That doesn't explain my adrenal 7 1/2 year old female with elevated testosterone levels that is totally devoid of fur. Yes, it was checked by Tenn. panel and she's on a high dose of Lupron and getting melatonin. Either she's the new strange case, or that doesn't always hold true. I wish it did, she could use a new fur coat.
