Hi Ulrike,

Ferrari is supposed to be about 2 years old but being a rescue, only rescued 6 weeks ago, we aren't sure. Ovarian tumours is another possibility so this is why I am trying to get weight on her to spey her. She was rescued with her sister who was in very god condition so it is thought they were being fed OK. Ferrari had been in season for a long time so this is another reason she may be suffering hair loss. I am trying to find a solution withut her having to go through the tests and everything. Hopefully it is a simple problem. She does seem to be growing quite a bit of hair back now but she did this as soon as I got her and then lost it again.
