Hi Becky,
>From your description, it is likely one of two things.
1) It is merely bruising (purple striae) from the hormone
levels changing. Hopefully this it what is going on with Yozum.
I have seen this just 1 time with Lupron, but it is common after
adrenal surgery.
2) Yozum's bruising is from a low platelet count. This is a serious
and possibly fatal condition (DIC). Please have your vet check the
platelet count on Monday morning! If the platelet count and pcv are
normal then it is merely bruising.
Let us know what you find on Monday's bloodwork,
