We handle adrenal disease the same way, again on the advice of very good vets. While there hasn't always been hair loss (Romana's only symptom was a swollen vulva) there have always been adrenal tumors. While there are times a Tennessee Panel makes sense in each and every case the adrenal symptoms became clear and obvious and our vets haven't seen the need to order one.
All the best,
Caity and the fantastic five
