Thanks for responding. Maybe this is turning into an adrenal question...at what point should he be on meds for adrenal? At 7 he's not a candidate for surgery. His only symptom (as long as the urinating isn't a problem) is general hair loss/thinning over his back--now up onto his shoulders. And the hind leg weakness but he's so pendulous...

Luckily he seems pretty happy though.

I'll read more in the archives...but an opinion about at what point meds should be started would be appreciated.

Thanks again.
