Hi, everyone,
When Adric developed rat tail with blackhead we
thought adrenal and our vet wasn't so sure. By next
coat change the rat tail was gone and there was never
any indication that Adric had adenal during his
lifetime. I know some believe hair loss on the tail
is 100% adrenal but I don't quite believe that.
I thought we might be having the same thing with Chin
Soon but the hair loss is spreading to the base of the
tail with some thinning on her rump. I'm reasonably
sure in her case it's adrenal and she's going to the
vet. I'm thinking surgery and preparing for it.
All the best,
Caity and the fantastic five
