I noticed the same pattern of loss, regrowth, diagnosis of adrenal tumor.
I first noticed on a 2 yr old sprite, with quite an alarming( to me) loss of hair in prep of
winter coating.
I knew what it looked like, and took her to the Vet, who thought at the time that it was
highly unlikely adrenal in one so young.
Sure enough, 6 months later she went in for surgery.
