Suki, her companion who is 1 year younger than Sugar has shown increasing p=
eculiar grooming behavior over the last 3 months. She alternatively nibble=

other every few seconds, she has to be
physically restrained before she stops this and I can't see any thing wron=

grooming behavior and itching are both possible minor adrenal symptoms she =
also now has the implant (Suprelorin) as a precaution and diagnostic.
I am pleased to report that the behavior mentioned above has ceased
completely 5 weeks after the implant (Suprelorin - Deslorelin) . It has tai=
