I also had this just happen to my Tuptee.  She had had adrenal surgery
about 2 years ago.  When she started with signs again ( only a swollen
vulva, NO hair loss,she had a gorgeous coat) I got her a series of 3
Lupron shots.  Her vulva went down.  Then it came up again, and I thought
we'd try the Melatonin,since it's working well on my 2 males.  When we
gave her the implant, it bled, and wouldn't stop.  Never imagining non
clotting blood,we assumed we nicked a vein.  She actually needed stitches
for it to stop.  All seemed well.  She was sleeping a lot, but she was 6
1/2.  Her wound healed nicely and I removed the stitches.  2 weeks later,
she was dead from anemia.  I still can't believe it.  She showed no
outward signs except the bleeding from the implant.  That was a big wake
up call for me.  All my adrenals are males except her.  I am always on
the lookout for "blocking" I didn't think there was such a danger with
the girls.  The vet I took her to also said that the anemia can happen
in males with adrenal, too.  Scary.
