From my personal experience, just because hair has regrown, does not mean a
fert does not have an adrenal gland tumor. Symptoms/diagnosis/treatment of
a friends' fert:
July 96 - 1yo female, MF, swollen vulva, quarter size Hair loss on back of
neck. Ultrasound inconclusive (couldn't find the right gland). Vet says
wait and see....vulva un-swells and hair regrows.
Nov 96 - 75% Hair loss on entire body within about 2 weeks. No swollen
vulva. Hair re-growth as fast as it was lost so as to attend the December
Annual TriFL Club Party :-)
Feb 97 - Swollen vulva only.
Mar 97 - Surgery...right gland tumor, vet incapable of performing
adrenalectomy (although I sent the vet Dr. Bruce Williams info on right
adrenalectomies in 1996!) $300.
Apr 97 - New vet with right gland tumor removal experience. Surgery is
successful. $500.
