My friend doesn't have access to the internet so I am posting for her.
 
Kelsey, a 4yr.  sprite is showing signs of adrenal problems.  Her vulva is
enlarged and she is losing hair from the bottom of her feet.  At first we
thought she was rubbing the hair off from scooting on the carpet.  No hair
is lost from the tail but today we noticed a loss from her stomach.
 
The strange thing is that she is balding on the top of her head.  There is a
section about the size of a dime that is gone.  Is this also a symptom of
adrenal tumors?
 
She was feed Purina Cat Chow for about a year but was showing a weight loss
for the last couple of months and balding feet so we switched to Purina
Kitten Chow.  She showed an overall improvement on the Kitten food.
 
For the past three weeks she has been eating Select Care Cat Food.  The
balding on her stomach and head has happened in the last week.  Can this
balding be due to a change in food?  Select Care has a good percentage of
protein but 8% fat.  It is also high in fiber with little chicken.
 
Tonight she is going to be feed Purina Kitten Chow again mixed with Purina
ONE Kitten formula (35% protein, 16% fat).  We also have some Ensure to feed
through a syringe.
 
Any and all advice we be appreciated.  Kelsey is still active and alert, but
we don't want to take any chances.
 
Thanks
Britta(Bido) & Angel(owned by Kelsey)
