When my Snowflake had hair loss, the FML people responded and suggested adrenal disease and Dr. Weiss. thanks to them she is doing well. AND when Lily had a lump on the end of her tail, someone sent me the photos of a chrondroma....off we went to the vet, sure enough thats what it was. she is doing well...her tail is just a little bit shorter but I don't even think she notices! Thanks to everyone who responded when I had questions..you're all great!
