I just wanted to update everyone on my baby Unagi whom I suspect is adrenal. Tomorrow we will be leaving California for Oregon (10 hour drive) where Unagi is scheduled for surgery on Thursday afternoon. I was convinced the adrenal surgery was the right treatment at this time, but than I read the post about adrenal being environmental. Now I'm confused. If infact it is environmental than Unagi more than likely is not adrenal. All my other ferts (5) are in great health. We never have had anything more than a URI (knock on wood). But the hair loss points to adrenal. Although the surgery is scheduled I am going to leave it up to the vets discretion whether to continue with surgery or to wait awhile and see if the symptoms get worse. Of course I run the risk of her hair growing back and fooling us into thinking it was a false alarm or advanced adrenal disease occurring. Either way it's a lousy dilemma to be in. Be well everyone - I will post again upon our (safe) return. Fuzzyhugz, Tanya and Unagi Tanya J.
