Hello and dooks to all.. I have posted on here before about my dear sweet Kodo. Back in September he was diagnosed with adrenal disease after the Tennessee Panel was done because he had symptoms of symmetrical hair loss from base of tail to mid back, was urinating less, aggressiveness and was very itchy. Surgery was done October 1st. It was his right adrenal gland and everything else looked good while the vet was in there and had a look. Ever since the surgery, he remained itchy(thought it might be hormone adjustments and itchiness from the hair growing back in...still growing back in) and just didn't seem like himself although he played, ate fine, normal stools and urination. I had Kodo back to the vet about 2 weeks ago for itchiness and some minor skin allergies. After all information was given to the vet, he determined it was the carpet shampooing that was the cause and he gave me a special shampoo for me to use on him. At that time the vet checked his weight and he weighed 3.1 pounds. He wanted to see him back in 2 weeks. We took Kodo to the vet yesterday and told him of some more concerns with Kodo, mostly the aggressiveness still being present, his weight loss(looks boney), he doesn't seem to be himself and he still remains itchy. The vet checked his weight again and now after only 2 weeks, he only weighs 2 pounds; weight loss at about a pound in 2 weeks. Of coarse my heart sank and it scares me to death. The vet decided we need to do another Tennessee Panel test ASAP to check for adrenal once again, to feed him Bob's Chicken Gravy along with his regular kibble to help with the weight problem. Now, my questions to you is.. *Could he have adrenal in the other gland that soon after the removal of the right adrenal when there was no signs of the left one being bad during first surgery? *Could there be another cause for these symptoms? *What else can I do to help him with his weight loss besides the gravy and his normal kibble? *Will he be a suitable candidate for surgery with the weight loss? Any help or information about this will be greatly appreciated. I am wondering if it ever ends for my sweet boy. And I must say that I am scared to death and worried about my little guy and the possibility of losing him. Please help. And sorry this message was so long; though I should mention all things to help you give me some helpful hints and possibilities. Thanks for your help in advance.
