Hi everyone, I got some good replies from the FML regarding Valentine's mange around his mouth. Most people seem to think that it's related to his melatonin treatments for his adrenal disease. While it is becoming harder to wipe away, it doesn't appear to be doing him any harm that I can tell. The problem is, the melatonin/lupron regimen that he's been on for several months no longer appears to be effectively countering his adrenal diease. He's probably 80% bald on his body, and the hair on his face is starting to thin in some places. Because of his heart condition, Valentine is not a candidate for adrenalectomy or surgery of any other kind. So, I was reading an old issue of Exotic DVM and I read an article by Charles Weiss on the various meds used to treat adrenal disease. I'd love to hear from anyone who has used bicalutamide (Casodex), or flutamide (Eulexin) or finasteride (Propecia) to treat their fur kids. It looks like that's all Valentine has left to fall back on. John [Posted in FML 5773]
