Well, Dr. Williams, from what I read in the last issue, he's probably got adrenal disease. The balding spot is from about halfway down his back to his butt. It includes the area where the hair never grew back from the surgery to have his skin tumor removed. I can give an exact location on my next posting. If it is an adrenal tumor, what will I be able to do? He won't survive another surgery. It took him forever before he was back to normal from just having a simple tumor taken off. I'd hate to think about an actual surgery where the doc would have to really go prodding and poking around inside. Of course, he *is* old. He's been with us for almost four years and he was more than full grown when I got him. So, he's probably six or seven. [Posted in FML issue 1030]
