To Meg Carpenter: Has there been a recent study I missed confirming that early neutering and adrenal disease are associated? I know there has been a considerable amount of speculation, but your post says "Early neutering is definitely a factor...." If something has been recently published, could you please let us know of the study and who published it? Thanks - Debbie Riccio WNYFLFA Rochester, NY [Posted in FML issue 1216]
