Hi all, I have a 5 yr old (approx - i got her as an adult) silver named Daisy who's had two adrenal surguries in the last year. In the beginning she looked fairly healthy but things have progressed such that she is now furless on most of her posterior dorsal region around the spine and back legs, and her tail is completely covered with blackheads and is without fur. Her belly has only a thin layer of fuzz, about 1-2mm in size. Her head is bald, and other places as well. And its getting worse. That's not the worst part, she's lost some weight (how much I don't know), so that she is extremely skinny now, you can see pretty much her whole skeleton. Otherwise she is active and normal. She eats but not alot. She doesn't take treats she used to like such as ferretone and ferretvite. She will have a bit of peanut butter or a raisin, but that's it. She eats Iams Kitten Chow. She seems in good health except these two problems, but I feel that they are progressive and will keep getting worse. She had her last adrenal surgury about 2-3 mo ago. She lives with two others, a male and female, both younger, and they do not have any sort of weight loss or fur loss problem. I know I can 'force'feed her a liquid diet of A/D and kibble and ensure, or something of that nature, but I really don't want her to switch to that type of diet, and to be honest I just can't be around to feed her every 2 or 6 hours; I work about 10-12 hrs a day and my job site is far away from home. Does anyone have any idea about switching foods, adding foods, etc??? Any help appreciated. Thanks!
