Guess who most likely has adrenal disease?
Really, you'll never guess, because it could be any of my trio.
Freya.
Did my weekly inspection/grooming today, and since last week her entire base of tail has balded, plus a patch on her right flank. She's showing no other symptoms yet - vulva is fine, weight is fine, thirst is fine, etc - but since the bald patches are so prominent and exactly where they usually show up, I'm not optimistic about it being seasonal shedding.
So... vibes that it's simply adrenal disease? Adrenal isn't an ideal diagnosis of course, but it's a common one, and luckily it's treated fairly easily over the long term.
I took her outside for some photos, to sweeten the deal for vibes.
And a pic of her balding bum... hard to see, I ruffled her fur to see it better. Completely bald at her tail base and two bald patches on her rump.
