I'm going to check her treats for glycerin also. Thanks so much for this find! |
Where on her body is her hair thin? If it's on her paws, that would seem normal if she's been chewing them. However, if it's on her back/torso or on the shafts of her legs (where she doesn't lick/chew), then you should really get a thyroid test ASAP...and, check out symptoms for Cushings, just to review them and see if they fit.
How old is she? Any other odd/random symptoms like excessive peeing/drinking, increased hunger, pot belly, lethargy, heat intolerance, hind leg weakness...anything?
