She did Great, Thyroid 'Normal' just bald :P

Vet said all looks great, Thyroid was at 1.3 (lower end of 'normal') but he wouldnt put her on any type of thyroid meds, that Alopecia is just that - nothing physically wrong (in her case) just balding -

He said that we could try a suppliment, but what works for 1 bully, might not work for the next 2-3 bullies - (or maybe the suppliment regiment just timed with hair regrowth).  Who knows w/ the Alopecia - but its nothing to worry about (except us looking at it)

But, we are going to start her on 'MISSING LINK'  that was recommended by several at the Bully (Get together), and other local folks.

.

Weight 52lbs and holding, eyes, ears, nose, and toes all accounted for :) :)

.

Thanks for all the well wishes :) Info :) Insites  etc -  we'll try the MISSING LINK and see if there is any improvement (if not, its good for her Joints too)

Rick, Dottie and Gizmo

Thanks for the update!

Hopefully the Missing Link will help.  Gus had a mild case of SFA a couple of years ago and we used Calm Coat spray on him and it helped a little.  You can read about it online at calmcoat.com.

Glad to hear that everything else is going well for your girl.  She's a sweetie!

I would keep an eye on the thyroid

Maybe test her again in a year. Next winter try to get her more sunlight if possible. You can always try the melatonin.

I'll bet Gizmo is so happy to know everyone was concerned!!! :-)   Love ya, Gizmoooo!!!

Auntie Gizmo

Holy Bully!  52 pounds, Kippah apparently did not get her petite figure from Gizmo's side of the gene pool!  LOL

Good news that all is well.  Is Missing Link a supplement?  (I could look it up, but I am at work and well......no, just being lazy)  If it is a supplement I wonder how it compares to NuVet.
