RobinM Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Most time after surgery there is a partial shaving of hair someone on their body- whether it was for the IVs or the surgical site. Beau had open abdominal surgery late January. he had IVs in both front legs and had all those areas shaved. He has been on pred since late January, however as of now, he is on only .5 mg and 25mg of imuran. The hair on his side/abdomen or front paws has not grown back because of the pred. Anyone know if that will ever grown back- I am just curious. It's been 6+ months, but we've just lowered it from 10 to 5. Will he have to be off altogether or will it just not grow. There is NO hair where it was shaven. Not even fuzz.

Guest Fasave Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Safari who has similar issues to Beau was shaved in January for his endoscope, IV's and ultrasound. He is on 10mg prednisone a day currently, no imuron (sp?). His fur has finally grown back but it took four to five months. Maybe it's something other than the pred? Just a thought.
