Just a quick note...my Gus had a right adrenal done with a vena cava
ligation last year in March. His symptoms had been only slight...little
to no hair loss; no increase in aggressive behavior, however his skin
had become wrinkly and fur was coarse.
If you have an extremely good surgeon, of which I am fortunate to have,
this surgery can and does do well. Gus was 5 years old at the time and
came thru with flying colors. Doc also needed to take a teensy bit of
the liver as it has started to invade there. There have been no signs of
any other adrenal activity from the left a year later.
Of course, we hoped, when we opened him up that it would be the left but
if hopes and wishes were money, I'd be a very wealthy woman! ;-)
