I would put the money for the adrenal panel towards the surgery. Even glands that look normal can be a problem, so I wouldn't use the fact that it looked normal during the first surgery to mean that it can't possibly be a problem now.

A few weeks back his hair started to thin in the typical adrenal disease way. Yikes, it is coming out fast. My vet recommended the TN panel but with all this hair loss and major itching and his prior history, isn't it safe to assume it is his other gland?
