Zoe (who is 2) had exploratory surgery this morning to remove adrenal tumor=
(s). The vet just called and said that she did not see any tumors in zoe a=
t all. she said that the adrenal glands were normal and were very tiny, alm=
ost microscopic. Zoe is itching all the time and her vulva is a little swol=
len. we did a tennessee panel which came back very high and that zoe did h=
ave adrenal probs. the dr is going to start zoe on melatonin when her sutu=
res come out. I had a normal blood test ran on her as well which showed he=
r lymphocytes were very high. the dr thinks that it could be from the stre=
ss of her itching all the time. is this true? her lymphocytes were 88.9 =
normal is only 10-44. her hemoglobin was 12.8, mcv- 50.2 mpv-10.7 neutriphi=
ls 6.0 total neutrophils# 0.3 total lymphocytes#- 4.2 everything else was=
normal. any suggestions to this? The dr thinks that we may have caught i=
t too early and will have to do the surgery again later on. will the melat=
onin help alot? Please help, I dont know what to do for her.
