Have lost track, but was pathology done to know if there was actually a malignancy. Most adrenal tumors are not malignancies.

I saw a hypothesis advanced by a non-vet once on that but I don't know of any study, and the person who advanced the hypothesis had a lot of variables present. The reality is that if I had a sheet if paper for each hypothesis out there I could paper our condo. Some may eventually pan out and many likely won't. We all have our favorites that we try to wrk around; Steve and I put them into covered cages at night to maximize melatonin output. Like I said, some hypotheses wil pan out and some won't ovedr time as more in known.
