Subject: Adrenal Surgery while on Pred
Bogie will be getting adrenal surgery next Thursday. He is on Pred for insulanoma, .02 twice a day. The vet would like me to give him only half his Pred dosage for three days prior to surgery (I guess Pred has effects on healing???). Anyway, my concern is that he will have a seizure while I'm at work.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has had their insulanomic ferret have adrenal surgery and whether or not they decreased Pred before surgery. Bogie is almost 7 years old.
Thanks,
Marjorie
