Subject: Clyde's Upcoming Adrenal Surgery
To: ferrethealth@smartgroups.com
Message-ID: <15.697fb95.2b4c862b@aol.com>

I sent mail about a week ago, where I mentioned that one of my rescues had
been diagnosed with Adrenal Disease.

Well, Thursday he goes in for surgery, to have the Adrenal gland removed and
have a tumor on the end of his tail removed also.

Is there anything, like a heads up, we should tell the vet about? (Ya know,
like when a woman goes to have female surgery, remind the doctor that the
water runs under the bridge), all help would be greatly appreciated in
advance, as we have never undergone this type of surgery before and aren't
sure of what is done or how these lil babies rebound from it.

Normally, what is the recovery time for this kind of surgery, and what is the
normal medications prescribed post-op?

Thanks again
