Sometimes when an overactive adrenal is taken out, the adrenal that was
inactive will kick into overdrive. That is why Daisy had her second adrenal
taken out just 4 weeks after the left was taken out. Unfortunately, it is a
hard decision whether to get the second taken out or try to treat medically.
I am a firm believer in surgery when possible. Talk to your vet and see
what they think/ You ,might try melatonin and/or lupron

fine... as she said she
