Hello all...Boo's recovering very good this week. Next week he gets his sutures out. He's been back to his old self as much as possible. He's not liking the fluids very much though. I was wondering how long it should take before I see a regrowth of hair due to the alopecia from the adrenal disease? We found the left tumor was malignant, so I'm glad it's gone. So far, she said the right looks unremarkable. She said the part of the pancreas that was removed due to several lumpy bumpies was malignant. His liver biopsies were benign as well, but he's got kidney disease and has partial kidney failure which we didn't know until the labs came back post surgery checkup. So, I have to give the fluids every day now, he really has caught on and he hates it so much. It breaks my heart to stick him. Any suggestions for successful fluid giving & regarding the alopecia is appreciated. Emailing me is better, but I am always reading the board postings, too. Thanks! God bless,
Terra and her 5 outlaws!!
