Snoova had a left adrenal removed in September when the Spleen was removed. I'll pass the information along to the vet to verify that the right is not causing problems, although it looked normal in September.

I am so sorry for your loss, it sounds like you tried very hard to keep
her well and safe. You had her best at heart.
I can't speak to Brandy's situation. What I experienced with my female,
Tequila, she stressed out very badly after adrenal surgery, teeth
grinding, moaning weakness etc. She passed almost pure blood poops a day
or so later and her next surgery showed the same thing and in addition if
i remember correctly she vomited blood. In her case it was stress
related, she had developed an ulcer which was causing her pain and
internal bleeding. Her weakness was primarily due to her not eating as
much as she needed to due to her stomach pain. It was horrible to see her
in such pain, but by her second surgery I knew what was going on and was
able to nurse her with Pepcid, Amoxicillin and a hand fed diet of Chicken
Baby food and pedialyte. It took a week or so of nursing and she looked
horrible and had me worried sick but she did pull through.
I am so sorry for your loss.
