Hi,
I am assuming that the vena cava ligation was done to
completely remove a right adrenal gland. If this was,
in fact, a second adrenalectomy what you are
describing could be Addisonian symptoms. I would get
her to the vet ASAP and have her electrolytes checked.
If that's what it is the situation could become life
threatening fairly quicky so don't wait until Monday.
If your vet can't see her then take her to your local
animal emergency clinic.
Regards,
Caity and the super seven
