Subject: [ferrethealth] Adrenal Removal One Gland or Two?
To: ferrethealth@smartgroups.com
My 5 year old male has adrenal. He is balding, marking, and last Fri had trouble urinating. He is going to have surgery w/in the week for adrenal removal. The vet recomneded by the local rescue group in my area uses cryo. The rescue group always has both adrenals taken out in surgery. It seems drastic to me and am looking for solid advice or literature stating pros and cons to such a surgery. I mean is it worth risking a life of hormone shots to take out a healthy adrenal b/c it may become cancerous in the future? What are the odds of needing hormone shots if both are taken out? What are the odds of the second adrenal becoming cancerous if left alone? If anyone can help w/these questions, or provide any evidence to support not removing both I would greatly appreciate it.
