Subject: [ferrethealth] Adrenal - enlarged prostate - swollen belly
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Hi,
Nahum is 6 years and 4 months.
He is adrenal both of the 2 glands are involved.
He is on the monthly Lupron depot 500mcg
He is on Flutamide at 0.1 ml once a day
He is on liquid Melatonin 1.5mg
All was going good for months but Nahum started the past Tuesday to have his belly swollen and when he made pee, he didn't finish his pee and go away from the potty place still peeing. It is as he didn't feel that his bladder isn't still full of pee. He has had an appointment to the vet the last Friday. The vet did an ultrasound. The bladder is ok, nothing blocked, but the prostate did again grow and make the pee difficult to pass.
I have discussed with her to change the Flutamide for Propecia. To try the implant Deslorelin instead of Lupron depot. And surgery.
Nahum has an heart failure 2 years ago (not sure about the date) when the vet pulled a broken fang.
My vet send me an email this morning with more answers. As they don't have the Deslorelin implant. She will not doing the surgery. She is no comfortable with it. And want me to see a specialist surgeon. I am lost.Please help me.

provided:
Deslorelin said to be
'Emergency Drug Release'
so not available for sale
but that a specialist has
it and can implant it so
her vet suggests going
to that clinic.

Nahum seems to start to be uncomfortable for to move with his belly, difficulty to climb in his hammock, he makes a waves with his body when it is time to pee or poop.
He eats well (baby food lamb mixed with reduced protein Medical Feline canned food) His mood is good too.
Nahum is on Lupron since the 03 October 2008.
Thank you
