You and Bella will be in my thoughts and prayers, especially Tuesday! As you said, she is a young, strong girl and will handle the surgery, post-op and recovery very well. You hang tough.

Hi Kris,

I'm sorry your Bella has an adrenal tumor. My Shiloh had a very large tumor in her left gland and it was affecting her health ALOT. In our case, an adrenalectomy was necessary. Your...

Oh Leslie,

I am so very sorry that you lost Squirt. My goodness, you did everything you could possibly have done for her and finally her little body just gave out.

Leslie, I do know that the...

Hi Janis,

I am sorry to hear that Darby's tumor was malignant. The really big tumors are more likely to have cancer cells but the degree of malignancy of adrenal tumors is low. Shiloh's tumor...

Hi Janis,

I wanted to briefly relate the very positive story of my dog's adrenalectomy. Shiloh was diagnosed with a 5.5 cm. tumor in her left gland at 12 years old and was doing poorly. We had...

Hi Abby,

I don't check in here much anymore but did this afternoon, saw your thread and wanted to reply. My Shiloh had a 5 cm. adrenal tumor in her left gland, was doing very poorly and had a...

Hi Janis,
I am so sorry Kira is having such difficult issues now. I know how deeply you love her and it is just devastating for you to go through this now. She has always been a warrior and a...

Hi Beckie,

My female shepherd mix had a very large adrenal tumor and had a successful adrenalectomy. As Lori said, if both adrenals are enlarged, that definitely indicates pituitary dependent...

I am praying big time for Rudy and that God guides the surgeons and professionals to do everything exactly right for him. Rudy is clearly a fighter!

I am praying and will continue to pray for Rudy today.
Ken

Hello and welcome. Good job of getting Rudy's diagnosis of an adrenal tumor. My dog Shiloh had a very large, mildly malignant adrenal tumor in her left gland, about 5 cm. in diameter. She had her...

I agree with Kim, you want to know the size of the tumor and its involvement with area blood vessels. You want to get a feel for how many similar adrenalectomies s/he has performed and the long term...

What the people at the facility said about it being a huge surgery is absolutely correct. I think you are more than half way out of the woods. Your boy endured a big-time trauma and it's going to...

Tomorrow is awfully soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRA, you teenager! Janis, just enjoy every moment with your sweet girl and I know your party is/will be great. FWIW, Shiloh ate plenty of chicken and salmon, some good bites of...

Even before your most recent post, I was thinking that you probably should at least cut back on the Trilo. Dogs are so resilient and I think it's very doubtful that Bugs is feeling punky as a result...

Hello and welcome,

My beloved Shiloh had a 5 cm. mildly maignant adrenal tumor in her left gland surgically removed in 2007 at the age of 12. Her quality of life was very poor prior to surgery. ...

Is there a reason that a bilateral adrenalectomy is not an option? Generally, a bilateral adrenalectomy provides a complete cure. I remember once, my surgeon told me he doesn't care how many he has...

Hello and welcome,

I am very sorry you have to deal with an adrenal tumor with Casey. My wonderful shepherd/collie mix, Shiloh, had a very large, mildly malignant corticol adrenal tumor...

Hi Trish,

I'm sorry Flynn is feeling a little punky. As you mentioned, it could be his pancreas acting up, the antibiotics, or something else, a little bug. Who knows with these pups?

I...

Hi Trish,

I've been following Flynn's progress. I'm glad the gal told you that what Flynn is going through is not unexpected after an adrenalectomy. As you know, it is perhaps the most difficult...

Trish,

You and Flynn are definitely in my thoughts and prayers. His tumor is on the small side, he is a strong, healthy boy and you have a great surgeon and facility. Still, you are very...

Hi Trish,
It sure does sound like you are doing everything right for Flynn and you have a great team working for you. My dog had her adrenalectomy to remove a very large corticol adrenal tumor...

Maddie recently turned three years old and she is a complete delight. She loves everyone and everything. She is a great retriever, absolutely loves to run and swim. She is even a watch dog but not...
