Hi.

I am brand new on this Forum but I like what I read so hopefully someone out there will help me with my tears and sadness.

We have a 11 year old Doxie named Bondo. Lots of drinking water and wanting to go outside, calcium deposits on his skin etc. Into the vet and we did all of the blood work and the High dex testing and the results (just yesterday) came back that he has a tumor on his adrenal gland (Cushings).....The doctor said a C Scan would help me know how big the tumor was...etc. He mentioned medicine that may help him but would take months. I have an appointment with my Vet tomorrow to ask questions. How do I make the decision whether to have surgery or take the meds. Bondo is in great shape heatlthwise other than the fact that he is 11 years old. He has had his anal glands removed about 3 years ago and last year he had a fatty tumor removed on his chest area but good kidneys, no blood sugar or heart problems.

With surgery (which I do not think I will choose)..how long is the recovery period?

Thank you for any helpful words or info you may send my way.
