Stacey, among useful data at the links found through the Geocities site
below my signature is one which goes into the particulars of multiple
foods.
 
Lisa, for hind leg weakness there are many possible causes, but adrenal
growths are not usually among them.  Do get his blood sugar levels checked
in case he has developed insulinoma since that is a common cause.  If
Lysodren is tried for the remaining adrenal tissue be aware that you
will have to regular sodium:potassium ratios done and that there is good
chance (it either doesn't work, or works too well at shutting down adrenal
tissue) that at some point you will have to *rapidly* jump to Prednisone
and Florinef when he crashes with an addisonian crash (too little adrenal
tissue remaining to provide enough essential hormonal products) so will
need to have those two meds already acquired and handy.  We avoid
Lysodren.  Besides, the weakness could easily have a different cause,
so a vet appointment and testing are needed.
