Well, I agree with surgery, but honestly, I would not bother with the
ultrasound unless you also want to have her heart checked.  You're
planning surgery anyway - your vet will be able to determine the affected
gland (or glands) at that time.  I'd put the money into the surgery,
rather than the ultrasound.
