The Tennessee panel sent back the test results for Taz.  Elevated levels on
all counts, which confirms the initial adrenal diagnosis.  I spend $300 on
tests to confirm what I already know!  Oy vey.
 
She goes in for surgery tomorrow, so keep us in your thoughts.  I know it
has a low fatality rate, and could be considered almost a "standard
procedure" on our North American fuzzies, but it's my first sicko and so
I'm a little worried.
 
And for all of you who kindly informed me that it was outrageous, after
checking out prices here in the lower mainland, I have had the $700 figure
confirmed, too.  Sigh.  I'd love to ship her to Ontario where you guys are!!
