I have to say good evening on this as we just got back from Ft. Wayne.
Fang's surgery went well, it was her left adrenal.  My veterinarian let me
watch this surgery, also, and explained things as we went along.  There
were no other tumors in her body, everything but the left adrenal gland
was perfect.
 
So, he used laser surgery and removed it, then stitched her up.  I sat with
her in the office, on the heating pad for at least two hours (He likes for
us to do that in case of an immediate problem, and to make sure they're
coming out of it all right).  Fang did have one bad moment when it seemed
like she was frightened coming out of it, and literally leaped out of the
blankets, but I got her calmed down, she curled up and went back to sleep
(I've done something like that coming out of anesthesia, so know what
happened.
 
She slept almost all of yesterday, but did eat the baby food I had for her.
Last night I heard her eating and drinking on her own, and today she's been
fine.  I've got her cage set up for just her now.
 
We'll be off line starting tomorrow thru Friday evening, probably, so I'll
get caught back up on my FML reading then.
 
I want to thank all of you who kept Fang in your thoughts and prayers-I
know all the good thoughts helped us through this.  Thanks to all who
wrote to me, also.  I hope to get back to you after our move.
