Well, we did the surgery on Major Burns yesterday (Wednesday). For those of you who remember, he woke up a week ago with ataxia and lethargy, and when checked, his blood glucose was 48. After consultations with my vet, a week on pediapred while my vet consulted with Dr. Roger Kendrick at the Bowen Road Animal Clinic, in Grand Prairie, Tx, we decided to go ahead and do the surgery here in Longview. The great thing about Dr. Kenny Kimbrough, is he knows his limitations. He is technically outstanding as a surgeon, but not having done the partial pancreatectomy before, he wanted to be sure he wasn't going to get into something Major Burns couldn't handle or that was beyond his skills in the area if it turned out more complicated than expected. Dr Kendrick suggested checking the adrenals while he was in there, and sure enough, the right one was involved with disease. Dr Kimbrough removed 3 nodules from the pancreas, and removed the tumor or diseased tissue from the right adrenal as well. Major Burns came through well. He's resting, sleeping a lot, as expected, but did eat some chicken last night and this morning along with A/D and about 1/2 teaspoon of Duck Soup. My question is this. Since he didn't remove all of either organ (maybe he took all of the right adrenal, I'm not sure of the procedure), what kind of post operative therapy should we expect. He says Dr Kendrick indicated that no unusual medical therapies should be expected unless sympoms eventually reappear. What has been the experience of you FML'ers with more experience with these diseases? Thanks in advance for the input. Major Burns says Hey!
