Thanks Dr. Dutton for answering my question about ketoconazole. Since I now have proof that her cortisol levels are low and everything else is high I highly question the use of this medication. Therefore one more question one more time. If Idgie has insulinoma also, does that make her a poor candidate for surgery to now try to take out the right adrenal gland (remember left one has been removed)? thanks for any vet's time, effort, and advice.
