Anyone have any suggestions and experience with surgery for BOTH right adrenal and insulinoma at the same time? VETS out there: Any advice for us? Bean's got adrenal trouble on the right side, and also has symptoms of insulinoma. I assume the insulinoma is the priority, right? I know it's proper "vet etiquette" for me not to interfere with what Dr. Diehl is doing, so I guess I'm also asking if he can call with questions. He doesn't have internet access at the moment. I'm also asking what I can do pre- and post- surgery to help Bean as much as possible. Thanks- Andrea PS-- She had a particularly bad low-blood sugar seizure this past weekend, which consisted of her being unresponsive for about an hour and a half, her temperature being in the mid 90's, her heart rate at about half what it normally is, and at one point - no blinking reflex or swallowing reflex. I somehow managed to get her out of it by giving her sub - cu fluids, keeping her in a heating pad, and rubbing syrup water on her gums. Is there *anything* else I could have done to help her come out of it sooner, or prevented it from getting so bad? She's okay now, and I've been feeding her every few hours. Finally- what can I do to insure she won't go into hypoglycemic shock before, during, or just after surgery? What can I be expecting?
