Hello, and thank you for reaching out. Dealing with an adrenal tumor in your beloved dog can certainly be concerning, but rest assured you're taking the right step by seeking more information.
Adrenal tumors in dogs can either be benign or malignant, and they may affect hormone production, leading to conditions like Cushing's disease. Symptoms might include increased thirst, frequent urination, hair loss, or a pot-bellied appearance. Diagnosing the exact nature of the tumor often requires imaging tests like an ultrasound or CT scan, alongside blood work.
For at-home care, ensure your dog maintains a balanced diet and has access to fresh water at all times. Keep her comfortable and monitor her energy levels and any changes in her behavior or appetite. Activity should be gentle, tailored to her comfort and stamina.
However, it's vital to watch for signs of serious issues, such as vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, or rapid weight changes. These could indicate complications needing immediate attention.
I recommend scheduling a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional to discuss diagnostic options and tailored treatments. Understanding the type of tumor and its impact will guide the best care plan for your dog’s health and comfort.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
