Hi there,
I understand that deciding whether to remove or monitor your pet's right adrenal mass can feel overwhelming. Let's talk it through to help you make an informed decision.
Adrenal masses can sometimes be benign, meaning they might not cause problems. However, they can also be malignant or affect hormone production, leading to health issues. If your pet shows signs like increased thirst and urination, hair loss, or changes in appetite, this could suggest hormone imbalance, indicating the mass might be active.
Monitoring the mass could be suitable if it's small and your pet isn't showing symptoms. This usually involves regular check-ups and possibly ultrasounds to keep an eye on any growth or changes.
If your vet suspects the mass is malignant or causing symptoms, surgical removal might be recommended. While surgery has its risks, it can prevent potential complications from a growing or spreading mass.
Watch out for signs like lethargy, weight loss, or vomiting, as these might need prompt veterinary attention.
Ultimately, the best next step is to discuss this with a vet who can review your pet's specific situation. Please consider booking a video consult with us on Dial A Vet. We’d be happy to guide you through this process with personalized advice.

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
