History and Initial Treatment
Pixelle, a 13 year old Shih Tzu, started her long cancer journey in June of 2020 when she was diagnosed with a left-sided adrenal mass after undergoing a thorough workup for vomiting, polyuria/polydipsia, and intermittent urinary incontinence. A pheochromocytoma was ruled out as a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test was consistent with Cushing’s Disease (cortisol secreting tumor).
