Plain-English summary
A nearly 10-year-old male Lhasa Apso was brought in for sudden lethargy and vomiting. The vet diagnosed him with a rare tumor called phaeochromocytoma and performed surgery to remove it. After the surgery, the dog received medication to manage a temporary condition similar to Addison's disease (a hormone imbalance). Six months later, he has fully recovered and shows no remaining symptoms.
