and guys! Good for y'all :)

Phew, home!! Least is not as far as Auckland so I should not complain!! Great visit, scan showed no change in the stomach nodule, adrenal gland fine. Liver no sign of any of the nodules in there taking off! So stable!!

Have sent UPC off for testing. No bloods this time as they were only done six weeks ago.

He had a good look at his front legs, to see if anything causing that limp when he gets up. He felt his elbows were wee bit thickend so thinks it arthritis. Considering retrying pentosan but to be honest I did not think it did a heck of a lot, so not sure I want to give him more drugs right now. He walks it off in a few steps so not causing too much trouble, he is continuing his NSAID.

BP was great... 130!! Hurray!!!

Heart and lungs sound fine, no change in his low grade murmur. He had a few sneezing attacks, he thinks it likely dust. Would be more worried if he had nasal drip, blood etc which he has none of. I wanted a chest xray, but he said there was nothing indicating the need for one. OK, well a vet that turns done money when a client is suggesting a test based on his clinical judgement I think is a good man!

His samilyn for his liver has just got too expensive $150 per month, so IMS said to give him adult Sam-e 200mg and add milk thistle so have to get onto ordering some as our local health shop did not have any. Staying on same meds otherwise.

So we await UPC but otherwise all good news... next scan in 3 months but he said to get in touch with him earlier if I am worried.

Sorry Lindsay, did not pick up on the guy thing!!

Thanks everyone!! I am most pleased with how it went today!! xxx

YAY! Go Flynn you handsome devil!

Thanks Suzie!! He is handsome isn't he :D:D thought it was about time I took down his Christmas pic, here he is with his best friend Elle, well it is a bit of a love/hate relationship at times lol I need an early night, work in the morning but at least its Fridaaaaaaaaaaaaay! xxx

Good news! WOOHOO!

Friiiiiiiday for me:D
Did you get the UPC results?

Enjoy your weekend and walks with our superb, super, sassy Flynn,
Love the new avatar too

Hey Addy!! No UPC yet, Saturday now so doubt it will be till next week. Hope it has gone done some! Went on a walk last night, had Flynn on his leash and run out the door, soon as it slammed behind me realised I had locked myself out DOH!!! had to break the door to get back in!! YIkes lucky I have a lockable security screen I can use to keep us safe, but there sure is a big hole... lots of extra ventilation overnight so lucky is warm :D:D have sent a message to the builder to please come fix it! :eek:

Sounds like a really good report overall, YYYAAA!!!!!

arooooooooooooooooooo! Great report, you Go Flynn! HUGS!

I used to lock myself out once a year. I kept hiding an extra key in the garage but because I only used it once a year, I never could remember where I hid it:rolleyes::o

Thank goodness my daughter moved five minutes away.

Hope they fix the hole!

I usually have a spare set of keys left at my parents, but couple of weeks back I took them back as huge pile of keys they had and the plan was for me to look at what keys were mine and give them back... hmmmm they were still sitting on the table waiting for that job to be done lol... Yep builder has got back to me and coming by early Monday morning to see what needs to be done. Surprising how much damage I can do when I swung the axe at it :eek::eek::eek:

I have locked the keys in my car so many times that I now carry a car key on my lanyard with my work keys and wear it all day. ;):eek:;)

When we meet you in Vegas Trish, don't bring your ax! LOL :eek::D

LOL, Kathy, what a visual that is, Trish swinging a big ole ax:D:D:D:D
I can picture the determination on her face!!!! Rather like when I attached the gutter I tripped over!!!!!

Trish- did Flynn watch you? Koko would have run and hid.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I can just imagine Flynny Boy laying a few feet back, watching with interest, one ear sideways, like saying "Go Mom!":D:D:D:D

Hi girls, I promise I don't usually go about with an axe! I have put a photo up of Flynns new dog door! :)

I love the redecorating of the door:D
Lol Trish, does Flynn look out the hole?

LOL I saw your photo! If they don't have a locksmith in New Zealand, you could start a new side business. It would be called Door Busters by Trish. Have ax will travel! lol ;):D:D:D:D:D

Just who else have you told this "not an axe" story to? Did they believe you?! :p

Haha now I feel like an internet axe murderer!!! Builder has been, shook his head and said why the heck you did you do that for LOL... he measured it up and coming back tomorrow to fix it!! It was 32 here today, still hot now sothe extra ventilation is not a problem :D

Yes Addy, Flynny does look out the hole, I think he will quite miss it when it is gone lol.

Still no UPC result, our IMS works at two places and is currently at the other one so I am trying not to hassle the poor man!! If nothing by Thursday I will ring though as Friday is a holiday here, NZ anniversary day.. yay short week! Flynn doing great this week, enjoying our evening hour long walks... gets a tad limpy by the end. Not bad, but still does limp when he gets up after laying for a while, front legs. Have cut him back to half a previcox, and give him a whole one if he looks sore. xxxxxx

UPC result is in... 1.02 dropping from 1.41 six weeks ago. That is after the increase of enalopril to 5mg twice a day. So a drop of 28%, I'm happy with that and it could go down some more yet :) xxxxx
ps: door is fixed! I've sorted out the keys so I don't do it again! :)

Great news, good boy Flynn:D

I would be happy with those results too. Hoping it drops even more.

Glad the door is fixed though Flynn probably misses his handy dandy homemade doggie door.

Hey the weekend is almost here!

Thanks Addy!! Yes very pleased, that was until he puked this morning. I got him a new grain free venison treat. He loved it last night, then woke to the sound of him puking it up, undigested!! Yucky. Anyway think he did not crunch it up enough and just sat in his tummy all night. Fine now, ate his brekky with gusto and just been for our morning walk despite the cold day. Brrrrrr.

Cold? A www wait are you approaching your Fall season? It is still so very much winter here in Wisconsin, it feels like our Spring is months and months away.

Throwing up , awww, poor boy, but glad to hear he is feeling better.

I'm home today, the city water crew was here to inspect and tell us the cost of converting from well to city water. Koko thought it was quite the treat having six men running all over the basement and yard, the snow is so deep I don't know how the little wheel measuring thing can work:rolleyes:
So I hope you can relax now and not worry anytime soon about scans and such. Hoping Flynn will not find some tasty dietary indescretion treat to munch on so his poos stay on track as well.

We had about sixteen inches of snow since last Sunday.:eek:
I can't throw the snow with the shovel, the piles are so high.

Happy Friday

Yep autumn is 3 short weeks away! Still usually stays warm first couple of months. Unseasonably cold today we have had high 20's/30 lately. Storm blew over but sun is out again already. It is a long weekend here, so Friday is definitely a good one today because I am not at work!!! Planning a family BBQ tomorrow, so better get it out the back of the garage and give it a good clean!

His tummy seems OK, did a good poop on our walk so hopefully it was just that treat not digesting properly, probably because he did not crunch it up enough!! Ohhh Koko has some excitement in the house today, Flynn keeps a close eye on tradies too, builder was here fixing the door and he gave him a good sniffing over!

Oh yeah, shovelling and throwing snow with your shoulder.. what are you thinking!!!!!!! x

Oh boy, a family barbecue, it sounds divine!

Our neighbor has a gas grill on their back deck and some nights when I take Koko out when I get home from work, we stand in our yard in the dark, wistfully smelling steak grilling away:D Hubby won't give up his charcoal, so no barbecue in the snow for us!

Have a great time, I am sure Flynn must love a picnic.

Ha, ha, with my shoulder, it has been a bit over a year and I can finally unhook my bra from the back:D

Maybe shoveling will loosen it more, ha ha ha:D:p

Nice! a family BBQ the temps are frigid here brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and we are expecting more snow and ice. It's the ice I fear.

Glad to hear Flynn's tummy is ok fingers crossed it continues.
HUGS!

I hope you had a nice day off and a lovely picnic!

Hey Trish! Popping in to say howdy to you and Flynnman.

What diet do you have him on now? That IBD sure can be a royal pain to keep in control. Maybe he can settle in and have a nice autumn and winter with no issues. Wouldn't that be lovely. :)

huggers

Copying Sharlene and saying "hi!"

Here again catching up...so happy to read the great report from the trip to the vet!! Yay Flynn...he's such a star!! Continues on as a total super dog!! Glad to hear!! :D:D Getting locked out..ugh...it's the split second when you realize you just did that..:eek::eek::eek:

Barbara

Hey Trish, happy weekend, I saw your green light on and wanted to say hi to you and Flynny. I'm stuck in bed with the flu, what next right? Can't seem to get out of this bad health rut.

I think a trip to Vegas could help:D

Hi everyone

We have had a nice week with no health worries YAY for those :D, no more vomiting and his appetite is good so really have to pin that episode of puking on that new treat last week, even though it fit right in for his food intolerances it obviously did not agree with him!! Sharlene, I am feeding him venison and fish ziwipeak. Seems to be suiting him for now, I do love this food as it is high quality, grain free and meets all his requirements and he usually does so well on it. Lucky there are a few flavours I can rotate between. They also have dog treats, and dry dog food.. well not exactly kibble consistency he loves them. It is more like a dry softish jerky type of thing.

I have a weekend away next week, he is going to stay with Dad... so will have fingers crossed that goes well. Mum is coming with me, I am sure they will be fine. Dad is doing a lot better lately and that infected hip of his has finally stopped leaking after one year of me doing the dressings!! Ortho specialists said they have a nasty habit of regressing but for now it is good so we will take it!

It is Valentines Day here, so Flynn and me are sending roses, flowers, chocolates oh yeah and bubbles to all our buddies here and lots of hugs and kisses for everyone to have a special day!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Aww we were typing at the same time.:D
Thanks for the Valentine wishes
