Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy- Good Bye Flynny We will miss you

Haha now theres a visual Kathy!!

He seems good this arvo, I picked him up and thought I really must take him for a walk as he did not have one yesterday other than a romp in the garden with my friends pup that we visit most weekends. But I was still in my "going out for Sunday brunch nice clothes (a dress)" but had my jacket and brolly in the car so thought I would brave it up the beach, what a bad idea that was... soon as we got about 5 mins from the car the heavens opened and the wind whipped up, it turned my umbrella inside out so I skuttled back to the car quick smart soaked, serve me right for leaving it so late! Flynn had his jacket on so he was alright and funnily enough he ran straight back to the car when I called him... phew, well least it was refreshing and I walked/ran off the lunch :D :D

Hey Trish,
Now I have another visual popping in my brain. You as a soaked rat and Flynn racing you to the car. LOL:DYou do have some adventures! I'm glad that Flynn felt well enough to romp and play, even if it was a very quick trip.;)
Hugs,
Kathy

Yes it was a race, he never lets me win either! :D

Hi Trish,
Please update us after Flynn's appointment on Tuesday. I'm anxious to hear how his sore little mouth is healing. I hope he is continuing to eat well. After all, he can't have fresh fish every day! Poor little thing has to wait for Thursday. ;):D What a lucky little bugger he is! I get fresh fish maybe once or twice a year.;)
Hugs,
Kathy

Just nipping into to say hello and to wish you luck for your appointment later. Hope the wee mans mouth is healing nicely

Been busy with lots of work. Nothing exciting!

Catch you later

Mel

Hello everyone!

It is late night at the vets so just got home from our appointment.

All is looking good in Flynn's mouth, he said it is still a little swollen but he was very happy with how it is healing! No signs of infection. He has no idea why it had not healed, but he thinks with all Flynn has been through he is not suprised he had an ulcer and it could have happened not that long ago as well. So now we just keep an eye on it and hopefully that is the end of it :D:D

RE tummy issues: we both very happy that in the last month he has only had a few mucousy poops. He does not think he needs to go back on the allergenic diet for now.

When he was off colour with his sore mouth and not eating well he dropped from his usual 13.8kg to 13.6kg.. so I got worried it was his gut playing up and started feeding him extra and today he is 14kg :eek::eek: so I am going to cut back a little on his midday snack!!

He said BP was the best it has ever been while he was under anaesthetic, gastroscopy looked perfect with no sign of ulcers or any other problems in his stomach or throat.

Hmmm think that is it. He had not heard from me since he txt the results last Wednesday, he said he had been checking his emails each morning expecting to hear from me. I had been so pleased I did not have to bother him while he was away :D:D I jokingly said that I should have sent a "he's good" message and he agreed that would have been nice of me! ;) I was trying not to be the crazy pet parent I am, who hassles him too much!! Honestly, I wish I could bottle him and send him to all of you that need a good vet!

We are now 19 months post op liver resection for liver cancer and also 6 1/2 months post op adrenalectomy!! So our plan going forward:

• Continue current meds and supplements: probiotic, vitamin/joint supplement, metamucil, tramadol, benzapril, amlodipine, losec capsule every few days
• Continue current food (venison meat, venison and potato grain free biscuits), keep allergenic biscuits as back up if IBD flares again
• Continue monthly BP checks, if it goes up it can be sign the pheo has returned, but we are hoping that now it is controlled with the Amlodipine and Benzapril the BP problem is one of primary hypertension.
• Monthly UP:CR urine checks to monitor kidneys
• Repeat ultrasound at pet hospital early December which will be the one year mark and he seems to think if the pheo has not come back by then it likely won't! Hurray!!
  
  ENJOY MY DOG AND DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH

So we do not have to go back for one month!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee Flynn is such a good boy! He did have a little fun at the vets, as we were leaving one of my friends who we walk with came in with her dog Dougal a huge golden retriever and they had a fine time bouncing around greeting each other, tangling their leashes and generally disrupting all the whole waiting room :D:D (the cats sitting with their owners were not impressed :eek:) I gave them each a biscuit :D:D (the dogs, not the cats :D:D)

Thanks for all your good wishes for me and the boy!! My boy is happy, so I am happy!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh Trish,that's great news!!I'm so happy-what a relief and so nice when you feels satisfied and the news is good.Keep up the good work!!You're vet sounds wonderful!!Too funny that he was checking and rechecking for a response from the very diligent mom.:).Sounds like you have a good plan for Flynn.Grace too has put on weight and is now on a diet-all those gourmet treats after Fella died caught up with her.
