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

Well Trish, it is getting late here so I better let the little man out one more time and then head to bed. I'll need to update our thread tomorrow. It has been lovely chatting and getting caught up! Enjoy the rest of your evening. Nighty night! Hugs, and smooches for Flynny! :)

OMG rats make me cringe, mice not much better just smaller. Wonder how your one got loose, brothers playing with it probably :D I had a cat that used to go hunting and bring them home. He would eat them, I remember in the middle of the night he brought one inside through his cat door only trouble was it was not dead. Flynn heard the ruckus of Simba announcing he was home with a present and leapt out of his bed to investigate, well the cat dropped the rat, then they both chased it around and round the lounge. Flynn caught the rat, Simba was highly pee'ed off he had lost his prize and started on at Flynn. I opened the door and shooed the whole lot of them outside! Thank goodness he caught it again or I would have had nightmares if it got loose in my house.

My parents are OK, they are doing more tests on Dad to find out why he is anaemic. The renal mass and AAA are both small enough to watch and wait for rescan in 6 months. He is quite good though, still walking Flynn daily and keeping himself busy. Mum has had her Holter and waiting for results. Busy couple of months with them so hopefully they both continue to tick along with nothing else cropping up! Glad your brother is close by to keep an eye on your Mom, doesn't stop you worrying though does it.

I could not do psych, I do not have the patience for it! Love my job now though :) I have a nurse coming from Australia to work with me this week, so that will be interesting! She wanted some experience with the type of work I do so I am looking forward to showing her around! Nice you have an office job, least the hours are usually better, often the stress isn't though. Yes it has been nice to catch up, has been a while and I will be looking for Jasper's update tomorrow night!! Have a good sleep you guys! xxxxx

Can't sleep so looking at photos and catching up on posts, your Flynn makes me smile, the rat stories are hilarious, we are so blessed to have our fur babies! Take care!

Really loved the photos Trish. Zoo visit comment of yours cracked me up! It is sooo true. Wonder what the critters in the cages think of this face starting at them so intently. LOL

Glad to hear your parents are doing okay for now. Hope there isn't anything wacky off on the Holter results. My husband had to wear one of those, quite a few years back now, and we actually worked on setting posts for the deck that weekend. He said, well if it's going to be something wonky on it, they might as well get the full picture. Only thing is that there is a bit of an electrical issue with the heart, and nothing to be really concerned about. No spikes or dips or anything like that, so figure if that Weekend didn't show anything alarming, then he's doing pretty good. (there were jack hammers involved in drilling through rock) I hope your moms is good and they can figure out what's going on with your dad.
Walks with Flynn though are a good thing! Long as he can do that, I bet he is feeling pretty okay with things.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi Trish,
I love the rat story!LOL It reminds me of some of Buddy's lizard adventures! Never a dull moment!:;):D Both of my parents live with me. They are in their 80s. I can sympathize with the difficulties that your parents are having. Sending healing energy your way.:)I'm happy to hear that Flynn continues to do well so he can continue to go and terrorize the rats. :D They are not my favorite animal. Yes Trish, thank you for clearing up the weather question. I did get confused with the Celsius. I am a Southern California girl after all!:D
Big hugs,
Kathy

Hi everyone
Sorry have not been in much, had a very busy week.

Flynny had two nights sleepover with his Nana and Grandad, picked him up this morning. Few issues with him not getting his meds at the right time, I think it might be a might too much for Mum and Dad to look after him overnight now which makes me sad, plus I will never be able to go away again :(. I wrote out very clear instructions but even so when I got him today he had not had his morning BP meds or Tramadol. He was a bit panty so I was not too happy. I have had a friend here this afternoon and she helped me look in his mouth and I am sure there are ulcers in there still. :( Pretty sure it is not just normal tissue folds, it is 3 weeks since his surgery so it should be healed by now. I will speak to vet next week, he left his biscuits before too.

He is rather quiet choosing to stay inside and snooze while I was just outside pruning my roses back and pricking my arms in the process, so not a great day overall!! God knows what has been happening with his poops as they had not seen any but he does tend to go in the garden at their house.

I am going to take him for a walk up the beach see if he perks up. Will catch up with everyones threads tonight, hope you and the pups are doing ok this week! xxxxx

Hi Trish,
I am so sorry about your folks. I know how you're feeling right now and it sucks. My folks are always dropping pills on the floor, then can't seem to find them. It freaks me out big time! :eek: I can't be gone overnight either. :( Poor Flynn, his mouth must still be sore. :( Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.:) Big hugs to you and that precious boy.

Well he has been OK today, I do see him shaking a little more, sometimes I see his head trembling a little too. Not seizure like, he has always been a shaky dog since he was little and I have showed his vet and he does not seem to worry about it. He is sore, when he ate his dinner tonight the first few mouthfuls he would shake his head a bit. He ate it all though, biscuits and all.

I worry about these ulcers, they noticed them mid 2012 when he had a dental, teeth were ok then as they are this year so it is not dodgy teeth bothering his mouth. Must be something causing them so I will have to ask his vet to look into it further. He does rub his face along the carpet a lot, but then again he has always done that too :confused::confused::confused: I even asked the vet whether the fluff from the innards of all the toys he destroys could be causing it, he thought not!

Anyway, he loved his walk this arvo and was really energetic and ran like the wind which always does my heart good :D:D

Well, As long as he's running like the wind, he's okay.:D I'm glad!
Hugs,
Kathy

Hey You

Thanks for your note on miss t's thread. I have to go out now to get the last few bits for out hols but I read the little guy was still having mouth trouble.

I was doing a bit of reading about slippery elm and it is also good for mouth ulcers! Might be worth seeing if you can pick some up

Be back later to catch up

Big hug

Mel
