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

Hi Trish,
Great job on the vet's email, very thorough! There is definitely some interesting theory going on there.:) I am somewhat concerned about number two on your plan. BAN TOYS! What are you thinking woman? LOL;):D It's bad enough that you're squirting gruel in through a clenched teeth, now no toys!!! I hope you're putting a little extra aside for the doggie shrink! :D. All kidding aside, I really hope that you're able to get a handle on Flynny's mouth ulcers.

So thrilled that Cooper is back to his playful, puppy self! He'd better rest up if he's going to be losing his jewels this week!:eek::eek: I can think of a few young men that could use that procedure too!LOL :D

I hope all that technical jargon went without a hitch today!xxxxxx

Just popping in to say i hope you are having a great day and that you get a response to your mail.

Harsh on Flynn sloppy gloopy stuff and now no toys, you may have a revolt on your hands!

Never heard of a dog being allergic to toys but I never knew they could have as many allergies till Kathy mentioned poor buddy's list!

Am sure your awesome vet will help you get to the bottom of it, you sorted out his belly so keep the faith :D

Hope your meeting and presentation went well, catch you in the morning, off to town tomorrow but will check in first thing

Mel
Xxxxxx

Trish,
I think your thoughts on possible allergic reaction make a lot of sense and maybe taking the toys away would give you an answer though Flynn may revolt!
Have you tried just doing a baking soda/water rinse in Flynns's mouth?
I know dogs can get sick from hydrogen peroxide if they ingest it, but all the human treatments for mouth sores have it as the main ingredient and it definitely soothes canker sores...maybe a q-tip with a bit of hydrogen peroxide diluted with some water would be another thing you could try on the sores, if you can get into his mouth that is.
Is there a possibility that the mouth sores could be a bacterial infection of some sort?
Have you already tried an antibiotic already? Would it be worth a try if they don't go away soon?
Just trying to come up with some ideas.

Off topic- do you have penguins in New Zealand? The morning news I watch off and on while I put Zoe's eye drops in- I have to wait a minimum of five minutes between drops- always shows a commercial for a heart drug and the "patient" is feeling so great on his new heart medicine he takes his wife to New Zealand. It then shows the couple walking in "New Zealand" and the next shots show penguins. I could google it, I guess, but thought it more fun to come directly to the source.:)

How is Flynn's mouth doing? Poor boy, mouth sores, no toys but HAPPY 7th month anniversary Flynn:):):)

We are having a rain day. It does not want to stop and the big fireworks display is scheduled at our Lakefront tonight to celebrate the Fourth of July. Looks like a wash out:(:(:( My week off and I only got in one pool day:(:rolleyes: Summer in Wisconsin:rolleyes::rolleyes:

HI Addy, we do have penguins... mainly the little ones though. We occasionally get one wash up that has been blown off course in the Southern Ocean. There was a dead one here on the beach many years back, boy Flynn rolled and rolled in it. Dead penguin is not a very nice smell. I buried it, darn dogs dug it up. I finally put one of his empty poop bags over my hand picked up the carcass and put it in a bin. What a stench. So there you, while they are not trotting along the beaches they are about :D:D There is a documentary show running at the moment on penguins, they are pretty cute!

Flynn is doing OK, still sore mouth but a bit better, maybe that SEB is working! His vet appointment has been put off until next Tuesday now, so will post results when I get them! Thanks for the tips Barbara, it is so hard to even get a good view of these ulcers that I doubt I would get anything in there directly on them, persevering with the SEB for now as that is not toxic if I miss with the syringe!! Will see what vet says about topical applications when I see him next week :) He has walked past his toy box a couple of times sadly looking at its emptiness :( Poor boy, thinks someone stole them all!

Poor Flynn.. we had to take all of Pearl's toys away too. She won't stop trying to go nuts with her ACL all messed up.
They just don't understand... In fact Boriss has been getting in trouble trying to make her play. Sad times at our house.. :D:(:p

I hope Flynn gets relief soon. I know it can't feel good.

Awww poor Flynn, no toys. :(
Hope the mouth starts heal though. That would be worth it. :)
ugh, carcass petrol too! That just sound yucky, but better than Flynn rolling in it I'm sure LOL

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Happy seven month anniversary Flynny boy!! Great job mom! Love ya Trish XXXXXXX

No toys? Well, I hope that Flynn recovers quickly so that he can have them back. Daisy would run away from home if I took away her toys.

Hopefully you'll get some answers soon. Allergies are tough to pinpoint.

Feel better Flynn!

7 Months! My how time flies. Congratulations on a fantastic recovery. :)

hugs,
sharlene and molly muffin
