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

Trish, a BIG congratulations on the 7 month anniversary of Flynn's surgery. What a milestone for our boy!!! I sure hope his mouth is healing since he has to suffer through no toys. I was chuckling at the story of trying to pill your Mum's cat, I could just picture it all, but so glad you didn't get scratched or bit. Cat bites can be awful. And glad that Flynn stole her fish, serves her right for taking a swipe at him!! :D :D.

Hugs from me and Jasper, and an extra smooch and belly rub for Flynn.

The cat pill story was hilarious! I needed a laugh!:D I could just see you battling with that cat.;) Have you tried one of those pills shooters? It's like a syringe, but doesn't have a needle at the end. You stick it far back in their throat and then you shoot the pill in. Choking is still a possibility if the pill is large I suppose. Do they have any kind of "pill pockets" for cats. Buddy loved taking his pills with those. He thought he was getting a treat. Thank you for being there last night.xxxxx

Morning

Missed you last night(your time) I woke later this morning and work is becoming very difficult, I have too much on my to do list!

Hey
What's this about a trip to New Zealand to visit you and Flynn??I want in!!!!.Can you hold the curry though?:D:D.Hope all is well and you are enjoying your weekend.I just woke up from the night shift a bit groggy and am enjoying my "morning" coffee!Hugs to you and Flynn.
Love,
Patty

Haha Patty, Yep, your in for the visit!! Come along, I would so LOVE to meet you :D Ohhhhh everyone, you can all come!! Wooooo K9C reunion in NZ!!!! Wouldn't that be fantastic, Flynn would be so spoiled by all his Aunties and Uncles :D:D:D

Why do you do night duty all the time, that messes with my system and I have not done it for 15years and was very glad to see the back of it!!

I am up having my morning green tea but probably a very different time of the day, 9.30am Saturday morning here!! I am furiously doing the laundry as it is a nice sunny windy day so it will dry very quickly on the line. I want Flynn's blankies all done and he has 3 couch blankets including my throws which he has claimed! 2 bed blankets, 2 red pads, 1 bed cushiony thing plus his actual bed... that will take about 3 loads!!

He is still a bit itchy and I have found a hot spot on his flank that I have put Neotopic on (that's a steroid, anti inflammatory, anti itch cream). When I showered him a couple of nights back I saw a flea wash off him :eek::eek: So he has been Frontlined and I want to get the whole house vacuumed and hopefully no more of the little blighters will survive. :eek::eek:Eek fleas in the house, that might put Kathy off coming to visit me hahahaha :D:D Truly, it was just one Kathy!!

But he is still itchy despite being on the antihistamine for 5 days now so it must be due to the flea bite. He does tend towards a small allergic reaction with them so hopefully it will settle down now!! I wish everyones problems on here were so small.

Otherwise he is good, he crunched up his biscuits this morning so that makes me think his mouth is better. His one remaining toy in his toy box is a Kong that you can fill, so put more biccies in there and he had a little game with it. I will call into the pet store today I would like to get some more safer toys for him as I feel like I am depriving him but he has not really gone looking for his toys too much surprisingly. He loves rolling that Kong around and getting his prize so something that makes him think would be a good thing for Flynnikin :D:D

Addy - if you read this can you or anyone else for that matter give me some advice on continuing his probiotic. Do you leave Zoe on it all the time. I now only give him 1/4 tsp each night, together with 1/4 tsp of Metamucil for a bit of added fibre. His poops have been good for about a month!! It's a miracle!! I wonder if I should keep the probiotic going or stop it and see how he does. I kinda think if its not broke don't fix it, but maybe I should keep it on hold while he is good? What do you think?

His vet appointment is now next Tuesday so I can run that past his vet as well. I love WEEKENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you all for checking in on us!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Trish,
It sounds like Flynny has flea allergy dermatitis. Buddy picked up a couple of fleas at the vet one time. He scratched his skin raw for weeks and weeks! It is something about the flea saliva that irritates them. No, a few fleas here and there are not going to scare me off. I did check into more flights today and there are flights going out of San Diego also. They cost more, but I'd have to pay more anyway if I had to fly to LA first. Booking one out of San Diego would be much better. Still dreaming. I might look into seeing what's involved to get a passport and see how long it takes to process. I'm glad to hear that Flynny's mouth seems to be doing better.:) Are you going to continue to give him the SEB? We'll chat later Xxxxxxxxxx

I think your right about the flea allergy dermatitis, it is only in one spot so hopefully will clear up quickly. In his younger years he had Prednisone when these flared up, but really trying to avoid that even though the cream has a small amount in it. I am still putting the SEB on his ulcer area twice a day will have to cook some more fresh today. When I see my friend later this arvo I am going to have another good look in there with the torch so I can see what is going on, it is too hard on my own and I hate distressing him trying to hold him while I have a look.

That's good flights go direct from San Diego :D when you got here it would be another 1 hr flight from Auckland to where I am in Napier as well. You would love it here today, clear blue skies, warm, fresh breeze though. Perfect for a walk later on! HAVE YOU FOUND YOUR PURSE??

hi there trish just a pass thru to say hi and to let you know how delighted i am to see flynn is still well besides.the bites,just a miracle.i am giggling at all the fun posts you ladies have posted =such a nice refreshing fun filled page to read.sending all here many xoxox....we are up the mountains trying to stay cool for a few days with our meka.......always patty(milo)meka xoxox :) <3

Trish,
No such thing as just one:D(fleas that is).Both Grace and Fella were infested last year-don't know how since they were on Frontline but what a job to get rid of them!!Grace is prone to hotspots and they can get out of control very quckly.They were weepy and the only thing that used to dry them out was salt water.I used to scoop up a bucket of ocean water and pour it on the spot.It seemed to dry it out and heal it quicker.

Actually,I don't mind the night shift.I left the floors for awhile to do the mon to fri thing in case mgmt for a few years but it ended up to be a 2hr commute in rush hour each way just to get to work.I just recently went back to the floors since I missed doing the 3 12hr shifts.Its a nice break to be away from all the top brass on days as they can be a little uptight.The night shift crew tends to be a little more laid back.

And btw,I just got my new passport in the mail.:)I had renewed it because I was to go to the virgin islands in may but cancelled when Fella got sick.Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a K9 Cushings trip one day!!We could travel around the world since we have members all throughout US,Canada,UK and NZ/Australia!

Enjoy your weekend-we are going into our 3rd week of temps in the 90's and humid...uggggghhh!!And we just lost power in my town so no AC!We are all dying here.I think Romeo is the only one who prob doesn't mind since he is a Georgia baby who is used to this heat!:).

Have a great weekend and hope you find some good toys for Flynn!
Love,
Patty
