Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hi everyone!
Thanks for the posts my lovelies!! We are ticking along, waiting impatiently for spring to arrive, although there are a ton of lambs in the paddocks and daffodils everywhere so it is on its way... HURRAY!! :D:D
Flynny is OK, lovely days during the week but now it's the weekend and it poured all day long yesterday AND still going today :mad::mad: time for the raincoats and to get out I think! Flynn is just a bit slower than usual, walking a lot instead of trotting about. I have been trying to cut down his tramadol drops, he is down to 7.5mg now twice a day which is a tiny dose for his size. I cannot remember who's thread it was on about getting them into their dog, I just put the drops on his meat, mix it in and he seems to gobble it down no problem. Just make sure you give it when you know he will eat it all so he gets the whole dose. So maybe his arthritic aches and pains are bothering him. He is due his Pentosan injection so much ring the vet now and go pick it up and give it to try keep on top of that. Otherwise all good in the eating, pooping, mouth ulcer departments :D:D
Thanks for checking in on us! xxxxx

Hi Trish,
Belly rubs for my boy's achy little body. It's been a long time since we had a chance to chat. Too much Candy Crushing, I Suppose!:D
Seriously Trish,
Thank you so much for talking me through many sad, sleepless nights. You will always hold a special place in my heart and Flynny is naturally charismatic.:):D xxxxx

Here is Flynn in all his dirty glory on our walk this afternoon, I was trying to get him running but failed miserably :D so here he is grubby and pretty much standing still!
I think his slowness was due to boredom of staying inside in the rain, once we were up the beach he perked up and has been good since :D:D He rolled in something, I could not see what as he was too far away! Picked up his Pentosan injection and gave it this afternoon so hopefully by giving that regularly each month we can get his aches and pains under control and get him off the Tramadol.

Shame on you for for embarrassing that angel Flynny boy! He was doing what tough guys do. Rolling in the muck!! LOL:D I'm glad that he's not hurting.;):) LOL

Great to see that video. What a sweetie. It could have been me that said I was having difficulty getting meds into Keesh. He won't take anything from my hand anymore and he's so bad that he won't take even treats from me in the kitchen as he figures that's the roome where the bad stuff comes from. They are too funny sometimes.
Flynn looks great and I fell in love as soon as I saw his face.
Side note about Candy Crush. I couldn't get past level 4 and wouldn't pay to play the game. I deleted my accounts - LOL

Hi guys! Awwww sorry I missed you all. I was watching the movie Django, pretty good, bit (actually a LOT!) bloodthirsty though!
He did not need a shower, it was just a bit of dirt that brushed off when he was dry thank goodness. He was wet though, lucky I took his raincoat to keep him partially dry and clean!
I think I have been lucky with him and meds, I just wrap the pills in a piece of his venison and he swallows it whole I think! Then mix the Metamucil in bit of water add that to the meat, pop his tramadol drops on top mix it in... I put it in about a half serve of his meat it is a bit soupy with the water but he gobbles/drinks his venison soup mix then I give him the rest of the meat and some biscuits. Seems to work for him.
He did not like Django with all the gunshots and took himself to bed about an hour ago, I can hear him in there having a doggy dream... little yip yip yips!! I love it when I hear that and always wonder what he is dreaming about!

Hey Trish
We are online together woo hoo!
Love he took himself to bed, Boyce does that too, I always wonder what the doggie dreams are about. Tia would wag her tail so I always assumed food :D

I agree, it is either chasing things, or a nice big fat red juicy steak!
