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

Well that sounds like a good report and I am so glad the weight lose is from food quantity. I sure hope the pill helps our little boy with those dang fleas. I wonder if it kills ticks, I'm going to look it up. Otherwise we both may have to get bubble wrap.:D:D

Enjoy your Tuesday night!!!:):):):)

Just in case ya'll didn't know - fleas leave a "dirt" on the body. You may not see the actual flea but the dirt is easily seen. Here are some pics of flea dirt on dogs -

OMG Leslie, those photos made me itch just looking at them :eek::eek: those poor dogs. Luckily Flynny is nothing like that, he has no flea dirt on him thank goodness.

I have given him the Conformis 45 mins ago with his breakfast. It is meant to be chewable, but he did not want to chew it!! I put it in his breakfast and he managed to pick everything out apart from the pill, so then I just poked it in a bit of his z/d and he gulped it down. No reaction so far. He is asleep, I put him on the couch in his spot on and put a big white sheet over his blankies so I can spot any flea that drops off him. So finger's crossed. It's back to raining and cold today so he is quite happy to snooze for now - typical Spring weather it can't make up its mind what to do :p I have put a photo up of him undergoing this torturous flea treatment!!

I read the insert Addy, unfortunately no mention of controlling ticks on there

xx

That picture is just soooo adorable!! It might even be one of my all time favorites of Flynn.

Any signs of dropping fleas yet? Maybe he doesn't really have that many, even one can probably aggravate him really badly. (would me) LOL

Leslie, ick! I know that flea dirt though, from other animals I've had and flea infestations encountered. Not fun or easy to get rid of.

hugs, have a good day! rain = snuggle time

yuck a muck on the flea dirt:eek::eek::eek::eek:

I know Flynn doesnt have that:):):):)

Thanks for checking, I looked it up online too. So far so good with Tick Boy though, must be his new furfume spray:rolleyes::rolleyes:
Or the fact that it is freezing out:p:p:p never a dull moment at Addy's house:D:D:D:D Someone asked me that once- do I ever have a dull moment I said not so much.;););)

Happy Wednesday for you!!!!:D:D:D:D

Well Flynn slept on his white sheet a couple of hours after his Comfortis yesterday, two small fleas came off him! No side effects that I could see, he has scratched a couple of times but not badly, so fingers crossed this does the trick. He was very perky yesterday, we had a lunch and doggy play date with his friend Cooper and he wrestled that young pup good! No biting, just playing :D

Flea guy came this morning, he does not see any sign of flea infestation and does not think spraying outside will help. He said the flea bombs inside that I used only kill the adult fleas, not the larvae which could still be in carpet. He said if in another couple of weeks Flynn is still scratching he would spray inside and his stuff does kill them all. We also have to look at Mum and Dad's as he is there a good part of his day too. Most of them catch them from animals, like a cat coming through, or the cat sleeping outside somewhere and Flynny picks it up from there.

No results as yet... hopefully today!

Oh goodness poor Flynn, sending hugs and prayers..

So it seems that Flynn has a strong reaction to any flea bite, and while he isn't invested, even two on him is enough to get him going (itch mania - Sounds like a rock band..hmmm) anyway, hopefully it won't be a bad flea summer and this stuff you gave him does seem to work. How often can or do you give that?

Hope your week is quite enjoyable. I took a vacation today, my last use or lose of the fiscal year and enjoyed some retail therapy. :) LOL

hugs,

Hey Trish, Glad there is signs of progress with Flynn's itches (if you can call seeing dead fleas signs of progress :o)

Hope everything else is going well and you are enjoying your time off!

Hi Sharlene

I did the retail therapy thing too yesterday :D:D loads of sales on here with our anniversary weekend. I left Flynny at Mum and Dads while I went to the shops and he is itching more again arghhh it is doing my head in!! I really think I need to get the pest people around there now :confused: He went totally off the z/d and I could not get enough into him and he was losing weight so he is back on his venison although I think a trip to the pet store is in order today and I will put him onto a different protein as the itching has started together with the diet change as well so who knows!

I had to rush Devil Cat Elle to the vets a couple days ago, her little chin (and it is a pointy Siamese chin) was suddenly very swollen, then within another half hour her throat looked to be swelling. She looked like a FrankenCat :eek: No trouble breathing that I could see and she was running about, but there are a load of bees in their garden at the moment so I think she was stung, although I could not see a stinger. The vet gave her antihistamine, steroid, antibiotic and it settled down and was back to normal overnight. He thought it could be bee, spider bite or even maybe she had been in a fight and had cellulitis develop. The funny thing was when Flynn turned his nose up at his z/d lunch that day she had scoffed some down, I thought maybe she reacted to that but Vet thought it would be very unusual for her to have an allergic reaction to anti allergenic food!!!

Hi Naomi and Letti - so nice to see you popping in here!! Missed you x

Still no results, maybe he has the long weekend off :( xx
