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

Trish..
I am going to hold my breath until November has come & gone for mr Flynn. He is such a strong guy! I hope he is feeling good today & you get some answers soon to get rid of some of the anxiety you must be feeling.

big hugs to you & Flynn!

Okay Trish, No November for you! You are skipping it this year! I'm sorry I have been absent of late. Work has been crazy and I have been totally exhausted. I have been reading daily, but haven't gotten around to posting for the last few days.:o

The dog I grew up with that resembles Flynny, twitched like that when he slept also. It is probably nothing but a weird coincidence.

An ultra-sound is always the best bang for the buck. Please let us know as soon as you know anything.

Hugs to you my dear and a belly rub from my pal Flynny. Xxxxx

Hello everyone!!

Yep, I think we should cancel November this year, lets jump straight to Christmas :D

Now, I have had a good talk to our vet, he said they had changed the external lab they use as they had a few issues. So he said that can cause a few discrepancies. Also a one-off rise like that coupled with his ALT going down he was not too concerned at this stage and we shall do another one to see what it is trending like. He has ordered me SAMe so we will be starting that when it arrives.

He agreed though to ring and book him in for his 6 monthly ultrasound and review by our IMS. So I did, she is off clinics at the moment doing some exams with the vet students :mad:. The receptionist said we could see someone else and that turned out to be a new resident who was having supervision, I asked to see the supervisor but no :mad: So I said OK am going to talk to my own vet again and the receptionist is going to find out exactly when our IMS will be back in the office.

Today my vet said that it should be ok to wait 3-4 weeks and I have suggested repeating his full liver panel to see how it is going. We both think just because Flynny is not an easy dog to treat that it would be best if we had our own IMS who is excellent and knows all the in's and out's of Flynn very well rather than inflict us on a newbie .

Flynn is much better the last few days since I took him off the z/d and also stopped the Tramadol. :D He is back to his perky self. Poops good, no mucous, itchies still there a little but much better.

Sooo... tomorrow I will hopefully hear from Pet Hospital about IMS and I will see what our local says about repeating liver tests now. If liver tests have come back down as I suspect/hope then I think we can wait, if they are shooting up higher then I will take him down now and at least get the scan done.

Thanks for checking in on us, nice to see you all and lovely to see you Mel!! xxx

I'm good with skipping November, January, February, and March :)

Awww but that's all of summer Valerie!! No can do :D:D you want to keep December though :)

Stick with your own IMS Trish. No newbie for my Flynny boy. ;) how dare that doc taking off with vet students! :eek:

I am glad to hear that Flynny's itchiness are better.:D He must be thrilled to get his yummy food back.;)

You are such a wonderful fur mom Trish and yes, one of my angels. :) xxxxxx

Your up late Kathy, hope your not having trouble sleeping as sounds like you need it with your busy days.

Definitely want our own IMS, just a little torn about wanting him seen yesterday haha, you know how it is. But with Flynn feeling better I am more relaxed about waiting, so hopefully we hear she will be back soon!

Zoe can do fine on a low dose of Tramadol at night before bed, it really helps her legs but if I give it for too long every nite she develops balance problems. Her head tremors seemed to be after waking up but not sure if I am remembering correctly in my stress brain fog:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I'm for skipping all the way to the end of January because that is how long it will be before it is light out again when I get home from work:eek: Gimme light, she cried!!!!!:p:p:p:p


Your vet seems spot on as usual, Trish. I know Flynn is in good hands between you and your super vet. Have you figured out how to clone him and send the clone to me?

hugs

What's November? :confused::confused: If today is October 30, that makes tomorrow October 31 and friday October 32, Saturday October 33 etc.

Doesn't everyone know the rhyme? 30 days have September, April and June, all the rest have 31 except february which has 28 and October which has 61? I'm sure that's what I was taught at school :p:p:D

And Trish, if you do end up seeing the intern IMS, just think of it as a bit of sport :D

I totally agree that sticking with the IMS who knows Flynn already is the best bet. He's not an Easy case to just jump into without that pertinent historical knowledge. You can read it sure, but the regular IMS Knows it. Big dif.

hmm, well, new external lab eh. That can make things interesting. I'd repeat too. When are you going to do the repeat of the liver values?

You're going to want to repeat those in about 3 months probably anyhow, to see if the SamE is having any positive on that. Although with the liver support molly is on, it took quite a long while to see a change in the numbers, and it wasn't much, but every bit helps. Even if numbers don't drop so much, I'd think that the over all benefit would be good.

Well, we're heading into November and we're just going to have this one be a real good one this year.

Good luck on your trip (crossing fingers for smooth sailing this time!)

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly muffin
