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

HI
Thanks for comments Marianne. His urine is not usually dilute, up until this latest one his specific gravity has ranged between 1.036 - 1.055 with no trending down at all, apart from the latest one which was 1.019 but it was not a first catch and was after he had eaten and drunk.

My concern is just the downward trending of the urinary creatinine coupled with consistent low serum creatinine. It seems weird we are concerned about too low creatinine when too high is usually the concern with pups with renal problems!

But it never seems to be as simple as that with Flynn and his liver has also been a concern as you know and low creatinine values can be an indicator of worsening liver function which is where these numbers concern me. My vet is not too bothered by it at this stage and was very pleased with the low protein. Will see what these latest liver tests turn up. Thx :)

Naomi, glad you like Pahia, I am quite looking forward to it. The pirate dinner starts off with a harbour cruise and they drop us off at a restaurant for dinner. So that I what I will be doing Thursday night!!

Hi Trish,
Catching up on posts here...just wanted to say hi to you and Flynn. Don't think I have a grasp on the tests involving the creatinine but I'll just say I hope Flynn is doing fine!! ;)

Barbara:D

Well it's Guy Fawkes night here... Nov 5th, it is in memory of Mr Fawkes trying to blow up the British Parliament a few centuries back! Fireworks are the go, it is just getting dark and it sounds like we are under a bomb attack with explosions every few seconds :eek::eek: Anyone can buy them for a short 3 day period but we are assured of plenty of bangs and crashes for the next few weeks in the back yards of the neighbourhood. I hate to think how much money is going up in smoke out there! Living close to the beach means there are a ton of people up there lighting bonfires and letting off their crackers.. it is bedlam!! Poor pets will be traumatised up and down the country so hope they are all inside with the TV up loud and the curtains drawn like we are :) They do not bother Flynn, he takes it in his stride and had a bit of a bark at them before but is now tucked up on the couch. Poor Emergency Services will be out in force and the ED will be seeing the results of burns etc. Every year there is talk of banning it, but they have just succeeding in shortening the time period they are allowed to be on sale. They are pretty though!

What has upset Flynny tonight is that I have just taken out my bag to pack for my trip, I always leave it to the last minute as he knows what that means! So now he is in a funk :( I have spent some time tonight going over his meds with Mum and I drop him off at 7am. So fingers crossed all goes well there! The weather is meant to be atrocious for the time I am up there which sucks, the pirate cruise might be a bit of a washout! Mum said she heard there might even be thunderstorms/tornados... I just thought "blardy typical conference time is here, so there is bound to be some sort of disaster!" We do not get severe tornados like those in US but get the occasional little one. Mum also said if my boat goes down, best I take off the pirate boots quick smart as they will suck me under... always full of good advice is my Mum!! :D

No results yet, taking my ipad so hopefully he will email me them tomorrow although I think he is coming up to days off... he works 10 then 4 off usually. Flynny is good though so maybe if there is bad news best to wait till I get back as nothing much I can do up there. xxxx

ROFL Your mom cracks me up all the time with the things she comes up with to say. What a hoot!!

Well, drat, was hoping you'd get the results today from those tests.

Have a good trip, try not to get sucked under any water or sucked Up in any tornados while you are there. Sorry to say but your track record..... things just sort of happen. LOL Might need a quickee up date while you are there from the ipad, something like, feet still on the ground should do it.

Seriously, have fun, rain, thunderstorms, whatever, just have a blast.

hugs,

Alp worse now 2224, bile acid test was normal

Sorry on phone and at conference dinner! Waiting yo hear plan from vet

Hope everything is ok and you get to enjoy your trip.

I think the ultrasound needs to be done. Check the liver gall bladder and other organs.

Oh, Trish! I am looking at some photos of vanishing tribes from around the world and the Maori of New Zealand are pictured. They are beautiful!

The link to the vanishing tribes photos. I was in tears by the time I finished looking at them and totally understand the emotion depicted in the final photo.
