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

Joining in with the happy dance for you and Flynn way to go :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

With so many happy dances going on, we'll appear a bit more unbalanced. ;):D thrilled that Flynny is being discharged today!! :D if my calculations are correct and they usually arent, he should be back with you about now. Soooooo happy! Be prepared for the stink eye!

Yes, stay out and try to get some rest before heading back. You have been through so much, while Flynny slept through it all!;) xxxxxxx

HI all

I'VE GOT HIM!! 42 hours post surgery he is well enough to come home, the little darling. He is much happier, but following me about if I move and he is obviously tired as his eyes droop as soon as he sits for any length of time. He has given a couple squeaks but nowhere near the crying he was doing. Dressings are all off, they like it left open to the air. I will have to watch him though as I don't want him to bother it. only one small dressing on paw where IV just came out and I can take that off soon. Wound looks nice and clean, tummy soft. Eating well.

I saw IMS Mark as IMS Mike is out of town for a clinic, he went through all his meds and is aftercare, he is available to me via phone if I need him. He said he would email me results when they come in, he said it could be this afternoon then I can discuss more fully when IMS Mike calls me from his clinic on Tuesday. They have biopsied:

• Liver Mass
• Margin of liver to check its clear
• Piece of normal liver to see if there is any separate disease in there too
• Another liver nodule in separate lobe - previously biopsied and benign
• Node by spleen, that had not grown over last year, previously biopsied and showed liver cells
• Kidney
• Duodenum and Jejunual small bowel biopsies

Also saw Dr McD! He is wonderful and he drew me detailed pics of what they found and all the ins and outs of the liver.

I came home with drugs, temgesic in syringes to squirt in his mouth as he needs it, cerenia, clavumox, and even a sedative to give him for the drive home to make it easier on him. Printed instructions on postop care... last night I even got an email from them with all that had happened through the day, including his operation record, apparently they email a daily update on their pets in the hospital to the owner and referring vet to keep everyone in the loop.

I gave them a huge carrot cake and box of chocs as I am so grateful for their care! They also gave me the bill :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I guess you get what you pay for and I think we have just experienced the best!!!!

Local Mike has put Flynny's picture of him kissing the cow on his vet clinics facebook page, so cute!!

I cannot believe this is done, what a whirlwind... from coming up for consultation to major surgery in the blink of an eye. It has all worked out the best for Flynn as it went so well, he would have hated to have to go all the way home then back again at later date.

Right back to the couch for me to sit by my boy while he snoozes the afternoon away, will see how he is in the morning before deciding when we will drive home. I am feeling surprisingly better now I have him back :D:D xxxxx

Yay he,s home, comfortable and where he should be next to his mama. I'm glad you have all the updates and are feeling better. Give Flynn gentle cuddles from me and Woody x

Awww, this is great news :) Rest well you two.

Yay Trish! This place sounds wonderful. :) I'm sure they were worth every penny too. LOL

That is great that Flynn-man is home with you and doing so well. Isn't he the best little guy ever :)

Wow, I'm so impressed with the whole team and how they came together to treat Flynn so quickly and so thoroughly.

So, when do you plan to drive home? Tomorrow or next day?

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

You will sleep tonight in bewteen watching him, your other half is home now.:):):)

Dont be in a hurry to head home, slow and easy for the two of you and take time to stop and kiss the cows:D:D

YAY! He's back in your loving arms where he belongs! I am so proud of your Trish. You are such a wonderful example to all of us. Xxxxxx

SO happy to hear Flynn is back with you Trish!! He will recover even faster now that is back by your side!! :D

It is amazing how this all transpired...just a whirlwind, but it could not have worked out better. What a fantastic hospital and staff!
Expensive but at least WORTH IT! What a great job they did! Flynn the wonder dog does it again!! Happy for you Trish, you made all the right choices!! ;)

Barbara
