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

So glad to hear that Flynn had a good night and you too!

Do let us know when you get home and how the drive went. Hopefully he'll just settle and that will be that. He'll sleep most the way hopefully.

hugs,

Hi

We are home, it was a good trip and Flynn did really well. I did not give him the sedative after all. I stopped a few times for him and he was all happy thinking he was off for a walk. I cannot believe how good he is compared with the adrenalectomy!

When we got home, I lifted him out the car, soon as he got down he trotted around the house to check everything out, did a pee, came in had a drink then went to his toy box, picked out his fave and had a chew! :D

I think it is going to be hard to keep him quiet for his 10 days of no running, jumping or stairs as per our instructions. He has nibbled the knot off one of his sutures the little bugger. I had actually noticed one of had long ends on it when he first got home, it must have poked him a bit so he has got rid of the knot and is leaving it alone now - he must have done it overnight as I have been watching him like a hawk. Might have to take him in to see Local Mike tomorrow to get it retied, he does not need to be resutured as it is still going under the skin properlyand the wound is sealed but it is only Day 3 so I would like it to be secure. If I had a pair of forceps I could probably fix it myself. He has never bothered his tummy wounds before so now that annoying bit is gone he is fine!

I am so pooped, will be an early night I think. Thanks for checking on us guys.... I am not going to get all sappy again but you know how much I thank you for your support xxxxxx

So glad it all went well and with no sedation. I would need one for a 6 Hour drive!:eek: You'll probably both rest so much better being home in your own beds.

We will always be here to support you and our boy and I don't mind sappy.;) get some rest sweetie. You deserve it. Xxxxx

Yes you probably would need a sedative with my driving :D:D:D

Yay! Glad to hear that you are home and that Flynn is doing good. Wow, no sedation, that is great. What a good boy!
Well, that little stinker, taking the knot off. Yes I can see where you would want it to be tight so as not to come apart. If he's going to be chomping at the bit to do his regular things, then it's going to be hard on the wound I think. (might want to hold on to that sedation, either Flynn or you might end up needing it if he decides he wants to run around. ROFL! (sorry just teasing, he'll be good, really) :)

Get some rest and have a lovely Sunday. Mum and dad been over yet? or are they popping by tomorrow?

Yes, they have seen him already. They did dinner for us and they were a little teary eyed when they saw him. Obviously they had not expected or prepared for his surgery and I think they thought if he had not made it they never got to say goodbye to him. So they were delighted to see him looking so good and made a huge fuss of him :)

I was just outside watering the garden which has grown heaps in just a week! Lovely Dad had popped in and done my lawns and watered through the week so at least it was not too parched. Flynny came out and pottered too. He just seems to have more energy and I notice the whites of his eyes are not pink in the evenings anymore. A man and his two dogs walk past every night on their way to the park and if Flynn spots them he usually gives them a curry up! Tonight when he saw them he went to bark and it came out like "arr arrr arrr" :eek: he is hoarse, man I cracked up it sounded so funny. Be all that crying in the hospital and no doubt his endotracheal tube during surgery will have caused it. I am sure his WOOF will be back soon though :D

Morning :D

Glad to read you are both home safe.

Good that mum and dad have already been over to see him, they must have been so relieved to have you both home safe :D

So pleased he seems to be looking and feeling good, makes all the stress you went through this week worthwhile. Must be nice just to be both back in your house where you belong :D

Bless him with his bark, he must have thought what the heck, where is it? He must have worn his little voice out!

Hi Mel, he did look a little shocked at the funny noise that came out :D was cute though.

He is curled up on the floor on a pile of blankies, looking quite comfortable. I have given him temgesic again tonight. Will see how he is in the morning and if he looks good I might just give it to him at night so that he gets a good sleep for another couple of nights. Ror sure, I am looking forward to my own bed tonight just making a cup of tea to have then will be hitting the hay.

Well we had rugby last weekend Mel, now this weekend NZ play England at league! Won't be getting up for that one though :) What's on your plan for today?

I am sure it felt like you were holding your breath the whole time so it must be a great feeling both being home, seeing the little man al snuggled up where he belongs

Am sure in a few days he will find his voice, poor little fella must have let them know he wasn't impressed at being there. Am wondering if he actually feels better, he must do with that thing gone!

I can hear my boy dreaming, he is in the hall on his blanket by the radiator as its too cold for him, chatting away he is, I always wonder what they dream about!

Lazy day today!! Remote Christmas shopping/ planning as its also too cold out for me. Will be seeing the kids tomorrow.

You taking some more time next week or is it back to work on Monday?

So glad to come on here in the wee hours and read that you are home safe and Flynn is doing so well.

Seems he's almost settled right back in where he knows he belongs.

Goes without saying that I'll bet you're glad this is all behind you now, and in a couple of weeks, Flynn will be totally normal.

You've been through a lot and so glad you had the support of family and of course members on here.

Nothing but good things ahead.... YOU SHOWED EM FLYNN!!!!
