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

How is that Sweet baby boy today???

checking in here too. How is Flynn? How are you?
We're starting to get anxiety!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Aww thanks for checking in on us. His checkup with the vet last night was good, but pretty much straight after that he went off his food, not that I had been giving him a heck of a lot anyway. He slept fitfully, I gave him his shots as directed both for pain and to stop clotting. He had one good period where he slept close to 6hrs though, I only woke once in that time to hear him drinking water but he never touched his food overnight. He did a tiny loose poop when I took him out at 4am.

We have just been back for another checkup, his tummy is a bit more tense than it was last night. But he checked out good with temp, breath sounds, bowel sounds all good. His surgeon thinks he needs a good bowel motion, he is not overly tender in his abdomen but pancreatitis is at the back of his mind too.

Plus I think Flynn wants to go home... whenever i take him out he is reluctant to come back into the motel room.

So my instructions are:
continue pain management and I have more shots for him. No food till later today if he picks up, push fluids, he gave me a syringe and I have to get 60mls into him an hour (he probably only had 200mls at most since I had him home yesterday) but he just took 100mls via syringe much to his disgust! I have to call surgeon after lunch to let him know how he is doing and if no improvement in for more tests/IV. But we hope a good poop will clear it out!!!

So thats where we are,

Well there you have it. Come on gang, lets push good poop vibes towards Flynn.:p:p:p

hugs,
Molly Muffin (who wonders if her poop could count for Flynn)

hugs,
Sharlene (who told Molly her poop only counts for her, much to her disgust)

*hope you got a good snicker out of that one!

Sending good poop vibes your way>>>>>>>>>

HOpe you get to take your baby home soon.

We're all pulling for a good poop, Flynn. His body has been through so much and pain meds to boot.....hopefully that's all it is.

Hi Amy, Sharlene and Ro

He (and me) have just had a good nap for nearly 2hrs, I gave him (forced) another drink... poor boy but he is kinda lapping it up nicely which is good. Took him for a little walk... and nothing, well a little pee but thats not counting right now!!

But, I just made myself a sandwich for lunch and he was looking at it, like give me some then went and sniffed around the kitchen floor so anything i may have dropped! So hopefully a good sign. I did not give him any food to follow surgeons instructions. He is back in his bed now, so hopefully another nap. I really think he is a little over tired which is not helping. I took his wound dressing off as he had peed on it, so that can't be good for wound healing. He squealed a little as it peeled off :eek: But in the past even if he has a had a minor cut on his paw and I cover it he thinks he has had a leg amputated, so he might be more comfy with the dressing off.

Will keep you posted :)

ps Amy, I cannot open that link you posted.. it said content blocked!! :)

Eek, he just vomited and it contained food he had eaten last night. I just rang the surgeon, he thinks his tummy might settle now he has got rid of that.

But I have to keep giving him the fluids and ring back in 90mins, he wants to see him and give anti nausea injection and maybe keep him in for the night depending on how he is. But he would prefer he stays with me to keep him calmer so we are to continue with these supportive measures and it is most likely normal post op stuff. Stay away pancreatitis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting worried now :(:(

Maybe he will feel better now, dont worry about pancreatitis yet. You just have to get through tonight. Tell yourself that. It will be okay.
