Re: 11 y/o Foxie cross - adrenal tumor, Pheochromocytoma? - possible surgery
is he allowed any warmed pumpkin? though lately that hasnt even helped my little pooh.
Ugh pancreatitis........lets hope flynn stays away from that!!! maybe it is upset from all the surgery and such.
Re: 11 y/o Foxie cross - adrenal tumor, Pheochromocytoma? - possible surgery
nausea, not eating except for little bits, no good poops, it can certainly cause an upset tummy on it's own.
Just keep an eye out, keep in touch with the vet, and we'll hope its nothing serious.

Re: 11 y/o Foxie cross - adrenal tumor, Pheochromocytoma? - possible surgery
He seems ok, just trotting around outside. I have given him more water and it has stayed down so far. No poop yet. I am wondering if it is the pain relief causing it too. Have to ring him surgeon in an hour and let him know how he is and also he wants to see him later too. Gawd these dogs are such a worry :eek:
While I was just outside, a woman and her dog moved into the room next to ours. Her dog is a gorgeous big black one... ?? breed, like a black golden retriever, he does agility. They drove down this morning, about 6hrs so much further than us. He has just been into the university for a scan and it turns out our surgeon is doing a partial pancreas removal for a tumour on him tomorrow. She is on her own too, so maybe I can keep her company during those nervous hours. If we are still here of course, I think we might be though.
So now Flynn has company next door, for the night anyway... they sniffed noses and sat down next to each other. There is also a black lab, resident at the motel, Jessie is her name very friendly she is too. She comes right into the room if I leave the door open, she ate Flynn's food this morning :D. Least it didn't go to waste, because Flynny sure wasn't interested in it! This motel is lovely, the owner brought me over a beautiful big vase of roses and also invited me to share dinner with her, but I wanted to keep Flynn quiet last night and obviously to stay with him so I had to decline. But aren't some people are so very kind, kinda like all of you :)
Re: 11 y/o Foxie cross - adrenal tumor, Pheochromocytoma? - possible surgery
Just to clarify, he is not trotting about outside on his own!! That last post sounded like I just let him loose :eek: It is more a walk than a trot, he is on his leash!

I am not giving him anymore food till he see's the vet. It is funny his appetite looked like it was coming back this afternoon, I did give him a wee bit of chicken as surgeon said I should and he was hungry and ate it but about hour after that we vomited. It looked like old food from last night, not the chicken he just ate. That's weird. So hoping his is just normal tummy upset from having your gut pushed about during surgery.
Re: 11 y/o Foxie cross - adrenal tumor, Pheochromocytoma? - possible surgery
Oh good, so he probably just had an upset tummy. Oh yes, pain meds can definitely cause a person to bind up, probably a dog too. Ask the vet about that?
That is lovely Trish. It sounds like you are in a very nice hotel for your stay with good companions.
I can't think of anyone to keep company with while going through a doggie surgery than you who have just been there, done that. You've got a wonderful heart Trish. :)

Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Re: 11 y/o Foxie cross - adrenal tumor, Pheochromocytoma? - possible surgery
i think my little girl is having sympathy pains for your little one. she has not poohed all day.
she is obviously uncomfortable and looks like she wants to go but wont. She was off her probiotic for couple of days....have it auto shipped to me so i wont run out............it was back ordered. (grrrrrrr) maybe that is part of it.....? and the evil cone.
so maybe she is holding out till flynn goes. lol
Re: 11 y/o Foxie cross - adrenal tumor, Pheochromocytoma? - possible surgery
Oh no, we can't have all their bowels going on strike at the same time!!! I think they should have a poopathon! But poor Shysie, cone off day tomorrow YAY!!
Re: 11 y/o Foxie cross - adrenal tumor, Pheochromocytoma? - possible surgery
Sounds like a great place to stay.
I sure hope Flynn is ok. I will be checking during my lunch hour tomorrow. Hopefully, he got it out of his system and his belly will be better now. Poor lil guy. I know you could use a sigh of relief too, Trish.
Hugs,
Ro
