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

I loved the video! Flynn looks absolutely wonderful! So happy! God Bless.

I want some of whatever you are giving our wonder boy! xxxx

Flynn looks to be doing so well! What a good boy he is too, paying attention when you call him. He has a good gait for a dog that just went through a major surgery.

That is a really great area that you live in, so close to the path for some nice walks. Not a real fan of that who tsunami thing though. We should just cross that off the list of things to be experienced. :)

hugs,

Awww thanks everyone, I think he is doing good too. He has been pretty perky the last few days which I am happy to see!

It is time to book him in for his monthly checkup's, bloods - I am very keen to see what his liver tests are like now, plus UPC and BP. I have been kinda putting it off as poor Flynn has had enough of vets to last a lifetime and he is going to be put on the Prednisone. If it does awful things to him I am going to be so upset but I have been looking at pro's and con's
Pro's
Hopefully settle down IBD inflammatory/allergy responses
Help kidneys
Stop the itching if due to allergy
It is only temporary and Mike already has his plan to wean down dosage

Con's
Side effects from drugs like Cushings :eek: which he can do without.

I need to have another good talk with Mike and ask about the Bedenoside that Addy mentioned. Plus look into allergy testing.

So that's where we are, between a rock and a hard place, still others have it worse than us but no one likes to see their doggie suffer and hopefully it will make him loads happier!!!! xxxxx

Trish - My bridge baby Bruno (JRT cross) took Bednoside for his chronic IBD, he did really well on it, to be honest it was the only thing that help and I tried everything and I mean everything. From memory he didn,t have too many side effects, he did start to drink a little more but not excessive and it was better on his tummy than the Pred was. By the sounds of it Flynn won,t need to be on it long so I would ask Mike about it, it also helped Bruno,s skin he was allergic to so many things when tested the specialist called him and "environmental dog" as in allergic to the environment lol.

It will be interesting to read his blood results after the surgery in the hope that the surgery has helped with his BP.

I loved the video. My but he's gentle. Keesh would have ripped right into them in seconds. Loved it.

Mum told me tonight that Christmas Dinner this year is going to be lamb, as that is what Flynny is allowed to eat at the moment on his novel protein diet and she wants him to be able to share in the feast :) Brought a tear to my eye (I am very pleased we have not progressed to anything like kangaroo!) What a lovely Mum I have, it was her birthday yesterday and I spoiled her because she deserves it :) 79 and still going strong!

Flynn is all booked in at the vet's for his checkup on Thursday. xxxx

That's so sweet of your mum to include Flynn Woody always gets his own Christmas dinner too all cooked by mum.

Fingers crossed all blood work is good x

Their GrandDogs are very special to them both eh Tracy, aren't we lucky to have them in our lives still :):)

That brought a tear to my eye as well, how sweet and touching of your mom.:):):)

Grand pups are special;) and we all knoiw how special our boy is anyway:D:D:D:D

Happy Ho ho ho
