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

Mike emailed me half of Flynny's results today, I knew it was going to be good news by the smiley face in the subject line.

His UPC is near normal... 0.63 so Tina Flynny has copied your Jasper!! I cannot believe it and feel so guilty posting good news with our Wonderful Woody crossing the bridge today. But I am crossing the kidney problems off the worry list for the time being. It has come down from a high of 3.88 in August... gotta love the ace inhibitors. Normal is <0.5

ALP has also dropped from 2224 pre liver resection to 1783 (0-185) but ALT has risen from 358 preop to 388 (0-75). Mike has said if we did not see good liver values we are not to panic as they could still be settling postop so we are just to wait and see what they are next month. But hooray for the ALP drop! All other liver tests within normal range. Renal and FBC not back yet.

Flynny is not home, I miss him. I knew I was out late tonight so he is having a sleepover with his Nana and Grandad. I will pick him up in the morning and give him a big old hug xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Fantastic news Trish. :) I am so please to hear some good news for a change. You still Rock Flynn. I,m sure he will be getting spoilt from his grandparents.

Thanks Tracy, your a sweetheart :)

Glad to get more good news for Flynn! :):)

woooo hooo Happy Dance-:D:D:D:D

The protein Pup Band made need a new branding;)

Let us all hope they stay this way, Zoe's was normal too.

Go Flynn:D:D:D:D

SO happy to hear good new about Flynn!

Flynny boy astounds me! Go Flynny, go Flynny!! Love it!!:D:D:D

It's hard when they aren't home to greet us, but he'll be in your arms soon. Xxxxx

Awww thank's everyone.... that UPC has never been that low over the past two years so I was stunned to read that!! I have mentioned the creatinine level part of this test previously, it had gone up in this latest test. This was the first pee of the morning so most concentrated and that I believe has made the difference. But the actual protein part was the lowest ever too. :D:D I am interested to see his renal tests when they come through. His serum creatinine has always been low, sometimes even under the lowest normal range.

Addy, with this good result I am wondering more about the benefit of the Prednisone. If bowel good and kidneys better then maybe we should hold off for time being. I am going to go ahead with the short course to help his itchies. So our plan is to get the allergy testing done in the New Year, see if he is allergic to anything... manage that and desensitise him. Then if that does not work or he relapses then consider it again. Sound good?

That report is a nice Christmas present for you Trish!! So happy to hear such good news about Flynn!! :D

What an awesome report for Flynn!! YIPPEEE! I'll take all the good news we can get on the forum these days. :) It's been a rough patch for sure, but things like this remind us all that we DO have successes too and it always comes down to the owners and vet teams that make it happen, working together. So wow, really wow!
Now on to recovery from your night out. Sounds like it was a real blast. I was laughing at your mention of the moon and woody. What a real tribute that moon was to our little guy. It reminded me of the time we were up in Quebec at some friends place, and had these long wooden steps to traverse from the beach back up to the top. (their house was below on the beach, so the trip back was a bit of a trial) and hubs sat down and was calculating distance to the moon or some such based on beauty of the moon (me) What is it about a big moon that makes us all stop and contemplate, especially if three sheets to the wind as they say. LOL

Have a good one, hope the shops weren't too crowded and dad was able to get some new shorts! :) your mum made me laugh too. Thanks for the chuckles

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
