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

I have him home (motel), they are very pleased with how he perked up overnight. He just did another albeit small poop when I got him back here. He has been drinking already and he is definitely hungry. But they said to just give him small bits of chicken frequently today. I have to call them later this afternoon with progress report, they will see him if they need to but they definitely want to see him tomorrow morning. If he has a good 24hrs we can go home after his checkup tomorrow. :D:D:D:D I have anti nausea injection for him later today. He is off the pain relief injections too, as that could have been contributing and just on non steroidal now, but he seems fairly comfortable.

So after a little explore about here, he hopped back in his bed eyes tight shut probably catching up on his rest after a traumatic night in the hospital!

As always thx for your support, couldn't do this without you guys xx

so nice to read this....i have been following your story.hope your baby is well soon....patty and milo:)

So happy to hear this! Pain meds are needed, but can be evil too. I hope, hope, hope that is all it was. He is such a trooper and so are you, Trish! I am sure it will be nice to get home. Sill pulling for you, Flynn:D:D:D

Yay! I know he feels better to be with you and you feel better to have him with you. :)

Keep up the good healing Flynn

hugs, Sharlene and Molly Muffin

If pancreatitis is confirmed, several small low-fat meals given throughout the day is best. Also, boiled rice, cooked to the consistency of a soupy-mushy mixture, can be added to the chicken for his meal.

So happy to read that Flynn is feeling better and is in the comfort of your loving arms.

After such a sad day we need some good news

Go Flynn we are all cheering you on to get better.

Hi all

Flynny has slept the day away, just what he needed. He is still hungry which is good, I wish he would drink a little more but is doing OK there too. He is still a little shaky and slow but he has also gone off his pain relief too.

I just spoke to the vet and they are happy he does not need his 5pm visit to the pet hospital based on my report! Eek first time he has not been back all week! They have been so good with support, both seeing him so regularly and also availability on phone. The are not on call tonight either, but the resident who is a few years through her surgeon in training programme and works with my Dr is ringing back with a cellphone number so I can contact them in case I have concerns. I could not ask for more really, such a great team and my security blanket! I will miss them when we go home. (I better get her email :D)

His histology is back and it was definitely a pheochromocytoma so now that it is gone, hopefully everything will normalise, BP etc! I need to talk more to the surgeon tomorrow about this. But when I first discussed the surgery he was happy they got it all.

Back at 8am and if Flynn behaves himself overnight, home we go :D:D

Have a good sleep everyone xx

I absolutely am amazed at how well Flynn has been during his recovery. It's just wonderful! That is an awesome group at that hospital. I wish that every hospital had that good of staff and dedication for follow up and experienced surgeons.
I hope this continues and he has an uneventful full recovery in no time at all.

hugs,
Sharlene

He has really been blessed with the care he has received Sharlene, I am so very thankful. This morning when I picked him up, we were talking about what to feed him today, the resident was with us and she suggested to give him small frequent chicken at this stage. I said, I will have to pop into the supermarket on the way back to motel and pick up more as I want it to be fresh. She said hang on there, disappeared and came back with a takeout container of fresh cooked chicken for him! She got a piece out for him, got him to sit, which he did beautifully, offered him a piece which he took so very gently out of her hand (phew, as he can be a bit quick if hungry :D) then she just held out her hand towards him, palm up, she did not say anything to him and he just lifted his paw and placed it on her palm and left it there. It was like he was saying thank you to her. I have never taught him to do that, well he does shake hands but not like that. I had a wee tear it was so sweet. xx

awwww, that is so sweet, I have a bit of a wee tear too!!!!!!!!

I am sure he will continue to do well, Trish, he has wonderful doctors and an AMAZING mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D
I am hoping for a good Thursday report.
