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

Once again, I am so happy to hear this!!!! You did have an excellent team. Flynn is such a good boy.

Great news Trish!! What a sweet boy he is. Glad to hear he is doing so well, and hope you will be on your way home soon. Thinking about you guys!! Hugs from me and Jasper.

WOOOOHOOOO we are going home... well if the heavens do not conspire against us, a torrential downpour, thunder and lightning, the whole nine yards just struck grrrrr. So will wait for that to pass before venturing out :eek::eek:

His vet is happy with him this morning, they checked his BP but unfortunately the machine kept malfunctioning so it took ages, he had to lay on the metal table and I had not taken in his blankie like I usually do. So he started shaking and got worse and worse crying, anyway it was 180 which is higher than postop but better than preop. but they said he's obviously stressed and they want his local vet to check it next week when he takes out the stitches.

As for the tumour, it is not differentiated either malignant or not, he said because in vena cava there is possibility but because Flynn has most likely had it for 18mths and it has not killed him yet it is obviously slow growing so not to worry about metastases. They described the tumour as looking like one of those russian dolls, with the body in the adrenal and the head popping through into the vena cava if that makes sense. They were happy there was no other local extension. So I am not going to worry about that and we have got it ALL until proven otherwise :D

He had a good night, no more nausea, no more pooping yet though, but he slept well without a peep so I feel we are ok to go... YAY!!!!! Thanks for your posts, they continue to sustain us and really mean such a lot. xxxxxxxxxx

HOw excited!! Have a safe journey home & I look forward to more good reports.

WHOOTWHOOT!!!!! home sweet home bound!!!

I am just amazed!!!! Speechless!!!! So happy!!! I hope the rain has subsided and you are almost home. Pulling for a good poo though;). I am really happy to hear that there weren't any signs of metastases. Ah, sigh of relief. I would venture to say his BP is a little lower given his anxiety today. I just can't believe this little gland can cause so much havoc. It pretty much regulates everything. I just continue to send good vibes your way. You both deserve a reprieve from all of this. Continue to get well, Mr. Flynn!!!!!

Btw: you could always ask your vet to check his BP in the car before taking him inside to remove his sutures. I believe that is much more accurate. I have both of Chey's vets on board for that;)

Wow this is great news and already talking about the stitches coming out and all too. :) Very, very good that they don't think there is anything metastases to worry about too.

Sounds like a heck of a good day to me!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi all, we are home!

Poor Flynn is so tired, he is a bit shaky on his feet. He just did a small poop and I am sure that will help when his bowel gets back to normal. He hadn't been since he did one at the hospital two nights ago. Vet wants him low fat frequent protein meals over weekend, white fish and chicken. I think he needs his biscuits to give him some fibre but they just want to be careful re possible pancreatitis.

He has already had visitors, was a present waiting for him and a get well card in the mail from the girls at work, too cute.

We just had a snooze until my phone rang and woke me up... I was thinking grrr who ringing this early in the morning but it is 6pm at night haha. So a bit of recovery for us both i think!

Hello all

Jeepers was just feeding Flynn and turning on the computer and a earthquake struck... scary! Flynn did not think it big enough to halt his breakfast though haha. It was 5.8, but a fair way from me but still felt pretty big and everything was swinging and the tv nearly fell over!

Last year I had the misfortune to be in Christchurch for a work conference when the big earthquake hit there, nearly 200 people died in that quake and I was left homeless for the night with no money, phone (hint: never leave your purse etc in the conference room when you for lunch as you never know what will happen) and had to stay at a refugee camp they set up for the night before the air force flew us out the next day. I have grown up with earthquakes on our shaky islands, but this was in another league altogether and gave me a whole new perspective on how devastating they can be. So now sitting here with my cup of tea, on high alert! I am right by a beach as well so tsunamis always worry me following quakes... but this one was inland so no worries there. phew

Other than that, we have had an uneventful night... hope everyone has a good day :)

Shaky Trish and Flynny xx

Omg....that is scarey! I am glad you guys are ok. You guys don't need to deal with anything else at the moment. Your previous experience sounds awful.

Other than the earthquake, I am glad you and Flynn are doing well.
