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

I,m off to bed too, I can,t hang on my eyes are closing. Hope you have a lovely day Trish and its not too hot there :D

I'll be around tonight off and on. I'm in chill out mode. Hubs home in the morning.

Sleep well all and have fun Trish.

I am heading out, sorry to leave right now but will back in a few hours. Going with thoughts of Zoe and Addy xxxxxxxx

I am off to walk Boyce now, he has got up and decided it's time!

We won't be that long as we have the opposite problem to you, it's bloody freezing this morning.

Be back soon
Xx

Scarf and boots for you both then :D I am going to have some dinner, cannot live on chocolate alone! See you soon

Hey you two.

Trish, so relieved that the scan report is so good, but sorry you have to wait for further clarification regarding the absent right adrenal gland. I was missing in the line when patience was handed out also, absolutely no good with waiting.

Interesting about the cost of Benazepril versus Enalapril. Here it is the other way around. The cost of Enalapril has gone up significantly recently for my vet, so much so that they are not carrying it at the office anymore as of a couple of months ago. I priced it at my people pharmacy and it was very reasonable, so brought the script there. In fact, I was a little miffed that all this time I had been paying three times the price for it at my vets, and that was before the cost went up! It didn't ever occur to me to try to get it at a people pharmacy. :rolleyes: Benazepril is apparently much less costly here as my vets office still carries that. It will be great if you can decrease Flynn's dose.

How is he feeling tonight? I am wondering if that frozen hunk of lamb maybe upset his tummy? Had he ever had that before?

My IMS said we could get Enalopril as cheap as chips from people pharmacy too, so I am definitely going to look into that. I bought Milk thistle the other day but am worried it does not contain all the ingredients he is getting in the Samilyn, which is more like SAMe so I think I am going to bite the bullet and keep paying for the Samilyn and I will take the Mild Thistle as sounds a good thing!

I am a little upset about this whole adrenal thing on the scan, if it is a lymph node is it meant to be there? ARe they meant to be as big as an adrenal?? I have googled of course and they can be quite large and a dog adrenal is not that big around 1cm, so will just have to wait and hear what they tell me.

There was not actually much actual lamb, it is mainly bones, like ribs. His tummy was upset within 3-4hrs of eating it so dunno if that would have done that so fast? He seems better today, still no normal poop that I have seen.

How is Jasper doing?

No wonder you are upset about the adrenal thing, it's a question and you haven't had it answered so you can help but worry and wander. All these vets never seem to be at work when you need an answer. So blinking frustrating!

Yeah, stupid vets how dare they have a weekend :D

I don't blame you about being upset with the adrenal thing. I guess I don't completely understand how a lymph node could be mistaken for an adrenal gland on the scan. And I have already mentioned my shortcomings in the waiting department.

Yes, how dare they have a weekend! My vet mentioned that she is going to be on vacation the first week of March, which is when Jasper's labwork is due. How dare she!! :) So I will wait till the 2nd week of March.

Jasper seems to be doing ok, thanks. He is still sleeping quite a bit. :confused: I still need to post an update on his thread, that is on my lengthy to do list for the weekend. The mobile groomer is coming this morning for his bath and haircut, so I am sure he will be wiped out after that. I need to give him an extra dose of Dex to help with the stress from that.

Do you think Flynn ate bone fragments? I know my Dakota would frequently get stomach problems from bones, and even colitis. After that happened a couple of times, the vet said no more bones. Maybe that bothered him. I think the upset could come within 3-4 hours, it seems like sometimes it doesn't take long for that to occur. Is Flynn used to chewing on those bones?
