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

ohhh, sparkly clean Flynn! Molly needs a bath too. She also needs detangler, as soon as the hair starts to grow longer, we go into never ending battles between me and her long hair. Can you imagine wrapping a long haired flynn in a towel for 10 minutes!!! hahahaha

Okay off to cook dinner!

Trish, so glad Flynn is feeling better! and a B*th Oh my! hehe I bet he looks and smells wonderful.

Good morning!! Grey old Sunday here, cool too :rolleyes:

We had a good day yesterday and I have been up bright and early baking!! Just made my best banana cake EVER in my new mixer and have peanut brownies in the oven now. The cake is for the nurses looking after Dad so well. My brother is coming up today from Wellington to see Dad and have a night with Mum. So will be good to see him.

Flynn seems a bit stiff, I have been noticing it more lately... kind of lifts his back leg a bit too long when he is walking. I think it is his arthritis now the weather is cooling down he is feeling it more. So will get him a dose of Pentosan this week, he has not had any since before his surgery in November. I gave him half a Previcox this morning. He did not come running when I made his breakfast, I had to take it over to him. Once he started eating though he liked it and was hungry and scoffed the lot.

Oh a grey Sunday, does that mean the sun isn't too hot lol. We are currently having another storm and have no electricity a tree must be down somewhere, so I'm reading by torch light ha.

What's going on with the wee man this just won't do Flynn :eek: hopefully it is just a touch of arthritis, with the change in temps. He needs to be running around all better soon, as I need my daily smile when I read about him :D

So the mixer present has been hit then the bread sounds yummy. I've done something stupid well I'm not sure if it is I've agreed to take Mac for a month next week whilst my mate goes to her holiday home in Tenerife. Now I don't really agree with them leaving him with a pet sitter for a month like they usually do, but the pet sitter has let them down and they were going to put him in kennels and I couldn't have that as he wouldn't cope so he's coming here gulp. He is a sweet dog but I'm not ready to have any dog here, I feel like I'm betraying Woody stupid I know but it's done now, just need to get my head round it :confused:

Hope to catch up with you and Mel soon xx

hmmm, yummy Banana cake. Love it!
Peanut brownies? is that like chocolate brownies with peanuts? I've made chocolate with walnuts. Also, blonde brownies with pecans.

Oh poor Flynn. :( Cooler weather can make those joints act up. You think it was just the aches and pains that made him not get out of bed this morning?

Hope you and Flynn both had a good day. What luck getting to spend some time with your brother too.

hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin

Sunny Sunday here...not a cloud in the sky.....but the moon was up in the early afternoon.....weird! My joints were acting up too. We got up to 80 degrees today. I like that!

I hope Flynn and Dad continue to improve.

Please send brownies!

Hi all

Flynny is still a bit up and down in the mornings... today he was up so we will take that :D:D !! Walking slow continues, especially in the morning. Mike just rang again now and we are putting him back on the Pentosan for arthritis and I have to give him a jab a week for 4 weeks then back to monthly over winter. He did not seem to need it over summer but now it is definitely cooler overnight and in the mornings, so Mike thinks it might be acting up. Also giving him half a Previcox for the next 10 days. If that does not perk him up then we will do the Prednisone.

I said arthritis would not make him nauseous and vomit though and I would have to say IBD only slightly flaring ie bit of nausea in the morning, one vomit, soft poops but not diarrhea. Itchy still. He also thinks this might be due to stress, as I have been away so much and his routine has been so disrupted lately. He does not want to do BP while things are a bit up in the air, so we take it day by day and I have to txt him every day to let him know how Flynny boy is doing.

Elle was covered in fleas last night, I found a couple on her while I was petting her so I decided to put her in the bath. Man I thought I was about to be scratched to death and my brother and sister were there laughing at preparations... they are so helpful... NOT!! :p But that cat just sat in the tub like a little lamb, I swear she enjoyed the warm water LOL the fleas ran to her head to get out the water and I picked them off (20) :eek::eek: her flea treatment was only just due, so dunno where she picked all these ones up. Once we got her out the bath, my brother dried her off I think once he realised the dangerous part was over :D:D. We got the hair dryer out but that DID make her freak out, so he just towel dried her. What a sweet smelling cat we have now! So that is probably where Flynn got his flea bites from, so I am blaming devil cat for Flynn's latest troubles!! :rolleyes: We put the flea treatment on her once she was dry, I told Mike about this and we have to give it to her 4 weekly instead of 6 weekly.

Dad's wound is still oozing, meeting with the Dr's tomorrow morning to find out next step :confused: he may have the big surgery to remove hip joint metalware after all. Not keen on that as risky at his age. Still he has done really well with the two anaesthetics too date, so hopefully if that is what is needed then the risks might be worth it.

Oh and peanut brownies before I forget are biscuits (cookies to you lot!) chocolate biscuits with peanuts in them! MmmmMMmmm... nurses were still raving about them today so maybe I will make them some more!

Tracy, I am happy your taking Mac in and saving him from a month in the kennels! Maybe this will help you in a way, slowly easing back into doggy life. Nice for you to come home to his happiness too... I am sure Woody would approve! x

Those fleas make me feel itchy even thinking about them! Brave woman you are Trish taking on devil cat Elle, glad you got the suckers.

Sorry I haven't been about, been reading and lurking, not posting as I have felt a bit funky myself the last few days and work is beyond rubbish, if only they would stop breaking things.

Hope you get some good news when you see the consultant and that the big surgery isn't required, poor dad could do with a break as could you and Mum

Tracy, I think Woody would be chuffed you were taking Mac so he didn't have to go to Kennels, might well turn out to be good for you to have him and if not then you know you aren't ready but helped him for a few weeks

Hopefully we will all be on together soon.

Hugs to you both xxxx

Start of my Monday, your's is over:):) I cant imagine bathing Elle. When we took Koko to the groomers Saturday, a woman brought in two cats to be groomed. I was trying to picture those to cats in the back room with all the dogs:confused:

I hope you have a good week and the meds get Flynn moving comfortably again.:):)

Hello

Sorry not been around much, but have been a bit miserable lately but getting better.

Poor Flynn and his Arthritis hope he is feeling better soon. Your poor dad fingers crossed that he is finally on the mend soon. I know you don't want him to have the framework removed, but if it helps clear it once and for all.

Work is manic everyone wants there orders out before the budget next week as this is when the government put up price of drink but it's going well.

Hope to catch up with you and Mel soon. Xx
