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

Thanks Lori, I thought so but just hadn't gotten around to checking it out. God knows we do not need any new problems!! x

All fish all the time. Hope that works for him. I'm trying to run through what other proteins could be tried, but boy, I think you've gone through most of them. I was trying to think back to this time last year and what did the trick for him then. I could swear he got itchies off and on and a food switch Did help. Not the paw things though. or was there one prior to the last one? I'd have to go back through your thread last year and see what changes were made.
Definitely something to think about though.
Ha, This forum is like having a full 4 years of school, crammed into very little time. hahahaha

Glad your dad is doing okay. Wish that wound would just heal up though. Hoping these AB does the trick.

Man is this week over yet? bah humbug.

hugs
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Wow, Trish. You have your hands full and then some!! I'm glad your Mom is okay.Bob and I lost all four of our parents when we were in our 30s. That was plenty rough at the time. We are grateful not to be dealing with those issues now. It was rough enough back then. I can empathize with you. It is a lot to deal with. Hopefully your week will settle down some now.

Thrilled that your mom is home and doing well. Now let's get get your dad and Flynny boy on the mend. Poor Flynn. Those itchies suck! Xxxxx

Thanks Sharelene, good luck with going back through his thread :eek::eek: hope you have a spare few days :D To save you that nightmare , I have them all on my spreadsheet!! And yes we have been through a lot of proteins.... lamb, venison, chicken, beef also the hypoallergenic, tried possum but not on that long so could go back and try that. The woman in the pet store today was telling me I should try veal, but I thought that would be pretty much the same as beef but she swore the baby calves protein was different that an adult cow hmmmm???? Not convinced myself lol. But we will try the fish, he has had fish in the past but not regularly, just every Thursday for fish n chip night, well when he wasn't flaring anyway. So he has never been on it fulltime. So I am going to do half fish/quinoa and half orijen fish 6. I am just poaching his fish for tomorrow and gawd it is stinking up the kitchen! :rolleyes:

But three doses of the prednil and he has slowed down on the itching already. He has to have 5mg twice a day for 5 days and then one daily for 5 days, then one every 2nd day. Paw looks less red too :). Perkier on his walk tonight! Pretty nervous about the prednisone but the poor boy could not go on like this.

Thanks Susan, I have been very lucky to have my parents all this time and I hope they both have a few more years in them yet!! Must have been a hard time losing them all at once. Like Mum said, getting old is not for sissies!

Thanks Kathy!! I think we are starting to see some improvement YAY!!

LOL Couldn't help it when you talked about the fish stinking up the house. :p Trink eats cod and Grace eats Salmon. It's loverly in here when both are cooked in one day! That cod is especially strong. :eek: Throw in a pot of boiling beef liver and I spend quite a bit of my "cooking" time on the porch taking deep breaths. :p

But apparently salmon is all Grace can eat without severe diarrhea and Trink has the itchies too now so we are working on her diet and the cod mix seems to be helping with it. Sooooo the house will just have to stink every week, huh? :D

Hi Trish,
Oh dear...haven't checked threads in a day or two and so sorry to hear about your mom having to be in the hospital, your dad's tooth and ole Flynny with the itchies. Glad things seem to be getting better though--once your Dad's tooth can come out maybe things will settle down some.
You know what they say-when it rains it pours. Seems like it's like that all the time lately! Great news that nothing terribly serious with your Mom and that she is home and okay...probably scary when it happened though.
You're lucky to have Dr. Mike! I wish I had someone there like that, who knows your dog and happy to answer questions and advise. My vet is nice but I always feel like he's too busy..and they don't take emails at the office. Seems to me that email is less disruptive to the vet for a quick question. Anyway-hope everyone is doing okay by you today! :)

Barbara
