Okay, I could read Trish's not so secret code too! I think it means that we're starting to be able to read each other's thoughts and minds.

NOW, THAT IS SCARY!!!! lol :D:D:D:D

Well what a lovely relaxing, lazy day with no emergencies!! I love it :) I have watched two movies tonight, heavy rain here tonight so nice laying on the couch chilling out!

Flynny is outside running around in the rain and barking!! Eek 10.15pm at night, neighbours will not be happy. But he has had no walk today because of the weather... oops here he is all wet! Mmmm nice wet dog smell :p

I think he is drinking a bit more because of the prednisone, we are starting to cut it back to only one 5mg a day. It got rid of the itching in one day, but I did change him to the fish diet same day so maybe a combination of both. Couple of days of ABs left to go and no side effects from that. In saying that is over there on the floor licking away but I think it is just because he is a bit damp still.

Dad had the tooth extraction yesterday, it went well and is not to sore. His biggest problem is nausea in the mornings and I think that is due to his antibtiotics, he has actually vomited the last two mornings. He was meant to be taking it with food and I think he forgot that. So I have put in place a strict regime of his antinausea and to eat his meal and take the antibiotics afterwards. Hopefully this will settle it down. I also got him some antibiotics probiotic today to help with gut. I did the dressing today too, still oozing :mad: can see a little hole in the wound maybe a sinus, but not nasty like it has been previously.

Tina, that wet noodle description made me laugh. He so does that too, if I want him to go somewhere he doesn't want to go he does exactly that to make it as hard as possible to pick him up! Funny aren't they, yes I get the not feeling mad after they have been so sick too. Although... he did try my patience the other night. Our beach is stony and full of driftwood so it is not an easy mission to get down there and get him! Lucky no one was in hearing distance when I was yelling to get back here!

Well my shorthand did not last long did it!! xx

Heheheheheh That is hilarious, Flynn, rocks, beach, fish, yelling woman! Only because it was you and Flynn of course.

What movies did you watch? Anything good?

Hmm, well maybe this time your dads wound will heal! That would be lovely. Crossing fingers since it's looking better than last time.

Oh totally he needs to remember to take with food. That stuff can make you feel awful on an empty stomach sometimes. Blech.

I have to run over to the vets at some point to pick up mollys liver supplement. I am not feeling particularly motivated to do much yet though. LOL Lazy here too.

Hi Trish,

Reading about Flynn being Flynn makes me happy! Hearing about the devil cat, Elle, is certainly a bonus. Love it! :D:D:D

Hey you how are things this week. Hoping mum and dad are still on the mend and that Flynn is good:D

Hi girls

Well the week is going by with a few ups and downs. Same old really ;)

Mike sent me a txt yesterday that he wanted to see Flynn's paw, it is still not totally settled down. He mentioned mast cell tumour in the txt and thought we should biopsy it :eek::eek: after I read that and freaked out and said I will bring him NOW! He told me to calm down and it is probably not that but he does not like to leave any stone unturned with Flynn :). Fair enough, so instead of leaving work and racing Flynn to his surgery right then and there :rolleyes: we planned for me to drop him in this morning and he would have bloods, UPC, BP etc and he could take a look at his paw. So in he went for the day with his blankie, toy, packed lunch and urine sample. Mike, bless him sent me a txt at 10am to say relax paw looks fine it had settled more since the last photo I had sent him, he did not think it needed a biopsy and his BP was good at 135! I appreciated that as it saved me stewing all day wondering what was going on.

Picked him up at 5, he has done the bloods.. he said he might have results back tonight from external lab and he would send them if back before he left work. Nothing yet and it is 8.30pm now, so most likely tomorrow. When we had our chat when I collected him, he had a look at a couple of new bumps and Flynnikin, gives him a big kiss when his face got close enough to him. That dog knows a good vet when he see's him, I think he has got real used to him now with all their up close BP monitoring! Mike did say the BPs had quite a spread, some up to 180, some 80 which he thought a little odd but they averaged out at the 135 so happy with that. His inhouse UPC was same as last time so be interesting what external lab shows. He is still keen to remove big lipoma on his side. Hmmm I am still thinking on that one. He also said I am not to worry if LFTs are higher has he is still on the prednisone, esp ALT. So will see what comes back tomorrow. While we were talking Flynny was walking around the room checking everything out, once he did that he looked up at us and gave a big Bark!! Cracked us up, he never does that so he must be feeling OK! He was like...Ok Mum, we done here, hurry up and lets go... I need FOOD!

Thanks for asking about Dad, I had to take him today for his ortho checkup. Hip much the same, still oozing, but no flare up. We also saw the infectious diseases physician who is monitoring ABs, Dads renal function has gone off a bit so he stopped one and halved the other. So hopefully wound will stay ok and creatinine will come back down to normal. It was 153, should be under about 115, I am making him drink more as he is not good at that and the nausea he has been having has made that worse. But the last few days he has been feeling better, he even took Flynn for a little walk up the beach which I could tell both of them enjoyed!

Me, I'm just tired :cool: But hey, tomorrows Friday already! Roll on lazy weekend! xxxxx

So happy to read that Dad and Flynn took a walk along the beach:)

Your Mike is such a keeper, I think he deserves our forum's BEST VET EVER award:D:D:D:D:D:D

I nominate and vote for Dr. Mike!!!!!

He keeps such good tabs on you both, I am sure Flynn's labs will be just fine.

Happy Weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I second the nomination for best vet yet. Glad to hear Flynn's paw is not as bad as it might have been. After results today, sure hope things settle down for you a bit.
