Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Could it be lick granuloma that he has, I,ve know a few dogs with it over the years, it is easily rectified.
Yeah I hate when its dark in the mornings and dark at night, so glad its getting lighter now. We still have rain everyday at the moment, if we don,t get it in the morning we have it in the afternoon. I suppose it would be cold over there to you, but to me it would be like our summer :p I so hope we get something resembling a summer this year, it wasn,t too bad last year. I,ve got Mum a new top, flowers and chocolates for her mothers day, she never wants anything but tough she,s getting it :)
Oh Flynn has a protector that,s funny and another Dr Mike supporter. I,m just getting used to the fact that Mac is great with other dogs as Woody wasn,t, its great to see him run and play in the park with the other dogs.:eek:

Maybe that, he said something about how they lick it so much it pushes the hair follicles backwards into the tissue and it sets up the inflammation.
Yes, it is nice when they play with other dogs. I am a bit selective about how I let him play with though!! He is wary of big black dogs in particular so we take a wide berth around them. I think they need to socialise if they can, all part of the dog worthy life!! It is not good when they are kept on their own a lot of the time, but that is hard when you are virtually housebound with the weather you have had up in the Northern Hemisphere. Flynn does not think he needs a protector, if they are loose walking Dougal tries to herd him... but Flynny thinks if there is any herding to be done he will do it himself thanks very much and starts ignoring Dougal!
Awww your Mum will secretly like all those gifts, my parents are the same... no, don't get me anything, I don't need anything etc etc but they polish off any lollies I get them or any other treats!

There saying it has been the wettest winter since records began and I can believe that. Mel is getting sunshine :mad: maybe I should move down her way if I want better weather. I,ve been trying to cut the grass all week but each time I bring the lawnmower out it blinkin rains. Its suppose to be nice tomorrow so hopefully will get it cut then, it is rather long now :eek:
You can get strips that you put over the spot and it has a horrible taste so when the dog licks it, the taste deters him from doing it again can,t remember the proper name, but maybe Flynn would like the taste hee hee. Bruno my old dog went through a stage of chewing the wall in the house like the wall paper and the actual wall, I tried everything to get him to stop and someone told me to put mustard on it, as its quite nippy tasting the dog would stop ..... nope Bruno loved the taste :eek:
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Oh god did you have to mention lawn mowing!!! I hate it and it MUST be done today as my bin has to go out tonight. Dad usually does it for me, but I don't want him doing that right now!! Honestly my lawn is only about 10x10m but boy does it grow fast :mad::mad: Plus I have an old dunger of a mower and keep thinking I should buy a new one, but keep finding other things to spend my money on... namely Flynn!
LOL at Bruno eating the mustard wall :D:D jeez how nasty must that have tasted, that was one determined dog!! That stuff sounds like what you put on finger nails to stop chewing them!
Speaking of Mel... where is she?????????????? MEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
I wish my garden was that size my back garden is 200 ft long and about 30 ft wide its massive, and I also have a front garden but its tiny.
Yeah where is Mel I,ll call her MEL, MEL, MEL, we,re here where are you :D
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Ohhh it worked I see her LOL YAY Mel, I am a bit more awake to talk to you today, hope Saturday has gone well and Boyce's paw is OK :)
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hello hello
Am here, was sitting with the wee man as he is not quite right on that leg, seemed to want me near which isn't him at all so it must be a bit sore.
I have been carrying his lardy bum up and down the stairs so he doesn't aggravate it. Boy is he heavier than his sister she was a feather in comparison. He is walking better so I think he has just tweaked something.
Why was Bruno eating the wall?
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hey Mel
You heard me. Oh poor Boysie, hoping the leg is getting better, he may just be being lazy and wanting you to carry him lol.
Bruno eat the wall when we think he was teething, it was around the time his back teeth where coming in so the vet thought that was why. He was a silly dog, we ended up giving him a babies teething ring you know the ones you freeze.
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Okay, I am royally jealous!!! You people are hogging Mel!:eek::eek: Don't think I didn't notice!!!! Lol ;) Xxxxx
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
He would prefer me not to carry him, he hates it. I have given him no choice as I don't want him to aggravate it. Tia didn't mind getting a lift, she loved being carried :D
Bless him. I did smile when I read about Mac being an early bird now. His parents will not love you.
Doggie date with Dougal sounds fun, very Scottish name :D. Are mum and dad doing ok today?
