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

sweet story! Happy Birthday Flynn!!

Thanks for your good wishes :)

I have to go to work in an hour. Flynn is not well :( He did not want to get out of bed this morning and I had to coax him out to have a pee. He only ate half his breakfast. He is such a worry, at least he is going to Mum and Dad's for the day. He vomited yesterday morning too, he looked pretty good then and had just eaten his breakfast with SEB added, he did not like it and only ate a little. So I stopped giving him the SEB thinking it made him sick. He felt hungry immediately after and perked right up. I took him for a walk up the beach last night, he picked something up and ate it so wondering if whatever it was upset him.

Will see what today brings, hope he is feeling better later. xx

Happy birthday to Flynn! I sure hope he will be feeling better later today. I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way!

Hopefully, whatever he grabbed on the beach upset his tummy and nothing else. Get better Flynn!!!!

Fiddle sticks I missed Flynn's birthday. I love the story of his bday by the way. How sweet. Flynn and you were meant to be together. Destiny!
Happy Belated birthday Flynn.
Hope that was just a beach pickup! Flynn, stop scaring your mum!

Hi all

Yay your back Sharlene, sounds like you had a fabulous time with your grandbaby :) I missed you though!

Well it seems like Flynn does have pancreatitis, vet rang me with results today

LIP 227 IU/L H (22 - 126)
AMY 925 IU/L (329 - 1074)

Spec cPL 865 ug/L

Spec – cPL Interpretation
Serum spec cPL concentration >=400 ug/L is consistent with pancreatitis. Serum spec cPL concentration between 201 and 399 ug/L is questionable. The patient may have pancreatitis and serum spec cPL concentration should be re-evaluated. If clinical signs are present, treat appropriately and perform additional diagnostics to rule out other differential diagnoses. Repeat the spec cPL in 1-2 weeks. If asymptomatic recommend retesting in 3-4 weeks. Normal range for cPL is <= 200ug/L.

So that seems pretty high to me, he has picked up over the day. Hungry again, but I am a little worried about giving him too much food in case we set it off again. He is quite shaky and panting too. The vet mentioned today about giving him pain relief like a Fentanyl patch, as he does not want to give him non steroidal if his intake is variable. Mum and Dad got quite a bit of fluids into him today so I don't think he is too dry. He has just been out barking at the boys kicking a ball around next door, so he can't be feeling too bad.

He has a vet appt tomorrow that we had made to check his BP, I so hope it is down but I don't think it is at the moment, if his trembling is anything to go by.

Vet said we just keep treating conservatively, low fat diet, push fluids, pain relief if needed and if sick IV fluids. I hope tihs settles down soon. I keep thinking we have turned the corner only to have another roadblock put int he way!!

Thanks for checking in on us xx

ugh poor Flynn, try smaller meals during the day, like 4 small meals, very bland, rice and boiled chicken kind of thing, till he can beat this thing.

Missed you all too.

He was on rice and boiled chicken for a week or so postop, was not helping the poop situation at all.

The vets told me to put him on Royal Canin gastrointestinal low fat which has given him formed stools. So hard to know what to do re diet. He seems to like it.

I tried him on SEB for two days, but yesterday morning he would not eat it and vomited, then was hungry and eating well rest of day. He also had one episode of loose BM. That has come right too.

He seems sore, pulling his back leg up while laying on his side resting. So I have just given him oral temgesic so hope that helps.

OH and he had eaten 3 hrs before the S pec Cpl test, now I read he should have fasted 12hrs?!?!

Jeepers it didn't help, the temgesic I mean. About a half hour after that he started crying and didn't stop for an hour or so and didn't know what he wanted to do, he went outside, cried, I took him for wee walk and he did a good normal poop. Lay with him on the floor on a soft blankie, cried, scratched his sweet spot on his back, cried, I might add while shifting about so I could get the spot better!! I contacted vet and he said that it can make them spacey. Well he has finally agreed to go to his bed and is asleep now. His tummy is soft, no vomiting and he just ate a small bite to eat that I offered him. So hopefully it was just drug reaction. These babies frighten the bejeezus out of me sometimes!!!!!!!! He is due to see vet tomorrow so will discuss pain relief further then. Hope we get a good sleep and he better in the morning. Night.

Hi Trish,

I hope Flynn has settled and is feeling a bit better. Holding my breath with you for Flynn. We have all gotten mighty attached to him. I think another pup had problems with the SEB, so could be it just did not agree with him. I am hoping the new food helps and whatever he ate on the beach has worked through his system. Dang, Zoe used to do that to me ALL the time:rolleyes::rolleyes: I would just get her better and she would go find something else outside to munch on:eek:
