Awww, your vet just sounds too cute!!
Yes, apoquel is in quite big demand. If he's offered it to you, I would jump right on it, with the IMS approval, of course. My very good friend just started using it on her frenchie, and she is just raving about how amazing it is. I am tickled that something has finally hit the market that is working so well for so many pups.
And, too funny about the new grandson named Flynn!! :D

I know, isn't it... the pair of us were just laughing and laughing, one of the nurses came out and said what's so funny you two! Flynn was like, what the heck is going on LOL.
He is going to hold on to the apoquel and once the IMS gives the OK that is what we will try. Thanks so much for telling me about that Renee!! Very timely it was :D
I reckon, a vet in the family would be ideal Barbara!! Imagine the money we could save!
Flynny is booked in again for next Tuesday so we have the updated bloods/UPC for the IMS trip the week after, BP check as well. I said that makes me nervous with all this itching going on, but Mike said well too bad, we need the results for IMS and the pred should be well and truly out his system by now lol... so guess I have to suck it up!

Oh your vet is too cute. Flynn! Well I love the name Flynn so good choice and really not a bad idea to have him always thinking on our Flynn man. Hehehe.
Got to feel for him a bit though I suppose. No leaving his work at the office now eh.
Glad there are no mites or other nasties.
Interesting about the new med.
just going into winter though there. Did Flynn act up this time last year?

I just checked his spreadsheet and he was scratching up a storm this time last year. Tummy was upset last April too.
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hi Trish,
So glad you decided to take Flynn in, and happy there is no ear infection. When I read what you wrote about his ear, I suspected that it was probably due to scratching, glad that was all it is.
I can't say enough how much I love your vet. He is a true gem. I have been very happy with my vet and she is good with Jasper, but its not the same as how Mike is with Flynn. And that is so cute that his new grandbaby is named Flynn!
Add me to the group that is over the top about their baby. I have always been somewhat like that about my dogs, but since this Cushings diagnosis and all that has happened since then, it is just ratcheted up. I can't help it, and I know I will never again be the same as I was before, with any dog. And that is not all good either. Under the surface I find myself questioning or second guessing my vet quite frequently, where I never did that before. Sometimes I get the sense that she is getting tired of my questions, or gets a little exasperated with my calls sometimes. In that sense I wish she was more like Mike.
It sounds like he is on top of Flynn's itchies. That new med sounds promising.
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo

Sounds like either the fleas get him at this time of the year. (Sending Ellie the look). Or there is something environment at this time of the year.
Pollen? Fall shedding pollen maybe or a combination.
At least if we are all going to be over the top with the furry kids we have good company. :)

Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Yes, believe me I have been giving Elle the "look" too... even threatening her with another bath. If I do I am going to take a photo as she looked so funny last time I did that, but saying that she was a really good puss and sat in the warm water quite happily!!
Hi Tina!! I get that sense too sometimes, but I just keep on going. I am not going to risk anything by being too worried about what he thinks to not ask the questions when I am concerned. Imagine if we let things slide, I don't want to have to kick myself! Nothing wrong with being over the top, there are enough that ignore their dogs!! I have to shower Flynn for 2nd night in a row.. he has rolled in some dead thing just now up the beach. Phew, is not a nice perfume my boy!
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Yes, I agree. I feel uncomfortable sometimes, but always ask anyway. I have to have my concerns addressed or I can't rest. I couldn't live with myself if I ignored something I was worried about. That sweet little guy is way too important.
Oh Flynny, a shower two nights in a row. Well, he knows you are on holiday Trish, he has to keep you busy! Lol! :D Ooh, that aroma after rolling in dead things is most unpleasant! :eek:
Nighty night, hope to catch you tomorrow. xo
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hey Trish, how much metamucil do you add to Flynny's food? I am still having a hard time with Peg :(, and am wondering whether some fiber might help (seems like it can't hurt! :o).
