I think it is pretty darn good news, especially the UPC- yeah, you go Flynn:):):):):):):) Down is a good direction!!!!!
I know what you mean about taking off work, the pain of catch up is awful when no one does your work.
Have a good weekend, it has already started for you.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Hi all
Yep down is good, but further would be better. So love to see them less than February!
I have given Flynn more of the antihistamines. He does have a couple of hot spots on his tail and sides which is most likely due to flea allergy. Darn things, but hopefully now we are heading into winter the cold weather will kill them off. First frost of the season today, and a gorgeous sunny day now. I just came back home and have all the pet blankets to put through the wash from both houses. I will give it another really good vacuum around at Mum and Dads and tomorrow will let off a flea bomb! That should get any residual little suckers. He is itching less though.
Sharlene, your right my alert radar is ticking furiously over the liver issues so I hope the scan can settle down those worries. Mum gets back next Saturday, she just called and is bored down there and looking forward to coming home. They are looking after my Aunt and Uncle's dog a little JRT called Dolly :D
Renee, it will be interesting to hear what IMS has to say about the apoquel. I hope we can use it. I am going to email him Flynn's spreadsheet with all his test results and also a condensed history with my questions either today or tomorrow so we are all prepared for our appointment on Monday.

I hope you have a good weekend and Flynn's hot spot aren't too much of a bother to him. A good cold snap will hopefully get rid of those pesky fleas. Man I don't like those things. They are awful in the warmer areas, like when I lived in Hawaii and Texas. Just hard to get rid of, we never seem to get cold enough to really get rid of them completely.
Sounds like you will be as prepared as it is possible to be with the spreadsheet and questions sent off.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi Trish,
Thanks for your posts on our thread. I have an update, will get it in as soon as I can. She ran all his labs again (in house of course) and thankfully nothing glaring there.
I am beyond thrilled with Flynn's latest UPC!! What a relief! And it gives me a little glimmer of hope even though Jasper's issues are different. Happy about the other results going down also. Those liver values are heading in the right direction and I bet they will continue to come down further with time. It seems like it takes a long time to see changes there.
It will be a relief to get his scan out of the way. It is on Monday, right? Not too long now. How are the allergies doing today? I sure hope you can get the itching under control.
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo

Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hay you missed you again ! You seem a bit snowed under there with looking after dad, work and worrying about Flynn. Oh your mum is looking after a JRT, I love the name Dolly. I hope your dad is behaving himself.
I am off tomorrow it's the May Day here so i will be around all day to focus my "no nasties on scan" thoughts to Flynn and you. I hope you can get some sleep yeah I know it will be difficult with your mind working overtime but do try :)
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Oh my gosh Trish, I fell asleep on the couch with the ipad!!! :o :rolleyes:
Darn, was looking forward to chatting for a bit, sorry about that! Ok, so I will be focusing my positive thoughts all evening and night tonight my time. Yes, I hope you are able to get some sleep ahead of that lengthy drive.
All the best for Flynn with the appt and scan. I am still thinking about the UPC result and hope it will set the trend for more good things to come. Drive safe and I will be watching for updates.
Big hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo

Darn, now I have missed you guys lol I was on the couch watching the final of masterchef! Think I am ready for the morning, not really tired at all yet. Flynn is all quiet tonight, not wanting to do much of anything but is eating fine, had a good walk this afternoon too. Sometimes I do think that antihistamine sedates him a bit, even though its not meant to :confused: thanks for the well wishes tomorrow. I will do an update after I see IMS before I drive home. x
