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

Trish.. I hope you & Flynn were able to rest. :(

Hoping for a good night for you both.
Want us to sing twinkle twinkle little star to you? :)

What did the vet say today?

Medication for pain is a must, pancreatitis is very painful. If it were me, I would start the chicken and rice again, using 99% fat free skin-less and boneless chicken breasts and boiling the rice until it becomes really mushy.

Wishing you both a good nights sleep and sending tons of healing light, hugs, and love.

Thanks everyone, he had a reasonable night but wanted out a few times, sometimes just to bark at invisible burglars! He was not keen to eat this morning, but he did have some food. I took him straight to vet on my way to work.

He redid bloods, electrolytes were good. Amylase high but we know that test was high last week and when checked at external lab was low. Did not do the spec cpl again. He had 500ml IV fluids, he is hungry as anything tonight but not going to give him too much in case we overstimulate his pancreas. He is lying by his plate hoping more food will materialise! Very perky tonight. But have seen this pattern before and he goes back down again over a few days. Local vet thought he could feel an orange size mass which he thought was faeces. He could not xray him (didn't I ask for that days agoooooooo!) as there was a 3hr bloody power cut!!!!!!! Excuse my language, but jeez, could not do BP for same reason.

I told him his bowels have been moving well last few days, but he gave him an enema and he had two more soft poops but he had not been this morning before we left home.

I worry about his breathing, he is fine when still but mouth breathes when he walks about and he has done that to some extent preop too, but I feel it is worse. He also trembles a lot when standing, pretty good when lying down.

Sooooooooo I had kind of stopped emailing his surgeon as I was starting to feel a bit of a pest. But I had sent them a Christmas cake and it arrived there this morning so he sent me an email to say thank you and asked after Flynn, so I replied straight away with this latest problem and told him local vet could feel this mass... I had felt a much smaller area when his bowels were not moving properly and you could dent it and it felt like full bowel to me too. I cannot feel it tonight though and there is nothing there remotely orange sized to me!! So long story short, surgeon suggested he should see him again and he wants him there tomorrow morning first thing. Eeek I am back at work only two days and cannot cancel again at short notice, so tomorrow morning I am getting up real early taking him down, then coming back to work and will check on things later in day and go back and get him or maybe he has to stay a night or two in the university hospital. I hate leaving him overnight, but that would almost be a relief in some ways so they can keep an eye on him.

Here he is running about wanting back rubs, food, a walk. Gawd I am going to look such a drama queen which I think they suspect already :D:D But he should be better than he is right now, he is 15 days postop.

Will let you know how we go xxxxxxxxxxxx neeeeeeeed sleeeeeeeeeeeeep, oh and he is not to have Temgesic again! He has had Cernia though which surgeon said does have some pain relief properties too.

Geez, Trish. You and Flynn have been through so much. Both of you need a break. I am sorry there have been so many ups and downs. I sure hope they can get him on the right track and keep him there.

Big, big hugs!

Wow, definitely ups and downs with this adrenal surgery stuff. I'd be a drama queen too! LOL

hugs,

Your not going to believe this, scan at university today showed they left a swab in my poor Flynn. He is going into surgery this afternoon to have it removed. Poor little boy :(

Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? That's absolutely horrible and I hope Flynn does well with the surgery. I can only imagine how stunned and upset you are. Thank goodness they found it before it caused some really serious problems. Saying prayers for your boy and sending positive thoughts and big cyber hugs.

Holy crap! :eek::eek::eek: Poor Flynn. I cannot believe it. No wonder his tummy is messed up. Bless his heart and thank GOD you took him in. Please keep us posted. Love and hugs, Kim

Good Grief! You hear about stuff like this but how horrible! Poor Flynn. :( It sure does explain a few things though. Hopefully he'll come through just fine and then will be able to heal just fine.

Hugs,
