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

Good morning Marianne!! So far so good, I will feel better once I have the written report though. We are all like that, looking at all the numbers!

He was so impressed with Flynny when he examined him, bless his heart the little sweetheart, after all the operating and poking and prodding when they get down on the floor with him to look him over he always gives them a kiss. He said he examines real well for a senior!

I have eaten McDonalds for breakfast, most of a box of Cadbury's favourites, packet of twisties, 3 cans coke zero, mince pie, 2 mandarins and green tea!! That was before I got home and had my healthy soup to give me a least a few vitamins today!!

Couldn't fit in KFC Tracy lol.... that potato and gravy is always good if you are feeling sick!

Senior no no Flynn is not a senior he is just mature lol. Gawd you ate a lot of not so healthy foods lol I'm like that when I'm stressed, tired, worried oh pretty much all the time.:D I've decided it's KFC and I need to eat it in the car as Rachel's not allowed ha ha

Yes, that would be a bit torturous eating it in front of the poor girl! I will be on salad tomorrow to make up for my binging! I better get to bed, after 11 1/2 hrs driving today I am a bit knackered and have work in the morning. Oh I just remembered, Dad has his orthopaedic specialist appointment in the morning. But he is going to drive himself and I will meet him in the clinic at 9.30. I hope no one in my family, human or doggie needs to see a health professional for at least a couple of weeks!! I txt Mike a quick outline and he was happy to hear it went well! Right, nighty nite... I will check early in the morning to hear if your a new Great Aunt (gawd that makes you sound old :D), fingers crossed it goes nice and fast for her xxxxxx

Trish- if her has itchy feet you can get Betadine iodine and put a few squirts in a pan with water- color of iced tea- dunk his feet in when he comes in from outside, no need to rinse, wont hurt him if he licks his feet.:):):):) Used to do it with Zoe in the summer.

Just a thought. So far I think the report sounds pretty darn good. Glad you made it home, such a long drive in the rain.

In some vet circles, the adrenal testing done by Dr. Oliver is still considered controversy- depends which IMS and endocrinologist you speak to here in the states.

have to run to work. sure glad you are both home safe.:):):)

YUK driving in rain over the mountain! I'd be a wreck. I'd do it, but I'd be a wreck. LOL Glad Flynn slept for the most parts, makes it all easier at least than if he was up and about.

Well, that report doesn't sound that bad really. I know you want the written one I would too, but it does sound like a good run down by the vet.

My IMS said the same thing, not everyone believes in the atypical diagnosis.

Those allergies seem to be one of the main deals and it does seem to be environmental doesn't it. (well plus flea)

hmm, thinking about making mexican stuffed pasta shells tonight. Best run off to the store to get the ingredients!

I only cook 2 or 3 days this week! whoo hooo! (probably 2, I need to call some peeps to see if they want to go to one of those Japanese grill table restaurants on friday)

hugs all

Just catching up on your thread!

WOW! These IMS appointments are major, aren't they?? Bummer about the hypoallergenic food. It's just not very palatable, which is no good.

Your binge had me cracking up. I think I'd be sick a week.. and for sure have to switch to the salads to make up for it. :)

I am not too god with understand many items in these reports but it sounds pretty good to me! YAY Flynn!!

Hi all - thanks so much for your comments girls!

Yep Renee, I have felt a bit off today lol... early night needed! But I have been a healthy girl today to make up for it :rolleyes: I forgot to say on the apoquel about the issue I had read about the warning with it in dogs with neoplasia. IMS said he had read the reports and he thinks that with the number of dogs involved in the studies it is not surprising a proportion had a tumour, maybe even before they started on the apoquel so he thought that a red herring. His only concern that Flynny's problem with flea allergy might not be a good indication for its use. Anyway, it's a moot point as we cannot get a consistent supply of it anyway. Will talk to Mike about using what he has in stock to trial it.

Good idea about the feet washing Tracy and Addy, I am have already started doing that today. He did say there are some weird skin conditions associated with liver disease, but because Flynn has some hot spots he is still thinking it is flea allergy.

No formal report yet. Hopefully soon! x

Good golly, Trish! I go for a little boat ride and you and Flynny go crazy! A six hour drive, in the rain, in the mountains; a 7 page spreadsheet/questionnaire? A scan and then bumped off? Whew! Sounds like a Laurel and Hardy movie!! The report, while not on paper yet, sounds promising. I'll keep my toesies crossed that things are calm for awhile. Get some rest! Eat some chocolate!
