Yay, he is home!!!! It should be uphill from here. Still, poor Flynn having to endure two surgeries. He is a tough little guy. I am so glad you were a "drama queen." It certainly paid off. You are a good Momma, Trish.
Have a great weekend. Keep us posted.

Thanks Ro, Patty, Amy and Sharlene
It is so hot here today, have kept inside in the air conditioning! I guess under the circumstances Flynn is doing fine. He is hungry and eating, but he is pretty tired, pants easily and has the twitches even when resting. I have given him pain relief as prescribed. Tummy seems soft and did a small poop this morning but formed. It is going to take him a while to get over this and I am so upset and sad he has to go through it.
Sounds like they did spoil him, they had him in their office instead of in a cage. He is a little hoarse, been barking with the other dogs I think.
He apologised profusely, told me what they think happened and discussed with me how their surgical protocol has been changed so this can never happen to another pet. While it does not alter their monumental stuff up I appreciated their honesty and the surgeons actions since in what is a terrible situation especially for Flynny.
I have just been and done the Christmas grocery shopping as it has finally cooled down, 8.30pm Saturday night - such an exciting social life I have! Flynn's stocking is suitably filled with goodies (not edible as keeping him low fat). Will do the baking tomorrow :)
Night all and thanks for checking in xx

So thankful Flynn is recovering from his latest go round. I am hoping and praying things settle down for the two of you.
I think we are all behind in our holiday chores and celebrations this year. I'll think of you baking if I smell anything homemade:D:D:D
I did not even get as far as slicing up a roll of Pillsbury cookie mix:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Pretty sad:D:D:D:D:o:o:o
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma

Decorating a cactus sure does count and I think you should take a picture of your star on a cactus:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Yummmmm, what is that smell? Home made cookies, maybe? I think the wind is bringing a delicious aroma my way. Must be from your house:D:D:D

Thanks Belinda, Addy and Skye! I decided early on there was no point losing my temper with them, only once did I get a little snippy on the phone, they obviously felt terrible and were doing their very best to look after Flynn and undo the damage so it was best to let them get on with it without having to deal with a furious me. So I kept the lid on my anger, disappointment, sadness all those emotions were swirling for sure because I felt so bad for Flynn. Doubting myself too, wishing I had forced the issue sooner... but it was always pointed out that pancreatitis waxes and wanes and that was what it was put down as.. lab tests supported that diagnosis too. So it was just a whole complicated situation and that thank god he has got through it.
We have had such a great day, he is much better. I can see it in his eyes :eek: ! But his are finally happy eyes :)
We have been out most of the day, I had to go pick up my niece for the Christmas festivities, I left Flynn at Mum and Dad's as had to go in the direction of the pet hospital and he could do without that! He is so much happier, trembling and panting much less. YAY! I spent some time there helping them in the yard and he was trotting around happily with Elle their Siamese. She is happy he is getting his health back and has resumed her usual stalking of him, leaping out at him from behind bushes to give him a fright and a swipe if she gets half the chance.... cheeky bloody cat! She really wants to be his friend, him... not so keen :D:D He has sunbathed, eaten, drunk, pooped, explored outside, played with his toys and done everything right! Only blip was he has scratched his chest and it was a little raw, I am wondering if the antibiotic is making him a little itchy. But we can deal with that :)
Hope everyone else has had a lovely day.. and no Addy, no home cooking smells coming from my house yet, might do some truffles tonight, the no bake ones! :D:D
Night all, sleep tight, wishing happy dreams for all the pups, two more sleeps and Santa is here xx
