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

I would agree in other dogs that it would take more time but no Flynn the wonder dog :D

Tramadol is pretty good so maybe it's working well on him, I would be inclined to keep him calm no zoomies for a few days as the tramadol can mask the pain don't want any damage being down :)

My thoughts exactly! I did not expect him to zoom, so he caught me off guard... but then I caught him so he could zoom no more :D

I'm not going to give him the Tramadol again tonight unless I see any more obvious pain to see what he is like.

Jesus he just tried to jump on the couch, I am going to have to tie him down!! He wanted to go to the bedroom before and he was in there laying on his mat. His nice bed out in the lounge, so I took it back to its usual spot. He hopped in, me back out to lounge. He stayed in there all of 5 mins lol and out he comes! Think I will be having an early night to keep him quiet in his bed!

Hi Girls!
Thought I would check in real quick while I had the dogs outside for a late pitstop. The thunder is rumbling again, I think it woke them up. I figured I better get them outside before the next round of storms moves in.

Gosh Trish, I wonder if Flynn had some sort of spasm in his back or something? I know I get those from time to time, and they can be quite suddenly painful and sometimes they do settle down pretty quickly. So glad you could get him into the vet right away and have the bloodwork checked, at least you know that all looked good. But now the challenge will be to keep him from trying to jump up on stuff! I know that is always so hard with my dogs. It sounds like he is doing really great other than this. Did he eat his dinner?

Aww, the picture of him with the water bottle is so cute. :)

Hey Tina!! Yes, he did eat his dinner and looking for more. Maybe a back spasm... the vet checked him out pretty well. He held his back legs up off the table and felt down his spine. Said he did not like that, but I don't think I would like to be held in that position either!! :eek: Yes, maybe was something like a spasm, just weird, he looked so sick, trembling non stop, head hanging, came to sit right beside me, walking slow, not interested in a treat or anything. I checked his gums, they were nice and pink so not in shock, tummy soft, good poop this morning. Maybe he should have a spine xray, Mike can sort it out tomorrow when I take him in.

Tracy has been out partying all night!! Not feeling too flash and off to have a brekky to soak it all up :D:D Least some of us are having fun!! :)

God your storms are relentless!! Poor doggies getting woken up with that racket!! Hope it blows through again like last week :)

Oh good for Tracy for having the energy to party all night, but I'm sorry she's not feeling too well now. Hopefully a little something to eat will help her feel better. Boy it's been a long time since those days for me! I can hardly have a single drink now, and I'm ready for bed! LOL :D

That is such a scare with Flynn, with him acting like that, and then not wanting to eat. Yes, maybe a spine x-ray would be a good idea. I'm sure Mike will know just what to do. Glad he ate, that is definitely a good sign! These pups, it seems they just have to keep us on our toes. :rolleyes:

Yes, we have been hammered with storms lately. Not expecting anything bad this morning, however, it seems like they just flare up out of nowhere. Friday night we had a horrible storms here, not considered severe, but we got about 6 inches of rain in a couple of hours. :eek: Lots of flooding all over town and there were two fatalities of people who drowned while they were out driving, and cars got washed off the road. How horrible and so scary. My street and front yard looked like a river there was so much water rushing down it. I have never seen it quite like that before. Thank goodness I was home and not out and about.

OMG, I always think when I see cars driving into flood waters how dangerous it looks. Yikes, I am glad you were all home too!!

I just checked your weather and there is a band coming through, but looks dry for the next hour or so at least so hopefully you can get back to sleep for a while. But there are a few red patches so guess you will get a bit more rain before morning, said thunderstorms through to tomorrow night, but guess you know all that :rolleyes:

I am just emailing Mike so he has the info for the morning as sometimes when I take Flynny in for his bloods etc he is with another patient so I don't get to talk to him then. We usually talk when I pick him up later in the day. I am off work tomorrow, so that is good can go get him whenever he is ready.

Oh that's great that you're off work Trish. That will help with getting Flynn back to the vet. I love your Dr. Mike, you have such great communication with him. And it seems like he's always so available for you, with phone calls and emails. That is always so reassuring. The last couple times I've talked to my vet, I kind of feel like she wasn't as accommodating as usual. Sometimes I get the feeling that they get sick of me at the office. But I can't help it. Jasper has a lot of issues and unfortunately it results in a lot of calls and appointments. Maybe I'm being sensitive, but sometimes I just get a cold feeling from the staff at the office, kind of like they're tired of hearing from me. :o

Yep, we are heading back to bed in just a minute here. The concern for us right now is the heavy rain that is forecast, with all the flooding that we've had. They showed a house on the news last night in another part of town where the one whole side of the house had collapsed into a sinkhole from all the rain. Their house is a total loss, the water just gushed in. Those poor people, I literally felt sick looking at that. :(

You just ignore those feelings Tina!! That vet should thank their lucky stars they have you and Jasper as clients, he is a a complex case and you keep on top of it. I am sure they roll their eyes when I call too, I don't care :rolleyes:;):eek::D I care about Flynn more than I worry about what they think of me :D So put those thoughts aside and you keep doing what you do best, looking after that spunky boy of yours :D:D

Now get to bed!! Get some sleep before it is daylight!! Oh god, now I not only have to worry about tornados around you but you could all disappear down a sink hole??? :eek::eek::eek:

You are exactly right, I am way more concerned about Jasper than what they think there at the office for sure. But sometimes I do get those feelings, I just need to ignore them better. ;)

No worries Trish, hopefully there won't be any sink holes in this part of town. Good Lord that was awful! Yep we are heading to bed now for a little bit so I will catch you later. I will be looking for good news from Flynn's appointment. Hope you have a nice day off tomorrow. :) :D

Smooches for Flynny. xo
