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

Hey I'm back. Breakfast turned into brunch as she was cooking for 12 :eek: some had champagne with theirs I had tea :D I could not face another drink lol. I managed a cooked breakfast so feel much better shouldn't complain as it's self inflicted :p

Tina I hope you get a break from the storms and that you get some sleep x

Trish fingers crossed for Flynns vet appointment will check back later to see how he went, now time for a wee nap :cool:

I was not expecting to read all of this about our little boy. I am not sure what to make of it all expect perhaps he just had a misstep causing pain and some rest, warmth and tramadol set it right.:confused:

Could he have eaten something that bothered him for a bit?

Well, Trish, will be looking for updates on Flynny. I hope things keep improving.

Hi!

He had a good night, no sign of problems this morning. Just been in to see Mike, he said he often see's dogs that present with similar sudden pain that resolves quickly. Like they will get a panicked call at opening with owners saying their dog cannot walk, then by the time they bring them in it has come right and they are walking again. Tina, he said back spasms not unusual in older arthriticy dogs either and he thought could well be that, so you were onto it! :)

He said he did not want to do his bloods today while Flynn had that happen yesterday, just in case the bloods are off he did not want to have to wonder whether yesterdays issue caused it so prefers to leave it until later in the week to give him time to fully settle down. No BP as there was a barking dog out the back. I did take in a urine for his UPC. Don't think he ate anything odd Addy, poops are fine again today too.

So a nice drama free day would be good! :) x

Hi Trish!

Sorry to read about Flynn's back problem, but he sure looks like he's living a mighty comfy life with that water bottle covered and on his back. :D
Mike sounds like he's wonderful. I hope Flynn continues to improve and that it was just an odd little episode.

Hugs,
Susan

Trish, back problems are no fun at all. Poor Flynn and how scary for you!

So glad to read Flynny is doing better :D hoping he has just tweaked it or had a spasm.

Here's to a drama free week :D

Well you know, Flynn is the gift that keeps on giving, in oh so many ways. hahahaha Mike is a wonderful guy. I think it was his calling in life to be a vet. Not all are so great, many are, but not all and how lucky that he is yours and Flynns. Tell him he has his own fan club around this joint. :)

Glad to hear the Flynn man is still doing is fine and acting fine.

hugs

He thinks he has tweaked his back (Mike not on call today, but this guy nice and I had txt Mike on the way!) Flynn is walking, just slow. We don't like giving him non-steroidals or steroids for that matter. So he took bloods just to check nothing funny going on, but these are just in-house. He going to ring with those results this afternoon. I have to take Flynn back tomorrow morning to see Mike for proper bloods. I have given him 25mg Tramadol, you think I tried to feed him hot lava, spat it out.. was half a 50mg capsule and I sprinkled it on a bit of his food. So I gave him a squirt of the liquid stuff too. He does not want to eat either. He settled in his bed on the floor for now, he wanted on the couch but I don't want him up there in case he decides to jump off and I don't get him in time and does more damage. Hope he is OK and it is just a little back tweak. Honestly, just when you think everything is going well :(

Oh Trish I am sorry to hear this, but yes when Snugs back is hurting him (he has a very bad back although you would never know it most of the time) he walks with his head down, which tells me he hurt his back. I put him on complete crate rest for a few days and give him a baby aspirin. My vet has ultrasound massages for dogs with bad backs, arthritis and says he gets amazing results. Dogs that can barely walk end up walking well after treatments.
I haven't tried it yet my money right now is going for all their other issues, but it is something you may want to think about.

Also when I give my boys their herbal meds that are pills or any pills I put some natural applesauce on a spoon and bury the pill in it and they gobble it down off the spoon.

I hope his back issue resolves quickly! Hugs to you and sweet Flynn!

Hi all

I have the week off so home with him. He a little off again today, vomited up his meds this morning. Which he has done on occasion. He has to have them an hour before his breakfast. Ate his brekky well though.

Did a bit of a head down, shaky episode before too. Not as bad as the other day but just enough to le me know he is not right. Gave him a squirt of Tramadol. I am not convinced it is his back, but hard to tell really. He is starting to itch again too. :mad:

Oh well, the life of our older pups throws these curve balls on occasion!! Hopefully he will be back to his spritely self soon! x

Prayers and good thoughts for Flynn! Hugs!
