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

Reassuring to hear you say that Lori! I know the water intake is not meant to affect the result, but from having lots done now it does seem to in Flynny's case :rolleyes:

Picked up the apoquel, given first dose. Bit the bullet and had his bloods done too. Mike said he is over the weekend so will let me know results when they come in from external lab. Paw's crossed!

Hi Mel :D:D:D:D:D:D we will catch up soon!! xxxxx

Awww he's not well again. Trembling and walking slow. Dunno what the heck is going on with him, but my radar is on high alert :( Does not want to eat his breakfast but it has Tramadol in it and he only had a few nibbles. I gave him a squirt in his mouth in case it is his back. Just did a normal poop so don't think it is his gut. Poor Flynny :(

Hi Trish,

I am still at work, and was reading a bit on the fly. Sorry to read Flynn is not feeling well again. :( I will post more about everything when I get home, but my immediate thought was if you started the apoquel or not? If so, could that be upsetting his tummy at all?

I won't be home for at least another hour or so, but will check back in then. Big hugs Trish, I know how worrisome all of this is. xo

Oh no! I doubt it would be the Apoquel as is this the same symptoms as before ? Has his BP been checked recently, I'm still inclined to go with pain or infection but as his bloods were ok then I'm at a lose. Hopefully the tramadol will kick in soon and he,ll feel better. Has he eaten anything, his long is the shaking thing lasting?

HI Tina and Tracy

He seems a bit better. He only had one dose of apoquel yesterday, I heard him in the night scratching. I had put Tramadol in his food, he would not eat that. But I offered him plain food and he ate OK. Bowel OK. He just looks so miserable when this happens. I think he is a bit better with the Tramadol on board so will just give it regularly a few days. I thought last night he was a bit off too.. his in house bloods last week OK. MIke took proper ones yesterday so will see what they show.

I don't think it is the apoquel either as this is same as he has had last week too Tracy.

He just trembles, and the odd twitch too... like a wee jerk. I really dunno it it is his back... he does that shake like when they are wet and spray water everywhere. He did that before, you would think if his back was sore he would not want to do that.

If his back was sore, then i wouldn't have thought he,d be doing proper shakes like you describe. I don't know what it could be, is it case of waiting for the proper bloods, and keeping him on the tramadol till you can figure it out. Is it whole body trembling legs, body etc or a bit like the terrier shakes ?

Yes, I think that is what we have to do. MIke has not replied to email but if he is consulting with patients he probably not even seen it. He does seem a bit perkier now. When he is bad, he trembles all over, worse than his usual terrier shakes. I got him in his bed with the hottie on his back again anyway

They are such a worry aren't they times like this you wish they could say "hey mom my back, leg, tummy etc is sore" hot water bottle and rest sounds good. Hope mike gets back to you soon. Do you check his gums when he has these episodes. Sorry just going through everything in my head that I can think off lol

Trish I am sorry to hear Flynn is not feeling well and not knowing what is causing it has to be extremely stressful and worrisome. I hope and pray you get to the bottom of this quickly and Flynn gets over this completely.
HUGS to you both!

Yes I do, gums are fine. He just walked across the lounge and chased a fly that crossed his path! I have to go around to Mum's so better go get ready. He will be coming with me of course! Dunno what the heck it is. Will let you know how he goes a bit later. Have a good sleep Tracy
