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

REading up on the ACV, can spray it on with some other things added. Or put it in their food.

I am always confused about giving garlic to dogs, on many sites it is listed as toxic to dog but yet it is in so many foods and treats. Can anyone clear this up for me?

I hope Flynn gets over whatever is making him feel not so well.

Hi all

Flynn is better today, quite perky!! Maybe stopping the brewers yeast/garlic powder helped. Apoquel seems to be working, hardly any itching. Appetite back in this morning too so pleased with him! Hopefully no further episodes this week. He did not seem in any pain so no tramadol today. :)

Vicki, I am a bit the same as you. I know onions are a no no, gives them a weird anaemia. Garlic can be dangerous if too much is given, how much is too much I am not sure! So I am not much help for you and I am too tired to google :rolleyes::eek: bit of a shock to the system going back to work today so I am heading to bed right now and it is not even 9pm!! :eek:

Hey Trish - dropping in to say hi. Glad Flynn is doing better and the itching is receding. :)

Garlic is one of those things that a little is okay, too much is not. How do we know how much is too much??

Hay you

Glad that the Apoquel seems to be working I hate when they have the itchies :) and no tramadol great all pointing in the right direction, I knew Flynn man could do it :D

Big shock to your system going back to work ha ha hope you have a calm settled week :D

How is Flynn man doing with the itchies and with the off and on pain (?) issues?

Fooey on having to be back at work this week. I'm not looking forward to it either. :(

Hi Trish, I'm hoping, too, that all is good with Flynn! I've just spent a scary evening with Luna going through almost the exact same thing :confused:. She's had some mysterious orthopedic pain in the past, but no issues for a long while now. She seemed perfectly fine all day, then gave out a piercing yelp right after I fed her dinner, then turned all slinky and hangdog and went and hid in a corner, all trembly and breathing hard. Scared the dickens out of me, and of course right when the regular vet was closing. I got her to stand up and walk around a bit, but with a couple more yelps so I didn't push it further. Just looked up the nearest ER vet and waited for hubby to get home...:(

By then she had quieted down, though, and was actually sleeping, so we've been hoping to let things slide till morning. I just now roused her and let both girls out for a final pee, and although not totally right, she seems better. Even took the time to search for rabbit poop to nosh on :eek:. So I'm hoping the acute part is over, but still so odd. And I kept thinking of you all evening and wishing I could just chat things over with you. I am so awful in a crisis -- just get all panicky and brainless! But I kept thinking, "Flynny's better now, though, so you can do it too, Luna! Paws up!"

Sure hope things are better still in the morning, and most certainly that Flynn is still on the mend, too.

Hi everyone, we are still doing good so far this week. :)

But I am not very happy to hear that Luna is copying our Flynn!!! Marianne, was there any indication about what bit of her hurt?? It is so hard to tell isn't it. Sometimes it can even be hard to detect if it is musuloskeletal or something else going on. First thing I do when anything sudden happens to Flynn is check his gums, if they have not gone pale then not likely to be anything causing him shock. Then give him a run over with my hands and check if there are any spots obviously bothering him, watch him walk, turn his paws under to make sure they turn them back up again, can be a sign of back injury, feel his tummy to check it is soft, nothing around that could have bit her like a bee or anything??

Check her feet real well, just with that sudden yelp I wonder if she trod on something sharp or bent a claw back? Any blood?? Hasn't cracked a tooth when she ate has she?? What was she doing when it happened walking away from her bowl when she finished eating or just simply lying about?? They are such a mystery sometimes, but it sounds like she settled back down and was walking OK later on so that is good!! If I am not still up when you get wake up, please leave a wee note to say how she is. I know you will have her in to the vet if she is still not right for a proper checkup, but I am hoping it was just something simple that has righted itself. Why don't these blinking pups do these things through normal working hours?? Why, why?? :D Least you have the urgent vets available. Hope you got some sleep and she is just fine today. Anyway, I hope these things that run through my head in these situations can help :) and yes PAWS UP LUNA xxxxx

Hi Trish! We are up a bit early, because I heard the girls stirring and of course immediately got up to check on them. I had spent most of the night on the couch alongside Luna, but had crept up to bed for the last couple of hours. Miraculously, she seems to be right as rain again, at least for the moment! So I guess I will go ahead and give her breakfast (that's always such a hard call if I'm thinking she may need testing, but I guess I will go ahead...).

I will write more later as to her history of orthopedic oddness, but right now I am hoping this was a transitory episode. No jumping in the car today for walkies today, regardless! Thanks so much for all your suggestions and worrying about us. I will write more later on, while you and Flynn are snoozing away! ;)

Marianne

Your Up!! That was a fast reply :D So pleased all seems well this morning with your girl. She sounds like she is feeling fine, while you are going to need some matchsticks later on to keep your eyes open!! Hope the couch was comfy. I would feed her too. xx
