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

So glad to hear that you're both doing better. Have you finally shaken that nasty bug you had?

Yes, I think we should box up a few deep fried scorpions and send them to Flynny. We would remove the sticks, of course! Yum! Lol

Is that front leg limping something that he's just going to have to live with? We all have something as we age. Why should Flynny be any different? I love that boy and you too Trish.

Thank you so much for lighting a candle for my lizard boy. I loved your toast also, "Lizards for Dinner!" It made me smile. Oddly, he never ate the lizards. He loved to play with them until they stopped moving. I couldn't always rescue them in time. Buddy always dropped them immediately when I told him to. If it was still alive, it would scamper away. He would be royally ticked off at me if his prize got away. He would tell me about it for at least the next five minutes. lol Many lizards ended up in the lizard graveyard over the fence. :o

Buddy was absolutely obedient at all times. Rosie knows the commands, but only follows them if she's in the mood. Otherwise it's, "i'd rather not thank you." Lol. They are so different. Xxxxxxx

Hey Kathy!! You relaxing now you are on holidays??

Nah, I am still not quite right, but hopefully getting there. Back at work last week and that did not go well, but oh well hopefully this one will be better! :)

I think the limping may well be due to the lipoma over the joint, it is mainly his front legs. It has been getting ever so slightly worse over last couple of months. He used to do it occasionally after getting up, but lately I have noticed at the end of his walks he has it slightly. It is not enough to stop him running, no sirreee and he is on constant cat patrol and chases them out the yard if they dare to enter.

Hehe deep fried lizards on a stick may be more to Buddy's liking! I love Rosie's spunk, she is such a darling girl if a little daring for her own good!! Still, she is just a pup... Flynn was mad as a bat until he turned about 3! So there is hope for her yet, although I really hope she keeps you on your toes with her fab personality for many many years to come!! xxx

Yes, kicking back. My cough is finally gone. I had it for over six weeks! Right now, I'm just contemplating a nap. Lol I'm off until the 25th of August. Seven more glorious weeks! :D:p

Maybe you need more time off to shake that yuck you have? You are probably allergic to work! Lol

Take care sweet. Big hugs for you and butt scratches for my boy.:)

Nap sounds good Kathy!! You deserve a good break now after the year you have had, so pleased to hear you are chilling out and the cough has finally receded! Whooping cough has been in the news here too, with a lot of schools struggling with it. Nasty thing.

Flynny is looking at me with pleading eyes to convince me it is walkies time, so we are heading up the beach soon, I gave him that butt scratch and said it was from Aunty Kathy and he says yippyou very much :D have a good day Kathy! x

Hey Trish - my Ichiro has had a few lipomas over the years, and one was getting into the joint and growing under the muscle. It really started to affect him, so we had it removed. Do you think you'll have to do the same for Flynn?

Molly has one that is under a muscle too, but not on a joint, it is however very close under her front leg arm pit.
Vet said that at some point, if that one starts to cause problems it would have to come off. So, good point, the limping could be from that.

Yes, we think it is likely to be from the lipoma too. Mike is keen to get it and a few other big ones off. He is just so good otherwise at the moment I am pretty keen to let him have a few weeks of peace and no testing or anything like that. I want to take a week off when he has the surgery, so might look at it in a month or two.

Renee - I have cut down the apoquel to just once a day. He was meant to have it twice a day for two weeks, but I really saw a difference in him itching less so I reduced the dose after 8 days instead. Occasional itching, but nowhere near as bad!! Hip hooray for that!! x

Hurrah for less itches for our Flynny.:):):):):):)

I don't blame you for wanting to wait on any more procedures. It gives you both a well deserved break. That is something you both can use.

Lol, Koko was trying to dig to China on our bedroom chaise. I kept thinking about Flynn digging by the fence and wondering what the heck Koko thought he was digging--- silly boys:D:D:D

Enjoy your week, it is almost over for you!!!!

Hi Trish so happy to read Flynn is feeling better! and also glad that Luna is feeling better as well! Our babies can sure give us a lot to worry about at times.

That is awesome about the apoquel!!

I totally understand wanting to wait on the lipomas... my only advice would be to remove it sooner than later, before it gets too deep into the joint / muscle, making the surgery that much more difficult and painful. Ichiro's was down to the bone and starting to make the muscle separate. Recovery was not so good. :( He hurt so bad having all that muscle peeled back. I felt terrible. Of course, a month won't make any difference, and giving Flynn a break from the vet is understandable. I sure wish I could stick my head in the sand sometimes on all this vet stuff! It seems like one thing after another sometimes.
