Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
I hope you didn't misunderstand my post. I wasn't questioning your decision, just sharing our experience with lipomas. Squirt's never grew as large as Flynn's plus she was older than he. IF they had grown that much and had started to interfere with her gait, her time probably would have come much sooner as surgery was out of the question for her by then. ;)

Hi Trish,
I love that video of Flynny, he looks so cute. I love how he just looks right in the camera all close up! He does have some pretty big lipomas, I bet that one above his front leg does cause some problems for him. The big one on his side that you showed us, that looks pretty deep Trish, is it? It was hard to tell for sure from the video.
So happy to read how well he's doing overall, he really is a star. I completely agree with your plan for the surgery. I have the 26th marked on my calendar, now I just need to know the exact time. You know me Trish, I'm all about focusing all the positive energy at the right time. ;) We will definitely have all fingers, paws, and stubs crossed here as well. I am trying real hard to not be jealous about your upcoming time off. You so deserve it. Hopefully your work trips won't be too demanding. I wish we had that kind of time off here, I need to move to New Zealand I think! :D
I've been working on an update for Jasper, I better get that posted and then head to bed. I'm making a big effort to get to bed a little bit earlier since I've been so flipping tired lately. Have had way too much going on. Hope your week is going well and I really hope we can catch up a little bit on the weekend. Last weekend I was down in the dumps, and wasn't on the forum much, I was in pretty heavy duty worry mode. So looking forward to this weekend being better.
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo

Thanks everyone!! Leslie, I just wanted to put the video up so you all could see what I was talking about with his lipomas. I really wish he did not need this, not looking forward to it and I hope he recovers quickly. Thanks for sharing that about Squirt :)
Tina, that side one is quite deep. It is big but Mike thinks it will come off easily enough. The one on his other side that I kind of circled is smaller but it sort of wraps around the end of the rib. There is another one on his hamstring that needs to come off too, I hope he gets them all! Not sure of the time yet, but I will be sure to let you know, all your good wishes have helped him get through much bigger surgeries than this one, so I am sure he will fly through. I bet he will be sore postop though, poor pup.
I am hanging out for my time off too, of course I have heaps to do before then. I might go in on the weekend.. maybe :rolleyes:, they are swapping my office on Monday so I have to fit in a shift too... :cool: I might just dump all the boxes in there and sort it out when I get back. Only moving across a corridor LOL so not a big move! xxx

Sounds like it is going to be very busy couple days for you before your time off.
We'll all be watching to see how Flynn does with his surgery.

I will be keeping Flynn in my prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery.
My boys are pretty lumpy too it seems to be with beagles when they age, but so far my vet says leave them alone. I would think if they got big enough that it impaired them in some way, surgery would be the way to go,
HUGS to you and Flynn!

Stopping by to say hello and send hugs and kisses to you and our boy.

Hoping all goes well with Flynn's lipoma removal. I know he will sail right through...he is the wonder dog after all! :D
