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

Yep, got him home and settled in his bed on the floor next to me.

The poor boy, he has 7 incisions and he got 9 lipomas out and a couple of the little warty/cysty things. He is stapled up, all wounds are open. He has a drain in the big one removed from his side. On Augmentin. Had injection of Meloxicam and I am to give him his Tramadol. He pretty sleepy and wobbly, did a pee at the vets but did not want to go when I put him on the lawn when we got home.

So he is all tucked up in his bed on a soft towel with blanky over him. Man he has a very weird haircut, where they have shaved him, looks like a very funky Mohawk down his back. He is out to it at the moment, hope he stays asleep for a good long time.

Mike said none of them looked nasty or suspicious just normal lipomas. The one on his front shoulder was quite dense and had trapped a nerve under it. That's the one that I said he was limping when he gets up, he said the nerve would have gone numb while he lay on it and that's why he limped a bit and it came right but that it would have just got worse. The ones in his back groin had popped through the muscle and the one on his other side was down to and around his lowest rib. Plus one in his back leg was also in the muscle. So he said it was definitely time to get them out or they would have gone on to give him much more trouble.

He said to offer him bit of food later, but he had 500ml IV fluids so not to worry if he won't drink. I have to call him tomorrow to let him know how he is doing. Mike carried him out to the car telling us what a good gentle boy he was (don't think the neighbourhood cats agree with that assessment!) but so pleased to have him home and all this behind us. I am looking forward to him feeling more comfortable without those big lumps affecting him anymore!!

Thanks for support today Team Flynn :D:D:D couldn't ask for a better support crew!xxxx will keep you updated and do some photos when he is feeling better x

So glad he's home and tucked in where he belongs. :p xx

So glad to hear this, the did need to come off. I bet he looks funky with his haircut but he can carry that off as he is a funky little man.

Sorry I didn't keep up last night but took my tramadol and zonked out but I see you were in capable hands. Go Team Flynn you rock :D

Awww the poor wee man, just took him out to pee which he did after standing there for a few minutes. His leg he lifts to pee has incision in the groin and also the back muscle of same leg, hamstring if that is what dogs have?? He limping and dragging it a bit, which is not surprising. I carried him out and back in but he looks so sorry for himself.

He slept a good two hours, then I made him a scrambled egg and he lapped it up like he was starving and got his usual nighttime meds into him plus gave him the tramadol.

Tucked him back in his bed, think I will be on the couch for the night as it is much lower than my bed and I can keep a watch on him much better and keep the lights dim so I can see what is going on. Hope the tramadol does not make him loopy, when I was giving it for his arthritis last year he only had 12.5mg, but Mike said to give him 3 squirts so that is 37.5mg... he can have up to 65mg so we kinda mid range for him. Hope he gets some rest now he has eaten and pee'ed. x

aww, this is the hard part but he will be right in a bit. Poor boy, but having them out will now make him feel so much better. I'm sure he will heal up quickly and be digging to China in no time.

Hope you are ok sleeping on the couch.

give our boy a sloppy kiss on the head or nose from me. I'll check in at lunch time, stilll have to work till 4pm today, I get to leave a wee bit early.
