I am so glad he ate. No matter how it comes out the other end, I always think it is reassuring if they have an appetite!
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Thanks Leslie and Marianne... yes he sure had an appetite so like you say that has to be good. He is tucked back up in bed fast asleep. I will give more Tramadol in an hour and see how he goes. No likey bright yellow poops :eek::eek:
He looks such a mess in the light of day. With all his shaved bits and bit of blood, he needs a good clean up... maybe later this morning a gentle sponge down will help

As poor Flynn the patchwork dog. In the cold light of day does it really matter his he looks he will always be gorgeous. I think mike is right about the diar and also a touch of stress causing it being away from mum :D
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
I think Mike is right about the poo, it will turn right as far color soon as our boy gets enough food into him.
so glad he is eating.
waiting for our next update:):):):)

Considering what all Flynn has been through, what's a little mustard poo between friends!;) He's up and about and eating/drinking. I trust Dr. Mike. He has been right numerous times before. xxxxoooo

Oh my, hope those poops clear up to a nice brown color instead yellow. How is he doing now?
hugs

Hopefully he'll feel better quickly.

Hi!
He has improved as the day has gone on :D, no more nasty panting and no more diarrhea. No more poop at all actually, so hopefully might be a more normal one in the morning. He is eating and drinking really well.
I have him in a t-shirt as I did spot him trying to scratch, he seems comfortable wearing it.
Wounds are good, will give him a sponge down tomorrow, not much ooze from drain that I can see. Still having his Tramadol 6 hrly which is keeping him reasonably comfortable. His Meloxicam will have worn off by now so I will set alarm to wake up in the night to give his 2.30am dose and we can keep on top of it.
It has sure been wonderful to see him improve over the course of the day. I do have some gory photos of the wounds but haven't put them up here as do not want to gross anyone out :p Here are a couple of the less gross ones! He has had visitors and was happy to see them!

http://www.k9cushings.com/forum/albu...pictureid=7003 shows his Mohawk and tops of the side wounds, underneath and around legs there are 9 separate incisions. :o:eek:
So overall very pleased with him, he is such a little goer, last time I let him outside he went to break into a trot but ouuuuchies, stopped that pretty smart. I have noticed he is not limping from that front shoulder already, so that is good!! Makes it all worth it. Well early night for us and hopefully a better nights sleep! xxxxxx
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
I am so glad he is already improving and the fact he is not limping is out of sight wonderful:):):):):)
Oh Trish, the picture of him in his blanket is beyond precious.
Keep up the good work. I hope your headache went away
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
What a trooper he is! So glad to awaken this morning and read such a good report! :)
Hope you are both snoozing away peacefully!!!
