Aww thanks everyone! I have been well and truly spoiled, with lots of lovely gifts, but even better spending time with Family, Friends and Flynn - the three most important F's in my life :D:D:D

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Glad you are getting spoiled.. Happy Birthday!!!!:D

Happy Birthday!!

Thanks everyone, I feel so old now I am 50 :( Oh well, moving along it could be worse :D:D

I was playing on the ipad and just put a couple of new pics up of Flynn playing with his ratty old toys this afternoon, I am so procrastinating today... I have a big project to get finished for work and the folders are sitting staring at me on the table and I just cannot get started :mad::mad: hmmmm those dishes need doing then a walk I think :D:D:D

Oh Trish, Happy belated Birthday from me too!!! It sounds like it was a good one, I love your three F's, nothing better than that. And you sure can't beat an iPad for a birthday gift. I absolutely love mine, bet you will too. Don't sweat being 50. Trust me, it's not as bad as it sounds! ;)

Your plan for Flynn sounds excellent, it looks like all bases are covered. I am type A also, and feel most comfortable with everything outlined and addressed, no wondering. :D

Hugs,
Tina and Jasper

2 genuine reasons not to work: It's your birthday weekend, and it's Sunday.

No work allowed! That's what mondays are for :D Enjoy your walk!

Ok, just saw where you wrote Flynn was a little wobbly in my thread after his pentosan jab yesterday. Am wondering now how he is going this morning?

I'm not surprised that the vet may not know about the reaction, I never bothered to mention it to my vet, but it does happen. Ozzie has had 5 doses since October last year (the original 4 plus one 3 monthly booster), both my sisters have had dogs that have had it in the past (now both are watching over our angels) and both Molly (shitzu Westie cross) and Sally (Lab Kelpie cross) also had the tiredness and soreness/stiffness in the first 12 hours. My Dad also has seen it in his collection of poodles (4 of 7 have had cartrophen so far). But in every case, they get considerably better afterwards, so we found it worth it. As we all know, sometimes the short term bad is worth the long term gain.

I guess people may not notice it so much or put it together if they aren't comparing notes over a group of dogs, also many aren't as super vigilant as we have learnt to be. For some it can be mild, others can increase stiffness and soreness in painful joints, all I have seen have become sleepy, but until I started discussing it with my sister, I put it down to nervous reaction after the vet. So that would be my guess as to why many don't notice or report it to their vet, hence the vets potentially not knowing. In each case I have seen, it's always passed by the next day after a good sleep, so hopefully Flynny is ready to hit the beach again today!

Keep us posted. :D:D
