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

What is happening? We are worried!! I hope you are both sound asleep right now.;) Please update when you can. Xxxxx

Awww look at all you keeping watch overnight! Thank you so much. It is just 9am Sunday morning here and I have surfaced. Flynn is sound asleep in his bed :eek::eek:

Overnight he remained unsettled and crying on and off, I would just about doze off then hear a little cry, poor boy. Often it would be because he had an itch or he wanted to go outside. When he moved he seemed fine, perhaps a little pain in his left hip???? I saw him stepping it up and down a few times. He has eaten this morning with his usual vigour so now he is sleeping which I am very pleased to see, hopefully he sleeps most of the day.

I think I will take him to see Mike later, just to give him the once over to check nothing sinister happening in his tummy but I don't think so. :confused:

I think I might have dozed between 2-5am but otherwise not much sleep so I think it might be a nana nap this arvo.

Thank you lovelies for popping in, we sure appreciate it! x

Sounds like he might be getting a bit more comfortable. Happy that he ate. Naps are good! Hugs to you both.

Glad to hear he seems a bit better, I would take him back to mike just for peace of mind if he was unsettled in the night

It's like you go on hyper alert and pick up every sound which makes for a long night! xxxx

It sure does, a couple of times he was over by the front door wanting out and let out a tiny squeak and I am bolt upright! Lucky it was a warm night, wandering around outside in my nightie at all hours :eek:

Yes, I think peace of mind is what is needed today! Have just txt him update.

So you have been flashing the neighbours again :eek: the things you do for the wee man!

Is so good mike will see you on a Sunday, he is an awesome vet x

It sounds like he's on the mend. Maybe he just strained something?

Hope Flynny is getting better each hour today. Seems we all need to catch up on our rest. Hope you can !!

Haha Mel, the house at the front of me is empty and has been put on the market, so do any of you want to move to NZ and become my neighbour?? Least you would understand the late night nightie wanderings with torch in hand!! We are just lucky Mike was rostered on this weekend, they always have a vet on the weekends but there are 4 of them so they take turns.

I really hope this was just a simple strain too, I am leaning towards that but you know how the mind wanders with our babies, I have ranged from liver wound bursting, nodule bursting, heart attack, clot etc etc :eek::confused:

I bet all of your neighbours have seen you one time or another, I hear a noise and I look out :eek: emigrating would be nice, not sure I could take the heat though am a delicate English rose, who burns in a second, is factor 50 all the way :)

What time you got to take him? It's hard not to think the worst, especially when he is vocal like that xxx

That's the good thing about NZ Mel, it does not get too hot, not like Australia. We would all be dying if it hits 30 C here!!

Don't have a time yet, he has not answered my text yet so probably busy in clinic. I will ring now and make appointment I think.

It becomes stifling that heat, we can get the odd day like that but it doesn't typically last. I think we have had less rain so far this year and they are predicting snow for 3 months this year :eek:

Hope he just said come right in so you don't have to hang around xxx

They are busy, booked in for 3.45pm. Just took him for a short walk, he was fine. Pooped a big one, bit soft though and he had to do it twice to finish off little bits?!?! TMI sorry. I'm going back to bed for a while. See you all later xxxx

Is ok we share on here :D least he got it out ;)

Ages then, that's like 2:45 am my time so will probably catch you for an update in the morning

Have a good nap, hopefully you will both feel better later xxxxx

I hope you had a good nap, resting is good. Sending lots of good thoughts to you and Flynn for your vet visit, will check in, in the morning see how you got on ;)

Hi Sweetie,
I am off to bed in a few minutes. I'm really exhausted tonight. I think I'm coming down with something.:o That figures since I return to work on Monday.:o

I was hoping you would have posted the details of Flynny's visit with Local Mike. I guess it's too soon for that. I hope our boy is doing much better and I will check back in a little later. Xxxxx

Hi Kathy and all

I went and had a quick dinner at Mum and Dad's.

He is good, seems to have pretty much totally recovered especially now the temgesic is out of his system. Vet Mike was very happy with him, soon as he came to get us in waiting room he was sniffing around with another dog that was there and wagging his tail and Mike was like Phewwwwwwwwwwww he is way better! He examined well and we really do not know what it was, put down to musculoskeletal from the jumping off bed as it was so acute. I did ask about heart attack ... no, he would be sicker, clot... unlikely but could be as often if a little clot breaks off somewhere then it does not cause too much shortness of breath but Mike doubts that.

We went to the pet store where he terrorised the rats again, had to pull him away as he did put his paws up on the glass!! Then he said hello to the two pups in there and I got him a new mix, novel protein is lamb. It comes in a lamb/tripe/garlic mix and I got him lamb and potato biscuits to go with it. Will keep him on this and see if he tummy settles back down.

Caught up on sleep with a good 2 hrs this arvo and he and me are feeling much better! :D Yay thanks for checking in on us lovelies

Awww Kathy, that's no good your under the weather. Hopefully the early night does you good xxx

*yawn* it is after midnight here and just got home. I'm heading to bed, but wanted to check in and see how you and Flynn are doing. Looks like he has recovered and the medicine did him in. Glad the root problem though is better. Yep, musculoskeletal from the bed jumping sounds like the culprit. Nice to have some confirmation of that from local Mike.

Huggers,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Now I can go to bed because you checked in and I won't have to worry. I can go off to sleep with a smile on my face knowing that you got some rest and our boy is doing well. He even felt well enough to terrorize the rats! Go Flynn!:D I love it! :D xxxx

,

Nighty nite girls, hope you had fun at your party Sharlene and feel better the pair of you :D I think it will be an early night here too, but another short walk is on the cards for the boy and perhaps a bit of lying on the couch watching TV.... xxxx

Morning

Pleased to see he is feeling better enough to terrorise the rats, am sure that trip probably perked him up!

I forgot to ask you if you are back to work this week, hoping you have some more time off, is hard to go back after something like this so it's good you have mum and dad for babysitting, so he can't get himself into too much trouble without you :D

Mel
Xxxxxx

Glad to hear Flynn is better and that you both caught up with sleep. New food sounds tasty hope the boy enjoys x

Oh Good!!! Our boy is feeling better, terrorizing rats is a good thing:D

Hope you both got a good night's sleep and are having a good Monday! We will all be waiting for an update.

Hugs and love to you both Trish. I hope you will have a worry free week. Flynny, you get better real soon and no more worrying mum.:):):):)

Hi Trish-

Poor Flynn!! I am sorry to hear he is having a rough time, but seems he is getting better if he's terrorizing the rats. Poor lil guy having a couple of serious surgeries in the last year. I hope he is on the upswing now. I whimpered a lot when my gut was cut open too. Lol. I will check back in on him. Paws up, Flynny and hugs to you Trish.

Ro

Trish how,s Flynn today, I hope he continues to get stronger :)

Hello

Just wondering how you both are? Figured you have gone back to work and are exhausted. Hope all is ok

Mel
Xxxx

So what do you think Trish? Has Flynn made a complete recovery?
Hope your work week isn't too busy, but I know after being away for even a couple days, that mine seems to be very hectic.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hey there, how is sweet pea Flynny? How are you?

Popping in to say hi

Hope Flynn is feeling better every day! Are you back to work now? I took Kaibo for a therapy dog visit tonight! He was happy to be back at work :)

Any more rat patrol outings? Those darn rats!! Especially the ones behind the GLASS, are a menace that needs to be erased from the face of the earth!! :D:D LOL

How is our main man doing today? Did you return to work and how are you holding up? You've got to be exhausted! Xxxxxx

Flynn's already out and about...visiting the rats too!! Sounds like he's doing very well. So happy he's made a great recovery.

Barbara

Hi everyone

Thanks for your notes! :D

Flynn is doing well the past couple of days, enjoying being back at his Nana and Grandads through the day. He is still tired which is to be expected, it will be two weeks tomorrow. I think his tum is still a bit sore, laying on his side a lot. But he is enjoying his short walks, door is shut to spare bedroom and he is not getting on that bed anymore. I have put a pile of blankies in the lounge room so he is not tempted to jump on the couch and so far it is working.

It's another anniversary today, one year exactly since his adrenalectomy!!! Go Flynn boy!! :D:D:D:D

I have been back at work, but I am bit under the weather with an infection. I had to go to urgent medical centre last night and get antibiotics. I still have a temp tonight so hopefully the drugs will kick in soon. Trouble is I cannot just cancel work and take time off sick after these last couple of weeks off and of course work has all piled up in my absence :mad: Anyway, I will hopefully be better soon. If not I will make appointment with my own GP tomorrow. So early nights here, not hungry tonight. Mum had made dinner for me but could not face it so have snuck home and will just make scrambled eggs I think.

So that's us, still hanging in there!! Roll on the weekend! xxx

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY FLYNNY BOY!!! :D:D:D

Awww Trish, you don't sound good at all! I know that awful feeling of pushing through at work when your sick. It sucks! I am so sorry. :o Flynny sounds much better, so it's time to take care of yourself. I'm glad you went to the doctor. Hopefully the meds will kick in and zap that nasty infection. I know you are working, but rest as much as you can, okay. I'll check on you again tomorrow. Xxxxx

What a great milestone! I hope you start feeling better soon! Give Flynn a hug from Kaibo and I!

Well crud that you have joined the sick, not feeling well gang on the forum. :( Hope you get this infection knocked back soon.

Glad to hear that Flynn man is still doing well. No more acrobatics for a while. :)

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly muffin

Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Flynn!

How wonderful especially in light of all he has gone through since that operation. He's a real trooper, our Flynny boy! :cool::cool::cool:

I hope the ABs kick in and you are feeling better very soon. It's so hard to work when our babies are sick and doubly so when we are sick ourselves on top of worrying about them. Take good care of yourself at every opportunity.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

A whole year, wow:D:D:D:D Seems like only yesterday:)

Happy One Year Flynny.

We already took November off the 2014 calendar so now worries next year;););)

Feel better Trish!

A year. Wow. That's our Flynn though, going through a major ordeal and just flying along in no time, like it was nothing. Got to love that little guy. He's got the mojo!
I hope you are feeling better too Trish
hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin

Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Flynn!

We are so very proud of you and your mum...sending hugs, Lori

Flynn the wonder dog is recovering from surgery while having a first anniversary of another operation!! He's amazing!!
Hope you will be feeling better soon Trish. You went through a lot yourself and probably all that stress made it easy for an infection to sneak up on you! Take good care and try to get some rest since you have work on top of it all!! ;)
