Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Chey was on 2.5 mg of Amlodipine daily plus 15 mg of Enalapril at the time. She weighs a tad more than Flynn at 53 pounds. Once the BP dropped low, we quit the Amlodipine and went back to 10mg of Enalapril. She still takes 10 mg of Enalapril for her heart enlargement/murmur.

Thanks for that Ro, Flynny is on the same dose as Chey was then. Just halved and twice a day. Seems a lot for their size difference. I have googled it though and it is high end of dose range. He does not seem to be going too low, he is quiet alert, perhaps a little slower, but that could also be his arthritis bothering him now he is off the NSAID. I will take him in Tues or Weds for his BP check and see where we are.

Ok so I set my iphone to give me the time in Auckland. It says it is 12:47 Saturday and your green light is on:):):) irst I thought it was 1 in the morning:o:o:o
How's the project coming along? I have the wagon ready if you need a break.:D:D:D:D:D
I didnt even have to fight with anyone at the DMV but they mail the license now, they just give you a receipt. I got the new one with the federal stamp so I dont have to go back there in two years:D
shoot, hubby has dinner ready, i;ll be back
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hmmm Addy, at this late stage the project is still in my head... I am mind mapping, yeah thats what I'm doing. While doing that, I took Flynn for his walk, then to pet essentials to get his food and some toys, (he has already eaten the eyes and gutted one!) he took a look at the kittens and rabbits for sale and scared them with his ahhh enthusiasm so I had to pull him away quick smart. But he loved the puppies. Maybe I should get him one!! Then called in to the vet to get some of his special non allergenic snacks, pay their bill argggggggggggh and he is all booked in for BP/urine check on Tuesday. Then the groceries, then out to dinner. So here we are Saturday night and its still not done but tomorrow is another day and I will not leave the house till its finished!! Hope you had a good night and dinner was yum! xxxx

It seems like there are several others that have been posting about that over the past few days also. What is going on with that?? :( I haven't had a chance to comment on their threads yet, but will when I get a chance. Little Scoop is coming to mind at the moment.
I am happy to read that Flynn is feeling well right now, but I completely understand that nagging in the back of your mind. I am just praying that for him, all it is a BP issue, and once that is controlled with meds, the protein issue will go away. I am still very scared about Jasper's issues, and some days down right terrified, but am just trying to hang in there and hope that what we are doing is the right thing and will slow down whatever is happening in his little body. It is just so much to think about all the time for our babes, and I just can't ever let my guard down.
You are doing a grand job as a forum host Trish. Don't even give it a second thought. Jasper technically doesn't have Cushings anymore either, he has Addison's, and now kidney issues, and they have let us stay!! :D:D. And thank goodness for that. I remember asking about that a while back when we were trying to get the Addison's under control. I was looking for an Addison's forum like this, but didn't see one. I think there was an Addison's yahoo group like the one for kidney issues, but thankfully everyone has let Jasper and I stay here in our home away from home!
I can't imagine what I would do without all my friends here. And that is what you all are, my friends. Nobody else understands what we go through and how we feel about our precious pups. Fingers and paws crossed here also for Flynn's tests on Tues.
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper
I agree with Tina, I can't imagine what I would do, or where Norman would be right now, without all of the love and support for my friends on here. Nobody does understand what we go through ...
Very similar to what it is like having this neurological condition, one just can't imagine how it effects every aspect of ones life...It has taken so much from me...BUT I will never give up to gain more functioning and livihood back...for myself, Norman, Millie, my grandson, other family and friends.
You all will never know how much this site means to me.
Love and Blessings Abound to all of you.

Three months today you were all sitting here keeping me company while Flynny had his adrenalectomy. Cannot believe how time is flying! Hope we get another three, and another :D:D
He is having a good weekend!
A BIG THANK YOU AND LOVE TO YOU ALL

Three months today!! Whew, that did go by fast and I am so very happy for you and Flynn. Flynn has such a devoted and loving mum.
Love you both,
Lori
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Really, it has been 3 months? I still remember how calm you seemed, you are one strong "pet mama" as Skye would say;);)
Wow, 3 more months will be the start of our summer. I honestly dont know where the time flies to, Trish.
Happy Three Months Flynnie and Trish, with many more to come
Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Good luck with Flynn's trip to the vets today, hoping for good numbers for you

Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Good grief! 3 months! Where does the time go? Seems like it was just a couple weeks ago.
Okay, hoping for good results today!
