I'm glad that one you have a plan in place that you are comfortable with and second that Flynn is responding so well and his BP is coming down.
Woot Woot! Keep it going Flynn! Trish you may now sleep. :)

Re: 11 y/o Foxie cross - adrenal tumor, Pheochromocytoma? - possible surgery
Hello Sharlene and Molly Muffin!
You are a sweetie for checking in on us :) Flynn now has a confirmed appt for next Tuesday with his surgeon. I rang to ask the receptionist today if he needs to be fasted for scan, she said at this stage surgeon just wanted to review his case and see what is needed. The the other specialist vet he saw last month was a physician vet so the surgeon has not seen him yet :rolleyes: I explained that we have to travel a long way, and if he does have surgery I need to sort out work committments here and get longer off. She did not know what to say, so she is going to ask the surgeon to ring me so hopefully all will be sorted soon. I had been expecting CT +/- surgery.
But Flynn is good, his Grandad took him for a walk at the beach today and he really loved it, (it is off leash area) he wanted to run and play :D:D and not go back on his leash.. naughty foxie
Hope all good with you and the baby!

glad to hear pooh patrol is going well. lol. Libbeys 100% is exactly what i use. My girl is 16 pounds and she gets 2-3 Tablespoons each evening. slightly warmed. :)
so you are having a CT scan and meeting with surgeron in regards to surgery...and this is adrenalectomy surgery correct? I will gladly share our experience with you if i followed thread correctly. What you can expect, how to help you prepare before, during and after. Shysie has facebook page...lol, and actually if you look for her page, you can go all the way to when it started prior to her surgery and read practically the entire journey and view photos and videos and stuff. LOTS of photos...i cant get albums regardless of how few pictures to post on forum, so i share lots from there on here. anything i can do to help i will gladly try and do so. i do know you are in the best forum ever, forever caring true loving friends surround you........we all just call them angels cause that is what they are. :)

So glad to hear Flynn was playing on the beach. Sometimes you can't even tell these pups are sick. I am so happy you are getting good news. You and Flynn so deserve this:)
Please, please, keep us posted. Big prayers for you and Flynn.

Hi Stormee - yes I am hoping he is fit for adrenalectomy. He has the appointment with his surgeon next Tuesday. We have not met with him for a year since he did Flynn's liver resection. I have already liked Shysie's facebook page and the updates on there and on here! So have picked up a lot of tips on what to look out for... but will definitely keep you up to date with our journey! Hi Ro - they are so tough aren't they, when I found out about Flynn's high BP I was worried like you are about stroke etc, but he still wanted to play... so I think that has to be good for them as long as they not tearing about like mad things :D:D

Hi everyone
I just worked out how to put a few photo's in Flynny's album. We are ticking along here, Tuesday cannot come soon enough when we go visit the surgeon!
Flynn caught a bird this morning, nothing wrong with his reflexes :) Poor bird tho :( He also had a shower today, I am sure he thinks it was punishment for his wee baby bird murdering ways... but we have to him looking ship shape for the Vet :D
Hope everyone is doing good :)
