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

Glad to hear Elle is up and about.:) I wonder what it was all about? we almost considered getting Zoe a kitten, a friend of mine babysat for her a long time ago and she had a blind cat. Well, Zoe loved that cat and shared her bed with him the whole week. The blind cat loved Zoe too. Was weird how they both bonded for a week.

Your beach vacation was incredible, I loved the coast line and everyone looked so happy. Ther perfect adventure.:) Your pictures were awesome.


Lazy nap days can do wonders for us:):):) I had a bit of a nap yesterday afternoon myself after a lot of running around in the morning and trying to figure out mom's taxes:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I hope you have a great week.

Hey Trish

Thanks for checking in, still really tough but that's to be expected. 5 weeks today since I lost her.

How are you and Flynn, any more rolling in poop tales? Hope everything is great with you

Big hug

Mel

Hey girlfriend, can you believe it, our snow is melting:D:D:D:D

I hope you and Flynnie have a long weekend planned. Luckily, I had the day off:):) Pups are happy and so am I so I am hoping you had a great day as well, maybe a walk along the beach:)

Wishing Flynn good luck on the ninth, Zoe goes in not that long after that. Our vet took off for vacation next week, did not matter for us though.;) :rolleyes: Cant talk to her anyway:mad:

love ya and thanks for checking on us

Hi everyone!!

Thanks for popping in, I swear I posted on here yesterday. Ever since I turned 50 I seem to be having WAY MORE senior moments :D:D

Not much news really this week, apart from a little loose poops. Don't know what causes them he was good in this department for a few weeks and is not real bad now, but his toots yesterday were foul and sure enough on his walk last night out it came, like a cow pat! Appetite fine though. His poops have been a bit off since our beach trip when I know he got a fair bit of food he shouldn't have.

Back pain a bit of an issue, I need to talk to vet about this as well. He finished his introductory course of Pentosan. I have him off the Previcox now which is good for kidneys and he is not as bad as he used to be but still stiff and slow walking up the step into house.

But these are little things, he is perky, and enjoying life so that is the main thing :D:D

We do have a long weekend for Easter, four days off for everyone YAY!!! Except I will go in a few hours today for a catchup on some paperwork. Think I will have the family around for an Easter Feast tomorrow. We are not particularly religious, but we do like chocolate easter eggs and hot x buns!! :eek::eek::eek::D:D:D

Hope you all have a nice weekend with whatever you are doing and any pups under the weather are feeling better xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Glad Flynn is doing well:)). Hopefully, the belly is better now.

Glad Flynn is enjoying life and doing well. Keep it up, Flynn!!!

Hi Trish!
Happy to hear Flynn is feeling well and enjoying himself. Just wanted to pop in and wish you Happy Easter. I hope the Easter Bunny was good to Flynn! :D

Hugs,
Tina and Jasper

Hope you enjoyed the long weekend. We had 3 days off here and I loved it! Today was very hard to get back into the grind of things again. ugh.
Flynn is such a funny guy. He's just sticking to the plan. What a good boy. :) :) :)
Have a good week!!
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hope Flynn's tummy is getting better! Sending healing hugs!

Hi all

Apologies for not being around much lately, lots going on here with one thing and another.

Thought it was about time I did an update on Mr Flynn for you all though :) His tummy has been giving trouble on and off for since we went on our little beach holiday. He has had loose poops, some cow pat consistency :eek: not watery, normal colour, bit mucousy. He has now vomited x4 over that time frame, once eating too much grass, I have been putting extra water with his meals to up his fluids and he vomited twice after drinking about a cupful plus his dry food floating in it. But on the weekend he had normal poops and I thought he had come right. With all that going on he has not lost his appetite and been pretty perky.

He was scheduled to go in today for his monthly checkup, BP, UPC, Bloods and clipping his nails. He woke me at 4am this morning (I am not used to this cush Mom's, I don't know how you do it!) he wanted out, did a big soft but formed poop. Then up till 6am he wanted out another 3x till the poops were cow pat again :confused::confused: He had to fast for his bloods today (cholesterol plus others) so had no breakfast, just as we were leaving he vomited, partially digested food. My brother is up visiting my parents at the moment, so Mum had cooked a big lamb roast with all the trimmings for dinner last night and he had a fair few table scraps including pumpkin which i though would help! So dunno if that is what set him off. They said he has been good at the vets today, hungry, no more pooping so hopefully it will settle down again. Vet thought he looked good, no weight loss. He said if it has not come right in next two days he is going on Metronidazole in case he has picked something up. I took in a poop sample for testing :eek: plus a pee sample :eek:

Soooo onto testing today, one problem was when he puked he probably brought up his BP pill. Hard to tell really, but did not want to give it again in case he hadn't and his BP was up, 170-180. One at 215 :eek::eek: which vet discounted. Vet thought most likely due to him being unwell earlier in day plus possibly no Amlodipine on board. He had his toenails clipped and I checked and he had a bit of dried blood on one so they must have gone wee bit short, so bet that put his BP up too!!! So vet wants to recheck BP in couple of weeks. Plus he is emailing IMS again for feedback.

Urine similar to last time on their in house testing, 3+ protein (actually was 4+ last time so maybe bit better) UPC has been sent to external lab so awaiting that result.

These bloods are all inhouse too and have been sent to external lab too. I never really trust the in house ones.
Renal function good, BUN 5.12 (3.6-10.4), Cr 73 (53-141)
Liver high still ALP >1200, ALT 433 (10-120) highest its been, choleseterol >10.3 which is high as their machine goes. Protein, albumin, glucose all normal.

So mixed bag really, he is contacting me tomorrow with confirmed lab results and ongoing plans. Wish his tummy would settle down. Wish his BP would settle more, that worries me pheo is back.

It's all complicated by me flying to Australia for a conference in two days time, not back till the 22nd April. Flynn is off to Mum and Dads, so hope he will be ok. Vet happy for them to take him in any time if they are worried and I will be on the phone every day. Plus poor Dad has just been diagnoised with a probable renal tumour and abdominal aneurysm so awaiting CT for him to look at what can be done. I was going to cancel my trip but they all said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo so I am going, least it is only a 3 hr flight back if anything turns to custard with Dad or Flynny.

So will keep you posted with any updates, hope your all doing well and if not I am sending loads of hugs. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
