Hi all

I heard back from the surgeon today, he does want to do CT tomorrow at our appointment. Then if all well, surgery the following day. He said he has done this surgery a lot and even if tumour in vena cava he can fix that. He thinks the tumour/thrombus may be pressing on the vena cava but hopefully not invading it.

Meanwhile, Flynn has been at local vet today for BP check. I just rang to see what that result was and the nurse said it ranged between 210-220 what the hell!! Thats higher than it was before he started the treatment. I am so gutted and feel sick for Flynn.

Of course, the vet has gone home so I couldn't speak to him but the nurse said she would ring him and check if that was correct and get back to me.

Whoa... be sure to follow up on that. The purpose of the meds is to lower the bp so he can handle the surgery. Don't be afraid to hold off if the numbers aren't where they need to be. Keep us posted so we can all double up on our thoughts and prayers during surgery ok? Kim

Darn Blood pressure! Definitely, keep us posted. I like the surgeons confidence though.

I am thinking about you and Flynn.

Prayers sent your way.

Well I did hear back from them and BP was that high, they said he was shaking an awful lot when they did it which made it hard to get an accurate recording. I have to increase his meds so I just gave him the higher dose, so I will be watching him like a hawk today.

I just picked him up from Mum and Dads, they look after Flynn while I am at work and have done so for his whole life so he is just about at much their dog as mine. My 80 yr old Dad and Mum said a lovely goodbye to him, telling him to be a good dog and come home soon all well, petting him... broke my heart. The university pet hospital is 2 1/2 hr drive away, so I will stay down there if he has surgery but don't have any other family there. They want him down there early, so a 6am start for us.

I am keeping it together with Flynn because he only needs happy vibes right now and I am going to continue to be positive!

Thanks for your good wishes, I will definitely keep you updated - taking my laptop.

Trish and the hopefully soon to be cured Flynn :)

i am wondering if the surgeron will do surgery if the bp is still high.....they may wait to get that stablized......i would think(??) maybe they are planning to do CT scan only?
keeping you close in thoughts

Yes I agree about postponing surgery till he is right Kim and Skye, but I have a few doubts about local vets BP taking skills. He keeps him there a few hours and won't let me stay which I would think would help Flynn be calmer. He hates it there. Will see what the BP is tomorrow.

The local vet had apparently contacted specialists but spoke to the physician vet not the surgeon who I spoke with earlier in the day. I think the physician must be same as your IMS and she was the one he saw last month and had been instructing re BP meds.

I had been so hopeful as last BP about 10 days ago, had dropped to 160 so this is a real kick in the gut :(

Trish,

I am sure the surgeon will be checking his BP at the time of the CT scan, especially since it has been elevated. My thoughts and prayers to you and Flynn. Hang in there and keep us posted.

Hugs,

Tina and Jasper
