And the good news keeps on coming!

UPC has gone down too.... (normal is <0.5)

26 Jan 1.5
22 Feb 2.92
5 March 1.9
9 April 3.57 :eek:
2 May 1.49

Vet said today when he got in touch it is obviously related to his BP control. But that is the best it has been since Jan 2012! YAY!!! So while it is still up, I will take it :D:D

HI again

How rude of me, I did not thank you all for your kind messages of support!! So thank you thank you thank you :D:)

I just thought anyone reading that last message who is not a regular reader of Flynn's saga might wonder what test I am talking about!! UPC or sometimes UP:CR is urinary protein creatinine ratio. When it is high it means there is excessive protein in the urine which is usually an indicator or kidney problems and can be a sign of renal failure so I was getting pretty concerned about it shooting up like it had done.

Mel - that BP result is good, Dog BPs are meant to be pretty simlar to human ones. So normal is 120 range. Before his operation Flynnys was up to 200 and over, so this is an excellent result for him!

YAY its the weekend!! Love it! xx

we are so happy for you and your flynny!!! we go back i think next month.

Double happy dance

What a great way to start the weekend with good news

Am hoping you get some good beach walks in before it gets too cold over there

Hope you had an awesome day and I look forward to the next installment of "adventures by Flynn" non bird edition :eek:

Mel
Xxxxxx

Aww thanks for your good wishes for Flynn and celebrating with me. Haha, I am sure there will be some new adventure on the weekend, never a dull moment around here!

It never really gets too cold for walking in NZ, I kinda like the beach walks in the winter weather, I can wrap up warm and watch the waves crashing in while strolling along. There is a walking path up the beach that our council put in a few years back which is perfect. Only trouble is cyclists are allowed to use it too, so they come speeding along silently in their lycra suits and a couple of times Flynn or I have been nearly bowled! Need eyes in the back of my head!

The worst we get in winter is cold rainy days, but it only gets below zero during the night. So we can have frosty mornings but never snow, so pretty lucky here in that regard. I am still in short sleeve tops during the day as it is still over 20, but heater is on tonight!

So thrilled for all the good news. I know how nerve wracking all this is.. poor boy been thru alot but hanging tough. Go Flynn!

Re weather... it is very strange here in the US.. winter wasn't all that bad until spring hit. What's up with that? It hits 80 and two days later it snows! Highs back down in 40's all this week. It froze overnight here - broke an all time record for weather this time of year. Ugh.

Take care! Kim

Hi Kim, thanks for your good wishes for Mr Flynn, he is hanging tough isn't he! Kinda surprised the UPC could reverse that quick with BP control, but there ya go! I am not complaining! :D

Still waiting for our first frost here, the weekend is meant to be warmish, so autumn is not looking too bad here, plus I kinda like it cooler at night, least I can sleep under the blankets! Flynn seems to move from his bed to his padded mat that I have next to his bed, but I drape my quilt over the side and each time I wake I make sure he is covered. I tell myself he has fur for a reason hahaha.. but can't have him getting cold.

If he got cold at night when he was younger he would jump onto my bed and burrow under the blankets. Awww nice, but he not coming up for a snuggle, oh no... he just wants my body warmth the little rotter!

Yay for good news. Isn't that interesting about the BP having an effect on the UPC. I wouldn't have thought of that as a side result of higher BP levels.
Have a wonderful weekend! Lets see what new adventures Flynn will have. :) LOL
