Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hey Trish
Decided to break out and visit you and Mel on your page!Not so great navigating around on computers.Your breakfast sounds delicious-Flynny def deserved some bacon!:).Enjoy your weekend and hope Flynny has fun at the pet store with all the animals!
I had a blah day today but it is Friday,just 2wks today since he has been gone.Plus the weather didn't help since it was cold,windy,dark and depressing.I'm looking for those signs from Fella a little too hard.I had just taken a plant out of my car and when I returned I saw the most perfect ball just sitting beside my car.I got so excited-it was as if Fella just placed it in the perfect position for Grace to find it!Then I realized it was the foolish new ball I had bought for Grace on vacation that must have rolled out of the car while I was taking out the plant!:D.Have a great wknd and nice seeing you on here during these hours!

Hi Sharlene, Patty and Naomi
Yes it was the big 5 month anniversay! Whoop whoop, Flynny is still in the house! Not without its hiccups, but so worth it for us!
We went visiting this afternoon, to see my friend who has just got herself a new puppy, Cooper is a Silky Tzu?!? Who knew! haha never heard of them before. But he is very cute and very energetic! Flynn is now his idol, he followed him everywhere they romped and wrestled, chased balls and had a jolly good time. Cooper's Mum was a little concerned at one stage when Flynn had his whole throat in his mouth, after all she had just watched Flynn decapitate a stuffed bunny and was scared for her baby :eek::eek: but he was really gentle on the whole, except for a bit of attempted humping... dear lord how embarrasing was that haha. I put up a few pics where Flynn took young Cooper under his wing showing him how to shred his toys!

Hi Trish!
Remember me?! I have been sooo busy with work and other things the past couple of weeks, so tired of it. :mad: I feel so bad I haven't been been on the forum much, but have been reading along as much as I can. But I have to say I am SO pleased to read all of Flynn's wonderful lab results!! You must be so relieved. I am especially happy to see how much the UPC has gone down. ;) I was kind of suspecting that the elevations were BP related for Flynn, and it looks like that is the case. Way to go Flynny!! How weird that the 3.57 result that he had previously is exactly what Jasper's was the last time, which prompted us to start treatment.
I hope you are having a quiet weekend and no more bird incidents. I would have ran out of the house too with a frantic bird flying around. Hope you got all the poop cleaned up ok, what a job that must have been! I have a couple of bird stories for you also, will need to post about that later. Lets just say that Flynn and Jasper could be related! :eek:
It sounds like your Mom and Dad are feeling ok? Are there any further results with your Dad's tests? Sorry if you posted and I missed that.
Jasper's follow up appt is this morning. He will have his yearly "physical" , heartworm check, etc. He will also get all his bloodwork rechecked, liver and kidney profile, chem profile, electrolytes. Not sure if we will recheck the cholesterol/triglycerides yet, or get another baseline cortisol, I will have to see what the vet says about those. And of course we will be rechecking the dreaded UPC. So I am feeling a bit anxious. This is the first check of everything since we started the prescription food and meds. But I am so encouraged by Flynn's results, I am hoping Jasper will follow his lead!
I need to make a quick post on Jasper's thread to ask for everyone's prayers for good results for my boy today, and will be back on later. My goal today is to get caught up on everyone and do some posting. Geez, I hate to feel so out of touch, I miss everyone around here! Thanks for checking in on us, we appreciate it! And congrats on Flynn's anniversary, he is a trooper.
Huge hugs from me and Jasper, and give Flynn a scratch from me. :)

YAY IT'S TINA!! I always get a smile on my face when I see a post from you!!
Ohhhh I am going to have butterfly's in my tummy until we get Jasper's results in. So nerve wracking waiting for them too. GO JASPER, GO JASPER.... we are the cheerleading squad that will be with you at the vets today (being ever so quiet, NOT!). I was pretty stunned in a good kind of way to get Flynn's results this week so fingers, paws, toes, legs, tails all crossed for the same good report for Jasper!
So nice to see your post Tina, I hope things are going ok in your life at the moment with your family. My parents are behaving just now! I have spoken with the Urologist who will see Dad soon, it is a tumour in his kidney but we do not know how long it has been there. So the plan is to watch and wait for another six months, rescan and see what is happening. He is 80 and had a small stroke after his last surgery for hip replacement so we do not want to rush in if it can be avoided. It could have been sitting there for years not causing any problem. My initial thoughts were GET IT OUT! But after speaking with urologist and going through the CT scan with him, the tumour is on the small side, nowhere near vessels and no sign of lymph node involvement so for now I agree with this plan of action. I told Dad, he is just copying Flynny! They are still going for their daily walks and he was off at bowls today, so still pretty fit and long may it continue!!
OK, I am on tenterhooks with you now, I will be checking in first thing in the morning (about 8 hrs from now) so I will be hoping to see some news... no pressure though! :D:D:D xx
