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

Maybe the surgeon will let you stay with Flynn when he takes his BP, so it won't be so bad. You could calmly pet his head and get down to his level (if he is on the table) and just sync your breathing to his, calmly so that he knows that is what is happening and then gradually slow yours down. Not sure if that will work or not, but it might help his anxiety and give an accurate BP reading. (oh practice this a few times at home before going too)

Good luck!

Hi Trish,

Let us know what transpires today, especially if they decided to go ahead with the surgery. I hope the BP is down and this was just a bad reading from the vet yesterday.

That image of your mom and dad telling Flynn bye yesterday is so, so touching. It is just wonderful that your folks love him that much - what a lucky boy to have the whole family on his side!

Your K9C family is by your side all the way. We will be fluttering around you as you travel, sitting with you as you wait for word on what happens next, watching over the shoulders of the docs and techs working with him, and guarding you in your dreams. You are not alone today, Trish. Never alone.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

PS. I vote for a nice Sushi dinner tonite. Not sure what everyone else will want, but that's MY vote. :p

Trish-

I am thinking about you and Flynn. Hopefully, you are both sleeping well. It it 2:30 a.m. In NZ right now. You are 18 hours ahead of me. I will be on here waiting for your updates. I wish I could physically be with you, so you didn't have to go alone.

Your parents sweet talk with Flynn is very touching. He is one loved little boy:)

I just wonder how the vet gets an accurate reading on our dogs since they tremble with fear and pant heavily. Chey does the same thing and I can't even comfort her while at the vet. I suggested they take Chey's in the back of my SUV, but the vet wasn't going to be there and the assistant took her BP. I guess they give some lead way on the BP for the increased rate from fear. I think she said she could see 180 in the case of Chey's fear, but 244 was too high.

Like everyone else has said, I am right here with you and Chey gives Flynn a big paws up;)

Hugs and prayers,

Ro and Chey

How lovely to read your posts of support, thank you so much for that. I did have friends who wanted to come with me, but me being me wanted to go on my own to process this and then deal with everyone else.

It is 5.40am here right now, have slept fitfully to say the least :mad: but just having a nice cup of tea, gathering my thoughts and will get ready to tackle what the day brings. Flynn, slept fine! He does not seem to be suffering from increased dose of BP meds.

He is not allowed to eat in preparation for his scan, I forgot to ask the vet about giving his meds on empty stomach. I am going to give the BP med with a bit of water and squirt it in his mouth, but will hold off on his Previcox and supplements... any thoughts on this?

Thanks again for being here with me today, what a fabulous lot of people I managed to fall across when searching the net for advice xxxxx

Good luck today!! Hope everything runs smooth for you two.

Thinking about you guys. I think it is about 10 a.m. there. Hoping for good news.

Hi Ro, he is in having his scan now, so i have 3hrs to kill in this city before results in. Just in a cafe having late brekky as did not want to eat in front of Flynny. Fiddling with my phone and found this app and surprisingly can log in. He pretty good this morning, I saw surgeon and he is confident about surgery but clearly outlined risks involved, he has done alot and i even asked if any dogs died on him doing this, and relieved to hear none. Will keep in touch, looks like good stores around here but not in mood for retail therapy

Just got home from work and checking in to see if any news yet about Flynn.

We're all with you Trish! You have tons of family and friends I am sure who are awaiting the news with bated breaths. Including us!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly muffin

Oh and HOLY a CT scan is $1000.00!!! Cripes i spend more on his health than mine, but he worth every penny! He has specialist anaesthetist there to sedate him because of risks so was relieved to hear that

WOW! That's a doozy and a half.

You still breathing? Hope the shock didn't do you in!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
