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

I hope you didn't misunderstand my post. I wasn't questioning your decision, just sharing our experience with lipomas. Squirt's never grew as large as Flynn's plus she was older than he. IF they had grown that much and had started to interfere with her gait, her time probably would have come much sooner as surgery was out of the question for her by then. ;)

Hi Trish,
I love that video of Flynny, he looks so cute. I love how he just looks right in the camera all close up! He does have some pretty big lipomas, I bet that one above his front leg does cause some problems for him. The big one on his side that you showed us, that looks pretty deep Trish, is it? It was hard to tell for sure from the video.

So happy to read how well he's doing overall, he really is a star. I completely agree with your plan for the surgery. I have the 26th marked on my calendar, now I just need to know the exact time. You know me Trish, I'm all about focusing all the positive energy at the right time. ;) We will definitely have all fingers, paws, and stubs crossed here as well. I am trying real hard to not be jealous about your upcoming time off. You so deserve it. Hopefully your work trips won't be too demanding. I wish we had that kind of time off here, I need to move to New Zealand I think! :D

I've been working on an update for Jasper, I better get that posted and then head to bed. I'm making a big effort to get to bed a little bit earlier since I've been so flipping tired lately. Have had way too much going on. Hope your week is going well and I really hope we can catch up a little bit on the weekend. Last weekend I was down in the dumps, and wasn't on the forum much, I was in pretty heavy duty worry mode. So looking forward to this weekend being better.

Hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo

Thanks everyone!! Leslie, I just wanted to put the video up so you all could see what I was talking about with his lipomas. I really wish he did not need this, not looking forward to it and I hope he recovers quickly. Thanks for sharing that about Squirt :)

Tina, that side one is quite deep. It is big but Mike thinks it will come off easily enough. The one on his other side that I kind of circled is smaller but it sort of wraps around the end of the rib. There is another one on his hamstring that needs to come off too, I hope he gets them all! Not sure of the time yet, but I will be sure to let you know, all your good wishes have helped him get through much bigger surgeries than this one, so I am sure he will fly through. I bet he will be sore postop though, poor pup.

I am hanging out for my time off too, of course I have heaps to do before then. I might go in on the weekend.. maybe :rolleyes:, they are swapping my office on Monday so I have to fit in a shift too... :cool: I might just dump all the boxes in there and sort it out when I get back. Only moving across a corridor LOL so not a big move! xxx

Sounds like it is going to be very busy couple days for you before your time off.

We'll all be watching to see how Flynn does with his surgery.

I will be keeping Flynn in my prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery.
My boys are pretty lumpy too it seems to be with beagles when they age, but so far my vet says leave them alone. I would think if they got big enough that it impaired them in some way, surgery would be the way to go,
HUGS to you and Flynn!

Stopping by to say hello and send hugs and kisses to you and our boy.

Kaibo just watched the video of Flynn. I told him Flynn's story. He was very interested in the video. Hope Flynn is doing well.

Hoping all goes well with Flynn's lipoma removal. I know he will sail right through...he is the wonder dog after all! :D

Barbara

Stopping by to say hi and to give Flynny belly rubs. So at one pm on Tuesday my time it will be six am the 27th your time and you will be getting our boy ready???:):):):):):)

That means I have to check in from work to keep on top of things!!!!

Love you both

Hi all
Yay I'm on holidays! In Sydney till tomorrow, having a fab time. Flynny sounds like he is having a lovely time at Mum and Dad's while I am away. Yep Addy he goes in Wednesday morning first thing, so will update his surgery time when I know more. I want to see how he is first, his tummy had been a wee bit off just before I left so he needs to be 100% before we proceed. Thanks for checking in, I have lunch with an old friend then shopping on the agenda for today, hope everyone doing good and will catchup when I get home xxxx

Hi Trish,
Hope you're having FUN on vacay!! Will be checking in to see if Flynny will have his lipomas operated on this week. Hope he's feeling fine and getting spoiled by your parents!! ;)

Barbara

Hi Trish and All! I jumped in just in time to see Flynn is having another surgery. Oh my, that lil guy has really been through a lot. I'm sending positive vibes your way for a successful surgery and a quick recovery. I hope you are enjoying your time off.

Big hugs to you and Flynny boy.

Ro

I'll be checking on our boy from work tomorrow. He's our wonder dog, along with Kaibo, of course. We will all be sending healing energy his way and waiting for news, not so patiently.

Big hugs to both of you,

Quick healing Flynn!

Hi Trish,
I was thinking you were on vacay now, so happy to read you are having some R&R and that Flynn is enjoying himself at your Mum and Dad's. :) I hope his tummy has settled down.

Just popping in real quick to let you know that I'm thinking about you and our boy. I will be checking in tomorrow from work also. I will be watching for your update with what time everything will be happening so I can get my energy and positive vibes focused! ;)

Big hugs from me, Jasper and Shelby, and a belly rub for Flynn. xo

Hi all!! Ro!! So lovely to see you pop in :)

I got home tonight from Sydney, long day with delayed flight :p Thought Flynn looked pretty good, Mum and Dad said he has been quiet but OK. No vomiting, Dad not seen a poop on walk last couple of days. He goes in the bushes at their house too, bit hard to check on.

So I thought all good for surgery tomorrow, but then tonight after his dinner he vomited again!? So I am not sure what is up with that, he was hungry and wanted more food. No weight loss when I put him on the scale tonight, but I am not happy for him to have his lipoma surgery if he is still off colour.

I just send the vet a note that we have to postpone until he is A-OK! Hope he is not too annoyed at me, doing it at this late stage. But not good to go ahead with surgery if he is vomiting, don't want him to potentially aspirate and it would make recovery harder when his gut is playing up. So thanks for popping in to wish him well and I will let you know when we reschedule. xxx

Oh Trish, I agree with you -- since this is elective surgery, better to postpone until you can eliminate this worry from the mix. Hope you can get a good rest tonight, yourself!

Marianne

Hope he's feeling better today. Good move, Mom, to reschedule. ;)

thinking of you, is the reschedule for sure

Hi :)

Spoke to Mike this morning. He said we definitely need to make sure he is right before the surgery. So no problem rescheduling.

He said it sounds like mild IBD flare, as problems with occasional vomit started couple of weeks back after that vegetarian tooth treat. He wants me to watch him closely next day or two and see how he goes and he could squeeze him in tomorrow or Friday or even early next week. If still problems then maybe abdo xray.

Flynn looks pretty interested in my bacon toast right now so hope he is feeling OK! I did not give his liver supplement as on odd occasions since he has been on that he has done a few upchucks, won't hurt not to give it a bit.

Will keep you posted! xx

Well, we certainly want our boy in tip top shape before his nip and tuck! ;) Let us know when it's a go. Give Flynny kisses for me. xxxxoooo.

Thanks Kathy, he has done a big normal poop this morning so very pleased to see that!!

I can't kiss him at the moment he is busy :D:D ... he is demolishing his present from Australia!! But as soon as he is finished he will be getting your kiss! :) x

Well, those Wooly Mammoths are extinct you know. Now we all know why! lol :D:D:D Go get him Flynn!! :D

Absolutely agree with postponing any surgery to no risk and Flynn man is in tip top condition.

Sure he'll be right soon. Seems to be a hang on from that treat he had before you left. When something doesn't agree with him, it Really doesn't agree with him.

Hugs

Was just checking in but I see his surgery is postponed. You definitely have to follow your gut instincts (or Flynn's I guess. Lol). Hope his tummy settles down soon. Bye for now.

Good idea to wait until Flynn is in best shape for surgery. Hugs to your little guy!

Hi all, thanks for checking in girls!! It maybe today, he is going in to see Mike at 11am and then if is OK (which I think he is!) they may proceed. So I will let you know. Fingers and paws crossed!! it is just 8am here now, so a while away yet! x

Cancel above post lol... they just rang and want to reschedule to tomorrow and I have to take him in at 7.30am!

So that's 6.30 my time I will be channelling all positive thoughts around that time. Flynn you rest up today you have a long day ahead tomorrow then lots of pampering to come so you can milk it for all you can get :D

Yes, least you should know he is OK before you go to bed tomorrow night!

I think you are 17 hours ahead of our time. I have to keep checking in tonite but tomorrow I have to be at work at 7am- dont even ask why so I can't check in until noon 8/28.

paws up Flynn, I know it will all go well.

Will be checking in! I know he'll do just fine, he's a little trooper and rebounds from these surgeries Very well indeed.

hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin

Sending lots of love and healing energy to you and our very special little man. I'll be checking in from work tomorrow to make sure Flynny receives first class accommodations. No shortcuts for our boy. ;)

Please keep us updated. I know that he is in great hands with Dr. Mike. We all want our own Dr. Mike!:D xxxxoooo

Ok, so 7:30 am your time is 2:30 pm my time. (Same for you Addy :) ) Preparing to focus all positive energy! I too will be checking in from work. We have all fingers, paws and stubs crossed here, as always. I know things will go well, and I will be right there with you in spirit. Paws up Flynn!!

Hugs from me, Jasper and Shelby, and smooches for Flynn xo

I'm here, too!!!!!!

Marianne

Me too!!!!!

Here too!!

Sharlene and Molly muffin

So it's 4.20 am your time and I hope you are both getting some sleep. I ll be around all night

Paws up Flynny :D
