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

I like this report:D:D:D I'm so glad Flynn wont be a vegan dog just yet and I think your vet makes perfect sense.

Our other IMS told me the same thing basically about Zoe's cysts and seems to feel the protein is coming from her IBD which is why his focus was going to be on diet, IBD and keeping her post cortisol as low as possible. That was the page I ws on too but keeping a nod toward the kidneys to preserve as much as I can.

Zoe had her first teaspoon of Keen today, will see what happens.

I hope you feel better now about transitioning Flynn. I think it will be fine.

it is just amazing how your litl Flynn is such a fighter!!! with all that he has endured and yourself it truly is wonderful :).hoping his tummy issues improve and that you can get some time to just relax and snuggle together ...such an outstanding mom you are trish .take care patty(milo)meka xoxox

Glad to hear that Flynn is continuing to do so well. I hope the new chow is too his liking and his tummy troubles settle soon. Many of our babies seem to have tummy issues:(. I love the way you continue to plug on with such a positive attitude.:) You are a great example for all of us.

Hugs,
Kathy

Thanks everyone :D:D

Well his food has arrived, I went and picked it up after work. It is called Anallergenic from Royal Canin. It smells. I gave him a wee taste and he liked it and gobbled it down. So have started mixing a few of the new in with his old biscuits and the venison and will start by slowly withdrawing the old biccies. Then over the next week stop the venison. Two weeks of fairly good poops here, hope I am not upsetting the apple cart by changing his diet now. I just want to settle down that inflammed bowel and I think it will make him feel better, it must be sore. I was lazy tonight and ordered a pizza and he was most aggrieved not to get any. But we have not been giving him any snacks at all other than his own food and Mum and Dad have been very good too which might be why he has been so good lately!

He had fun today leading poor Dad on a merry chase on their walk this morning. Dad forgot to take his leash (well he is a little forgetful at 80!), it is not a big deal as they walk up the beach in a safe dog walking area and Flynn is always off leash up there and enjoys his run. So they had a nice walk but then Flynn would not go back to the car and kept right on running well past it :D:D by the time Dad got hold of the little rotter he still could not tempt him to walk back to the car so he had to pick him up and carry him all the way :eek::eek: He is a good 30 pounds so poor old Dad was quite pooped lugging the little shite and all I could think of when Dad was telling me this tale was his newly diagnosed abdominal aneurysm and the strain of carrying that dog!!:eek::eek: I bet he won't forget his leash again :):)

Have a good Friday everyone! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh lordy! Poor Dad!! What a little rotter eh.

Well, I'm sure that Flynn feels like he's a deprived soul. No pizza, no curry. *sigh*

Hope the new food works out well and you get to have a nice long enjoyable weekend.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Yes he was a little rotter, but he just got his comeuppance!! Shower time Flynn boy! :eek::eek:

I just put up a photo of him sunbathing after the dreaded shower, relaxing to get over the trauma! :D He is still liking his new biscuits, I am using them for treats and half his biscuit allowance plus meat for few days. The vet nurse called this morning to see how he liked them, so that was nice of her. Have a good day everyone, Flynn has a doggy play date this afternoon around at a friends house... with the wee pup in the photo next to one I just put up! Fun, fun, fun! xxxxxxx

It looks like Flynn gave dad a run for his money! :eek:That'll teach him to take the leash next time!;) I am glad that he is doing well on his new food.

Hugs,
Kathy

Thanks Trish, now I want pizza! :( :D:D

Glad to hear Flynn is doing well and that the new bikkies seem to be a hit. Crossing fingers for you that he continues to like them and that his poor tummy settles down. Poor little tyke.

I saw a doggy t-shirt slogan online somewhere today that would suit him. "Little Monkey" Your poor dad! But I bet Flynn thought it was great fun. Hope you've had a great weekend and the week ahead is a good one.

Speak soon!

Hi Trish
Loved that you came along with us for the ride home last night-thanks!!And all I could think about was your delicious sounding key lime pies-Mel and I both!I just read your last few posts and laughed so hard about your Dad forgetting the leash!:D:D.I have alot of catching up to do as I was a passenger on the white van for about a week!:).

Romeo is a little love and though I could think of so many more names for him,the name just fits him to a T.He slept right beside me,under the blanket all night long!It was like he has lived here for years.He seems much younger than 2-he is like an energizer bunny,hopping,jumping and scooting all over the place.Grace is absolutely thrilled and Buster is watching from a distance,loaning out his BFF on a temporary basis!:).We are having a heat wave here-can barely stay outdoors for too long.No doggies on the beach as of June 1st so we will walk alongside it today.Romeo will be having a bath today as he smells a little too "doggy"!Give Flynn big hugs and kisses and hope his tummy is good with the new food.

Wow! Flynn is certainly a trooper, just like his mom.:) I am thrilled to hear that he's doing so well. :)Yes, the price for all you had done is very reasonable! Everything here is super expensive!! :(

Hugs to you and Flynny boy,
Kathy
