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

[addy]

I invited you to a party and then fell asleep

Zoe's urea nitrogen is 37 normal 8-30mg/dl. Do you know if fasting or non fasting affects their BUN? I cant seem to find any info.

Did Flynn get his puzzle? Did I miss the video? I feel like I have been gone forever, missing everything.

I had to put mom in rehab for a few weeks with the understanding that if she starts giving up, she can go back to her Frail and Elderly wing in her assisted living apartment. I agreed to rehab only with that condition. It stinks but she is so confused I was afraid she would forget she could not get up unaided and fall again.

Hope your weekend is going well, mine will just be starting.

Zoe's urea nitrogen is 37 normal 8-30mg/dl. Do you know if fasting or non fasting affects their BUN? I cant seem to find any info.

BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen, also sometimes just called Urea) is also commonly used to diagnose kidney problems, although it is not kidney specific, and values may be elevated for other reasons, particularly if you did not fast your dog for 12 hours before the test was done.

Tests used to Diagnose Kidney Disease in Dogs

It seems that not fasting can cause elevations in the BUN.

Yes, well I had a great time at your party Addy..... hope you managed to clean up all the confetti and ooops sorry about that red wine spill.... hope the neighbours are not too pissed about the noise But I could not help singing

[addy]

Thanks Lori, how come I did not see that? Geez, I am blind, I guess

Not to fear, Trish, the neighbors are cool

Did our Flynn get his puzzle? I am so wanting to see him solve it. I'll bet he is good at it and wont try to trash it like Zoe did. She figured she would beat it to death until it spit out something

I picture Flynn, studying it, very studious endeavor, I picture him doning a pair of glasses and so systematically saying

HA! That is how you DO IT

[Trish]

Hmmmm well you imagined that WRONG!!! He trashed it too, takes after Miss Zoe in that regard!! There is a pic in his album of him looking at it studiously but that is not how he usually approaches it, he bashes it, claws at it frantically, tips it over so its little drawers open to claim his prize. It already has scratch marks and gouges out the side of it.

I have got a video of him playing with it but I just have to figure out how to edit it and post on photobucket

[Trish]

I put a new pic of him up from yesterday, he is getting strangely close to the devil cat Elle!! It was a cold day and Mum and Dad had lit the fire so apparently there was a bit of jostling to get the prime position, that is his bed around at their house... I never knew a dog with so many beds!!

[addy]

Dang, and I had our Flynn pegged as Einstein pup, though he is still is Einsten, just more forceful about problem solving
We will call him Einstein on steriods with his puzzle, which is a pretty impressive looking puzzle.

LOL, Trish, I laughed so hard when you told me what he did.

[Budsters Mom]

I think that Flynny when he might actually like devil cat Elle, But he has to remain aloof and cool! I got your back Flynny. xxxxx

Love

Hi Mel!

Pretty relaxing which has been nice!! Rainy, misty old day here so I put Flynny's raincoat on and took him for a walk up the beach this arvo, was brisk to say the least and blew the cobwebs away His fur is all nice and soft after being in the rain on and off on his ventures outside!! He did roll in a dead bird wing up the beach but not too much damage because of the coat

What you got planned for today? Had a bit of a sleep in?
