Re: Flynn 11 y/o Foxie Cross - Right adrenalectomy, 3rd Dec 2012 for Pheochromocytoma
Hi all
I am finally back, what a week it has been. Had my niece staying to help the kittens settle in
Never had so many visitors I don't think it is me and Flynn the attraction but the new bundles of kitten cuddliness!
They are so adorable and such different little personalities, just loving getting to know them. I have put a few pics in the their album. They snuggle up together, but when they playing they kick the living daylights out of each other, I am assured this is "normal" kitten play lol but the wee blue boy Beaudy gets a bit rough with his more dainty sister. I caught him with his paws around her throat, said don't strangle your sister you little bully!
I am introducing them slowly to Flynny, first few days when they up high on their kitten tree I would let him walk in the room, once the hissing and spitting from snake cats died down I took him out, to this morning I had all 3 on the bed together, with Lozz chasing his wagging tail and Beaudy going up nose to nose. Flynn does have rather an unnerving stare he gives them. So while we are making progress nowhere near the stage of leaving them unsupervised.
Plus poor Flynn went and had that cyst on his shoulder sorted out yesterday. He had a local and sedation, then Mike called and said he needed him slightly deeper as the cyst was so big and it needed to be deroofed then lots of subcuticular stitches so there was no dead space for it to refill. Turned out there was 3 bits of fatty tissue and a nodule in there, nothing looked suspicious thank goodness. He didn't need to be intubated and came through it like a champ. Although I did have a very vocal boy when he got home, telling me all about it and demanding his missed lunch then his dinner. That temgesic does it to him every time. The seroma was refilling with 150mL of fluid each time, it would only take 3 days to reform after we drained it and it was right on his shoulder and affecting his walking. So I had to get something done for the poor boy and Mike was very happy with how effective the light sedation worked for him, phew! For any new ppl reading, Flynny is now 14 and over 3 years since his adrenalectomy! Super dog
So thats about our news, I have another 2 weeks on meowternity leave 
so will try pop in more often!
Love Trish, woof from Flynn, meows from Loz and Beaudy xxxxxx

Stop worrying about what can go wrong and start getting excited about what can go right!
