Just got back from 4 hours at the Emergency vet with Storm. He had seemed somewhat off today. Then this afternoon started shaking/trembling non-stop. The only emergency vet in the are is in Reno so off we went.
He has a fever, which can cause the trembling (which makes sense since it happens to humans too.) Due to his history, the doctor did an ultrasound and he has another tumor on his liver – baseball size again :( I don’t understand how this possible since we JUST got one removed. She said it is not unusual for tumors to grow rapidly, especially if they are cancerous. She also did some x-rays on his abdomen/chest to check for fluid in his abdomen and other tumors. “Good” news is none showed up.
I need to try and get an appointment with his specialist tomorrow. I am hoping this doctor just can’t read ultrasounds or there is some simple other explanation for this that is NOT a tumor.
But Storm doesn’t feel good. Which is very sad because he was just singing and howling on Friday. And having a good time on his walk in the the bits of snow we found on Saturday. And he is the sweetest doggie in the world and deserves a lot better than this. And his Mom wishes she could make him all better. And is pretty tired of the world being such a f***ing unfair place.
I’m going to make sure he goes to sleep in his bed now and hang out with him. We both need sleep.

Oh, I am so sorry! I was just doing some work on my blog and saw your updated link.
I am sending you and Stormy positive and healing thoughts for his full recovery!
You’re both amazing! And Storm has the best mum ever watching over him. :D
take care,

This is very sad, but I hope hope hope that it’s benign like the other one. He was in such a happy mood!! I don’t understand. Hang in there Celeste – let me know if you need anything.
