Too the vets, storm is not well

Today video is not as cheery as normal sheepdog storm is not well with a mysterious lump on her ribs
We rush to the vets and try to keep you up to date with what has happen in the last week and find out what the test results show and how treatments will proceed

[@nancyrea3863]

I will be praying for Storm. Keep us informed, please.

[@virginiaconnor8350]

I'm sure my BCs-over the Rainbow Bridge-are herding him around-just for fun-and teaching the other dogs there how to play Border Collie soccer- just for fun as well!

[@chiptaylor1124]

At 3:42 I recognize that look of concern on Sean's face. You can tell Sean cares so much for his dogs. I am sitting here watching with my Border Collie, Huck, by my side. These dogs are just so special. They are so strong and athletic and fearless but that makes you always a little anxious about what could happen. I am hoping for the best for Storm and a strong recovery. Thanks for sharing Sean.

[@harridan.]

hoping for the best. there's nothing like a border collie.

[@virginiaconnor8350]

Get well, Storm !My BC Gypsy Rose Lee had Old Dog Vestibular Disease first when she was 12. A vet at a nearby clinic did a pretty good job rehydration her and I had to give her a anti-motion sickness pill each day for a week. She got her strength back, but seemed to lose some of her hearing though and no longer howled with her cousin Bo Peep when our tornado siren went off on Wednesdays at noon. 2 years later, she had another attack and my boyfriend took us to a PetSmart. Bad idea, but she was 14.8 years by now. They put her down, 8 months after Bo Peep was put down at the same place (not for ODVD) I wanted to go back to the 1st. place, but couldn't afford it. I miss both girls so much. Any of your BCs ever get this and why was she the only BC of mine that got it? I hope I can avoid it if I can get another BC one day. Keep your lovely BCs healthy and happy! My girl's idea of working was making sure their "mama" (me) stayed happy making sure I had my walkies too and Tess and Gypsy letting me know when my glucose was not too high or low.

[@heathjames7154]

Totally get what you are saying. I've got two BCs- one tri and one BW. Love them both. Great dogs all around. Lost my prior BC to cancer and that is what I feared he was going to say. I have racked my brains trying to figure out why she got cancer at the age of eight. Broke my heart and miss her to this day. This breed is so special.

[@westzed23]

​@@virginiaconnor8350So sorry for your troubles with your dogs. Our one Cairn Terrier got ODVD and it was scary when the dizziness hit her. Of course we thought the worse. They kept her over the weekend at the vets and were worried she hadn't improved. We visited her on the Sunday and she was more perky and they told us she could come home on the Monday. We picked her up with instructions on feeding with a syringe but when she was home she well enough to be fed from our hands and let us know when she needed to use her papers. A few days later she was totally fine. She only had a couple of spells after that which only lasted an hour or less. Our dog had Idiopathic Old Dog Vestibular Disease and the cause is not known. It can hit any breed and as the name says it affects older dogs. Our dog was 14 and we had her another two years, and as I said only a couple of short spells. The vets said that if it lasted longer then they would like to see her to help with nausea and making sure she was hydrated. But she bounced right back. I would not worry about getting any particular breed of dog because of this disease. We also had her half-sister who never had any problems. I understand not having a doggoe around. We need some renovations and a new fence so we've decided to wait to get another couple of dogs, and it is hard not having a pet around. Hopefully you and I will soon have a dog around to love. ❤🐶❤

[@ECole-le7we]

Storm was eating grass behind you, which could mean she is trying to heal something. Thank you for taking such good care of her and for keeping us in the loop. Prayers up! 🙏🙏 🐾🐶

[@KellyBell-public]

Not sure about all breeds but Border collies eat grass (and even a little sheep poop) literally every day. It’s part of healthy digestion for them. I’m a shepherd in Washington State USA and am part of a circle of shepherds up here - we all have Border collies - they all do it and it’s perfectly normal. Nothing to be concerned about; I’d be more worried if they didn’t eat grass every day!

[@ECole-le7we]

@@KellyBell-public Thanks!

[@kmdionis]

I'm so relieved that Storm didn't have a twisted stomach. When that happened to my 11-year-old dog, she became instantly very sick. This happened on a Saturday so we had to take her to an unfamiliar vet practice. A second vet was called in to help with the emergency surgery. The next day she showed signs of heart distress. I was really scared. The vet believed it would help her to rally and heal if we visited with her, so she opened the practice on a Sunday for us. I was so grateful for this vet! We sat with our dog in the grass for about an hour, giving her lots of love like you're doing with Storm. My dog got through this awful experience and lived to be almost 16-years-old. It's a terrible feeling to have a sick dog. You can't tell them why they can't come home and why they're stitched up with an IV tube in their leg. My heart is with you and Storm. You won't lose my subscription if you don't post videos while you care for her. I like your channel even more since you shared this experience and your love for Storm. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@WindTurbineSyndrome]

Our pets always get seriously ill on the weekend not very convenient or cheap emergency vet call but they are family so I get it.

My dog is a pit bull. His 1st owner was a drug dealer who did dog fighting. When my dog came to live with me he was skin & bones. We had a lot of challenges with food aggression that took 2 yrs to overcome. Not an easy road, but worth it. He's a good pupper. 😊

I join others here and pray for Storm's recovery and success with IVF. What amazing parents you will be some day. God Bless 🙏

I hope that maybe sharing with your viewers gives you & Stacy some comfort as the good wishes come pouring in. I'm so glad the vet doesn't think this is something serious, I'll bet she'll be back at full speed in no time, unless she gets used to being a pampered princess & decides it's the easy life for her (not likely!!).

​@seanthesheepman5845 sometimes they just get lumpy fatty tumors. Happened with my niece's dogs

​@@LindaC616I think that's how my Gem (the Empath) died. She was ½ Aussie and ½BC. Ajax-son of Bo Peep and Tess's son JackBNimble-ate too much Kibbles&Bits the vet said. "Too much caramel colouring in it can cause liver cancer in dogs and humans."

[@LindaC616]

@@virginiaconnor8350 my niece's dogs' lumps were benign, though. With some dogs, they just happen. But now that I've seen the whole thing, some kind of bite or infection makes more sense, bc tumors, benign or not, don't pop up that quickly

[@pandoraalberts5267]

I'm sorry Storm has this nasty thing, I hope she is better soon. She is in Very Good Hands. I appreciate you sharing this, as I assume the vast majority of your followers are dog parents too and it is useful to know what can go wrong. 🐾❤️

[@draggonsgate]

First off, all the best to you, Stacey and Storm. To you and Stacey for being such good pet parents, and to Storm for a quick recovery. Owning a sick pet is so frustrating, since there's nothing you can do to make them feel better but take them to the vet. And, as with people, these health issues seem to come out of nowhere at the speed of light, blindsiding us. Please keep us posted on Storm's progress, and make sure you take care of yourself and your beautiful wife as well. Getting worn down doesn't help anyone!

[@malibu90265]

Oh Storm. I wondered if Storm had an elevated temperature? Eating is a good sign. The lump is quite large. How old is Storm? Knowing how stoic Border Collies can be, I sense that she is uncomfortable from your description. It is a stress to want to spend whatever it takes to save our dogs, but we have to consider our means to do that. Sean, my love to you. Do right by Storm. You have so much invested in an excellent dog. I hope that Storm is sorted out by the vet and goes on to do her good work and live a satisfied long life. The pain from these companions is completely outweighed by the love. When my Border Collie had a twisted gut it was urgent, life-threatening and the distress was obvious. The vet went in and untwisted the gut and the dog lived a long life. BUT, keeping a BC quiet for the healing period is an extremely difficult task because of the energy level and enthusiasm of these dogs. With love...
