On Christmas Eve we discovered a rather large lump on Zack's neck. Of course the vet was closed. So we watched. And waited. And found 3 more lumps on his body. We hoped the vet would be in the office on Saturday. Nope. So we still waited. And watched. And by this morning we had a sick little pupper on our hands.
Actually, it wasn't until last night that he started to feel bad. Know how I know he wasn't feeling well? Nikita walked by him in the bed and he didn't move. Ordinarily he would be all over the cat whenever he gets a chance. (Trust me, it isn't often!)
So when Dean brought him in to the vet he was running a high fever. But, still wagging his tail.
A few doses of antibiotics, an aspiration of the lumps and a day of rest at the vets and Zacky is home with us again. When Torrey and I went to pick him up she said whatever he has is just "weird." Which is exactly what you want to hear from your vet. About your dog who isn't really your dog but more like your second child. At least where Dean is concerned.
Poor little guy still isn't himself ... although he did give a growl or two to Zoey when she went near his food. Which caused us all to smile. Because maybe he is coming back around. Just maybe.

Glad Zacky is doing okay.....
How was the Transsiberian thingy????
i hope they didnt find anything bad when they aspirated the lumps... sometimes dogs just get pockets of fat.. it is weird but not uncommon.
