Storm's latest update
24 September 2026
**Storm’s latest vet update ❤️🐾**
Storm was an absolute superstar at today’s appointment! With help from me and her dad during the X-rays, she cooperated amazingly and didn’t need sedation, keeping costs down and meaning she didn’t have to spend the day drugged up.
The vets took multiple passes over her bladder and we got some incredible news — **Storm’s mass has shrunk by around 80%!** That’s just under 1cm of shrinkage in only two weeks on her current medication. ❤️
She’ll continue her current medication for another fortnight before another check-up, with hopes this can become a long-term treatment with fewer vet visits.
Today’s appointment was $250.51. Thanks to **$200 from Mike’s team at Kerikeri SPCA** and a very generous **$50 deposited directly with the vets yesterday**, we only had **51 cents left to pay.** The vets were just as blown away by everyone’s generosity as we were!
Storm also still has **$140 sitting untouched in her Givealittle**, thanks to everyone’s incredible support. This will remain available for her ongoing treatment and future vet costs.
And another bit of good news — after my partner disputed the redundancy, his employer has agreed for him to stay on, and he starts back at mahi next week. ❤️
We are completely overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, checked in, supported Storm and helped us through this. ❤️🐾
