The vet phoned and apparently they don’t completely understand what’s going on. Somehow Zoe “compromised” the port on the left side — which apparently in all the gazillion cases they have dealt with has never happened before — so they’re frustrated. There is still some air, so Zoe won’t be released tomorrow, it will be Wednesday at the earliest.
Zoe is restless and active so they are taking her for longer walks than most of their patients. Kaitlin is confident they won’t keep her any longer than necessary.
Kaitlin is also looking forward to getting Zoe home so she and Torben can deal with the problem of keeping her high spirits calm enough so she can heal. And presumably keep her and Tempi from their sometimes rough play.
It could be a lot worse! Fingers still crossed. Thanks for all the good wishes.

what fabulous vet care…but I guess this is saying that K & T are back home, whilst Zoe is with grandparents…
No, Kaitlin and Torben are with the grandparents and Zoe is about an hour away at the trauma center. Kaitlin and Torben are taking extra vacation time because home is hours away — as I recall it always takes them at least five hours, and often a lot more than that because of the traffic. It’s a real mess.
Oh no. Poor girl. The worst is that they don’t understand what is going on.
The new picture of her is so sad. 🙁
What a stressful time for the family!
Yes!
oh thank you for the update on little Zoey.
and I agree with Ann. if we could just tell them how important it is to stay calm!
this whole ordeal has got to be stressful too for Kaitlin and Torben. it’s so hard not to be able to control everything that we can!
sending them love. xoxo
It is really hard for them. 🙁
It is fortunate they have Zoe in the care of such good vets. We hope today is a better day. Lightning has more issues today, but his newest problem seems trivial next to Zoe’s.
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
I worry about Lightning too. The new problem is a real nuisance, especially because of the holiday weekend. Plenty of good wishes being sent from here. Fingers crossed.
