Their blood machine doesn't run on weekends!😱

My thoughts and prayers for Zoey. We don't have an ER vet anywhere close either. Luckily the time I needed Winston to be seen after hours his vet met us at her office. So sorry you had to leave her there all night, but sounds like it was necessary. Hope and pray tomorrow will bring much improvement in her well being.

I had to recall the e r vet and express my concerns...she was just laying around no reaction to anything . I would stand her in front of her water dish and she would just look at me and not move. Lay and not move , no licky licky , no wiggle wiggle....nothing...I was afraid she was going to die! I had to leave my poor baby alone,.new vet ... Strange place for her oh waaaaa till morning.
I did take her favorite blankie and my night shirt.
Poor little thing had it coming out of both ends being hooked up ....those sad sad little brown eyes looking at me to make it all go away and I had to leave her!
She's only a year old😭
Please pray for my baby Zoey she is such a good little girl....they shouldn't get so sick.....

Yikes I hope she's ok. Are they doing any blood work or anything?

Somebody is going too!
Maybe they will mention it today. The said last night they can't do blood work on weekends, the blood machine is down......whaaaaaaaaaat.??!
Calling the primary vet as soon as I see how Zoey is.

Prayers for you and Zoey. Please keep us updated, when you can.

Zoey is much better this morning, they say. They want to keep her on I V till this afternoon....she had no issues during night and even ate a little of their science diet for sensitive stomachs. They want to see if she will keep that down plus do blood test for pancreatitis. Waaaaa, I don't wanna leave her that long!
Looks like I'm back on search for different dog food, had a terrible time finding one she would eat when I got her.

I would wait and see what the blood work shows or she may need a prescription diet.

Verdict still out on pancreatitis test....but I did call the primary vet , who was in surgerys this morn....talked to the usual receptionist about what happened this weekend. Now I am an understanding person in general but I am also capable of
Displaying intense scrutiny . I was NICE but to the point. I UNDERSTAND FAMILY
Priorities especially on the weekends , this is what she had, track meets out of town...ok....but to totally leave your voicemail with no forwarding contact in case of emergency?! Especially when telling relatively new customers you are available in case of emergencies , using 2 phone numbers , one which is her personal phone number and also left with a recording that the voicemail is not available try again later and cuts you off. ..is not what I had in mind if I had an emergency. ....explanations of "this is what she does" when she has important engagements, you did the best thing in taking Zoey where you did, we refer 24 hour care to them , we are a small clinic and even have to send certain blood tests out while they have everything there, all the big machines we don't have here. When she asked if they could have her records from the other place I said I wasn't sure what I was going to do next, and left it go at that.

Said Zoey does not have pancreatitis...diagnosis severe gastriolisis, gastrolitis, uhhh spell check where are you....you get it...
Now do I look for a different more easily digestible dog food? She likes her Fromm duck and sweet potatoe ....I laid off the chicken since I couldn't find anything she would eat for long....ohhhhhh and I have a terrible cold a Narcissic mother to deal with

Wants to keep her till 4 :00 preferably overnight again.....does that mean she could relapse?my poor baby ! I know she misses us....

[Zoey Zendaya]

To visit or not to visit.
I wanted to crawl into the cage below her to sleep last night but they just laughed......
She hasn't seen us since last night....don't know for sure if she will be coming home at 4.....they leave that decision up to US . Why , they are the dr....

Would visiting her then leaving be better or worse for her?!
Do they think they are deserted?
Will a little visit help or make it worse if I have to leave..
She will stick to me like glue....how can I leave that?!?
This is sooooo hard!

I would ask this in the sick section.

[Zoey Zendaya]

I called 3 times today and couldn't talk to anyone that actually took care of Zoey. They would run back and "get some information"....when I asked does she look normal, they ask what is normal, like duh your the dog experts DOG NORMAL,
Perky , curious, wanting OUT of that cage, barky.....

Is she eating? Oh but yes! Cause if she isn't I will make a broth water from boiled carrots and green beans and boil white rice in it and bring it to her with low fat cottage cheese ....( hey that's bland)

Zoey is very picky eater I can't see her eating anything unfamiliar . They said she ate some Science Diet ID a special formula that's easy to digest. Yuk , my poor baby....and want to see if she can keep it down or how it comes out the other end....hmmmm.
I told them she had white rice and cottage cheese and kept it down already.

Anyway that's how it stands now....UPS man got away without a barky bark today and my baby girl thinks we deserted her.
And not even a phone call from primary .is this the way the vet world IS?!

I am so sorry to learn that little Zoey is in the hospital. I totally understand the mixed feelings about visiting - we felt the same way when my Gina was in the hospital for five days. We (Zoey & I) will say prayers for Zoey's complete recovery. Hope she comes home soon.
