Poor Zoe Girl....

Our First Four legged child, Zoe, 8.
As sweet as can be, never a bother except if it is a minute past meal time, loves her family and home doesn't like when we are away or she is away! Adores her baby sister Bella and although she doesn't like to admit it always has an eye on her son, Peyton, our second four legged child now 5.
All and all a wonderful pet!
Zoe has been very healthy for the most part hasn't had good luck with the allergies and child birth! At 3 we breed her, she had 5 puppies at home, 4 got stuck and she became septic in which she had to have an emergency c-section at 1am on a Friday night. 10 months later she had her first on now for hematoma's on her ear due to shaking of her head from the itching which makes the blood vessels break and fluid build up. Tuesday is when we found her 4th hematoma this is the first time it has been on her left ear. Today she went to the vet to have surgery to drain the ear, also treat her allergies with cortisone injection and then while in surgery they found a large fractured tooth so removed that!
Poor Zoe girl!!!
She is resting comfortably with pain pills and sedatives at the vets tonight while they watch her over!
For all those dog lovers you understand that this dog has cost us more than child birth but the things you do for your dogs...they're family!
We will be happy when she is home tomorrow!
