Here are a couple of articles on HGE:

Canine Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis (HGE) ~ Pawprints and Purrs, Inc.

Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis (HGE)
Thanks so much Ladymom! No, she did not discuss "packed volume"....can you please explain what that is so I can ask her about it in the morning?

What has been your experience with recovery time?


BTW, don't you have a baby with Liver Shunt also, or am I confusing you with someone else on YT?
