Lady's had HGE three times so I know how scary it is. I am so glad that Winston is doing better!
Next time he has any similar symptoms, make sure they do a CBC right in the office. It only takes couple of minutes and will tell the vet what his red blood count/packed volume is. Anything over 60 is HGE. There is absolutely no reason to wait days for test results. HGE makes the blood thicken and they can die within hours. The key to survival is rapid intervention with IV therapy. |
