As far as the HGE / HEMORRHAGIC GASTROENTERITIS... it says that Recurrences are possible, but they are not common.
I had a yorkie that had this... I caught it at a very early stage... it was very easy to treat for me because I caught it at a very early stage. No staying in the vet etc... but did need medications... I was just lucky as the first sign of the bloody diarrhea I got my dog right in. When I say bloody diarrhea I mean bloody.
It says recurrences are possible, but they are not common. I can tell you from my past experience it does come back again. It is not as bad as the first time in my case but it does.. and it has came back more than once.
I have medicine at hand all of the time for when I see the first signs of it. If my dog doesn't eat I know it will happen again. I have never been wrong so far here.... once I see his attitude and not wanting to eat then I know I must start the medication right away. I hate to say this but from what I have learned from this dog getting this is it looks like it is a life long thing now.
I would say my dog gets it maybe three times a year. Sorry if I scare you with this but I thought you should know.
I am surprised jakeepaper that a second dog came down with it as when my dog did this no other dog ever had the same problem. |
