| Until this year, I remained blissfully ignorant of this potentially fatal condition, when out of the blue - Abigail was stricken with bloody stool and frothy vomit. She was diagnosed HGE, and our vet recommended immediate hospitalization for IV therapy. An untreated episode of HGE can go downhill VERY quickly, possibly resulting in death in 8 short hours. I was terrified. Terrified to leave her in an emergency hospital an hour away, and terrified not to treat her. We did leave her for treatment, and she recovered. Here is a link that might help. |
