If she's not on probiotics/digestive enzymes (found in normal gut) I would get her on them.
When the lining of the intestines becomes inflamed, it creates habitat for bad bacteria, and will cause bloody stools.
Double the dose of probiotics/digestive enzymes to increase the good bacteria, help flush out the bad, and give her the tools she needs to digest her food.
Bland diet: Baby food chicken (offer every 2 hours, small amounts)(after keeping that down 2-3 days, introduce I/D gradually.) Nutrical supplement every 2 hours.
Offer Pedialyte Nature's Farmacy - Store - Product Details
Keep her warm, and interact with her often if not almost constantly.

No, nothing was mentioned about HGE and they sent home 3 meds for her. Two for nausea and one for diahrea. I have used the meds for nausea sparingly and the one for diahrea not at all and she has not had any diahrea.
I didn't even think about the probiotics but I will get some tomorrow. I think she is mostly over it but I think the probiotics will still help. I need to get some Nutri-Cal, I have some Nutri-Stat and my dogs don't seem to like it as well but I bought it because it is supposed to do the same job but is less expensive. Yes, one or the other of us is with her all the time but she seems worried about me if I leave the room or even cross to the other side of the room. She watches me very closely. I didn't know she was so attached to me. Thanks, Sylvia
