I would remove anything in my home that I suspected of causing the bleeding. I would not care if that was not the cause....no harm done by removing suspected items. JMHO  |
Oh I agree. I did not mean an 'intentional' cutting short of treatment... even though in some cases that does sometimes happen. Even when it does happen, there is no intent to cause harm... I was just saying it's best not to rush the cure in these cases... for whatever reason. Knowing what I know about HGE, if my dog is not 100%, if I have any doubt (not doubting my vet, either), I opt for an additional day or days in the hospital, only because I know firsthand how insidious this disease is.
Just funny though, as Peek a Boo doesn't do chews of any kind (his choice) except for hooves (my choice having worked with horses I can't deal with them, even seeing them in a bag in a store upsets me
) so basically one could go a bit overboard with eliminating things. And one could eliminate everything and still have a recurrence. So with him, it was more likely stress induced.... some vets even recommend a change in the diet after a bout of HGE...
