I did want to point out that my Daisy who has many medical problems also had similar type diarrhea for years on and off as a younger dog.....the cause was NOT HGE....it was Irritable Bowel Disease. Treatment for her diarrhea, along with finally finding the right diet for her, has kept her free of the issue for many years now. I do not give my dogs raw food and would never feed raw for various reasons that I won't get into here and I do not use any chews with any risk of bacteria such as bully sticks in my dogs with medical concerns.
I'm sure your vet will get to the bottom of her issues, but I personally would stop any raw food and any chew or snack with a probability of introducing bacteria to the gut. I'd wash all toys or replace them. I'd keep bedding very clean and floors where she might lick.
Best wishes. |
Cathy what is the difference between HGE and IBD? The symptoms sound alike. I also didn't know about washing the toys.
