Bloodwork will tell your vet a lot. Dogs with HGE have a high packed volume (red blood cells). |
No, she hasn't mentioned HGE yet. I just called back to tell her about the lawn being sprayed two weeks ago and she was with another client, so I didn't get to ask her about it. I will definitely be asking about it though. What causes HGE?
My normal vet, Dr. Jones, should be there in about an hour and he'll take over Maddox's care then. I decided not to wait until he arrived to start testing/treatment - I know all the doctors there are very good. But, I know Dr. Jones best and trust him so I'll feel better having him on the case.
