They gave her meds for the diaherra and vomiting and anitbotics to fight the HGE infection. She is doing GREAt and is back to normal. She is still on the antibotics until they run out and they gave her a pill to sprinkle on her food each night that puts the good bacteria back in to her intestines. Like the stuff in yogurt - LOL!
The thing with HGE is that if caught early it's treatable. With these little ones, its so, so important to get them to the vet early. It makes all the difference. Good thing you took her in when you did!!!!! I hope your baby gets back to feeling better soon!
Also wanted to add : Yorkies are listed as one of the breeds that are more likely to get it. |
Thanks for the information! I will definitely read up on it because the vet mentioned that her intestines felt thick and said she thought the fecal could show worms, but it didn't. So now I'm wondering on this. So far she's keeping her food and water down.
