If his blood counts are normal and he is no longer having rectal bleeding, I would probably not do further testing unless the vets could give me a reason why they felt there was still a possible issue.
Allow me to share a story..... Years ago, I woke in the middle of the night to find blood all over and my little Maxwell was hunched over with blood coming out of his rectum. I rushed him to the vet (I lived in another state then and my vet had 24 hour care for his established clients) ... they immediately started him on ivs. I don't recall everything that was done but by morning he was fine. The vet speculated that perhaps Maxwell had eaten a blade of grass and it had cut his intestines. I told him that that was not possible because I leash walked him at all times and he did not eat any grass. About a week later it hit me what had caused it....there was Maxwell under the bird cage eating seeds that my cockatiel dropped down! I knew then that it was a seed that had caused that incident! Someone mentioned that only an accident or blunt force trauma will cause bleeding, but that is just not the case...it can be something as simple as a blade of grass that has been ingested.
I am happy that Bentley seems to be ok so far! The threat of HGE is very real in yorkies and one should never dismiss bleeding. So happy you went to the vet last night! |
