A high PCV (Packed cell Volume) blood test is indicative of HGE. If this is the case, he should stay on IV fluid therapy until that test returns to normal limits. There is no known cause for HGE, bacterial infection is suspect, some think stress can bring it on. If the PCV is within normal limits, I would probably get the US. His xrays didn't show anything? Did the vet palpate his abdomen? They can usually feel abnormalities in the gut. (IMHO) |
