Hi Brody's mom I am so sorry. My little Benji was just admitted to the
hospital with HGE. This morning she was fine , a few hours after eating
her chicken breast no skin or bones raw. She was throwing up bright red
blood. My son put her in her carrier and sped to the ferry to take her to
the vet on the other island( ST Maarten) She never stopped being active
and frisky. After x rays , and blood tests, the vet called me with the diagnosis
of HGE. He said her red blood cells were causing her blood to be thick. She was
also very dehydrated. He gave her antibiotics and has her on a interveinis drip. No
solid food and I can't take her home for two days. Today is Monday I can pick her up
Wednsday afternoon. There were no toxins obstruction or bacterial infections. The vet
felt it was due to stress of flying from Baltimore , with me in the cabin , and change of climate. He assured me she would be fine. I will keep you posted. Hug Brodie for me |
