Elsy has problems with HGE especially if I have to be gone from her too long and she gets stressed (dad's just not the same). I keep her meds on hand just in case she starts to get sick after the vet has closed or on the weekend. I try to nip it in the bud and so far so good. No stays at the vet - only a few visits for an injection of cerenia and one when she needed sub-q fluids. (My vets are available 24/7 for emergency calls and always available to help me and would send me to the emergency clinic if they thought Elsy needed to go) She is on the rx low fat gastrointestinal food and in the last three weeks I've started giving her very small pieces of steamed carrots for a treat. No other food or treats. Maybe your vet will give you some meds to have on hand in case Couver has a problem after office hours. Hope he's feeling better. These little angels can get sick so fast. |
