My Fletch had it borderline. After 1 day of bloody diarrhea, I took him in, they did blood work and told me he was a very sick little boy and they wanted to keep him overnight. Weird thing was, he was acting fine. Aside from the vomiting and diarrhea, he was running around, jumping on the couch, barking out the window. Anyways, I decided not to admit him bc he would be unattended from 8pm until 6am, so I wanted him home with me where I'd watch him. He got meds, sub-Q fluids for 3 days (I brought him back in everyday for those) and prescription food. It took about 10 days before his bloodwork started going back to normal. It was not a severe case. Anyways, about 3 months later, back at it... same things. Again, I didn't admit him and he just went back on the meds, the food, the fluids... he recovered quicker that time around.
Couple months later... again!!! So the vet started asking me questions about our house and what was going on. Well... Fletch is a 'super' sensitive dog. He is afraid of everything, we call him (lovingly of course) sketchy fletchy! Putting 2 & 2 together, we realized that he was getting worked up and making himself sick when he saw suitcases, he knew that meant we were leaving. All 3 bouts happened days before we were leaving (or I was leaving) for a trip or just a weekend. So the vet said it was more than likely stress induced and not 'REALLY' HGE.... but it was a mild HGE. Thankfully its mild, I couldn't imagine it being worse!
Glad Ozzie is doing better!
