What has been your experience with recovery time?


BTW, don't you have a baby with Liver Shunt also, or am I confusing you with someone else on YT?

Lady has liver damage from years of phenobarbital from seizures. She is also diabetic. Chances are if your Yorkie has a disease Lady's had it.

The packed volume is red blood count. Normal is 37-55. Anything over 60 is HGE. The first couple of times Lady had it she was borderline, between 55-60. Subq fluids, antibiotics and an anti-diarrheal did the trick. I did subq fluids at home so she wouldn't have to be hospitalized.

The third time she had it her packed volume was really high, 75.6. She was in the ER clinic at night and my vet's during the day for two days on IV fluids. She was really, really sick.

The recovery is pretty quick once they get the supportive care (usually IV) that they need.

Patti on YT (her baby's name is Cali) just posted tonight that Cali has HGE, too!! She may have some questions, as well. I told her about the links you sent me. Thanks again!

Awwwww! Poor Lady!

My Sasha has MVD, she's been doing pretty well on the LD......seems as though she has been rejuvenated!

Hopefully CeCe will come around soon!

If she isn't feeling better tomorrow, take her back to your vet. She may still be dehydrated.

Is she eating and drinking?

So sorry to hear about CeCe. Praying she makes a full recovery soon. As you know Cali was diagnosed today as well. Her PCV was 60 so I am hoping she will be ok tonight with the SQ fluids until I take her back at 8 tomorrow morning. Thanks Ladymom for the information it was very helpful.

No food or drink.....just a few licks of ice cubes. She is scheduled to go back in the morning to check her hydration.

Oh, dear. I think CeCe needs to be hospitalized with an IV to stabilize her. Subq fluids generally aren't enough for HGE.

I'll keep her in my prayers. Please update us when you can.

Checking for an update on little CeCe.....

[Patti]

Hoping CeCe is feeling better. Cali vomited too last night and when I took her in this am she was dehydrated again. She was hospitalized and given IV fluids and I just got her home. Vet said she was doing good but she looks pretty tired.

I'm glad they hospitalized Cali and gave gave her fluids through an IV. That is the recommended treatment.

I wish we would get an update on CeCe. I've been checking all day.
