I would remove anything in my home that I suspected of causing the bleeding. I would not care if that was not the cause....no harm done by removing suspected items. JMHO :D
Oh I agree. I did not mean an 'intentional' cutting short of treatment... even though in some cases that does sometimes happen. Even when it does happen, there is no intent to cause harm... I was just saying it's best not to rush the cure in these cases... for whatever reason. Knowing what I know about HGE, if my dog is not 100%, if I have any doubt (not doubting my vet, either), I opt for an additional day or days in the hospital, only because I know firsthand how insidious this disease is.

Just funny though, as Peek a Boo doesn't do chews of any kind (his choice) except for hooves (my choice having worked with horses I can't deal with them, even seeing them in a bag in a store upsets me:eek:) so basically one could go a bit overboard with eliminating things. And one could eliminate everything and still have a recurrence. So with him, it was more likely stress induced.... some vets even recommend a change in the diet after a bout of HGE...

I don't think they are totally convinced this is HGE, but again, the vet is excellent and if Apple continues to have problems a solution will be found.

Will be keeping your little Apple in my prayers. I hope Apple is feeling better tonight.

Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (HGE) usually causes a very sudden onset of vomiting, bloody diarrhea, dehydration and depression. Dogs affected by this condition get very sick, very fast.

He has done some amazing work on some of my fosters that had major problems. One had a fracture for six months and he saved his leg. I also had another with a major messed up knee...and he did something that I believe no other surgeon would have done. There was no ridge for the tibia to go into...the one side was missing. He took the bone on the other side, cut it in half and put half on the other side and put pins in...then made a groove. It was one of those, go in and see IF we can repair it. She has since been adopted and is doing fantastic! He is very creative and an excellent surgeon!

You probably see his ex wife at the Derm clinic. I have never gone there, but I heard she is very good.
That is exactly who we see! She is very good with my liver baby. I am so glad to know that about the orthopedic surgeon. While having Lola's shunt repaired in TN, we were informed that she had LP in both back legs so it's only a matter of time before I'm sure we'll be looking him up! It's amazing what these really good specialists can do. I'm sure you have seen it all with the babies you take care of.

My two LOVE Bully Sticks!!! I've never had a problem with them...so far. :confused: Are there brands that aren't good to buy or give to your dog?? I buy the "MOO" and the "Red Barn" brands. I haven't been able to find the "Moo" ones lately though.

She may never need surgery! My Maxwell who died at a very old age (he was a rescue so age was a guess) had LP all the years I had him (11) and it never got worse and he never needed surgery. I can tell you that Dr. Beale is very conservative about surgery for LP. If it is not causing problems, he does not operate.
He did tell me that a puppy with open growth plates does need surgery for LP.

You and Apple are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope her doctor finds the underlying problem and that your little girl responds to treatment and gets well very soon.

chestermama 01-30-2011 06:04 PM
chester and sandy are sending you and the fur baby yorkies hugs and prayers. I hope she is better soon

Just seeing this and I cannot tell you how terribly sorry I am. I will keep little Apple in my prayers and will be checking for updates. Have the diagnosis been confirmed? The symptoms were similar to my friend's baby and we almost lost her recently. Fortunately, she is near a large hospital who quickly diagnosed the problem which was a ruptured gallbladder! I have never been so scared in my life and we are so blessed that she was in the right place at the right time. I am praying for the same wonderful outcome for your Apple and you. God bless you.

Sweet Apple 01-31-2011 03:40 AM
I'm sitting here, trying to think of words, worthy enough to tell you how moved I am w/all the prayers, for my little Apple (and me!)...Thank you, just doesn't seem enough, but it's all I've got, so thank-you, sooo much...I just fed Apple a very small amount of RX ID, and so far, so good...I have to realize her two major events happened a week apart, so I'm going to be cautiously optimistic...So many of your posts have given me hope, that there will be a solution, even if we have to work through it...Believe me, I've taken notes! Thanks Lin, for always being there for me w/my babies 24/7...Your experience and willingness to help w/every pup is amazing...I'll keep everyone posted on Apple's progress...Thanks!

jfalz73 01-31-2011 03:45 AM
Keeping you and sweet Apple in prayer....:)

BonBon 01-31-2011 05:52 AM
Maggie, I'm just seeing this. I'm sorry little Apple isn't feeling well. Please know you both are in my prayers! It sounds like she's getting wonderful care, so I know she'll be back to her normal self soon.

Hugs to you both,
Bonny

Have you tried CET chews? That's what I use...very good for teeth too. I use only the Medium size so that the choking hazard is minimal (vs. the Petite size).

I hope Apple continues to improve each and every moment!
