Prayers for Apple! It sounds like you are doing treatment just fine so you should ignore those particular posters who want to cast judgment on your actions -(including some people who do not take actions for their own dogs, by the way) and keep doing what you are doing for her. I would trust my vet before anyone on the internet, no matter how much they *seemed* to know.

I did want to point out that my Daisy who has many medical problems also had similar type diarrhea for years on and off as a younger dog.....the cause was NOT HGE....it was Irritable Bowel Disease. Treatment for her diarrhea, along with finally finding the right diet for her, has kept her free of the issue for many years now. I do not give my dogs raw food and would never feed raw for various reasons that I won't get into here and I do not use any chews with any risk of bacteria such as bully sticks in my dogs with medical concerns.

I'm sure your vet will get to the bottom of her issues, but I personally would stop any raw food and any chew or snack with a probability of introducing bacteria to the gut. I'd wash all toys or replace them. I'd keep bedding very clean and floors where she might lick.
Best wishes.

Cathy what is the difference between HGE and IBD? The symptoms sound alike. I also didn't know about washing the toys.

Good suggestion. I also use the chews but in petite size and Buster sometimes has trouble with the long strip shape.

Best wishes to Apple and her family. I hope the find the trigger to these episodes so that Apple does not have to go through these debilitating bouts of vomiting and diarrhea.

Good to hear that Apple has had a little bit of improvement. Sending positive thoughts and prayers for both Apple and for you.

what are CET chews?

Sending prayers your way. I am so sorry that you are having to go thru this.

Maggie, I hope Apple continues to improve and return to feeling great again. I know you are doing everything possible. You're such a great mommy.

How is sweet Apple today? Hoping she is continuing to get stronger and that she feels better.

I'm being cautiously optimistic...She still sleeps, more than she used to, but will rally and play w/Buzz and Apple for short periods of time...She had her first bm, since the serious event on Sunday, that had her back on fluids and meds..She did have some mucus, but no bleeding, so I'm hoping it's all going in the right direction...I believe the next few days are crucial...She only has two days of antibiotics, so I'll be interested to see how she does, after she's finished...I sure do thank you, Kristin, for asking about my Sweet little Apple...
hugs
maggie & apple
