| I also would let them do the ultrasound. Especially if your dog is a chewer like ours. My friend lost her dog because she refused to do an ultrasound and to this day she never knew what happened. I know how expensive these hospitals can be I just paid $32,00 for cataract surgery and this is the second surgery he's had in 7 months. You should apply for a Care Card because it's great to have in an emergency and they give you payment plans. I don't know what I would do without it. When you have a pet it's a blessing. Anyway we are praying for Bentley. |

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | I am so sorry that you little fella is so ill and there seems to be no reasonable reason or sign of why. I have never heard of such a think happening other than with a tragic accident and blunt force causing bleeding. So, hopefully they will find the answers. I am glad that he is doing better today and hope for better results tomorrow. Is there the possibility that he had been dropped ? Its possible if he has that the force of the fall could of caused internal bleeding.

| Gina was on the hospital for five days getting transfusions. It cost $5000.00 for the five days and she died anyway. We were just heartbroken. I got insurance for Zoey as soon as I got her and it has paid off every year. Please keep us updated on bentley's progress.

| If his blood counts are normal and he is no longer having rectal bleeding, I would probably not do further testing unless the vets could give me a reason why they felt there was still a possible issue. Allow me to share a story..... Years ago, I woke in the middle of the night to find blood all over and my little Maxwell was hunched over with blood coming out of his rectum. I rushed him to the vet (I lived in another state then and my vet had 24 hour care for his established clients) ... they immediately started him on ivs. I don't recall everything that was done but by morning he was fine. The vet speculated that perhaps Maxwell had eaten a blade of grass and it had cut his intestines. I told him that that was not possible because I leash walked him at all times and he did not eat any grass. About a week later it hit me what had caused it....there was Maxwell under the bird cage eating seeds that my cockatiel dropped down! I knew then that it was a seed that had caused that incident! Someone mentioned that only an accident or blunt force trauma will cause bleeding, but that is just not the case...it can be something as simple as a blade of grass that has been ingested. I am happy that Bentley seems to be ok so far! The threat of HGE is very real in yorkies and one should never dismiss bleeding. So happy you went to the vet last night!

| A high PCV (Packed cell Volume) blood test is indicative of HGE. If this is the case, he should stay on IV fluid therapy until that test returns to normal limits. There is no known cause for HGE, bacterial infection is suspect, some think stress can bring it on. If the PCV is within normal limits, I would probably get the US. His xrays didn't show anything? Did the vet palpate his abdomen? They can usually feel abnormalities in the gut. (IMHO)
