Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis

[hsb719]

We just lost our 2 1/2 year old beloved Maisy to this today. Symptoms started Monday. Brought her to the vet after 2 days of diarrhea and vomiting. I did know anything about this disease until today. Very hard day on our family. Will spread the word as much as possible about this horrible sickness that took our doggie way to early.

If a dog has HGE they must have IV Fluids. HGE can be deadly if not treated right away .

Thank you very much Vicky, Her first sign of sickness was at about 8:30 a.m NY Day....she must have vomitted 8 times within 45 min...the last two with a pink tint.... I panicked! Was at the emergency vet by 11:45
This is when she had her first bloody stool, I just about died
I was at the vet on emergency New Year's Eve with my boy Chase.... No bloody stools or vomit, he was sent home with antibiotics and given a under the skin shot for fluids. I feel lucky to have caught it early....I could not keep her over night for the 48 hrs suggested, they gave her under skin fluids, antibiotics among many other meds (5 in total) and I brought her home, thus far no vomitting,she's keeping down food and her stools not normal yet but not bloody. I have been giving small doses of pedialyte after the blood clot articles I have read. Has anyone had a dog with this that fully recovered without IV treatments? I am still so super worried

Thk you,
Chase & Bellas Mommy

I've been through this with my Allie. She spent 3 day's at the Vet on IV Fluids and med's. I do watch her really close now. We have no idea what caused it, sometimes you never the cause.
I hope your baby is doing OK.
