Guest BlackandBrindle Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Outkast has been hospitalized for HGE and he's approaching critical status. They aren't sure of it's cause. Prayers and good thoughts are greatly appreciated. Also, can anyone tell me about this diagnosis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FosterFlunker Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Angus had it a few weeks before he was pts. He was at the vets for an afternoon getting Iv's and then I had to give him multiple injections of antibiotics and other meds all weekend. He did recover.

Neighsayer Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 My friend's lab had it last month. She was in the hospital on IV fluids and antibiotics for 3 days. She is fine now but is on special food. Hope all goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlackandBrindle Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Lisa, btw, is Luluaz here on Gt. She'll know more at eleven (forty minutes from now). She said that Doc Yokam said that 75 is critical where the dog could die and Outkast is at 71 or 72. I don't know what that means. I believe they are holding him for 72 hours, doing more bloodwork, putting him on IV, etc... For those of you who've experienced this, was the dog's white blood cell count higher than normal? I don't believe Kaster's wbc's are out of normal range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VanillaBean Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) My iggie Poppy had it once. On a Sunday. So off to Emergency Vet. Tons of Antibiotics, IV's and I do believe some steroids and she pulled through. She does not have to eat special food now, but if I see the signs of it coming on, she gets a prednisone. Happens about 2-3 times a year. Prayers for Angus. It is a scarey thing, but they do live through it!! OH, don't remember about the WBC. ETA: I was her secret santa last year, so some extra hugs going out from Sandusky! Edited September 6, 2008 by VanillaBean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlackandBrindle Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I just spoke to Lisa and she hasn't heard anything from Dr. Yokam which is a good thing. He told her that if she heard from him something else was going on... so no news is good news right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
