Do Dogs Die From Hge?


Recommended Posts

I just talked to her doctor, she is looking good. Still not interested in food, but that may be stress/the hospital environment as much as anything else. She has had no more diarrhea or vomiting so the doc is going to release her at 4:00 PM PST today as long as nothing changes in the meantime. Last night she was looking better to me though not her normal energetic Penny-self, she did have the gleam in her eye returning so that was a great thing to see.

 

Thank you for all the good wishes. They worked.

Sending get well wishes out to Penny! :hope:getwell

 

Having gone thru it also it is scarey isn't it?! And at this time,oh gosh I can only imagine. You did such a great job in getting Penny treated so quickly and soon she'll be back home resting with you.

Very glad to hear that she's feeling better.

 

Yes, dogs can die from HGE if it's not caught and treatment isn't started in time. One of our kennel kids had it and we almost lost him. He was so dehydrated his whole body was cramping and he was screaming :( His gums were white and he was overheating. He couldn't walk - we fashioned a hammock with a blanket in order to get him into the car. Thankfully we got him to the ER and he ended up being okay after having to stay for a few days.

 

My rule with diarrhea and vomit is, if it's bloody, a vet is at LEAST getting a phone call.
