Has anyone here experienced hge or know where to point me towards more research on this? None of the articles i have read have given me much info.
i'm not sure if i should post in this section, since Matilda is fine, but my other dog, George, has been hospitalized for 3 days and i was just able to take him home yesterday afternoon.
He vomited in the middle of the night and i thought his stomach was just upset so i gave him one of the stomach meds we gave Lucy while she was taking her cancer meds. he vomited again about 15 minutes later, but this time it was thick mucus and eventually turned into blood. then he started having bloody diarrhea and i rushed him in.
i did not see my normal vet and no one would give me any info other than it was hge and they needed to put him on an iv. no one called me the entire 3 days, i had to keep calling for updates.
they finally told me he could leave when he pooped and hes weird about pooping and will only do it outside on a leash and ONLY if i'm the one walking him so i had to convince them to let me come walk him.
They sent me home with 5 days of antibiotics and told me to feed him science diet ID for 3 days, which *I* hate and George hates too and doesn't want to eat. He's still a little weak from being on the IV and no food, but he doesn't want to touch the ID, even though i got canned. i have cottage cheese and plain greek yogurt i can give him, but I'm not sure if I can start him back on his grain free food and i can't ask the vet, since she is one of those science diet vets.
He will normally inhale canned food and his normally food is either wellness core reduced fat or blue wilderness healthy weight depending on what store I'm at
