britt3 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi All, I have had a pretty rough last couple of days, with my pregnant girl (50days), who contracted, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis disease, it all started thursday when i got home from work & there was vomit & bloody stools, everywhere, & her head hanging over the water bowl, I quickly rushed her down to my vet, they first asked me if she had been fully vaccinated as she had all the symptoms of parvo, & of course she was, the gave her a shot of anti vomit injection & antibiotics, she then gave her an ultrasound, to make sure all the pups where fine, which they were but at this stage my main concern was her....the vet said they could keep her there however like she stated nobody would be there till the morning, so we opted to bring her home where i could keep a good watch on her, the vet said they either recover real good or go pear shape & be dead in 24hrs..... you could imagine my thoughts, we made it through the night & went back friday morning & she had picked up quiet a bi, there was still quite a bit of blood when she gave her an anal examination, she said she still not out of the woods & gave me more antibiotics to give her.... when i got home i looked it up on the net, & said its quite common in small & med sized breeds, from 2 to 4 yrs of age & once they have had it can reoccur, they are not sure on how they get it & thankfully its not contagious, she is back to her normal self this morning, & back to the vet for a check up..............so fingers crossed........ it just goes to show how i had a healthy dog when i left for work, & came home to this......

Dogs4Fun Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 One of my terriers had it. Went to bed bright as a button. I got up in the morning to him lying flat on his side, with blue gums and cold, and a terrifying amount of bloody vomit and stool everywhere. 5 days in hospital on a drip, antibiotics, anti-ulcer medication and he finally came good. He never got it again. All blood tests and stool tests were negative. He was about 9 years when he got it and lived to 14 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
