Poor little Zest, and poor Kim too, I'm sure you are very worried. Hopefully she is already better, fluids and 'gut rest' and good vet care will hopefully have her home again soon.

Oh, how awful. Any idea why this came about? Anyway, hugs and hugs for your whole family.

Kim, is there a prognosis for her? Now that it is under control will the bleeding return?

Miles and I just went to tuck Zest in for the night. She looked perkier, but still tired. I read more well-wishes and we listened to some more pod casts from NPR. (We listened to the Not My Job pod casts for some levity.) The evening shift was just as nice and friendly as the early shift, so that was nice to meet those people. In reading about this HGE, it seems much is a mystery. Everything I've read has pointed to it NOT being contagous, so that's a relief. At any rate, continued prayers, good vibes, etc are still appreciated.
Once she's done with her hospital visit, she will be on a special diet for a little while before we introduce her regular food.

this website info seems to be inline with what the hospital is telling me.Thank you so much! Your notes of caring really seem to cheer her (and me) up!

I'm glad Zest she is doing better! Nemo had this years ago. It was very scary but he turned around pretty quickly after getting IV fluids and an overnight stay at the vet.

I am so glad she is feeling better. Being home will certainly cheer her up, and you too. I'd have freaked out… just hard to not be scared when it's your pet.
The first link you gave said about 10 to 15 percent recurs, so at least MOST never are bothered again. My only experience with it was a friend's dog, who also had Von Willebrand disease (a bleeding or lack of clotting disease) and they felt it was related to that.

I'm so glad Zest is feeling better! I'm sending out happy thoughts for a speedy recovery so she will be home soon.

Thanks so much everyone! those good thougths/prayers ARE working and we anticipate she'll be home around lunchtime. She will need a bland diet for a while, but we ARE planning for a complete recovery. I'll post again when she's home.

That's good news! How scary for the both of you to go through this! Continued good health, and I will think of the both of you often today.
