Cookie's HGE ScareOn Saturday evening..Cookie was down with
HGE. Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (
HGE) is a canine disease characterized by sudden vomiting and bloody
diarrhoea.
It's like the canine version of stomach flu..but for animals...they go into
dehydration and thickening blood much faster than humans..so must be treated asap.
We thought it was just a normal diarrhoea..until it became to look quite bad..So, we rushed him to the vet and but it was just a bad day...there were no taxi in sight, call cab I was on call waiting, then call the clinic (8.30 close) to ask them to be last patient also never picked up..then when we finally flagged down a cab, the cab driver drove the wrong route and was horribly slow..and need to stop with every red light.
By the time we reached the clinic, we managed to be the last patient...but need to be charged $90 for OT consultation..(normal price: $35) ..
This vet wasn't too kind to Cookie too, quite rough with him..luckily my cookie high calibre..never even make a sound when got two huge injections..now have to go through fasting too..
Now Cookie is recovering quite well. Feeding the medication is the worst thing..he got 6 tablets and 1 syrup to eat 3 times a day..I got many scratches and threatening bites from him from feeding the medicine..I still need to pound the medicine into powder..and disinfect his sleeping area many times a day.....slave to my dog
Cookie is now a SLIM DOG
ok...got waist already. He lost 3 kg in over a week. around 25% of his original weight..so impressive.I think he will get even slimmer soon.
Lol
