Tasha is in the vet hospital with suspected hemorragic gastro-enteritis. She has not been very well for a while, and is already under vet treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. She has been lethargic, off her food and limping slightly from time to time. But no-one could say what was wrong. Then this morning I came down to black and bloody diarrhea on the floor, and before I couold get dressed or call the vet, she did more. Anyway, she is now in hospital. I thought maybe she she had been kicked by a pony as she loves to chase them, or had eaten something bad, but the vet thinks it is more likely a viral thing. And he is also going to test her for giardiA. She is trembling and obviously miserable, though shows no sign of pain when she is touched or manipulated. I was planning a trip tot he UK this week, but that is obviously off for hte time being. I can't believe h ow awful this winter has been for animals getting sick. Anyone with any experience of these symptoms, please let me know your thoughts.
