Ruby came home this evening. No food for the rest of today. The tomorrow we start her on a special diet that the vet has given us.
Temperature has come down 38.8 and is such a happy looking girl to be home. I think even the HOD has subsided..

LORDY the poops she is doing - not that you can really call them poops. I won't gross you with details but in the corner of our yard lookis like there has been a murder. I have never seen anything like it.
Her bottom is so red and inflamed.. she looks like one of those red bummed monkeys you see on TV.

Guys please be aware of this Haemorrhagic Gastroenteritis.. the vet has told me that it can be fatal if not treated early. They don't know what causes it and it's not something to 'wait and see how they go'. They can dehydrate very quickly.

Thankyou so much for the support over the last week.. I hope we are seeing light at the end of this tunnel. Ruby has been so strong (me not so much) and I am very proud of her. She sends love and licks back to all you guys and a silent arooooo (cos she still don't bark)

Ange and Ruby-D

Ruby and her little bandage.. I thought she would have had it chewed off by now (like usual)

I'm so sorry to hear Ruby is not feeling well .. I am glad to see her at home with the family, I think being home with the family makes them feel more at ease and relaxed to focus on healing .. Positive thoughts being sent your way and we will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers .. Get well Ruby Smile

Give her a big hug from us! Glad she is home. She is so lucky to have such a great Mom who keeps a close eye on her, acts fast, and takes great care of her! Razz

I am so glad shes home with you... I think she'll feel better from that alone! Grab that sweet face of hers and give her a big ole kiss from me! Can you but vasoline or something on her bottom (ask the vet first) to seal out the runny stools that are eating her skin up?

I am so happy that Ruby is home with you! I hope that she starts feeling better soon. I'm glad that you now have a diagnosis for what's going on. Give her some more kisses for us!

i am so happy that she is home again!!!

can you work with a holistic vet to see if you can work with diet/supplements/homeopathics to strengthen her system?

vishnu did so much better on canned food and now raw.
raw might not be the thing for ruby while her body is still getting well.
maybe home cooked?
