This is Ginger! Sweet Ginger presented to us for treatment for acute hemorrhagic diarrhea syndrome (AHDS). After a few days in the hospital with our wonderful doctors and technical staff, Ginger was able to go back home to her family! Since going home Ginger has made a full recovery and we are all so happy for her and her family!

Acute hemorrhagic diarrhea syndrome (AHDS) is a sudden and severe illness in dogs characterized by bloody diarrhea and vomiting. This can be life threatening in some cases. Symptoms of AHDS include sudden onset of bloody diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, and severe dehydration. The exact cause is unknown but potential factors include dietary indiscretions, toxins and stress. Treatment for AHDS includes fluid therapy, antiemetics and pain management.

If your pet has any of these symptoms, please have them seen at your nearest vet as soon as possible!
