We are so pleased to report that delightful Elsa is making good progress after a very severe bout of Haemorrhagic Gastroenteritis (HGE).
Elsa’s symptoms were initially intractable vomiting. As she did not respond to therapy and has a habit of eating wood which can be very hard to detect on imaging, she underwent an exploratory operation to check that she had not swallowed any. This might in turn have splintered, perforated the bowels and caused peritonitis. Thankfully this did not prove to be the case, however did develop haemorrhagic diarrhoea. Appropriate and swift therapy has put her on the road to recovery!
