I am new here but I had to let you know you and your sweet Gonzo are in my prayers. Sending lots of healing thoughts and well-wishes his way. I am so sorry for his pain and your anguish.
Gonzo is so young, I am holding out all hope he will have a good night, get the rest and relief he needs with his family, and pull out of this.
Praying for you Gonzo. :love:
whew, I'm glad he's home and eating a few bites. Your bond of love is so strong, he'll respond better being near you than he would anywhere else. Paws still crossed he pulls thru this. C'mon Gonzo, we're all rooting for ya, buddy!
I'm glad to see that he is home, and let's hope that he continues to take steps forward in his healing.
More prayers on the way for sweet Gonzo. :love:
I've been reading this thread every single day and hoping for good news. it's good to know he's back home and i'm praying for your sweet boy that he'd pull through. Hang in their gonzo you can beat this and hopefully live a long healthy life.
I'm so sorry to hear about Gonzo.:( I'm hoping for a Christmas miracle. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Keeping both you and Gonzo in my prayers. I hope he is feeling much better today.
Oh Erica my heart sank when I saw this :(. Lots of healing positive thoughts going your way. Gonzo was always one of my favourite PT Border Collies :love:.
I continue to pray that he will get past this illness. I am glad that he's home with you where I'm sure he wants to be.
I'm so deeply sorry to hear Gonzo is so sick. I remember "meeting" him when you first introduced him to us. He's such a special and beautiful dog. I hope he can make it through this mystery illness.
Please keep us updated, and give that sweet boy a hug from me.
Still praying for Gonzo.
OMG! I just saw this. I'm glad Gonzo is home with you. I can't believe the vets can't find a reason why he's so sick. What a mystery. So sad. I'm so so sorry. A gazillion trillion prayers being said for sweet Gonzo's recovery.
I am hoping no news is good news...still praying for you Gonzo.

Hey you guys! I'm so sorry I haven't been updating you... these past few days have been a rollercoaster of emotions and I just haven't left Gonzo for a second.
When we brought him home on Thursday and then on Friday he had bad diarrhea and wasn't eating and he was very weak. We were going to take him in today to get him PTS. I woke up this morning to Gonz and Fozz playing on top of me in bed. I was like "what's going on?"! He proceded to voraciously eat chicken and rice for breakfast (then 3 other times today) and hasn't had the big d at all today... he hasn't done anything. I think his system was just totally empty.
I'm hoping that he is going to keep getting better... he's a little bit like his normal self now. He looked so old before, like a trembling old dog. He has the spark in his eyes again. He even started to play with a new toy that I got him. I definitely feel that all of the prayers and positive thoughts helped pull him through this, in addition to his Vets. They said that they decided he had a very severe case of HGE (which I thought they could have originally determined through his bloodwork???), and they haven't seen a dog survive this long with it. They were all super happy to hear that he's turning around. I really hope that he continues to eat and recover! I'm so happy to see him happy and spend quality time with him, I cherish every day that he's with me.
Thanks for updating us. This is wonderful news!!!:D I hope he'll continue to improve and get back to his old self very soon. I'll continue to keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
Great news, I am so happy! I will continue praying for Gonzo.
Happy tears here. Sending more positive thoughts your way. Keep getting better Gonzo :love:.
Oh Erica I'm so happy to hear this it makes me want to cry tears of joy:D
Many (((HUGS)))!!!!
This is wonderful new to hear this morning. Please give Gonzo some hugs from me.
Phew....I was so worried. FANTASTIC - keep it up Gonzo!
YAY! :D What happy news this Sunday morning!!! I had to google HGE(Hemorrhagic GastroEnteritis), how awful!
I will continue to pray Gonzo continues to improve!:)
Hooray for Gonzo!
I suspect you are going to go to bed and have a good sleep now, what an ordeal. A restful sleep, ,knowing Gonzo has turned the corner and is in the recovery stage.
I never heard of it either an dhad to Google and read. OMGosh, he has been through a lot. Says to keep him on a bland diet for at least a week while his system continues to recover.
I didn't see anything which said it could be diagnosed by blood work. Rather, all I see is that they rule out everything ELSE it could be, with those symptoms, and that leaves HGE.
I will continue to pray for Gonzo that his body can heal and recover from this.
Way to go Gonzo! :D Keep getting better and better and better! :):love:
I was so worried that you hadn't updated, but I am so glad to hear Gonzo is doing better. :) Yay, keep it up buddy. :D:love:
So happy to hear your boy was his happy self again! And eating all the yummy chix and rice. Hope he is even better today! :D
Yeah! I'm so happy I could cry! :) can imagine you are exhausted emotionally from all this - thanks for the update. God bless Gonzo, saying prayers his recovery continues. Pleas give him a big snooter kiss from me!
I'm so glad to hear that Gonzo is getting better! I hope he'll be back to his old self completely, soon!
This is just great news! I hope you can have many more days/weeks/months with him. :)
HUGE lump in my throat and stinging tears. OMG! There are no words to explain how thrilled I am that Gonzo is so much better! As far as I'm concerned, it's a Christmas Miracle. May he continue to improve. Blessings on all of you. Gazillion hugs and kisses! :love::love::love::love:
So it turned out to be HGE all along... that's what I mentioned in an earlier post. I'm SO GLAD he is doing so much better!! Hugs to you and Gonzo!:love::love:
Oh I am so glad he is improving! I hope he continues to improve. Many hugs to you and Gonzo!
So glad to hear a good report. Im continuing to pray for Gonzos complete recovery.
