3 Vet clinics in the area have had suspiciously similar cases which is what has made this flare up unusual. The clinical signs themselves not unusual, any dog can have an issue with an internal gastro-intestinal bleed; the odd thing is there seem to be a bunch of dogs all with these Illness signs pretty high up on the scale, yet the dogs themselves are not as collapsed as one would expect.
\nThe dogs are not like the usual suspects for bloody gastro-intestinal signs like Parvo\/Corona\/HGE\/Rat Bait\/Snake Bite cases etc hence we are doing a quick survey to see if we can collect & collate more data on other cases to narrow down the trigger and alert all the other vet clinics to be aware of this issue.<\/p>\n

Qwners\/Cats have not contracted the symptoms\/signs but good hygiene should still be observed around these ill dogs.<\/p>\n

We have put up a questionnaire on our App under Contact Us button if you want to reply anonymously.<\/p>\n

You can also send your information directly to the clinic via our email:

\n
