***UPDATE*** Merlin is home!!! 🐾🐾🌭

So after a long day of tests, an xray, and lots of waiting, Merlin has been diagnosed with haemorrhagic gastroenteritis. Hes got lots of medicine and a bald neck where theyve taken blood, and a follow up tomorrow morning with the vet. We’ve been given the out of hours number in case he deteriorates overnight. But the main thing is….hes home 💞💞🐾🐾🌭🌭🌭

When he’s able to eat again make him some homemade chicken and white rice. My vet suggested when my little doxie was sick with same condition. Works wonders! Pray for speedy recovery for you lil man.

I’m so glad to see Merlin home and hopefully feeling better soon, give his a little kiss from us all here and let him know that he is the goodest pupper x

I found heating up the gastro diet food and/ or the chicken rice made for more interest in eating. Not hot, just warm.

Aw, Puppin. Glad Merlin is home and you have some answers. Get well soon, little buddy. ♥️

so glad. praying for you guys!

YAY. HGE is pretty common diagnosis but it comes with horrible symptoms that either come from the front or the back! So glad he’s home!

Poor little man. Glad he is home surrounded with your love. I will pray that he gets better soon and gets back to his usually Doxie self💜🐶💜

Doxie pups napping on sofa in solidarity with you. Best wishes from Austin.

Feel better, Merlin! Your owner is taking good care of you! I love his name btw ❤️

I am so happy he is home and I hope he gets better soon. I think he will be ok with some TLC and a special diet. He looks like a sweet pup. Sending hugs and well wishes to Merlin and Family.💙😊💙

If darling Merlin still isn’t eating well, try feeding him a couple of spoons of canned 100% pumpkin. If you can’t find that, pumpkin baby food works. I’m not sure if you can find canned pumpkin in the UK, but I think you can get pumpkin baby food at Asda.

So excited and happy for you!

I’m so glad to see him back

Yeah it’s scary that’s for sure! I’m just glad he’s okay!!

Sending good thoughts.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Merlin. He looks so sweet.

So glad your baby is home. So scary! He looks a lot like my sweet boy before his face turned white with old age. 🐶🌭🐾

Sending all the good Doxie juju we can. We have mini reds, something about these dogs just gets ya right smack in the center of the heart. Merlin is absolutely beautiful and we hope he makes a speedy and full recovery. 🙏✨🙏

Glad he’s home and hope he recovers quickly.

Sending Merlin lots of good energies and prayers 💕

Thank you for the update. I’m glad he’s home. ❤️🤗

These guys are tough. Thanks for the update.

I’ve been thinking about Merlin! So glad to see he’s home and resting. I hope you get some rest, too.

Sleep well Merlin

My first dachshund had HGE. It was scary because of the blood. But if you caught it early, there is a good chance. Happy for you that he is home.

Glad he is on the mend! The younger of my two long dogs had the same issue about a month ago: started with vomiting ended with passing blood which required a trip to the ER at 1am. A bunch of fluids via IV and some antibiotics and he bounced back within 24hours – and he wasn’t in good shape when we took him in: dry warm nose, lethargic. Vets said he was in slight shock. So here’s to hoping Merlin is right as rain real soon!

Glad he’s doing better. So hard when our little wieners aren’t well.

Good job, Merlin!!! Get well soon! Sending you hugs and boops!

Ah bless him, wishing him a speedy recovery
