Haemorrhagic gastroenteritis can take a massive toal on any dog. Bunty stands the best chance by staying in the vets on fluids until his guts can fight off the infection and rejuvenate. There is no guarantee that he will make it though, but it can take up to a week on fluids before they feel better.
