Dear Mjo:

>The pathologist believed the disease is "out there" but was misdiagnosed
>as something else in the past. The disease is called GER (gastro
>esophagus rupture) or GIR (gastro intestinal rupture).
Sorry, haven't heard of anything like that. The signs that you describe
are consistent with a bleeding pyloric ulcer, which may be secondary to a
number of diseases, even some viruses, but generally aren't thought to be
caused by a virus.
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, dVM
