Update
Bella came home last night and was full of wiggles when she saw us. She has a long road ahead of her but is showing improvement every day. The vet told us today she is about 30% better than she was.
Her test results came back and it looks like this nasty bug stems back to Bortadella. Now that the vet is 100% sure of what is causing all of this he says she should be back on her feet in a couple of weeks. The poor thing is sooo skinny right now, but we'll work on that!
What a nightmare all of this has been. But I will walk away from it with a whole new perspective on people. I have seen the true good in people and the absolute worst. Now that Bella seems to be on the road to recovery, I will continue to campaign for those other poor pups who can't. I know I cannot save them all, but maybe getting Bella's story out there will discourage people from buying from the pet store and lining their pockets.
Will keep you posted!
Much love and thanks to all of you from Bella & I.
