Just wanted to share how good Bella is doing. Â She stood up on her own at the vet and nibbled pieces of hotdog from me in the car on the way home. She is sleeping now and I have an ice pack wrapped in soft fabric on her wound. Â It was so wonderful to give her schnuffies. Â Her little sister Maya is concerned and curious but giving her space. Â I'll try and upload a few pictures. Â Thanks to all for being there for us.
Great news! Â So glad she is home! Â
