Bella had surgery on Monday, July 6th. It went well, but she didn't have the shunt that they were looking for. They took a biopsy of her liver and the results came back yesterday. She has Hypatic Micro Vascular Dysplasia (I would explain but looking it up on Google would be much easier!). The vet said she should be fine! She doesn't require any medication, we just have to keep her on a special food. We are very happy to hear that she will be okay. I'm not sure what the future holds for Bella but for now she should live a normal life!

Her recovery is going well. She can't run or jump for two weeks. The poor girl is stuck in a kennel when we aren't here or on a leash by our side when we are. I have to say that I feel like someone who's baby just learned how to walk beause I have to watch her every move!  I am a little tired of not doing much but I know it is all worth it!  I ordered the Twilight books so I am going to start reading those tonight so that should keep me occupied!

The only problem we had was that she wasn't eating after her surgery. After a few days of barely getting much food in her we called the vet and he had us take her off her pain medication (which he said is really only neccesary for the first few days anyway). Other than that, she is fine!

Thanks so much for all your well wishes! I will continue to keep you updated when we know more! For now, though, I am hoping for a little less excitement!
