Bella is back to normal!
Thank you for helping Bella through her illness. We have had very windy conditions here and we believe she ate pedals from a toxic flower that blew into our yard from somewhere. Our dogs are in the house most of the time and they have a lot of active time in the yard but we go out with them to encourage exercise and to keep them safe because we have heard of coyotes attacking dogs of all sizes not to mention mountain lions! We are very careful about what they come in contact with but having a huge fenced yard it is hard to see everything. My only complaint with Nationwide is that we rescued Bella and her brother from a bad situation and were told they were a mix, shepherd and lab. I didn't realize they could have a hereditary issue until Bella was diagnosed with hip and elbow dysplasia. We have her on cosequin and a special prescription diet to help her feel better and monitor the severity daily but we can't afford to pay $15k - $20k for surgeries that are not covered.
