Well, I think we should rename our dog to "Bella the Wonder-Dog". She is truly an amazingly strong dog. We had more bloodwork done on Monday to recheck her values after she had been off iv fluids and home for a few days. We got the results yesterday and they looked great. Her creatinine levels were normal (which is nothing short of miraculous) and she is not anemic of dehydrated. To look at her, you would never know she almost died a week ago. Our prayers were definitely answered.
She has finished up one medicine that was used to protect her stomach from ulcers, she has a couple more days to go on the other stomach med and then she will be on a kidney medicine indefinitely, more as a maintenance med than anything else. We can handle this. It is a little ironic, however, that the dog who willingly ate 95 ibuprofen tablets will not take her one pill, twice a day, even hidden in treats. Silly dog...but we love her!

Wonderful news! Now we know God answers prayer for dogs.
About the pill-taking, I think my little Abby was a rare breed, because she usually swallowed the pills along with the treat. I only had to fight her over a pill on rare occasions. Best of luck with Bella on that!
Yea, Bella for healing so quickly!
I SO feel your pain on the pills. Kaegan is the same way. When Angela lived here, it took both of us to hold him down for a pill he had to take for projectile pooping. I have only had to give him pills once since and I'm not even kidding about the prayer meeting I had before every single medication attempt.
but YAY for a dog feeling so much better!! WOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
