Bella

Not the greatest news, but had to take Bella back to the vet this morning. They were busy and I could not get through by phone (darn Monday mornings) so I just dropped her off on the way to work, as I was so concerned about her. I had noticed yesterday she was lethargic and just kind of hiding out, laying on the cold marble in the hallway. First I figured she was tired from all the company and also hiding from her six children that continue to want to nurse, despite being able to eat regular puppy food.
Then this morning, when I picked her up, I noticed she felt hot and felt her teets were all swollen and hard again. Horrible! Darn! This is awful and I feel so guilty she is going through this.
I know she is in good hands - the vet is testing to see what bacteria is causing this infection so that we can target it with the correct antibiotic. With Bella being at the vet's, the babies have to eat their normal food. I played with them this morning in the backyard, trying to wear them out so they would sleep for a long while.
I am at work but I keep thinking about Bella and the puppies. Tom is at home, but I am sure I will head home sooner rather than later...
