Another week, another fight 🙏🏻❤️🐶

Dear Friends,

It has been five weeks since Isabella fell ill. As you can see this biogram on March 8 was diagnosed with hepatic encephalopathy. The doctor indicated to perform monthly exams to see how she is responding to the medical treatment and the diet.

According to the new results, the doses of medicines could be modified and results can shows if the diet she has (although she eats very little) is helping to detoxify her liver.

Last week we had to do the biogram exam but there was a strong allergy to the skin that is not yet controlled. In addition, the exam must be done by the same veterinarian who knows the story of Isabella and unfortunately we have not yet been able to save the money that is still owed to him for the treatment and medication. As you can understand it is difficult to return to a veterinarian without having even fulfilled what was owed to him and even more to request other exams and medicines (Isabella only has medicines until Tuesday).

I have already started working because it is impossible to live without income. For now I can not do the usual hours or extra hours because it is difficult to leave Isabella alone at home and also go to the hospital to help my dad.

It seems that every week is a new fight Isabella eats little by little every day (even without the nutritional supplements) and trying to avoid that the allergy gets worse.

The exam is necessary to know if she really is improving, and to determine if her treatment is appropriate or we should modify any medicine or dose that she is currently receiving.

So far, my goal has been to get her to eat again, to have an appetite and more strength. Isabella eats a little more rice and vegetables but not as much meat as she should because it's really expensive here. She does not get dog food, she still has trouble chewing them.

I really appreciate that you have accompanied us these five weeks. Needless to say, without your help Isabella could not be with me at home or have the treatment with the medicines she is receiving.

This is a long process and although there are days that seem very dark to me, there is always a light at the end to keep going.

Please continue to support us with the most important thing that exists: your prayers and positive thoughts.🙏🏻

We love you so much ❤️🐶
