✨ A Heart‑Warming Update: Bella’s Miracle Journey, 9 Years On ✨
Every so often, we receive an update that fills our hearts right up — and Bella’s story is one we’ll never forget. 💛
Bella, a beautiful crossbreed, first came to Davies nine years ago with severe back pain. She was diagnosed with discospondylitis, a serious infection of the intervertebral disc. Despite intensive antibiotics and pain relief, Bella remained in significant discomfort. Further tests revealed that the infection had caused instability in her lower back.
Faced with a difficult decision — and knowing there were risks due to the infection — our team, led by Emilie, chose to stabilise Bella’s lumbosacral joint using screws and bone cement. It was complex surgery… but Bella showed us just how strong she really is. 💪🐾
To our delight, her pain eased shortly after surgery, and she went on to live a wonderfully happy life.
And today?
We’re overjoyed to share this message Bella’s owner recently sent to Emilie:
“Thank you so much for all your help with Bella 9 years ago. Bella is now 10 years old and without your help she wouldn’t have seen one — let alone ten — years old. She is my little miracle. She’s a little (ok, a lot!) wonky, but she’s still very happy and living a comfortable life with her sister Rosie. We’re so grateful she’s still with us after everything she went through. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts — we will never forget what you did for Bella.”
💛🐶 Bella may be a little greyer now, but she has grown older with such grace — and we couldn’t be prouder of the life she’s living.
Thank you to Bella’s family for sharing this beautiful update. Stories like hers remind us why we do what we do.
