BIO: 
Bella is a very special young lady that has undiagnosed neurological issues. Her issues are not IVDD related however veterinarians have been unable to pinpoint exactly what the issues are. She is currently on a small dose of prednisone every day which helps with her issues. Bella is an extremely high energy dachshund but her exercise needs to be constantly monitored because over activity causes her to seize. She is also prone to involuntary body movements (not seizures) when over stimulated.
Bella loves to play with other dogs but that has to be seriously limited because of her disability. She is easily excitable and can sometimes be overbearing when playing with other dogs. Bella is a special needs dachshund that needs to be in a home that can afford her ongoing care and is experienced with the breed and caring for a dog with neurological issues. If you are interested in adopting Bella please contact her foster mom directly for additional information. We are happy to share all medical records and history that we have knowledge of and answer any questions you may have. We will be extremely particular to whom she is adopted to make sure that the home is the right fit for Bella.
