I’m assuming she is defecating frequently and not urinating. If so you might want to see if your vet wants to add in any medications for diarrhea/colitis. Sometimes an antibiotic for bacterial overgrowth can be helpful. If you have already exhausted treatment options or if your vet is not optimistic about Bella’s recovery then it may be time to discuss euthanasia.
