That is very worrisome. Something is making her sick and it’s impossible to know the cause without a physical exam. I recommend to have Bella examined by her veterinarian today. The doctor may need to do some diagnostics to looks for a cause. I hope they get it figured out quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.
