Help!!!!!!!!!

At 6 months old Bella lost some fur on her paws, ears
and stomach. I took her to the vet and he said it was
probably allergies. Then I noticed the green
discharge and we started the tests. Then surgery and
so on.

She never did get a nice coat this winter. Her hair
on the tail is very thin but most of her hair that was
shaved for the surgey grew back.
