An agility dog who collapsed at training has been given a new lease of life thanks to a pioneering procedure successfully performed by experts at Veterinary Specialists Scotland (VSS) in Livingston.
Ace, a seven-year-old border collie who has competed nationally at dog agility competitions, was taken seriously ill at an agility training session. She simply lay down before starting her usual warm up so was taken home.
Ace showed no further symptoms and went out for her usual walk the following morning. However, at lunchtime, her owner noticed a deterioration in her breathing so made an appointment with their own vet that afternoon.
