A mischief-making cat called Pickle used up one of his nine lives when he chewed through a Christmas lights cable. Pickle suffered an electric shock and gave out a yelp of pain – but other than being mildly embarrassed he appeared to have survived totally unscathed.
But his owners Leigh Downes and partner Max – who gave him his name because he is always getting in a pickle – were still concerned. So, they got in touch with the innovative Video Vets Now service to get an on-camera consultation with a qualified emergency vet.
And after a couple of minutes of being uncharacteristically camera-shy, ginger tom cat Pickle was eventually persuaded to join the video call. Leigh and Max coaxed Pickle into opening his jaws wide so that emergency vet Raquel Amils-Arnal could see inside his mouth.
