Cleaner hit with £6,500 vet bill after dying dog comes down with unknown illness

A woman is overwhelmed with worry as her one-year-old puppy dramatically declines in veterinary hospital and she struggles to pay the funds. Heather Emberley, 60, from Wateringbury, Kent, took her boxer Clyde to the vets two weeks ago after he went off his food - medics are now struggling to diagnose his condition as his body has "gone into a crisis".

Heather, who works as a cleaner, is now desperately doing everything in her power to save his life. She told the Mirror: "It is so worrying and now they send me a daily text reminding me of the total. I really dread that text coming through. Christmas is looming, everything has gone up astronomically and now this enormous vets bill. I have no idea how I'm going to get it paid."
