A dog owner warns that her dog had a near-death incident after visiting a popular Eryri lake. Zoe Trommelen noticed that Raven, an English Springer Spaniel, was acting “weird” and dropping in and of out consciousness on the drive home from Llyn Tegid, in Bala.
The 50-year-old made a roadside intervention that might just have saved Raven's life as she dashed across three counties to find help at a vet's. Zoe put her fingers down the four-year-old dog's throat to force her to throw up an “earthy smelling” goo of green and white.
North Wales Live reports that after Zoe managed to get Raven to the vet, she was told that her symptoms were similar to those of blue-green algae poisoning. Zoe shared the incident on social media which sparked concerns over the quality of water at Llyn Tegid, Bala, where blue-green algae can appear there after a spell of warm weather.
