A family has been left devastated after their puppy became unwell and died of a mystery illness after a simple walk in the park. Chloe Vickers says she took seven-month-old sproodle puppy Oscar to the park as she normally would do last Thursday, February 9, but within hours he was vomiting.
Days later, Oscar passed away at home surrounded by his family. Chloe has now urged all other dog walkers who take their pets to Wythenshawe Park, Manchester, to be vigilant for any signs of sickness, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Chloe said the park is always full of dog walkers and she took Oscar out for his walk on Thursday morning as usual and he was running around and playing as he normally would. She said they took a slightly different route from the café, into some woods and he was still being his usual self.
