A couple have been given devastating news just two days after buying a puppy. Raf Cieslicki and his partner Daria Cieslicka, from Southport, Merseyside were told by the vet that their 11-week-old cockapoo Bella would need live-saving surgery.
Raf and Daria need to raise £3,000 in a week to fund Bella's surgery after she was diagnosed with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). PDA is a hole in the artery that fails to close after birth and if left untreated can prove fatal.
The vet wants Bella to go under the knife within a week to give her the best possible chance of survival. Her operation is scheduled for Thursday, March 24.
