A mum says she was "cried everyday" after being told the body of her deceased dog was left 'rotting' for weeks. Dawn Stanley woke up to the news that her beloved dog Dotty, who died five weeks before, had been left 'in storage'.
Dawn first took Dotty to a local vet in Southport after she fell ill with an "upset tummy" but Dotty was sent home the same day as she was deemed well enough. But hours later, Dawn was in the car with Dotty and her son, driving up to the pet hospital in Huyton as Dotty was still in a "terrible state", the ECHO reports.
Staff from Vets Now, who run a night-time emergency service in the building, took Dotty in to care for her. Dawn said she "can't fault" the level of service and "brilliant and lovely" care the vets gave Dotty. She said at 1.30pm the vets called her to tell her Dotty had aspiration pneumonia, "meaning she'd probably been sick and inhaled some".
