A 12-year-old military veteran dog was rushed to the vets after vomiting blood. Mo, the "perfect" Labrador, was later diagnosed with a life-threatening tumour on her stomach. Her owners are now appealing for help and support to save her life and give her the retirement she deserves.
Charlie Cridland, a former search dog handler in the British army, rehomed Mo in 2019. He said that Mo had an "eventful" career serving five years overseas for the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, completing several search tours of Afghanistan as an IE3D search dog. Mo also won a silver medal at the International Canine Biathlon in Belgium for her work.
Ten days ago, Mo started vomiting blood after suffering a hemorrhage in her stomach, and without a second thought, her owner took her straight to their local vets in Bridgend. As Maes Glas Vets in Brackla didn't have the extensive equipment to diagnose the issue, Mo was referred to Highcroft Referrals Unit in Bristol. Charlie said that Mo received "outstanding" treatment from both practices.
