A dog owner is warning other owners to be vigilant after her pet became seriously ill after walking in Weston-super-Mare. Karen Hayes’s labrador Dennis lost six kilos in weight after being continually sick following a walk on the fields at Haywood Village.
The two-year-old went into the rhynes and large puddles of water during the outing. Once home, he started to become unwell, vomiting and unable to keep any of his food down. After continuing to be sick he started with diarrhoea and was lethargic and not his normal playful self, reports Somerset Live.
Karen took Dennis to the vet who put him on digestive support medication and continued to monitor him. However his condition continued to worsen, with Dennis seeing the vet three times in one week.
