A North Lanarkshire mum who 'smelled death' after her house became overrun with rats and giant slugs has been left 'gravely concerned' for the health of her two young kids.
Shelley Rock, from Moodiesburn, began smelling something odd in her property last week, with fears quickly growing it was to do with rodents she and neighbours had spotted scurrying down the communal lane that runs behind their homes during the summer.
Things quickly worsened on Friday when her six-year-old dog, Hugo, was rushed to an emergency vet appointment. Medics confirmed his extreme sickness and diarrhoea may have been due to ingesting rat droppings or urine.
