Vet's devastating diagnosis after family's pet dog woke up paralysed

A family feared their dog was going to die after he became paralysed overnight.

Janet Jones, from Aigburth, first realised something was wrong with her dog Fletcher when she got some cheese out of the fridge and he didn't move. The four-year-old Cavapoochon was completely unable to move his back legs when he was referred to Linnaeus-owned Northwest Veterinary Specialists (NWVS) in Runcorn.

Dog owner Janet said: “Overnight, Fletcher lost the use of both back legs and our own vet indicated a spinal problem. We were devastated as Fletcher is our first family pet and we are all besotted with him as he’s such a lovely, sweet boy.”
