A dog owner is warning of the dangers of rotting food for animals, after his four-legged friend Baz contracted a nasty fungal infection which could prove fatal. Mike Izzard, from Hatfield, is a popular member of the Hertfordshire town after he helped renovate a formerly abandoned rail station.
Throughout the project, he was helped by his trusty station mascot Baz, a Labrador. However, life has recently taken a turn for Baz after it was revealed that he may be suffering from a nasty fungal infection due to rotten food, which is a real danger to animals and could be 'virtually impossible' to cure.
Mike told HertsLive: "His illness has come down to two possibilities - firstly, a nasty fungal infection called 'nasal aspergillosis'. This has caused all the symptoms that Baz has been suffering from over the last couple of months, such as a snotty discharge from one of his nostrils plus inflammation and bone decay.
