A leading West Lothian vet saved the life of a beloved dog whose mouth had been punctured by a stick.
Four-year-old Sprocker, Lola, was referred to Linnaeus-owned Veterinary Specialists Scotland (VSS), in Livingston, for emergency care after being left unable to move her mouth properly due to the mysterious swelling.
Lola arrived at VSS suffering from a severely swollen tongue, with swelling extending under the jaw. She was struggling to make any movement with her mouth and tongue and was continually drooling.
