A woman's dog is fighting for her life after picking up a 'rat disease' whilst out on walk. The Dachshund contracted Leptospirosis and is now vomiting and not eating, reports Grimsby Live.
Natalia Fraczek, 18, says her dog, Ula, started feeling unwell after going for a walk in a local park last week. The dog-owner claims her pooch seemed fine post-walk but just four days later everything changed.
She says Ula began throwing up and refusing to eat or drink. After waiting for a day to see if the symptoms improved, the 18-year-old then took her pet to Blue Cross Hospital in Grimsby.
