Woman spends life savings to save pet 'poisoned' during walk

A woman spent her life savings to save her sick dog after he began vomiting 'black liquid' following a walk. Kasia Wawrzyniak, 33, was left fearing for her beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier Gonzo when he fell unwell after a walk.

The pair had returned from their usual route near their home when Gonzo began vomiting black liquid. Gonzo was rushed to a veterinary hospital, where it was suggested that he could have eaten rat poison, or another toxic substance. And despite undergoing tests, his condition initially did not show any signs of improvement, the Daily Record reports.

Vets discovered evidence of internal bleeding, which left Gonzo needing a blood transfusion. He was discharged after six days but Kasia and her husband have been left with a four-figure vet bill for the countless tests and treatment he needed.
