What does the HSBA Garden Railway and a spotty dog have in common?!

Literally a life saved with funds raised by the fabulous Curtis, who hosted another successful Open Day to assist with the bill for a new arrival.

Max the dalmation came into our care as an emergency with urgent investigations needed when he continued to be very unwell with weight loss, diarrhoea and vomiting.

An X-ray revealed something odd looking and surgery followed. Vets were shocked at the size of what they discovered stuck in Max’s duodenum - see photo in comments.

Blood work showed his potassium levels were in his boots. It was a worrying time and the first 24-48 were critical. Max was admitted daily for potassium infusions and his levels crept up.

This all happened 5 weeks ago and we’re delighted to report that Max has made a full recovery and is now signed off from the vets and has been allowed his first off lead run after what was life saving surgery. Thank you to all in involved in Max’s care.🙏

It is now time to find this boy a 5* home. A separate 🏡 post will follow.
