It's A Dogs Life.....

Prayers For Nina.....

It’s been a very important and vital week for one of our dogs, and my kennel sweetheart. Nina had been down for a couple of days, when SHAK Animal Welfare Assistant Andrew decided that she’d taken a turn for the worse, and contacted the vets to get her down to be checked out. It was a good job he did, because in doing so he saved Nina’s life. Scans revealed that Nina was suffering from Pyometra, a serious infection of the womb. It generally affects older dogs, soon after they are in season (estrus/heat), and if not treated, it is often fatal. Thanks to the team at Alnorthumbria Vets and Andrew’s quick thinking, and tonight I’m pleased to say Nina is recovering well after surgery.
