A heartbreaking incident unfolded yesterday morning when a six-week-old puppy was rushed into a local veterinary hospital struggling to breathe.
The owner arrived in tears, cradling the tiny pup, desperate for urgent help.
Veterinary staff acted immediately, performing X-rays that revealed the devastating cause: a large bone had become lodged in the puppy's oesophagus. Daily feeding of bones had caused extensive internal damage, leaving the tiny animal beyond recovery.
