PET OF THE MONTH
On the 11th June Marlie’s mum came home and found some Lilly pollen on her fur.
She managed to wash some of it off but took her to the After Hours vet as we were closed.
They discussed options and decided to treat Marlie for lilly toxicity as if this is left untreated it can be fatal.
They sedated her to put in and IV catheter (she was a bit wriggly!!)
