Eagle-eyed kennel staff spotted he wasn’t looking well and he was rushed to the vets for treatment
A Police dog almost lost his life after suffering a life-threatening condition easier this week. Eagle-eyed kennel staff spotted PC Odin looking unwell, and he was rushed to the vets for life-saving treatment on Tuesday.
In an update posted today, Durham Police said:
“Poor PD Odin had a rough day on Tuesday.
Our kennel hands spotted he wasn’t looking very well and had started foaming at the mouth.
We bluelighted him to the vets where they confirmed he had a life-threatening condition called bloat, causing a twisted stomach and spleen.
Sadly, we were told he wouldn’t survive more than a few hours without immediate surgery costing in excess of £3,000, which we agreed to pay immediately.
We’re over the moon to say the surgery went well and Odin is recovering with his handler.
We’d like to thank our amazing eagle-eyed kennel staff who no doubt saved Odin’s life.
Here’s a little picture of Odin taken by his vet, looking a little sorry for himself.”
