Brave Bruce who was left paralysed by a sudden and rare life-threatening illness but has made an amazing recovery – thanks to fourteen days of round-the-clock veterinary care from our Manchester Hospital team and the incredible love of his family.
David Owen, a vet surgeon, who was part of our Manchester team which looked after Bruce, said: “Sonja did absolutely the right thing in seeking help very early – and that’s undoubtedly one of the things that helped saved Bruce’s life. Tetanus can progress rapidly, leading not only to rigidity of the muscles affecting the limbs, but also those that control vital functions, such as swallowing and breathing.
