Susan, 57, from Daws Heath, says she would have done anything to save Elsie, adding: “It was so awful to watch her go from being so full of life, she lost nine kilograms in the space of a day. “Even with the anti-sickness vaccines which the vets gave her she continued to be sick, the virus eats away the intestines and is probably the most horrific way for a dog to die. “Medivet gave the option of keeping her in for two weeks, but there was no guarantee they’d be able to help her. I couldn’t bear to see her like it, so made the difficult decision to say our goodbyes.”
