Our vet team in Glasgow did incredibly well to react to two dozen puppies being admitted with short notice. With the help of the whole team, every pup received a full nose-to-tail health check, including faecal testing, which found them to be infested with protozoal parasites and round worms. All were treated with antiparasitic treatment (fleas, worm, mites, etc.) and six of the pups were found to have live ear mites so they received ear drops on top of this.<\/p>\n<p>After the pups had received their health check and treatment, the centre split the pups over three rooms to make it easier for cleaning and to give them more space. They were given ongoing vet treatment over the following days which was no easy feat to administer as they all looked very similar! The pups were carrying an infection that could have infected the team so they had to wear full PPE when caring for them. All of the pups were fed multiple times a day and they were given lots of TLC.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section><a id=\"prosecution\"><\/a>\n<section class=\"text-block my-5\" data-bs-theme=\"white\">\n    <div data-aos=\"fade-up\" class=\"container-xl wrapper-sm\">\n        <div class=\"content-wrap\">\n            <h2>Prosecution Results<\/h2>\n<p>Understandably, there will be questions surrounding legal action taken with responsible parties however, this case is still ongoing.

Piper&#8217;s diagnosis and operation was conducted by Dr Chris Parratt free of charge at CrumPets and aftercare was provided free of change at his partner practice, <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240815204646\/https:\/\/emergencyvetsglasgow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emergency Vets Glasgow<\/a>. They perform this operation in puppies 3-5 times per year and are one of the few centres in Scotland that can offer this procedure. Without treatment, most puppies die due to heart failure within one year of age. In Piper&#8217;s case, they were able to operate soon after diagnosis and before permanent damage had been done to her heart. Follow-up examinations and an ultrasound scan revealed that the operation has been a complete success!<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward six months and Piper, now called Skye, is truly living her best life with Jemma and Ryan from Linlithgow and their three sons: Finlay (13), Lochlan (11) and Brodie (9). Jemma says that Skye has settled in really well and the whole family absolutely adore her. They&#8217;re finding they&#8217;re going on more walks now, including trips to the beach and stopping into cafes for doggy ice creams, and the boys have loved teaching Skye new tricks such as sit, come, catch treats and give paw. Skye has loads of new doggy friends who she has regular play dates with. We were thrilled to hear that when Jemma took Skye for a check-up at their vets,\u00a0they said that she was in full health and her heart was functioning fine, thanks to the collaborative\u00a0work carried out by our team and CrumPets.<\/p>\n<article class=\"align-center media media--type-image media--view-mode-full\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-visually_hidden\">\n<div class=\"field__label visually-hidden\">Image<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<h6>We shared this heart-warming update with CrumPets:<\/h6>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;It has been several months since Skye&#8217;s operation, and we are overjoyed to hear that she is thriving.
