Our dog had a heart attack because of fireworks: Let your neighbours know
This time last year we had a healthy happy dog heading into his later days.
During the bonfire/firework period which lasted over three weeks, we experienced the loudest detonations we have ever heard which resulted on one occasion in our dog having a serious heart attack.
The result of this episode has meant that our beautiful canine friend Sam has a grade 5 heart failure and is committed to a daily, and most uncomfortable drug programme.
Our community is a very friendly group. If we had we been made aware of these extended celebrationsm we would have made arrangements for our pet to be cared for elsewhere.
This year, is it possible that those who are planning similar entertainment make friends and neighbours with animals are forewarned.
Sam, our dog will be away with his pills.
