A desperate pet owner has set up on on line fund raiser in a bid to save her desperately ill spaniel.
Clair Ireland is the Exwick owner of Chance, a male Springer Spaniel and needs help with vets bills following the onset of Immune Malicited Thrombocytopaenic disease due to potentially ingesting rat poison two months ago. This causes internal bleeding as a lack of platelets means the blood in unable to clot.
Clair who suffers from health problems herself has been having Chance treated at her local veterinary surgeons and at present the outstanding bill stands at £2,300, Clair is now desperate as the vets have said that they can't treat him any further without the bill being significantly reduced, sadly as she is unemployed Clair is unable to do this one her own, however with the help of her friends she has set up a fund on www.gofundme.com to enable people to help by donating towards Chance's fees in the hope that further treatment will be possible.
Clair has had Chance, now 10 years old, since he was 10 weeks and he has been her constant companion through thick and thin. . Clair is a true animal lover and really doesn't want to have to make the decision to stop treatment. Clair is also a foster carer for dogs rescued from Romania and helps to provide a loving caring home for them before a permanent home becomes available.
