We were staying near Chagford for a few days last week with our 2 cavalier kc spaniels - one aged 9 and the other a pup at 11 months. This was the first little holiday from home with our little pup who has had such a struggle in his short life, having being diagnosed with a brutal auto immune condition when he was only 11 weeks old . We are currently tapering down his medication and relapse is always a risk .
On the Friday morning I noticed that our pup had a gloopy eye. I was frozen with fear that this was the start of a relapse - to say I panicked was probably an understatement!
I dropped into Okeford vets on our morning walk into chagford & spoke to a lovely helpful & understanding receptionist . By 10:45 the same morning, our records had been sent over from home & we were seen by your vet, Claudia . She was so calm and reassuring and took her time examining Albie very carefully & thoroughly and confirming we were dealing with mild conjunctivitis. … panic over!!
This cleared up super quickly & we were able to enjoy our little break.- little Albie had an absolute blast on his first little holiday .
Thank you to the excellent team at Chagford that looked after us all so well :)
