Devastated Vanessa Merrett has set up a fundraiser to help pay for vital cancer treatment for her beloved Labrador Wilson. The six-year-old dog is unlikely to survive beyond a month without treatment.
He is starting chemotherapy this week but the insurance does not cover the full course of treatment. Vanessa, who lives in Yate, needs £3,000 to cover the full cost, which could save Wilson’s life.
Vanessa said watching Wilson deteriorate rapidly in the past few weeks has been ‘heart wrenching’ and is concerned about how her son Fred, who she describes as ‘sensitive’, will cope with the potential loss of his ‘best friend’.
