How gifts in Wills make a difference
Two-thirds of the pets seen by our vets are treated thanks to gifts in Wills. Your generosity means we can be there for pets like Wilma.
Wilma, a one-year-old Cocker Spaniel, was rushed to PDSA for immediate treatment after accidentally chewing on an inhaler.
Vets discovered had a fast heart rate, and she was admitted straight away for intravenous fluid therapy to keep her hydrated and close monitoring. Wilma’s fast heart rate continued so it was touch and go through the night, but thanks to PDSA vets, her heart rate came down and she was soon back to being her normal, mischievous self.
Wilma’s owner, Sarah, is extremely grateful to PDSA and said: “I dread to think what would have happened if PDSA didn’t exist, as I would have struggled to afford the full cost of Wilma’s treatment. Me and Wilma have a special bond, so I was devastated when she became unwell. I’m happy to have her back home and healthy.”
