The Tale of Simon 

Simon owes his life to a kind member of the public who bought him in after being hit by a car! He was in a critical condition on arrival and after receiving vital veterinary care it became clear that Simon had suffered major injuries. He had extensive damage to his right eye, a painful and complicated fracture to his left canine tooth and a fracture involving the hard palate in his mouth. Eastcott Vets & nursing team fought hard to stabilise him and make him feel as comfortable as possible. Simon, despite all he had been through was a very affectionate and loving chap always keen for a cuddle! But no matter how much fuss he received he would not eat due to the injuries he had sustained.

Stinky Breath?
