Duncan has been unwell recently with a nasty cough and chest infection he has been prescribed some antibiotics by the vet and these appear to have made an improvement. However the vet is concerned regarding his weight and the growth on his face. Duncan has now been placed on a very restricted diet so we would ask that no one feeds him any titbits at this moment until the vet gives the all clear. Duncan will be attending the vets surgery on Wednesday 4th March where he will receive a full mot and further tests to determine exactly what the growth is and we will update you over the coming weeks………..
