Three-year-old Flynn was rushed to the vets after he began uncontrollably shaking and drooling at his Glasgow home just weeks after being saved from the streets in Romania.
Scots dog owners have been issued a warning after a Romanian rescue pooch was struck down by a rare and deadly disease. Mixed-breed Flynn was saved from the streets of Bucharest by kindhearted Ciara McCormack and her partner Connor McGovern after they spotted him on a dog rescue website.
The team worked around the clock to stabilise the pooch before he was eventually well enough to go home with his owners. Ciara said: “It was really distressing to see Flynn so ill – especially when you think of everything he must have been through as a stray in Romania, where street dogs end up put down because there is no home for them, and then starting a new life here in Scotland.
“We could see it was very serious and if we hadn’t got him help straight away like we did then we would have lost him – which is just an unbearable thought. Since he came into our lives he’s been a part of our family and has brought us so much joy. Deputy lead emergency vet at Vets Now Glasgow, Nicole Laws, who led Flynn’s care, said: “With Addison’s Disease the adrenal glands which sit on top of the kidneys don’t produce enough of two hormones: cortisol, which is a stress hormone, and aldosterone, which controls electrolyte levels."
“His sodium level was the lowest I’ve ever seen in 20 years of practice. But the really pressing and most immediate issue was his very high potassium level which was putting him at severe risk of cardiac arrest. “Flynn was a lovely patient and very affectionate and quickly became a favourite with all the team. Seeing him bounce back and ready to go home brought great joy to all of us, especially given his background as a rescue dog.
