Anthony McSherry, from Liverpool, rushed beloved two-year-old pet Splodge to his local vets after he collapsed at home.

Splodge was quickly referred to Linnaeus-owned Northwest Veterinary Specialists (NWVS) in Sutton Weaver for further investigations.

‘The added anxiety for Anthony was that Splodge is his 20-year-old daughter Molly’s cat - and she was sitting an exam at home, so was completely unaware of the scare surrounding her precious pet.

Anthony said: “It was such a shock and I honestly thought Splodge was going to die.

“He couldn't walk, his eyes were glazed and he kept having seizures.
