Daughter's plea over 'unimaginable loss'

- BY JEREMY ARMSTRONG

A BRITISH grandmother died from rabies after being scratched by a puppy while on holiday.

Yvonne Ford, 59, came back from Morocco in February unaware that she had been infected.

But the slight scratch was enough to cause the first rabies death here since 2018, which was also contracted in Morocco.

Her daughter, Robyn Thomson, said: "Our family is still processing this unimaginable loss.

"But we are choosing to speak up in the hope of preventing this from happening to others.

"After developing a headache she lost the ability to walk, talk, sleep, swallow, and ultimately died from the effects of the disease.

"We never thought something like this could happen to someone we love. Please take animal bites seri-ously, vaccinate your pets, and educate those around you."
