NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Devoted Jac Williams sold her car and used an inheritance to pay £17,500 for a life-saving heart op – on her chihuahua.
Married Jac, 54, got £15,000 for her two-year-old Nissan Qashqai so little Louie could have a mitral valve repair.
Prof Daniel Brockman led surgeons in a four-hour op using general anaesthetic at London’s Royal Veterinary College. Louie’s heart was stopped for 90 minutes as a machine pumped blood around his body.
He spent two days in intensive care, was kept in for a week to recover and is now doing well at home three months on.
