“#Puppy reportedly dies in UK after swallowing discarded face mask<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A family in the UK has been left heartbroken after their 16-month-old cocker spaniel, Oscar, reportedly swallowed a discarded COVID-19 face mask and died.<\/p>\n

Oscar\u2019s owner Emma Paul said that during their recent daily stroll in Chester, the tragic pup ate the mask and developed sepsis after its wire perforated his intestine, according to CheshireLive.<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite the best efforts of veterinarians, their beloved pet succumbed to the infection.<\/p>\n

Paul said the family found Oscar lying still the morning after the fateful walk.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had been his perky and bouncy self the previous day having had his normal two-times-a-day walk over the weekend and racing after tennis balls in the garden whilst the boys played cricket,\u201d she told CheshireLive.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe became a little subdued and off his food, which was really unusual, but it was on the following morning when we came downstairs that he was obviously not at all himself and did not make any motion to move,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe rang the vets straightaway and they ran some blood and other tests as they first believed it might have been some sort of toxin poisoning. He was put on drips and closely monitored,\u201d Paul continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vet recommended he be taken to the specialist vet hospital at Chester Gates later that afternoon for overnight care. Further investigations took place and he had a blood transfusion,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey undertook an X-ray and also discovered he had sepsis by Tuesday afternoon, so operating was the only thing they could do at that point, but they soon realized, once they\u2019d opened him up, that the damage to his intestine was just too great for him to survive as a wire had perforated into his intestine,\u201d the distraught woman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vets confirmed that the wire was from a face mask that he\u2019d eaten at some point over the weekend whilst out walking,\u201d Paul added.<\/p>\n

Paul said she and her family are \u201cvery upset\u201d over Oscar\u2019s \u201cneedless death.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe walk him along Duke\u2019s Drive every day and down towards the River Dee at weekends and there\u2019s always a lot of litter. My husband regularly picks litter up when doing the morning walk,\u201d she told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was clearly not at all intentional, but it\u2019s just so sad that it was a face mask that has caused this to happ<\/a>en,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The grieving family has put up notices at their local park warning people about the dangers of littering, the UK\u2019s Metro reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Written from the late pooch\u2019s perspective, the notice reads: \u201cI was very playful, adventurous, incredibly loyal, loving and happy. I loved swimming and ball game<\/a>s but I do admit to being a little bit greedy and I loved sniffing everywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came here every day to play but last weekend I found and ate a facemask\u2026big mistake!\u201d it continues. \u201cDespite their best efforts they were unable to save me and I died. So, unlike you, I will not be around any longer to play here in the woods or down by the river and my family are all really sad.\u201d<\/p>\n

The note adds: \u201cPlease please think about me and all my friends and instead of dropping and leaving behind litter\u2026kindly dispose of these items safely and responsibly.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
