Sponsor pet
Jean is very grateful for all of the support and medical care PDSA gives Tommy. She comments "They are so dedicated to keeping Tommy healthy. Without them he would not be here today!"
Tommy (aged 9) first became ill after his owner, Jean, lost one of her other beloved dogs. At first it seemed that Tommy was pining for his friend: he was lethargic all the time. But it soon became clear it was much more than that.
Tommy was diagnosed with Addison's disease, caused by a hormone deficiency. But sadly worse was to come for this poorly little dog. Just a year later he was found to have a heart murmur too.
Tommy needs daily steroids to control his Addison's disease and heart murmur. And he'll need them for the rest of his life. Happily, with this medication he lives a virtually normal, pain-free existence.
