When she didn’t been available in, alarm bells began to ring.
“My child and I tried to find her all over the flat – under beds, in cabinets, behind furnishings – all over we might consider, however we simply couldn’t discover her. By that point I was hysterical.
“In desperation, I went onto the balcony, and when I looked down I saw her lying in our downstairs neighbour’s yard. It was beyond horrendous, we were all beside ourselves. I ran downstairs in my pyjamas and socks and banged on my neighbour’s door so I could get into the yard to help Oreo.”
Despite right away hurrying Oreo to the veterinarians, Melanie was not able to pay for the treatment as she struggles with ill-health and her other half is her carer – leaving her not able to devote to pricey veterinary treatments.
