She was given the tick and flea 'medicine' Bravecto, and 16 hours after administration she developed very severe symptoms of poisoning. A few days later she was treated intravenously by a specialist vet with a special greasy emulsion (twice), which may have saved her life.
The owner Laura had almost gotten to the point where she thought it was no use in letting her suffer any longer. Fortunately, she went to a specialist vet practice, and after the treatment her condition quickly improved. She was still walking badly and had serious vision problems.

It is quite possible that it is precisely this treatment that has made the difference for Qrispy ...
