PDSA vets are warning pet owners about the dangers of slug pellets after crossbreed Milo mistook the toxic pellets found in the family garden for a dog-friendly meal. On realising this, his owner Zoe Earle (40) of Southampton, rushed the poor pup for emergency treatment.

After days of intensive care from the PDSA team, alongside out-of-hours care from Vets Now, Milo miraculously survived his awful ordeal.
