Bravery Award – April 2019 – Herlew

A small tan Chihuahua named Herlew sits on a tiled floor, looking up calmly after recovering from dental treatment that included tooth removal due to severe ulceration.

Meet Herlew, a 10 year old Chihuahua who visited the NWVC with a very sore mouth. After careful examination under general anaesthesia, a large ulceration was found and nine teeth had to be removed! A sample of the ulceration was sent off to the lab to ensure that it wasn’t anything serious. The test returned with good results! Herlew’s mouth is looking much better and he is recovering well
