Dog needs £6k operation after grass stuck up nose
- 7 months ago
A woman who spent £6k on an operation for her dog blames the council for not clearing grass properly - and wants her money back.
Michele Wingfield, 60, took pet pooch Masie, nine, to the vets when she couldn't stop sneezing.
A scan found grass seeds in the Westie's nose - which needed a £5k operation to remove.
More seeds were then found in Masie's paw two weeks later, which cost a further £800.
Michele, a carer from Hartley, Kent, now wants Kent County Council to pay her back - claiming workers didn't clear mounds of cut grass properly.
