Poppy
In tonight’s puppy special: Three-month-old Springer Spaniel puppy Poppy was treated by Noel in 2016 when she presented with some of the worst front leg deformities he had ever seen. Poppy was found abandoned in a garden, likely due to her deformities. Noel is faced with the challenge of finding a solution for her adopted family to give the young puppy a future and most importantly a quality of life without pain.
Outcome
In this puppy special episode of The Supervet: Noel Fitzpatrick, we revisit Poppy's original story featured in series 9 episode 11 and catch up with her family to see how she's doing now.
