The owners of a puppy who contracted a serious bug at a city centre park say vets fighting for his life are running out choices.

Toby the Dachshund has been a patient at a vet hospital for over two weeks after falling sick following a walk in a Belfast park.

After showing signs of improving the pet pooch has taken a turn for the worse today, his first birthday, and now owners Chris Greenlee and Niamh Gilligan have been informed by vets they have “one more throw of the dice”.

Toby started to show signs of sickness 17 days ago, starting with lethargy and vomiting after his usual walk in Ormeau Park.
