Meet Crumpet, my beautiful Labrador rescue 🥰🩷
I rescued Crumpet as a puppy, as a veterinary nurse in London. She was diagnosed with neosporosis (Neospora caninum), a parasitic disease that can affect the muscles and nervous system, often causing weakness, mobility issues and permanent muscle changes.
Her journey hasn’t always been easy. Crumpet requires lifelong treatment and ongoing monitoring, but she has faced every challenge with determination and a wagging tail.
Now aged 5, she is thriving and continues to remind me every day why I chose a career in veterinary nursing. Caring for a dog with a chronic condition has given me a deeper understanding of the support, guidance and compassion owners need when navigating long-term health conditions with their animals.
Crumpet is more than just my dog. She is my inspiration, my teacher and the reason Rolling Paws exists today.
A diagnosis doesn’t define an animal. With the right care, support and commitment, they can still live happy, fulfilling lives ⭐
