Video - Springer Spaniel near death after botched surgery meant it had to have intestines removed

A springer spaniel was just days away from death after botched surgery left the dog needing its intestines removed.

Craig Hopson, 54, owner of two-year-old Alfie, said he has been left with a bill for £10,000 after his pet pooch required extensive surgery to remove parts of his digestive system to stem a deadly blood poisoning.
