The family had no idea the little spaniel was desperately ill when the bought her online.
Nicola Stevenson was thrilled when she found what she thought was the perfect pet to join her family in a Gumtree advert.
"They left and said give them a call anytime. She messaged me that night to ask if she'd settled in and if everything was ok, she was very attentive." "She tested positive for parvovirus and the vet said 'there is only two options I can give you now, we can euthanise her or head to Lanark veterinary hospital right away and they'll try and treat her.
"So we checked if any more ads were up and we couldn't believe it. There was another post up with more spaniel puppies but they were different breeds." "The practice on the vet card given is one we've never heard of and after some quick research we find that there isn't a practice with that name."They'll fill the back of a van with dozens of these puppies, bring them here and have them on Gumtree within 24 hours. They'll spread them to different addresses to make it seem as though they are coming from a home environment.
