A young dog who shattered his paw jumping from a balcony while chasing a rabbit has made a full recovery, thanks to a Horsham vet.

One-year-old cocker spaniel Jarvis fractured his metatarsal bones, which connect his ankle to his toes, when he leaped 2.5 metres from a balcony after spotting a rabbit nibbling grass down below.

Due to the serious nature of his injuries, he was referred to Anderson Abercromby Veterinary Referrals, a veterinary practice in Warnham which specialises in orthopaedic surgery.
