3rd June 2011 - A very sad day for us all at Kevanor as Cassie had been admitted to the vets the previous week with Gastric Torsion, a very serious condition, she had an emergency operation to correct the problem & was allowed home 2 days later & seemed back to her usual self, but unfortunately a complication arose which resulted in her being rushed back into the vets again for an operation as she was very ill with peritonitis.
Sadly she never survived the operation leaving us all devastated at her loss, Cassie was a very special Boxer to us & taught us a lot about the breed, being our first homebred showgirl, our first Crufts qualifier, she had a fantastic temperament & above all was a wonderful family member, she will be greatly missed - RIP Cassie
