Paul O’Grady, 63, told his listeners on BBC Radio 2 on Sunday night his pet dog, Bullseye, died as he raced him to the vet. The For the Love of Dogs star, admitted he was devastated by the death of his dog, who suffered from epilepsy. Speaking on the BBC 2 radio show, he divulged: “I’ll tell you my lousy news. You know I did have an epileptic dog called Bullseye. “I’ve got two dogs who’ve both got epilepsy and I’ve managed it with medication. However, on Monday night he had a massive seizure, like a really bad one that he didn’t come out of.
“And on the way to the vet at 2 o’clock in the morning, he died in the car.”
The comedian revealed the problems did not stop there after he discovered one of his other dogs had eaten a piece of chocolate which prompted him to return to the vet a second time in the same evening.
He continued: “It gets worse. Then I go home from the vets and and one of my other dogs found a bar of chocolate that was 80 per cent cocoa had been left out stupidly. Not by me, I don’t like chocolate on the coffee table.
“So we had to go back to the same emergency vet for her to have her stomach pumped. Anyway we got her back two days later, looking worse for wear because she is covered in charcoal, because you know they give them charcoal at the vets.”
Paul went on to pay tribute to Bullseye but admitted he is reconsidering having any further pets.
