Moss, a member of the Defra committee who is campaigning for wider recognition of
MRSA through her charity the Bella Moss Foundation, said: "The real problem is that vets are reluctant to admit they have a problem in their surgeries. They blame the owners but often they are operating in conditions that aren’t good enough.
"If I had known about MRSA in animals or understood the risk, Bella could have been saved not just from death, but from inhumane suffering."
