The animals were put to sleep after they were found
A woman who neglected two dogs so badly they had to be euthanised on welfare grounds has been banned from owning animals for three years.
SSPCA officers raided the farm in July 2020 and found the two collies living in a metal trailer with some fencing around it to create a makeshift run. There was no bedding and not enough water to sustain two dogs during the hot temperatures that day. Inspector Sloss said: "Dan appeared to be missing part of one ear, which Brolly said was the result of a fight with another dog several years ago. On closer inspection I was horrified to see that Dan had flesh falling away from both his ears. The smell of infection was overpowering and Dan was yelping when his head was touched.
Once both dogs were examined by a veterinary surgeon the true extent of both their conditions were revealed. Dan’s gums were inflamed and his incisor teeth were very worn. "The infection had eaten away the flesh at the entrance to his right ear canal and both ears were full of blood and pus. The infection had been allowed to continue for so long and become so severe it was now incurable and there was no chance of Dan recovering successfully. Therefore, the decision was made to put him to sleep and end his suffering."
“The dogs were in such a horrendous state that even a lay person would be able to identify these conditions and how they would cause suffering and pain. This pain was severe and inflicted needlessly over a prolonged period of time.
