Bruiser was extremely underweight, had prominent ribs, spine and hip bones
A man has been banned from owning dogs for two years after his own was found in 'extremely' poor condition.
The pooch weighed in at 13.8kg, at least five kilograms under the normal weight for a dog of his breed. Graham pleaded guilty to failing to provide an adequate diet or veterinary treatment for Bruiser at Hamilton Sheriff Court on August 2, 2023.Scottish SPCA chief inspector, Heather Lawson, said: “No clinical reason could be found for his weight loss and it was determined it was most likely due to a poor diet rather than an underlying medical condition.
“We’re pleased Graham received a ban as, although he seemed to be aware that Bruiser was clearly in poor condition, he did nothing to resolve the situation.
