Owner Philip Robertson has now been banned from keeping animals for the rest of his life
An emaciated dog had to be put down after her owner claimed he could not afford to take her to a vet.
"She was visibly very thin with every bone showing. When I tried to get her to stand up her feet were buckling underneath her and she wasn't able to walk more than a couple of steps. She had discharge in both of her eyes and ears and she was also coughing and it appeared to be a struggle for her to breathe.”
The following day, Sacha’s condition deteriorated further. Her dyspnoea was worsening and it was becoming even harder for her to breathe. The vet who gave evidence in the case said Sacha would have been suffering for many weeks as a minimum, and likely longer. “Ultimately she had endured suffering unnecessarily. Regardless of the cause of the poor body condition, lethargy and respiratory distress and whether treatable or not, veterinary treatment should have been sought much earlier in this case.”
