A Moray woman has been banned from keeping animals for five years after the death of her German Shepherd, described as 'one of the thinnest dogs seen' by a Scottish SPCA inspector
A Moray woman has been banned from keeping animals for five years after her malnourished and sick German Shepherd died. Nine-month-old Berlin was described as "one of the thinnest dogs seen" by a Scottish SPCA inspector who had been called by a vet.
Officers received a tip-off via their animal helpline on November 16, 2021, after the malnourished dog died after being brought to a local vet. Inspectors told the court they were able to feel all Berlin's ribs and pelvic bones. Inspectors noted it would have been obvious the dog was suffering from the disease for days before his death.
In a statement on Monday, Scottish SPCA senior inspector Lesley Crockett said: “The dog was in an emaciated condition and I could feel all his ribs and pelvic bones - he was one of the thinnest dogs I have seen. His eyes were sunken into his head and there was reddish staining on his paws.
