Coco had urine scalding on her stomach and was unable to use her back legs or toilet independently
The RSPCA is appealing for information after a French bulldog who had lost the use of her back legs was dumped on the bank of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Burnley.
The RSPCA was alerted about the incident after Coco was discovered on the bank of the canal near the Finsley Gate Tesco Extra store at about 1pm on September 2. In a statement issued today , the charity has been told that someone had called the practice and was informed how much it would cost to have her euthanised, but she was never brought in.
RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Kelly Nix, said: "We’re extremely concerned about the very poor condition that Coco was in when she was found, and we’d like to thank the veterinary team and the member of the public who stopped and ensured she got the help she needed as quickly as possible. We believe she was abandoned on the canal because her owners couldn’t, or didn’t want to pay for her to be humanely put to sleep.
