She was prohibited from keeping all animals and will not have the ability to appeal for 5 years. She will likewise need to pay £720 in expenses.
Inspector Green included: “Purvis stated in an interview that she was aware that Skye had a skin problem and that her nails were overgrown. A reasonable owner would have ensured that Skye was taken to a vet for veterinary treatment.
“If people are struggling to cover the costs, there are a number of charities which provide help for veterinary care for pet owners in financial difficulties. People can also work with their vet to spread the cost of treatment. There is no excuse for allowing any pet to get into the state Skye was in.”
