RSPCA PROSECUTE OWNER AFTER DOGS 2 WEEK SKIN CONDITION

RSPCA INVOLVED IN YET ANOTHER NEIGHBOUR DISPUTE
HOW LONG BEFORE THE RSPCA PROSECUTE?
A DOG was left with a serious serious skin infection after its owner failed to take it to the vets, a court heard.
Hayley Lancaster, has been found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.
Pom, her seven-year-old tan Pomeranian dog, needed surgery after a neighbour found it covered in a skin disease caused by skin mites. The dog also had an infection.
Prosecutor Tony Stock said Lancaster caused the suffering by not taking the dog to the vet when it had a skin infection.
He added: “At 11.45am on August 28, RSPCA Insp Caroline Hall was asked to attend a destitute animal shelter in Bolton.

The dog was handed in as a stray.
In fairness the defendant quickly came forward. The dog had been handed in by a neighbour.
“Vet Sean Taylor examined the dog during the afternoon. The dog was found to have chronic skin changes associated with long-term skin disease. It had extensive scabbiness and its skin was inflamed.”
Mr Stock said the infection was secondary to the mites, which were thought to have been on the dog for several weeks.
“The vet’s professional opinion was the dog had been caused to suffer unnecessarily by the owner’s failure to seek veterinary treatment for two weeks, possibly longer,” he added.
The court heard Lancaster, aged 23, claimed she was going to take Pom to the vets the day the animal was handed into the RSPCA after realising the treatment she was using for the condition was not working.
Lancaster was said to have researched the condition herself after treatment she had been given for the animal was not working.
Pom remains in the care of the RSPCA and is said to be making a good recovery

the rspca must rub their hands together when a neighbour calls them re next doors pet, so in this caser the neighbour steals the dog, gets away with it and the owner gets prosecuted, despit treating the condition, you couldnt make it up !

We got so sick and tired of the RSPCA visiting us re our dog following constant complaints they were receiving from our neighbour that we moved.
Every time the RSPCA kept saying they had to investigate, every time they found nothing wrong with the dog, despite this they kept coming, same questions, same outcome, the RSPCA refused to treat the neighbour as a vexatious complainant.

RSPCA used to pester my 80 yr old mum because the old witch next door to her kept complaining about mums cat, eventually mum had the cat put to sleep because she didn't want the stresses of the RSPCA visits, this happend 4 or 5 times, nothing wrong with the cat, but when someone knocks on your door in uniform and alleges that you are not looking after your pet this is very traumatic, the RSPCA have a lot to answer for.
