Airdrie couple who starved dog and neglected another with 'ear full of tumours' allowed to keep pets

A couple from Airdrie has been handed a fine and supervision order after allowing their dog to become bone "skin and bone" and failing to get another veterinary treatment for an ear "full of tumours".

The SPCA attended the home of Brian Smith, 39, and Patricia O'Donnell, 34, in April 2021 following multiple reports of concern for a dog.

Their report details finding a Labrador-cross type dog "extremely underweight" and "cowering away". An examination of a second dog found it to be suffering from bilateral ear disease and dental issues.
