A cruel dog owner has been fined after failing to get help for her dog when it had a weeping infection and claws so long they grew over her paw pads.
Daisy, a five-year-old Shih Tzu, had belonged to Siobhan Wallace, 36, from Kirkcaldy in Fife. The dog was removed from her care after SSPCA officers found her at Wallace's property with severely overgrown fur, discharge coming from an ear and overgrown nails.
A call had been made to the animal welfare charity by Wallace on March 9, 2021, who reported her dog was scratching incessantly with patches of hair loss.
