A man left his dog's tumour untreated, leading to her becoming severely underweight and needing to be put down.
The Staffie, named Princess, had a lump on her belly, which was 6.4cm in diameter, as well as a large mass on her groin. She was lethargic and severely underweight with her ribs and pelvic bones protruding, while she was also suffering from a flea infestation.
Her owner, Anthony Rae, 29, had not sought vet treatment and it was not until a concerned neighbour intervened that Princes received medical treatment. The RSPCA was contacted and the elderly white and brown crossbreed was taken to the Greater Manchester Animal Hospital on June 15, 2022.
