A Scots woman is begging medics to amputate her leg after a horror dog attack has left her suffering from chronic ulcers at the site of her wounds. Margaret-Rose McGill was mauled by a former pal’s bull-terrier type pet in June 2019 before spending six weeks in hospital as doctors tried to repair the extensive muscle and tissue damage to her limb.
The 42-year-old says she is now living in constant pain and has multiple open wounds on her leg after developing chronic ulcers around the bite site - which began forming around 12 months after the attack.
Speaking through tears, Margaret-Rose, who lives in Troon, South Ayrshire, said: “I’ve begged the doctors multiple times to take my leg off because I can’t keep living like this. I am terrified that I’ll end up with sepsis and die.
