GERMAN SHEPHERD HAD TO BE PUT DOWN 'DUE TO MISTREATMENT BY HIS OWNER'
His owner Asrar Uddin, of Queens Road in Edgerton, appeared at the Huddersfield charged with causing unnecessarily suffering to a protected animal.Between January 3 and February 3 he is accused of failing to provide proper and necessary veterinary care and attention to the dog’s facial swelling, chronic ear infection and associated weight loss.
Uddin, 37, pleaded not guilty to the offence.
He claims that his pet’s infection was not apparent and that stomach cancer may have been the cause of his weight loss.
But Mr Davidson told magistrates that there was no evidence of cancer in the dog’s post-mortem examination.
