A pensioner whose dog was put down after she failed to get a tumour treated has been fined.
Anne Quigley, 70, did not get proper care for her 13 year-old German Shepherd, Sheba.
The sick pet had an open wound on its stomach and was left unable to walk.
The SSPCA eventually rescued Sheba following a complaint.
But, Sheba never recovered and had to be put down by vets.
Quigley today pled guilty to causing the dog unnecessary suffering and failing to provide adequate care.
The OAP, of Govan, was fined £360 at Glasgow Sheriff Court .
A hearing was told Sheba appeared elderly with "clear muscle difficulties".
Prosecutor Kevin Jarvis said: "There was a tumour which was bleeding and had obvious infection.”
The open wound had been there for two months.
The court was told Quigley had tried to put a bandage over it.
The pensioner was later interviewed and claimed she “didn’t think he was as bad as it is.”
Sheriff Joan Kerr also banned her from owning animals for three years.
