Stone was severely emaciated and had pressure sores all over her rear end. Her paws were red and sore, with long claws and she also had scabs on her ears. She was very subdued and just stayed in a sitting position the whole time I was in the flat.
The vet said her condition was the result of starvation rather than underlying disease. I believe that Stone was fed an inadequate diet which led to her becoming emaciated.
Pressure sores are common in underweight dogs, especially if they are not provided with padded bedding. Her condition would have been obvious to a lay person and her suffering could have been avoided by feeding an appropriate diet and seeking veterinary advice.
