RSPCA South Australia is urging owners of pregnant dogs and dogs that have unweaned puppies to recognise their animals' increased need for nutrition, following a cruelty case that finalised recently in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court. A woman was prosecuted on two charges of ill-treatment of an animal after a female dog named Lola and her five puppies were found in emaciated condition at a northern suburbs property in March this year. On examination by RSPCA SA's veterinary team, two-year-old Lola was found to have a body condition score (BCS) of 2/9 (A healthy BCS is 5/9).
