SINGAPORE, May 17 — When 61-year-old Khor Lian Huat noticed the dog he raised at his cousin’s home in Pulau Ubin had a maggot-infested wound, he did not take it to the vet but instead used an antiseptic to clean the wound.

He also argued that the circumstances were different from other cases of neglect as his dog was on Pulau Ubin, a “rural area... different from an urban ”. Mr Lim did not mention how the dog injured its paw, or why Khor had left his dog with Mr Ho on Pulau Ubin. By then, the dog’s paw was necrotising and it had several open cavities with maggots. It also had “putrid brown discharge dripping” from the wound.

“Any ordinary observer would know when they see maggots in a wound that they need to bring a pet to the vet,” said Mr Lim.
