Malicious intent is suspected in the senseless death of a young Yorkshire terrier pup. Dog owners in Los Pacos, Fuengirola, are advised to be on the lookout for suspicious activity in and around the local dog park.
Either anti-freeze or rat poison is the likely substance to have been used to kill Tilly on the night of November 16. The symptoms, according to the vet’s report, coincide with some sort of strong chemical poisoning. No other dogs have suffered such health effects.
Her lifeless body was discovered back home under a kitchen unit surrounded by a pool of her own blood that had come from her eyes, nose, and mouth, but with no external indication of injury.
She had been running around with five other doggie friends at the local doggie park for just half an hour and may have drunk from the water fountain there. Hours later, when at home, was when she was found dead.
Police officers were visibly moved by the sight of the poor dog
National police officers were visibly moved by the sight of the poor dog and have investigated the area, but they are still unsure who was responsible as well as their motive.
One commenter on Facebook noted that she had seen various dead rats and mice in full view on the streets of central Fuengirola.
Anticoagulant chemicals, used in rat poison, are used to destroy vitamin K in the blood and therefore thin blood to such an extent that whatever animal consumes them dies of internal haemorrhaging soon after. Dog owners are encouraged, for the time being, to ensure their pet takes vitamin K supplements.
