Milford Animal Rescue Update: Dog Needs Surgery After Starting to Eat Again | Crime [Video]

MILFORD, N.Y. — More than two weeks after an animal rescue in Milford, one of the dogs has taken a turn for the worse.

Oscar, who is receiving care from the Susquehanna SPCA, underwent emergency surgery for a condition commonly known as bloat.

According to the shelter, this condition can occur in dogs that experience malnutrition when they begin to eat again.

Currently, Oscar is in critical condition.

Along with Oscar, another dog was rescued from a home on Route 35, where two emaciated quail were also found.

A dog, a turkey, a chicken and quail were discovered deceased on the property.

Whitney Bachanas, a 40-year-old resident of Milford, has been charged with torturing or injuring animals, failure to provide sustenance and abandonment of animals.
