UPDATED: Tina Marie Kah, 39, of Inglis, FL, was charged with animal cruelty ($2,000 bond). According to the Citrus County Sheriff's Office (CCSO), a deputy went to an Inglis residence due to a dispute regarding an eviction, where he observed a mature, black male dog - named Max - in the back yard, limping due to an immobile left front leg, and drinking from a contaminated pool of cloudy standing water. The report stated that the front of Max's leg, near the joint, had a large laceration with visable red flesh, fluid discharge and moderate swelling. Max, who had been living with Ms. Kah for ten years, according to the report, also had large patchy areas to his tail and hind quarters that were irritated and devoid of hair, likely due to excessive scratching, the report stated. A Citrus County Animal Control Officer told the deputy that he believed the dog showed signs of glaucoma (an eye disease), dermatitis (skin irritation) from a possible flea allergy, and a leg injury that was possibly infected and potentially life threatening. A witness at the residence told the deputy, that when he first saw the dog, about nine months previously, Max's leg injury appeared to be a scar, not an open wound, that had gradually gotten worse, and he'd thought about putting him down (killing him) because it was cheaper than having him euthanized (killed in a painless manner) by a veterinarian. Max was taken to Citrus County Animal Services for immediate medical treatment.
