A Springfield Township Bucks County woman has been arrested and charged for failing to provide veterinary care for an 11-year-old horse with cancer.
Officials say Heather Fitzgerald of Coopersburg, was taken into custody and held on $150,000 bail.
The Bucks County SPCA says the Thoroughbred named Brazilliant had a cancerous eye that was not treated and the cancer had spread to the bones in his face, down his spine, and into other parts of the body.
The BCSPCA says the animal was in severe pain and had to be euthanized.
