Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center completes necropsy on skinned canines found in Lima

LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The necropsy results are in for the skinned canines found dumped on Lakewood Avenue. 

According the Ohio SPCA & Humane Society's Facebook page, the Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center determined that one of the two animals was likely killed by blunt force trauma and had a fractured skull. The second canine's death could not be determined, and it is still uncertain what species of the canid family they both belong to. The skinning is suggested to have occurred after the animals passed.

The canines were initially found dumped in a driveway of a property on the 2400 block of Lakewood Avenue on New Year's Day. 

Anyone with information is asked to call the Ohio SPCA & Humane Society at (419)-991-1775.
