A Scots woman is begging medics to amputate her leg after a horror dog attack has left her suffering from chronic ulcers at the site of her wounds. Margaret-Rose McGill was mauled by a former pal’s bull-terrier type pet in June 2019 before spending six weeks in hospital as doctors tried to repair the extensive muscle and tissue damage to her limb.
The 42-year-old says she is now living in constant pain and has multiple open wounds on her leg after developing chronic ulcers around the bite site - which began forming around 12 months after the attack.
Speaking through tears, Margaret-Rose, who lives in Troon, South Ayrshire, said: “I’ve begged the doctors multiple times to take my leg off because I can’t keep living like this. I am terrified that I’ll end up with sepsis and die.
“I'm in constant pain and it’s really affected my ability to walk. I’m in the doctors’ surgery up to five times a week to get it dressed but nothing seems to be working.
“They don’t want to go down the route of amputation yet, but if they had amputated my leg two years ago and given me a prosthetic I would be back on my feet.
“The ulcers started appearing about a year after I was bitten and have never stopped. I've had multiple hospital admissions and they are getting worse and worse."
Chronic ulcers affect around 1 in 500 people in the UK and can form after an injury where high pressure in the veins of the legs have damaged the skin. Some can take months to heal while some never do.
Pictures of Margaret-Rose's leg - which are too graphic to publish - show the swollen, red limb covered in open, weeping sores.
She added: "I’ve also got two heart conditions and I have Deep Vein Thrombosis so my body is under a huge amount of pressure.
“I am not a healthy
