Common signs of animal neglect and abuse include: 
- Unpleasant smell or sight of feces and urine 
- Dirty living conditions, lack of grooming  
- Lack of medical care, untreated medical conditions 
- Sudden changes in appetite or weight loss 
- Injuries consistent with abuse, such as burns or bite marks
– Behavioral issues due to fear or anxiety
It is important to recognize that these signs could be indicative of other issues like illness or disease. Therefore it is important to consider the duration and magnitude of the symptom. If any concerns arise about an animal's well-being it is best to contact a local authority familiar with animal welfare laws who can investigate further.
