I have seen them arrested...tried...convicted...as well as jail time and/or fined. Usually though they will give you a written order to get treatment for the sick animal and then do a follow up to see that the written order was carried out. If it was not then they arrest and the prosecutor will place charges. They also will do a follow up...even if the written order was carried out...to see that the animal is still doing well or if conditions have reverted back...and if they have reverted back...then they will arrest.
