West appeared in Rockhampton Magistrates Court on Monday where she pleaded guilty to one count of animal cruelty.
The court heard she had received a series of troubling messages from her ex-boyfriend and his new partner before the attack, The Morning Bulletin reported.
Her defence lawyer told the court she was remorseful and was ‘completely humiliated and angry’ at herself following the incident.
The teenager receives a disability support pension and has been diagnosed with several psychological disorders, the court heard.

Magistrate Jeff Clarke reportedly described the incident as ‘quite a despicable act’.
‘Unfortunately I cannot make an order that you not access or maintain social media accounts – I would make that order if that order could be made,’ he said.
West was banned from buying a dog for two years and given a two-year probation order.
She must also take part in counselling and anger management sessions.
