For the first two weeks of this month, I
left the two young puppies in the hands of a friend who bottle fed them
until they could eat themselves. Then I took Anna and Felix in and they
are striving. The suture at Alex' neck had to be redone because
the wound opened partly. The healing process took the whole month.
Zola
and Toya, the two Pinnacle puppies, are now permanently outside and stay
together with Shana and Biaow on the small terrace. Shana receives
fluid every second day. Her condition is stable. Silver's condition
improved since I changed the Ivermectin brand. At the end of the month I
replaced the daily oral administration in favor of a weekly injection.
Diana's treatment is complete, and I took her back to her place. She
and her buddy Bobby are being fed by a resident. My helper in Naklua
made me aware of two dogs who were obviously sick or injured. I took
both of them to Silverlake clinic. One of them died five hours after
surgery; the other one died after five days of liver failure. Gat, the
paralyzed dog, also died in the clinic after three weeks of treatment. Bok Luk developed a huge abscess at her flank which had to be
surgically removed. After getting back from the clinic, she suffered
hair loss. I treated her for bacterial and fungal infection but to no
avail.
Khao, a dog my helper Ba Baet is looking after, has been
spayed. Alex and Lena have been de-sexed as well. Sinin, the cat my
helper Wan Song has taken in together with its eight kittens, has been
spayed as well. Samlee, a stray a friend is looking after, has also been
spayed. Princess, a dog abandoned by someone who homed her for more
than a year, has been spayed too and is being looked after. Lesley,
another stray that is being looked after by another friend has been
spayed as well.
Chuki and Jaha, two of my five dogs with
refractory skin conditions, have been admitted to Silverlake clinic for
an intensive fourteen day treatment.
On the way to Wat Amparahm, where
I'm sheltering dogs, I discovered a tiny dog suffering from TVT. She got
treated together with a male dog I found in the temple. He also suffers
from TVT. Ting and Sido, that's their names underwent surgery and are
still being treated with chemo.
