Currently I’m looking
after more than 80 dogs in and around Pattaya. 39 of them are living
in Naklua area which is the oldest part of Pattaya. I have been
staying there in a flat for almost three years and moved recently
into a traditional Thai house not far away from that apartment house.
Boss is now staying with me. From the parking lot of the apartment
house I also took Leila with me, a street cat who I’m looking after
for almost three years.
The dogs in the Naklua are
living on several Sois (alleys), on a scrapyard, in a slum, in a
residential area and some of them on their own at different places. I
regularly provide dry food for the scrapyard dogs, the slum dogs and
a couple of dogs at one of the Sois. This food goes to residents or
security guards at these places who are feeding the dogs with rice
food as well. The other Naklua dogs are getting fed by other
residents or restaurants.
I go to see all of these dogs at least two, three times a week providing those with dry food who are not regularly fed by residents. The Naklua dogs are pretty well fed and except a few they are in fairly good shape since I monitor them regularly. All except two female dogs have been already spayed. The two unspayed ones I couldn’t catch yet despite several attempts but they are the next on my list. Several of the male dogs are neutered as well. However, I discovered recently four more dogs, two males and two females. They are not sterilized as far as I know and two of them are mangy, so I started treating them as well.

There are dogs on several
places in the Naklua area that I’m treating for Demodex mange. This
is an ongoing treatment since Demodex is very difficult to cure.
Actually, I can only try keeping this kind of mange at bay.
At Pattaya Bazaar, where my working place is, I’m looking after seven adult dogs and two puppies. Three females are spayed and one male dog is neutered. I managed to spay the remaining fourth female just recently after several unsuccessful attempts. The two puppies are staying with their mother. This dog was successful treated for TVT and is now spayed as well. I’m currently trying to find new homes for the puppies. Two puppies from that place have already been adopted recently. All dogs are daily fed with dry food in the morning and rice food in the evening. The rice food is distributed by Wan, a dedicated dog lover from Myanmar whom I work together with for more than two years.

At three days a week I go
to see dogs in a Buddhist temple located 20 km outside of Pattaya.
Currently I’m looking after 21 dogs there. They are all rescue dogs
from different places in Pattaya where they have been chased away.
The abbot of the temple was so kind to offer me a part of the temple
which borders directly to the beach. I know some of these dogs for
more than three years, a few of them I raised since they were born.
For more than a year I fed the dogs only with dry food since they
were not fed by the temple.
Two months ago I found a market woman who is now feeding the dogs with rice food daily. All dogs are well fed and in fairly good condition. They are all spayed or neutered. I also provide food and monitor three female dogs in a village near Pattaya. One of these dogs recovered fully from mange and the second one from TVT. All three dogs are now spayed as well.
Finally, there are twelve dogs in South Pattaya which are looked after by security guards. I provide dry food for them and I’m regularly treating two of them for Demodex mange. All female dogs are spayed.

Besides my daily routine I
got two female dogs and six female cats spayed this month. Five of
these cats belong to an old woman who is looking after about 20 cats
in her house. This woman goes out every night to feed cats and dogs
in Naklua area. She has very little money and therefore I support
her. The sixth cat I found near the house I moved in recently. One of
the spayed dogs is a dog from Pattaya Bazaar and the other one I am
treating for Demodex mange. After some sort of recovery she became in
heat. Therefore, urgent action was necessary.
Bieow, one of the dogs Wan
is looking after at another place was hit by a car two weeks ago.
Bieow suffered a fracture to her left hind leg and is now in foster
care. She received another two treatments recently. Her treatment has
to be continued for a couple of weeks. Bieow is pregnant. Right now
we don’t know what to do with her after have giving birth.
Yaya, one of other three Pattaya Bazaar puppies ate some toxic substance and suffered kidney damage. He was admitted for a couple of days receiving intensive treatment and is now staying with me at my house. Yaya is recovering but requires ongoing treatment against blood parasites. Lucy, another puppy from Pattaya Bazaar developed a huge abscess at her right front leg. She needed daily care at a clinic but recovered well. Since Yaya and Lucy require daily care I took them with me together with her remaining sibling Aya.
