Activity report June 2016
Shana, one of the dogs who is staying at Wat Amparahm for two years now, showed signs of kidney impairment. The test revealed that her creatinine level is way too high; additionally, her red blood cell count and the number of platelets are too low. She is now already the sixth dog with this condition. Rashid, Lizzy, Arnie and Jimbo died of kidney failure. Nema survived and hopefully Shana is going to survive as well. She received fluid for a couple of weeks and Doxycycline against anemia. Her blood conditions improved considerably, but not her kidney condition. Diana’s kidney conditions improved to almost a normal level after one month of fluid treatment.

I treated Kenji, a dog who stays at a 7/11, for severe bite wounds. His conditions improved markedly. Anna, one of the seven motherless puppies at House Mabprachan, has been adopted and fitted in well into her new family. A poor woman from the neighborhood asked me to sterilize two dogs, Khao and Dam, whom she is looking after. Both dogs are back at Hom's place.

A cat from one of my helper's neighbor has also been spayed. A resident asked me to look at a dog who could not stand up. I took Gat to Silverlake Clinic where Dr. Kwanchai is treating her conservatively. Gat‘s condition is slowly improving and she can already stand up for a while.

The three Pinnacle puppies have been removed from the hotel complex. With the help of the assistant manager, I found two of them in a nearby temple. According to the monks there, the third one had been adopted. I took Zola and Toya in and they are striving. Amal and Hakim, two of the six eight months old puppies, have been neutered.

Rocco recovered from a broken front leg and has learned to run on four legs again. I created a compound at the rear side of the premises to keep several dogs apart from the main pack. Most of the dogs in that newly created enclosure had been bullied, but are now safe from being harassed.

Zhenya, one of the now six motherless puppies, is a bit mangy and is being treated. His brother, Alex, developed a dermoid cyst which has been removed surgically. He is on his way to recovery. Long and Sida, two of Prajuab dogs, are in the Silverlake Clinic. Both dogs have to be sterilized. Long has an infected eye as well. Wan, one of my helpers, asked me to take in two 15 days old puppies whose mother died together with two other puppies. Fortunately, a friend agreed to take the two survivors for the next couple of weeks.
