Activity Report – August 2020
Two hundred more dogs have been sterilized and were taken back to their living places. The total number of sterilized dogs now stands at 5,800.
Kobie, the lost dog I picked up last month, has been reunited with his owner. The owner was searching for Kobie and found out that he is staying in my shelter. Leo, the dog with the broken hip, responded well to his treatment. He is getting along very well with the dogs he stays with.
I took in Mona, a bitch that had been sterilized but is suffering from a bad bite wound. Mona does not need to stay in a clinic but has to be treated daily. Mona, as well, fitted in quite nicely in one of the rear shelter areas. Amara is still on long term treatment. A PCR test revealed a leptospirosis infection. Her creatinine level went up critically but is now under control. Amara receives fluid daily.
I lost a dog, Asa, at Wat Amparahm. Asa was living there peacefully and without any incident for several years. She just didn't show up when I routinely visited the dogs. I vaccinated all shelter dogs and the dogs at Wat Amparahm. I am especially concerned about leptospirosis infections. Over the years I had several now, both inside the shelter and at Wat Amparahm. I regularly monitor several dogs on the streets. Two males among them have now been sterilized.
In these blog posts, I chronicle my journey of becoming involved in caring for street dogs that struggle to survive on the streets, parking lots, and wastelands. It is also a record of my efforts and setbacks in attempting to enhance their lives. I rely on my memory to recall events that took place between 2008 and 2011. Beginning in January 2012, I began compiling a monthly summary of my work. As of 2023, I publish daily reports in English as well.
