Activity Report – March 2021

One hundred forty-one more dogs have been sterilized and were taken back to their living places. The total number of sterilized dogs now stands at 6,935.

The two pups that I took in two months ago, and that have been treated for blood issues, completed their treatment and are doing fine now. The third pup that I took in last month could not adapt; she went back to her rescuer and lives in her house. She is there getting cared for very well.

Taco, one of my temple dogs, developed TVT. He has already received three Vincristine injections and is on his way to recovery. Piak, another temple dog, lost weight. A blood test revealed renal impairment. A PCR test to determine whether Piak is suffering from a Leptospirosis infection came back negative. I took Piak into my shelter to treat him with saline solution on a daily basis. Since Piak's creatinine level is way too high, his prospect of recovery is unfortunately poor.

My plan to build a TVT station was hampered by several obstacles. A power supply on the land that was chosen to build the station on could not be obtained. I, therefore, decided to build the station inside my shelter. However, two cost estimates I obtained to build the station were unrealistic. Two other handymen I approached were too busy to accept the job.

After the completion of a month-long Doxy/Ferric treatment, I got nine shelter pups sterilized. Additionally, I managed to sterilize another five dogs that I picked up from the streets.
