Activity Report – July 2021
134 more dogs have
been sterilized and were taken back to their living places. The total
number of sterilized dogs now stands at 7,610.
A test on
Stacy, my first patient of the TVT station, revealed liver impairment.
Therefore, Stacy has to undergo liver treatment for a month before she
can hopefully start chemotherapy. Piak's condition is still stable at a
slightly increased creatinine level. His daily fluid treatment
continues. Patty had to undergo ear surgery. A blood test revealed blood
parasites. Patty undergoes a routine Doxycycline/Ferric treatment.
I
took in Ronnie, who was caged for more than a year. A friend is trying
to find a home for him. I also took in Bella and Princess, two dogs of a
foreigner who has to leave the country. My feeder at the temple made me
aware of two dogs that were not eating properly. Both of their blood
work have been tested. Sahm is anemic, and Song's kidney test revealed
an extremely high creatinine level. Sahm is now on a Doxycycline/Ferric
treatment, and Sahm receives subcutaneous fluid treatment after three
days of IV infusions.
On the way to my shelter,
I picked up a dog in a woeful condition. Apart from being mangy, he
suffered from a very deep, maggot infested wound on his neck. Billy
stayed for five days in a clinic and is now being treated at my shelter.
Again,
we had visits from cobras. The first one had been bitten to death by
the dogs; the second one was only slightly injured. I caught her and
released her into the tapioca fields. Oscar had been spat into his eyes
by the cobra. Since my favorite clinic is closed due to a Covid case
there, I washed Oscar's eyes myself and applied eye drops for three
days. He recovered well.
Two more dog shelters
have been put up in proximity to my shelter. They are being run by Thai
people that have been evicted because of Covid. They couldn't pay their
rent any longer. Now, four shelters with about 250 dogs have been set up
on an area of four acres. My shelter was just surrounded by tapioca
fields when I built it almost three years ago.
