Activity Report - July 2022

302 more dogs have been sterilized and were taken back to their living places. The total number of sterilized dogs now stands at 9,892.

I took Elsa to the clinic since she was very quiet for a couple of days. A blood test revealed moderately severe anemia and an infection. Elsa stayed in the clinic and received fluid intravenously for two days. Within the following two weeks, she received three additional EPO injections. It seemed Elsa was on the way to recovering, but I found her unexpectedly one morning lying dead in her area. She was nine years old.

I had to take Chip to the clinic since he had difficulties passing water. An X-ray examination revealed that a stone is partially blocking the urethra. Dr. Oi widened the urethra and prescribed urinary food for two weeks, which can dissolve the stone. Chip was receiving fluid as well. He is on the way to recovery.

Toya, who I placed into the TVT station to recover from her skin problems, did not stand up anymore. An X-ray scan revealed a slightly compressed sacral disk. Only one session of aqua therapy did the trick and Toya could walk again.

Since Pinky and Khiaow developed a hostility against each other, I relocated Pinky to the Pat area. In order for her not to be alone there, Tanya, Taya and Tiny went with her. Khiaow could therefore be back at the house area.

Nuri and Snowey were allowed to stay in my apartment for almost the entire month. Since new guests arrived at the resort where I lived on my own because of Covid, I had to take Nuri back to the shelter; and, Snowey now lives at Josie's temple shelter after his treatments were complete. Nuri now stays at the house area and fits in there quite well.

All dogs, except Roshi and Navo, have miraculously recovered from their long-lasting skin problems, since I changed the food brand. However, Roshi's and Navo's skin diseases are obviously not caused by a wrong food intake. For both of them, I am going to start a treatment trial using a combination of cephalexin, itraconazole and cyclosporin.
