Activity Report - May 2023
The merger of the black puppies with the older puppies
and some of the larger dogs in the big Sala area was quite successful.
Although the young puppies still need to establish their places in the
hierarchy, that will be done in the coming weeks.
I had to
make a few more relocations. Zola and Toya couldn't quite find their
way in the newly created area and are now living in the double-gate
section, which they share with several other dogs. Both dogs are fine
with the relocation. The newly created area is now occupied only by Nuri
and Mona.
Dina, Cookie, and Maggie Song, the three dogs that I
recently discovered who were not spayed, have now been sterilized. I
also had six dogs from the temple beach and two others from Wat Yang Yai
sterilized. Talib and Jomo, the two older shelter puppies, have been
sterilized as well.
Talib suffered an ugly chest
wound while trying to pass through a metal sheet. The wound is healing
well, but Talib needs to visit the clinic every three days to change the
bandage. Kylie's coat condition is improving. She has decided to stay
in the treatment room, and that seems to be doing her good. However,
Roshi's coat condition is still unsatisfactory, despite her receiving
special food.
Billy has developed swelling in the throat area. He
is being treated. A blood test showed slight anemia. Kyra is also
slightly anemic. Both dogs are undergoing a six-week Doxycycline/Ferric
treatment.
