Activity Report – September 2016

The Danish woman who asked me to keep Simba for a while did not respond to my messages anymore. Simba will now stay with me and I have to find another home for him. Simba has already been neutered and has been treated for blood parasites.

The re-location of Neung, Song, Sahm and Lucky has been a success. All four of them settled in nicely. A new dog was dumped at the temple; we called her Betty. Betty has been already spayed and seemed to settle in as well.

Dam 19, a dog in Em‘s care, has been hit by a car and broke his spine. The vet couldn’t save his life. It turned out that Fritzi, who has been adopted last month, is suffering from TVT. He has been treated and is recovering.

A flight date for Sammy and Lulu has been fixed for next month. All their export preparations are complete. They have been treated with Doxycycline, are de-sexed, vaccinated and mico-chipped. A blood test including a heart worm snap test has been performed as well.

Jakalen Song, Laura and Jiang, three bitches from the streets, have been spayed. Khaofang, one of Prajuab’s dogs has been treated for TVT. Her treatment is complete. Her four puppies have been vaccinated. Dina, Daen and Duen, another three of Prajuab’s dogs, have been spayed as well. Bok Luk unfortunately died on the beach. The reason is unknown.

Although my house is more than full with fifty dogs, I took Namtarn in. She was run over by a car and found by a young woman who could not keep her any longer. Namtarn couldn’t go back to the streets since her right hind leg had to be amputated. She can walk again and fitted in very well.

Randy, a male dog staying next to Highway 36, and Rocky from Wat Amparahm, are suffering from TVT. Both dogs underwent surgery and are being treated with chemotherapy. Yana lost weight; it turned out that she is suffering from an infection. She is being treated with Cephalexin.

Since Emma was limping for a couple of days, her right front leg has been x-rayed. She is suffering from a crack of the tibia. The crack is supposed to heal itself within two weeks.

Activity Report – August 2016
Ting‘s and Sido‘s TVT treatment is complete. Sido has to be re-examined after a couple of weeks since his recovery prospect is only moderate. The fourteen day treatment of Chuki’s and Jaha’s skin condition did not produce the desired effect. Their affected skin parts were later on treated with young coconut oil.

I took Simba in. He has been found and raised by a long term Danish tourist. This Danish woman asked me to accommodate Simba until he can be exported to Denmark.

Snowy, Torro, Emma, Nousha and Binda have been de-sexed. Zola has been bitten by a non-poisonous small snake and recovered well. Toya recovered from an ear infection. Silver has been cured of mange. The spread of mange on Zhenya has been stopped. After Shana became weaker each day, and finally refused any food, she died while I was with her.

Lucky, a dog nursed back to health by Louise, a Swedish rescuer, could be relocated to Wat Amparahm. Three new dogs have been dumped at the temple. Since they are not street dogs, I took them in and called them Lulu, Sammy and Fritzi. Fritzi has been already adopted a few days after I took him in.

Neung, Song and Sahm, raised for four years on the streets by an English resident, had to be relocated. We tried to find a place at a waste ground for them but they returned three times to the village in which they lived all their life. Since they always returned to the village where they no longer were allowed to stay, I re-located them finally to Wat Amparahm. Such relocation has its risks as several dogs I put there disappeared, but I was encouraged by the successful integration of Lucky there. Also, there was actually no better place for the dogs to stay for being fed and looked after.

Lulu and Sammy will be going to the U.S.A. in October. At the end of the month, I took Bok Luk back to Wat Amparahm.

Activity report – July 2016

For the first two weeks of this month, I left the two young puppies in the hands of a friend who bottle fed them until they could eat themselves. Then I took Anna and Felix in and they are striving. The suture at Alex' neck had to be redone because the wound opened partly. The healing process took the whole month. 

Zola and Toya, the two Pinnacle puppies, are now permanently outside and stay together with Shana and Biaow on the small terrace. Shana receives fluid every second day. Her condition is stable. Silver's condition improved since I changed the Ivermectin brand. At the end of the month I replaced the daily oral administration in favor of a weekly injection. 

Diana's treatment is complete, and I took her back to her place. She and her buddy Bobby are being fed by a resident. My helper in Naklua made me aware of two dogs who were obviously sick or injured. I took both of them to Silverlake clinic. One of them died five hours after surgery; the other one died after five days of liver failure. Gat, the paralyzed dog, also died in the clinic after three weeks of treatment. Bok Luk developed a huge abscess at her flank which had to be surgically removed. After getting back from the clinic, she suffered hair loss. I treated her for bacterial and fungal infection but to no avail.

Khao, a dog my helper Ba Baet is looking after, has been spayed. Alex and Lena have been de-sexed as well. Sinin, the cat my helper Wan Song has taken in together with its eight kittens, has been spayed as well. Samlee, a stray a friend is looking after, has also been spayed. Princess, a dog abandoned by someone who homed her for more than a year, has been spayed too and is being looked after. Lesley, another stray that is being looked after by another friend has been spayed as well.

Chuki and Jaha, two of my five dogs with refractory skin conditions, have been admitted to Silverlake clinic for an intensive fourteen day treatment. 

On the way to Wat Amparahm, where I'm sheltering dogs, I discovered a tiny dog suffering from TVT. She got treated together with a male dog I found in the temple. He also suffers from TVT. Ting and Sido, that's their names underwent surgery and are still being treated with chemo.

Activity report – June 2016

Shana, one of the dogs who is staying at Wat Amparahm for two years now, showed signs of kidney impairment. The test revealed that her creatinine level is way too high; additionally, her red blood cell count and the number of platelets are too low. She is now already the sixth dog with this condition. Rashid, Lizzy, Arnie and Jimbo died of kidney failure. Nema survived and hopefully Shana is going to survive as well. She received fluid for a couple of weeks and Doxycycline against anemia. Her blood conditions improved considerably, but not her kidney condition. Diana’s kidney conditions improved to almost a normal level after one month of fluid treatment.

I treated Kenji, a dog who stays at a 7/11, for severe bite wounds. His conditions improved markedly. Anna, one of the seven motherless puppies at House Mabprachan, has been adopted and fitted in well into her new family. A poor woman from the neighborhood asked me to sterilize two dogs, Khao and Dam, whom she is looking after. Both dogs are back at Hom's place.

A cat from one of my helper's neighbor has also been spayed. A resident asked me to look at a dog who could not stand up. I took Gat to Silverlake Clinic where Dr. Kwanchai is treating her conservatively. Gat‘s condition is slowly improving and she can already stand up for a while.

The three Pinnacle puppies have been removed from the hotel complex. With the help of the assistant manager, I found two of them in a nearby temple. According to the monks there, the third one had been adopted. I took Zola and Toya in and they are striving. Amal and Hakim, two of the six eight months old puppies, have been neutered.

Rocco recovered from a broken front leg and has learned to run on four legs again. I created a compound at the rear side of the premises to keep several dogs apart from the main pack. Most of the dogs in that newly created enclosure had been bullied, but are now safe from being harassed.

Zhenya, one of the now six motherless puppies, is a bit mangy and is being treated. His brother, Alex, developed a dermoid cyst which has been removed surgically. He is on his way to recovery. Long and Sida, two of Prajuab dogs, are in the Silverlake Clinic. Both dogs have to be sterilized. Long has an infected eye as well. Wan, one of my helpers, asked me to take in two 15 days old puppies whose mother died together with two other puppies. Fortunately, a friend agreed to take the two survivors for the next couple of weeks.

Activity Report – May 2016

In order to determine the condition of the new puppies, a blood test was conducted - with the result that all of them suffered from light anemia. They have been treated the whole month and their condition improved markedly.

Diana has been treated for anemia as well, and received fluid every three days to bring the creatinine level down (elevated creatinine level signifies impaired kidney function). Jakalen, one of Prajuab's dogs, suffered from a colon prolapse. Dr. Kwanchai's surgical intervention was successful and Jakelen is back to Prajuab's place. Mom, another of Prajuab's dogs, has been de-sexed and Dang has been treated for TVT (Transmissible Venereal Tumor). Both dogs are back at Prajuab's place. Bok Luk has been diagnosed with cornea inflammation and has been treated for three weeks. She recovered completely.

Kylie fitted in very well. Josie bathed her several times and Kylie's skin condition improved. Kylie also gained weight and can enjoy her life again. Chuki's skin condition deteriorated. Dr. Kwanchai diagnosed MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and asked me to bath Chuki with Amitraz Shampoo since other treatments didn't show any improvement of her condition. I'm treating her sister Jaha the same way.

Leila, the only cat in House Mabprachan, has been accidentally poisoned by my cleaning woman and died despite three weeks of treatment. Four dogs from the neighborhood, Coffee, Khao, Dam and Ying, have been de-sexed. Another four dogs, Milo, Pipa, Coco and Sprite have been spayed as well.

A tourist made me aware of a mother dog with three puppies on a hotel complex. The puppies have been examined, bathed, vaccinated, and monitored during the whole month. Jimbo, who stayed at Wat Amparahm, had been poisoned; he died in a clinic. He is already the fifth dog that was poisoned at the temple. I took Toby from the beach into House Mabprachan to treat skin conditions. Rocco sustained a fracture of his right front leg and has to wear a bandage for three weeks.

Activity report – April 2016

Rambo, the puppy that was cured of parvovirus had been later diagnosed with distemper and did not survive. Bag, another puppy who stayed with Rambo also died from distemper. I provided Khun Prajuab with vaccines for him to inoculate as many puppies as possible. Another of Prajuab's dogs needed reconstructive surgery on a wound that wouldn't heal. Nuan had been admitted for almost three weeks and is back to Prajuab's place. The wound healed very well. Another two of Prajuab's dogs have been spayed.

I took Bobby and Diana for a follow-up vaccination and a blood check up. They are two dogs that I have known for years, that are now staying with a resident. Bobby's results were normal but Diana's test showed an increased creatinine level. Bobby went back to the resident's place and I took Diana in to give her saline solution to bring the creatinine level down. 

Samlee, Khao and Nuan are back to Baan Amphur beach. Their doxycycline treatment showed results. Kylie was taken in for treatment. She suffered from severe skin irritations and has been treated. Her condition improved remarkably. Four puppies from a village that are looked after by a friend have been tested positive for parvovirus and have been treated. One of them died, the remaining three survived and have been adopted. Arnie who had been poisoned and suffered from kidney failure and went blind, suffered a relapse and died despite our greatest efforts to save his life. Chock Di and Mi Chock, two new dogs from Baan Amphur beach have been spayed. 

A Russian woman asked me to look at seven six weeks old puppies whose mother was poisoned. Since I don't take in any puppies that are not cleared from parvovirus and distemper, we put them into quarantine for ten days. They are now staying in House Mabprachan for the time being. Bok Luk, one of the beach dogs developed cornea inflammation. I also took her in to continue her treatment.

Activity report – March 2016

Dan completed her cancer treatment and is back to Prajuab's place. Anton has been picked up and found a new home with a nice family in Germany. Samlee developed a growth at her throat and recovered after treatment. Rudi's liver support treatment has been extended for three weeks since a blood test result did not show a satisfying improvement of his ailment and is now back to his place.

I received a Bravecto donation with which I could treat 18 dogs. After a couple of days only a few ticks could be found. All the other dogs benefited from the treatment as well since ticks in the garden were almost all wiped out. Rhonda is still helping me to remove remaining ticks out of paws and ears.

I took Lina Song in. She has been looked after by a friend and is now about to be adopted by a German couple who visited Pattaya recently. Maria, a mangy dog who is being looked after by another friend, developed a large haematoma on her ribcage. She was operated by Dr. Kwanchai and recovered. I had to take in Silver again because her conditions deteriorated. I also took Nacho, Jira and Chuki from the temple to treat them with Cephalexin and showers twice a week. Silver, Jaha and Rudi received regular showers as well.

Rambo, one of Prajuab's puppies fell sick and was tested positive for Parvo. He has been treated by Dr. Kwanchai and recovered fully after ten days. He is now back to Prajuab's place. When I picked up Rambo I saw Daeng, a TVT dog. I also took her to Dr. Kwanchai's clinic and she has been operated and receives chemo therapy for three weeks.

Samlee, Khao and Nuan, the three beach pups, have been spayed and are back to House Mabprachan to recover. Nuan's liver levels were on the upper limit. She got an isotonic saline solution subcutaneously for five days.

Amporn, my cleaning lady asked me to take one of the dogs she looks after at her working place to a clinic for sterilisation. The dog is back into Amporn's care. Nina, one of my Parvo survivors, has been sterilized as well.

The temple dogs are fed by Ba Baet daily and looked after by me twice a week. They are doing well. Gatee, a mangy dog at Tongklom, is making good progress after weeks of treatment. I took Nick back to Thepprasit Road. His growth on his neck healed completely and his Doxycyclin cure was also complete. All the other dogs at House Mabprachan, except Lina Song, Skinny and Chuki who started later with the treatment, completed the cure as well.
