Ama was an elderly female dog, having difficulty giving birth to her pups, when Kate was called to help her in December 2018. We rushed her to the Animal Medical Centre for an emergency caesarian section and removal of her uterus. She ended up with two live and four dead pups
Three weeks later, we found 10 tiny pups of a few days old near the centre. Ama suckled these pups, pushing her own two pups away, until they were weened.
Due to age and condition, it was thought it best to keep her in the shelter. She was sponsored by Tara and Kashi in Kathmandu. She died on 6 March 2023.
