Bhagyemani
On 26 June 2021, we were in the process of burying Kanchi up in the jungle, when Bhagyemani came and sat beside us. When we had finished, Bhagyemani followed the team down the hill back to the car. The local people said that they hadn’t seen him before and clearly the local dogs didn’t know him either! So he came …
Chanchali
Chanchali arrived at our centre on 11 June 2021 – a healthy young female pup found a few meters from the centre. Dewormed and first 5 in 1 vaccination given on 18 June. Shy but also wanting attention! She needs a home. In the meantime, she needs a sponsor.
Ash
Asha was brought to our attention by Ashok and Ash was picked up on 9 June 2021 from Paika, suffering from possibly a broken hind leg. The x-ray however, showed no break and it seems that here is nerve damage and he can’t control his rear left leg. He also was suffering from suspected E-canis (low platelet count) and is …
Thute
Thute had collapsed and was picked up from Karibot on 5 June 2021. Taken to AMC, he had an x-ray and was diagnosed with spondolitus – backbone problem. In addition, he had an infection with a high White Blood Cell count. After treatment with amoxyclav for the infection and given Gabapentin daily, he made a good recovery and was able …
Chune
Chune was picked up in Chunnikhel on 13 June 2021. An old dog, he had turned up near Manu Tamang’s home. He was not known in the community so was probably an abandoned dog who just kept moving until he collapsed. An x-ray showed spinal deterioration, and his blood test showed low platelets and low PCV. He has been put …
Stormy
Stormy was rescued by Ania, taken to a vet for diagnosis – distemper positive! So another challenge for us! It can be a long slow process, but so far she is doing quite well and is eating solid food by herself. Now on antibiotic, saline, Vitamin A. Vitamin B complex. She had had a single vaccination of DHPPL that incudes …
Uma Kale
Saturday afternoon Saturday 15 May 2021. Most of the shelters in Kathmandu close on Saturdays and don’t answer the phone (sometimes they don’t answer on weekdays either!) 5 pm and we get a call – our centre has closed down for the night. But it’s a dog nearby that is acting strangely. So off to the vet clinic (after a …
Shyam
Shyam was picked up from Krishna Mandir on 13 May 2021 with a damaged leg. After checking with Dr Sushil, he was put on amoxyclav for a week. Hopefully he will be returned home when he recovers. Ajay, the young lad that called for help, will take care of him.
Khaire Jyoti
Khaire arrived in the centre on 14 April 2021 suffering from a severe leg break. Dr Sushil at AMC carried out the surgery and inserted a metal plate to hold the leg together. A strong dog, he did not like being in an enclosure for a week! He recovered quickly but with a limp, and returned to his location on …
