This is Queen and she is a distemper survivor. Queen, her two siblings and their mother were rescued from Kajang about five months ago. Queen's mother was a puppy herself and the vet told us that she could not be older than six to seven months when she had her puppies. Out of the three puppies, two, including Queen, had tested positive for distemper. The other puppy did not make it and died in her fosterer's home after fighting the infection for over a month. Queen was also in a bad condition but pulled through. She now suffers from yeast infection and we think this could be due to the cocktail of drugs she had been fed during her illness. She is currently on the road to recovery.
This is Ricola and we believe she was dumped because of her disability. Ricola, is about three months old and suffers from rickets which has made her front and back limbs bowed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickets She was found dumped behind a mechanic workshop in Jalan Melawis, Klang. We think she was dumped because she was very clean when found by one of the mechanics who brought her to us. She walks very slowly due to the condition of her limbs.
All three are currently being cared for by us and we welcome fosterers for Ricola who is very healthy in spite of her bowed limbs.
This mum and her three pups were rescued recently from Meru, Klang. A distraught schoolgirl who had been feeding the mum and pups called for help as she said her family was not too keen on what she was doing. According to her, they were not dogs lovers and frowned upon her feeding the poor strays. The girl told us there were four pups but when one of our volunteers rushed over - she only found three pups with the mum. She brought the three pups and mum over and we have packed the little ones off to a paying fosterer as we did not have the space for them at our place. The mum was sent to the vet's to be neutered. Two days latter, the schoolgirl called again to say that a man had brought and left the missing pup at the spot where the mother and her pups used to loiter. We believe he must have taken the pup home and then decided that he did not want it anymore! Our volunteer rushed over to Meru to get the pup and brought it to the vet's where it spent the night before our fosterer picked it up the following morning. The next morning just as our fosterer was about to leave the clinic with the pup, a lady bringing her dog to the vet's spotted the little fellow and asked if she could adopt him. After a short interview, she filled up our adoption forms and took him home! We will visit the pup in his new home to ensure that all is well. Meanwhile, the siblings have been put-up for adoption.
