Accident victim

NOW

This accident victim was found along the Puchong Highway and was rescued by former beauty queen Thanuja after she had come across our S.O.S. The doggie had hurt her legs and was unable to walk or stand. This was because of injury to the nerves. She is still being treated at the clinic and can stand a walk a little. She will soon be out and we need a fosterer for her. We are also seeking medical sponsorship for her. Please help us help her.

ON THE DAY OF HER RESCUE

Lucky after being doped

The maggot wound

We received a frantic call from an auntie who lives in Jalan Pahang last weekend. Apparently she had come across a dog lying near some undergrowth which could not move much. She was told by people around the area that the dog was hit by a car more than two weeks ago and had been just lying there. However, some people had been feeding the dog which also had a huge maggot wound on its chest. We called our rescuer friend in that area and he spent the whole of Sat trying to carry the snappy dog into his car. He went back the following morning with a vet's assistant and doped the dog before taking it to the vet. The dog has been treated and also castrated. The vet says there is no spinal injury and the dog is not able to move probably because of soft tissue injury which will heal with rest. We have admitted him to the clinic and are happy that the auntie will adopt him. We are glad that the dog will have a home once its discharged from the clinic. We hope there will be others who will also adopt or the least foster the dogs or puppies we help them rescue. Anyway, the Dog has been named Lucky and anyone interested in sponsoring his treatment can call 019-3576477 or 012-3739007.

Another accident victim

One of our Klang volunteers found this dog today and was told that it had met with an accident about a month ago. The vet says a car or motorbike must have run over its front paws which are almost severed. Luckily, the dog had been constantly licking the wound and prevented it from turning into a maggot wound. Its two back legs had also become considerably thin and the vet thinks the dog may not be able to walk again. Apparently, the dog had been lying in the same spot and someone had been feeding it daily. She is now under our care and we have admitted her to a veterinary clinic in Klang.

PLEASE SEND HIM POSITIVE VIBES

Our accident victim is now at the animal hospital in Gasing Indah, Petaling Jaya. The vet has diagnosed him as suffering from diaphragmatic hernia due to the impact of the accident.This means there is a tear in the diaphragm - which is the muscle that separates the abdominal organs from the heart and lungs. Therefore the innards are now entering his chest cavity because of the tear. He also has a fractured femur and thigh bone. According to the vet the diaphragmatic hernia surgery cannot wait. He said the femur fracture isn't serious and the bone can mend by itself whilst the thigh bone needs either a pin or a plate. He says the pin costs RM700 and the plate RM1,500 and we have to decide which one after the hernia surgery is over and done. The poor boy is weak as this is one of the effects of the hernia. He has been scheduled for the hernia operation Sunday July 18. We are desperately hoping that he'll make it. We would be very grateful if anyone living in Petaling Jaya can go and visit him at the clinic. Call 019-3576477 for details.
