Abhay’s Story . . .

Location: Shri Krishna Sharanam

Cause/Injury: Bite marks on the chest and back, heavy bleeding

Treatment: Cleaned and dressed the wounds, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and antihistamines administered

A caller rescued this monkey, Abhay, after he was gravely attacked by a pack of dogs. He was found unconscious and seriously injured by residents of the colony, who took him into their home. We arrived, assessed him and administered vital treatment. Before we could do a follow-up, Abhay passed away. The carers took him to a location near the Yamuna River where he was buried. This story touched us because monkeys are generally considered a nuisance in Vrindavan, but in this case, we saw compassion prevail.
