Location: Shri Krishna Sharanam
Cause/Concern: weakness and low temperature
Treatment: administered injection for infection, pain, inflammation and multi-vitamins given
This little pup was affectionately named Simba by the children in his local area. He was always smaller and weaker than the other puppies and he never had anything other than milk or water. Simba always refused chapatti, toast or biscuits. Braj Animal Care gave him deworming treatment and the first dose of the vaccine schedule for puppies.
A few weeks later Simba was playing around the children and snoozing under the sun — nothing seemed off. The next morning, he was in bad shape and some local people took him into their home and kept him warm but he wasn’t drinking any milk. Concerned, they called us to check on him. His temperature was really low and we think he might have been out in the cold all night without shelter. We treated him and left for our next case. Within an hour, were informed to come and check on him again as his condition wasn’t improving. As we were rushing back to administer a drip, we received another call informing us that Simba had taken his last breath. We checked to make sure there were no vital signs then we placed some Tulsi leaves in his mouth and buried him nearby.
