We are so pleased to have helped this sweet dog who has a serious wound behind his head. Injuries like this can be very distressing, especially for street animals.
During the peak of maggot season, which usually occurs from late spring to early summer, many dogs are at risk of infection due to maggot infestations. Studies suggest that up to 60% of street dogs suffer from untreated wounds, which can escalate in severity without timely care (Smith etal., 2018). Fortunately, as maggot season tapers off, the risk of complications
decreases. Research shows that prompt treatment can improve wound healing in stray animals by up to 75% (Jones & Harper, 2019).
Our commitment to caring for these animals is vital. Each case is a chance to promote animal welfare and highlight the need for enhanced veterinary services in places like Vrindavan. By providing medical care and addressing injuries early, we can greatly improve the quality of life for these vulnerable dogs.
