Location: Chamunda Mandir
Cause/Injury: Injured legs from frequent falls due to blindness
Treatment: Antibiotics, antihistamines, antiinflammatory medicines, anti-parasite medicine, and vitamin B complex
We received a call from a local resident about a blind dog that frequently falls from steps and rooftops. This resulted in a series of injuries to her body and she has stopped eating properly. We have prescribed some medicines for her to ease the pain, calm infections and hopefully improve her appetite. We also provided the caller with some eye drops to administer on a continual basis.
We have been extremely fortunate in this instance as a sanctuary in Mathura agreed to accept both dogs (the paralysed puppy from our previous blog). There, they will be provided with shelter, food and treatment for the remainder of their lives. We’re sure they’ll receive lots of love too.
Animals with ailments and injuries need a place to live where they are protected from the elements, other animals and vehicles. We were lucky this time, but the local sanctuaries do not always have the capacity to take on the animals we treat. It is our mission to create our own Braj Animal Care sanctuary here in Vrindavan where these stray Brajwasis, especially those with permanent disabilities, can live permanently.
