Dog Care in Chiang Mai Community

😃 ☀️ We’ve had a spectacular day!! We returned to visit “Uncle’s” house in Mae Tang with 40 dogs and vaccinated, dewormed, gave Bravecto (for long term flea and tick prevention) to as many dogs as we could catch!! In some cases we needed to use nets but it was imperative that the dogs get a booster vaccine since Uncle occasionally picks up sick dogs and last time the dog he picked up was positive for Parvo… I am certain it is only thanks to the vaccinations we’d given previously that he didn’t lose more dogs at his place 🐕

We also went back to the new temple under our care with 30 dogs and cut spay stitches, dewormed, and vaccinated as many as possible there too! The thirteen teeny babies are thriving and the two momma dogs are deliriously happy to see us each time 🥰

One of the older puppies was lethargic and refusing to eat so we started treatment at the temple right away and then took her to the clinic for both Parvo testing and bloodwork (thankfully negative for Parvo, now back at my home for observation and care) ♥️

Vaccinating, deworming, and treating all of these dogs for fleas and ticks costs us just about 17,000 baht ($500 USD). Without doing this, the dogs would almost surely be doomed to get blood parasites from ticks, they would be susceptible to dying from Parvo or Distemper, and they would be severely malnourished from the intestinal worms stealing the nutrients from their food.

In one day, we alter those circumstances for the better!

🐾 We couldn’t have done this without you! Thank you to all who donate to make these interventions possible ♥️ none of us are paid to do this: we donate our time, gas, and love to make sure these dogs have a much better life!
