Given that sometimes, people reading these posts have not lived in Thailand, I thought it…
Feral Dogs – Soi Dogs – Street Dogs
This photo shows the feral dogs in San Kamphaeng that we went and trapped at night and spayed the next day. One dog went to the clinic the following day since she was the last young female needing to be spayed on this road and was trapped after we finished our spay event ♥️
The dogs’ surgery happens on the side (called a flank spay instead of an abdominal spay- the vets shave the flank and remove the uterus and suture everything from the side) to avoid any complications if these dogs chew their sutures post-spay. We cannot put cones on roaming dogs as this would likely cause them to get road accidents. A lot of care needs to be taken to do the spay as safely as possible 💕
The locals are usually kind to the dogs and feed them. So our role is to come in and trap, vaccinate, neuter, and release. Together, we work well to improve the lives of animals and community members 🥰
No more unwanted babies in this neighbourhood!!
