Ahhhhhh, the beautiful transformation of an old (blind) dog abandoned on the side of the highway, now receiving love 🥰 for the first time since the rescue, we are getting tail wags and smiles today!

He’s been named Solo since he very much wanted to be left alone initially 🐾 we are grateful that yummy food, sweet talks, and some gentle touch each day have allowed him to start feeling more connected ♥️

2 month old puppy Buttercup hit by a car

The post Buttercup surgery was a success appeared first on Hand to Paw Thailand.

We’re at the emergency room with a two month old puppy (named Buttercup) hit-by-car tonight 🚘 ! Thankfully he survived but he has a major break in the leg which is causing intense pain and swelling. Surgery is estimated at $300 USD (10,000 baht) plus a little more for hospitalization.

We considered all options including putting the leg in a cast and letting it heal on its own, but to try and immobilize a puppy for two months with all its wiggles doesn’t seem ideal. I am grateful that we live in Thailand where surgery is not too expensive and we can help more dogs!

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!!

📣 54 cats and dogs were spayed by our Hand to Paw team today (40 dogs and 14 cats)! 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕

We spent hours yesterday and today setting up traps to catch more feral dogs! So many of the large groups of street dogs are finally done and sterilized in our area which feels great. So we are expanding outwards to try and help even more areas 🐾

♥️ We always need funds to help us with all the extra costs associated with spay days: food to lure wild dogs into the traps, meds against mange and flea infestation, medications for pyometra, and more! We regularly repair hernias, remove embedded dewclaws, save dogs from infections of the uterus, treat for blood parasites, and even remove tumors,

💕 these spay days are usually the one and only time most of these dogs will ever see a doctor so we try and help as much as we can!
