16 of those we went to pick up directly because the owners did not have transportation or crates ♥️ 7 dogs had life threatening pyometra (infection to the uterus due to birth control injections) and required additional medications, 3 needed Bravecto for fleas and ticks, one needed a full course of doxycycline to treat blood parasites, and we assessed a dog who was hit by a car to check for broken bones (thankfully no break or else we were ready to transfer to the hospital)!

A massive thank you to Doctor Amy Shroff with Lets Save the Strays International who sponsored the costs of the cat and dog spays today!

🚘 and a huge thank you to Ally Taylor and Brian Sage for helping me with transportation!

We focused our efforts on trapping as many feral dogs as possible at the irrigation center nearby and bringing them in for spay. It was a success!

We also caught two new TVT cancer dogs who will be started on chemotherapy as soon as they have healed from their spay surgery and we have checked their bloodwork ♥️

So many of the dogs had such bad tick infestation (one dog had thousands of lice!!!) and so I have packed extra boxes of meds to treat them when I go check on them in a few days 🥰 (plus deworming).

For many dogs, these events are the only time they will ever see a doctor in their entire lives: so we try and be as thorough as possible- treating for blood parasites, wounds, TVT cancer, worms, or flea/tick infestation and talk to owners about where to access follow up care.

A massive thank you to Lets Save the Strays International for sponsoring the costs of all the surgeries and vaccinations today!
