This mother dog was lying helpless on the street. She has her both ears severely infested with thousands of maggots to the extent that her one ear is completely eaten up. She could not even take care of her new born babies (hardly 10 to 12 days old) 💔💔💔

When brought to the shelter she was semiconscious and could barely respond. 😢 With little hope, we have started fluid therapy with vitamin suppplementation, antibiotics and dressing was done.

The shocking fact is, On seeing her condition, the locals had poured almost a litre of petrol on her wounds which added more to her sufferings 😢😢😢

Please DO NOT USE petrol, kerosene oil or phenyl to clean the wounds of dogs or any other animals. These are chemicals that are highly dangerous having harmful effects on the exposed wounds making them worst.

We waited till late eveing with the babies and finally mama dog arrived and we could rescue & bring them all to our shelter.

“Archie” was rescued from a small town named Khorsani, located ~50km outside biratnagar.

“Archie” is an old buddy with severe mange (scabies) leading to sparse amount of hair on his body hence making it difficult for him to maintain his body temperature in this rainy season. As he is prone to health issues caused by even a slight change in weather, he recently suffered from pnemonia with laborious breathing. With antibiotics however, he has recovered from chest infection.

His skin wounds made out of itchy scratches are also healing.
