Animal Care on Wheels

Dogs, much like humans, require a lot of water and electrolytes to ensure their bodies are working properly. Water is so important, in fact, that essentially all bodily functions require it to remain healthy and operative. There are several reasons that stray dogs become dehydrated, including heatstroke as they do not have a roof on their head, persistent vomiting or diarrhea due to seasonal changes, insufficient fluid intake due to rapid habitat loss, and absence of clean drinking water, illness, or fever. Severe dehydration is a common emergency observed in most of the cases by our Ambulance Vans in this season.

Recently we have come across one such case of a beautiful dog named ‘Tobi’ who was suffering from severe dehydration near Ranip, Ahmedabad. The local caretakers addressed that Tobi has lost all energy and call our helpline for treatment. Our team of ‘Animal Care on Wheels’ rushed to the locality. After examination, they found the dog is suffering from severe dehydration and unable to eat past 3 days. Our doctor and assistants started intravenous fluid therapy immediately with other medication to stabilize the condition. Right now, Tobi is under strict follow-up and care. We are hoping within a week Tobi will be fit to play in her territory again.  

We thank you all for helping us provide timely treatment and rehabilitation to Tobi and many other lives. We are proud to have you in our family, and together we have a long way to go. Thank you once again for having our back. 

Any sign of discomfort or illness is shown by our loved ones make us worried. This is a common behavior in humans but do people really care about stray animals? If our local strays are in pain or diseased, do that move us a bit, for many of us might be the answer is ‘No’, but there are few kind souls who take care of the stray animals like their family. Rameshbhai (name changed), who is a local owner of Princy, a beautiful dog who was born and raised in the same area where Rameshbhai resides, was fed, and pampered by him.

 A few days back, Rameshbhai noticed that Princy was not showing any interest in food, and her energy level has gone down. Just after a day, he even noticed that Princy is vomiting and having Diarrhea. Worried, Rameshbhai, immediate call our helpline number seeking assistance. Our team rushed to the locality, and after examining Princy, they found that she has been affected by the deadly Parvovirus. Every year this notorious virus claims a lot of stray lives. Our ‘Animal Care on Wheels’ team immediately started the treatment. Our cute little Princy needed a long-term treatment to recover, so our team made it a point to visit Princy every day for her treatment till the time she completely cures. During her treatment, Rameshbhai used to comfort her with his loving presence. Finally, after 8 days of treatment, Princy started jumping and hopping like before, and Rameshbhai was overwhelmed with happiness. Jivdaya Charitable Trust salutes the animal heroes like Rameshbhai, who take care of stray animals like their own against all odds.

Dear Friend, saving little Princy was a big achievement for us, but we could not have done that without your support. We save all these innocent lives through your generous contribution. With the help of your donation, Jivdaya Charitable Trust saves over 4000 animals and birds every month. Thank you once again for having faith in us.
