Two weeks after the Spay Day, people brought back their animals for the stitches to be taken out and medical check up. Each animal was individually checked. Swaziland Animal Welfare Society (SAWS) answered each participant’s medical and animal care questions.

SAWS also distributed additional food supplies so as to continue the quality feeding to ensure full recovery. The dogs are looking noticeable more healthy.

People expressed their pleasure in how their dogs were recovering. It was interesting to see that the dogs still had on their tags from the Spay Day and that many people were actively petting their dogs.

Vusumnotfo has been receiving a lot of positive feedback on the activity, along with the question "when are you going to repeat this activity?".  This question comes from Mshingishingini community members and further afield.  We would very much like to annually carry out one community spay day.  Your support towards this goal is much appreciated.
