Dear supporter,
In 2012 the GVI team in Huay Pakoot organized for vaccinations and sterilizations for approximately 60 dogs in the village between June-August 2012. Two females were pregnant during that time and none of the puppies from either litter survived past February 2013 due to suffering from distemper and other illness and injury. However, the distemper did not spread to the adult dog population as they were all vaccinated in 2012.
In general, the dogs of Huay Pakoot are doing well. The breeding season is in play and we expect that due to amount of sterilizations performed in July-August 2012 that there will be minimal breeding and puppies born this year.
There are still a number of dogs in the village suffering from worms and mange. Staff are planning to use remaining charitable donations to stock up on medical supplies to treat the dogs for these inflictions.
Many thanks from the team to you and all our donors for the assistance that has been provided so far. We believe that this help is keeping the dog populations down, keeping them healthier and giving them a better life.
Best Wishes
Sophie Birkett
