Updates on our dogs in treatment below:
Dicky (now sponsored and renamed Milo), brought in by Jenny an SDF volunteer, she found the dog in the
middle of the road in Kamala, absolutely terrified. She brought to
the shelter & skin scrapings were done & he has Sarcoptic mange, &
dermatitis, it still remains to be seen if he has a fungal
Infection, he ate a whole large tin of food & was a real wimp when
having antibiotic & Ivomec injections! He will stay at the SDF
shelter, where we will try to re home him once well again.

Bluebell (now sponsored) on the mend
The dog in the picture above was picked up
late September after SDF
received a
call from a Muslim lady in Cherngtalay. She told us that she had
taken pity
on the dog and and it was now in her garden, but being Muslim she
could not
touch it. She told us that the dog had been hit over the head by its
owner.
It is now recovering at the SDF shelter where it will remain for
obvious
reasons.
Photos of the dog when it came in can be viewed by
clicking here but
should not be viewed by anybody easily upset by graphic images.
However they
illustrate the types of injuries that SDF have to deal with on a
regular
basis.
The dog on the left is from Wat Kuku had to have its ear amputated and is probably going back to Wat Kuku.
The one lying down had a tumour as is now much better. It came from patong and
is
probably going back.
Boo (now sponsored), the dog drinking water, was found nearly dead
from starvation. It's getting better but also has venereal tumour
which is being treated with chemo therapy. Photo on the right shows
him on the mend.
The little poodle was thrown away at a temple in Phuket Town. Quite old and
blind in one eye.
Huffy after his operation and on the mend
This dog has its throat cut. Its trachea was severed but the jugular
missed. The poor dog's brother was not so lucky. Photos of the dog
with its injuries and in surgery can be viewed by
clicking here but
should not be viewed by anybody easily upset by graphic images.
Another sad soul who arrived recently.
Starving and no fur.
All these dogs were helped by Soi Dog recently - help us help

Ture - the cat that went to Sweden
Yenny and Xerses found the cat, Ture, on an island in the very South of
Thailand & brought it to Phuket to see if we could help them get it back to Sweden.
The cat lived at Dr. Trethep's until it had the blood work done & passed the tests. Then
SDF arranged for Ture to fly to Sweden and a new life.
From Yenny:
"Ture loves his new life and is not acting like a 6 year old cat no, rather 6
MONTHS. It feels like he´s been reborn. He is soooo full of life, love
and caring, that sometimes it lookes like he´s gonna burst :-) He adapted very
quickly to us and his new environment. The first two weeks
he was inside the house cause it was quit cold here. after that I took him for
strolls around the area in a leash, wich he accepted without a fuss. His
eyes have been a bit of a struggle. He had cornea damage on both eyes and herpes
infection on top of that.
His right eye healed after about a month and some surgery but the left one is
very persistent and has not healed yet. But the last two weeks we have
seen some progress and now his eye is wide open almost all the time. So perhaps
on our next visit to the eye specialist on Monday we will finally get some good news!!
He was a really fat cat when he first came to us. But now he has lost 0,7 kilo
and gained a lot of muscle strength. So now the ladycats in the
neighborhood has to look out for them self cause he´s really handsome now. (and
he knows it :-)
He´s coat (fur) is shiny and have been growing thicker and longer. So now its
not that cold for him anymore. But some days he needs to have some
clothes when we go out so that he wont catch a cold. (you see that in one of the
pictures) This summer has been very rainy and unusually cold
unfortunately". It will be very exciting to see the look on his face when the
first snow comes in December :-)
He is slowly adapting to our other cats. There has been some fights and Ture is
very quick to use his fists. Probably cause his used to fight for
everything before he came here. Food, love, attention, and a roof over his head.
But hopefully he will soon realise that that belongs to the past, and that
fighting is no longer needed.
