Few days back we received this 8+ years old stray dog ‘Mercy’ with the help of Ms. Seema.

Before this dog was admitted to Nishabd shelter, the dog seemed in severe weakness and was unable to eat anything. Here in Nishabd our team did her blood test in which it was found that her hemoglobin is- 8.2 (below the normal range), Platelet count- 131 (below the normal range) and other PCV, RBC and MCV counts all below the normal range. The tests confirmed that dog is suffering from tick fever as well as there is infection in her liver. Therefore we have put her on drip to fuel the energy in her body as well as the medicine which is prescribed by the doctor are also being given. The treatment will be given to this dog ‘Mercy’ for few weeks till she gains the recovery.

It is estimated by the doctor that the dog ‘Mercy’s’ recovery may take couple of weeks therefore the dog will stay in Nishabd shelter so that we can provide her the special care and treatment. This is our kind request to all to please pray for the dog ‘Mercy’ for her speedy recovery.

Meet ‘Tricky’ male stray dog who lives near Mr. Yogesh’s home in Rakesh Marg, Ghaziabad. The dog is energetic and human friendly in the location. Therefore, most of the residents provide him food and play with him. Mr. Yogesh who is an Animal lover and activist also takes care of this dog ‘Tricky’. But from few days this dog seems to be uncomfortable while eating and playing with his friends. When Mr. Yogesh observed the dog closely he found redness on dog’s testis region. He provided the dog first aid but it was not effective, so he admitted the dog into Nishabd shelter.

When Nishbad team received this dog, we did his examination where it was found that it is infection on his testis that causes redness and irritation to the dog. This dog is licking his infection region continuously due to being uncomfortable. The dog’s testis are infected because he might be sitting in wet places. If the dog with infected testis is left on the road without treatment it may lead to emergency situation for the dog because there was possibility of swelling that could create lot of problems. However we have cleaned the infected region and oral antibiotics are being given to the dog.

Dog ‘Tricky’ will stay in Nishabd for his treatment for a couple of weeks, therefore lets pray for his recovery.
