Hello everyone, It’s been rather long since I posted here! I need urgent help with a situation. A sweet and docile dog was abandoned in my lane 3 weeks ago. Around 2 weeks ago he began appearing sickly. The vet on examination gave a preliminary diagnosis of Canine Distemper which was confirmed following tests after admitting him to a quarantine facility. His treatment had begun but because he was at a very advanced stage already he couldn’t make it, passed away within 2 days of admission. Canine Distemper is a highly communicable disease among dogs with a very high rate of mortality. This is a massive cause of concern for me. I have at least 35-40 dogs in the immediate vicinity who have come into direct or indirect contact with the fur baby who passed away. I am petrified, as their well-being and safety is very important to me. The only way I can ensure that they have some level of protection is to get them vaccinated 11-in-1 + Anti Rabies. Anybody who knows me knows that I am very particular about maintaining the annual vaccinations records along with the records of other basic and advanced on-site medical needs + vet visits and clinical treatment records, to the minutest details! This time around, there has been a delay on my part in getting my 70 approximate furries vaccinated as per usual: 1. Because the 11-in-1 & ARV vaccines have an efficacy of 3-5 years. But because india is a country with a high incidence of Rabies which is not just detrimental to animal lives but even human lives, it is recommended by the WHO and other medical bodies, including vets that we get our pets and community dogs vaccinated with boosters annually. So, on a certain level I didn’t feel a sense of urgency. 2. I haven’t been able to do this since 2.5 - 03 years. Those who know know how hard losing Dino has impacted me on an emotional, mental and physical level. Pet loss grief is as complex as the loss of a beloved human being. And every grief journey is unique in itself. I am taking my time and trying to be kind to myself and I hope you all will have empathy towards my situation. 3. Plus, it becomes too difficult for me to cope with the massive monthly recurring expenses with minimal support - monthly feeding activity (for which I dig deep into my personal pocket) only take help with rice that I need 600kgs of at present, the sustenance and care of 06 permanent shelter dogs whose total fees is ₹36,000. And I have at times not been able to pay the whole amount each month since April 2024, there’s a cumulative total of ₹50,000 towards that at present towards which also needs to be paid. And currently, 04 dogs are undergoing on-site treatment, 02 cats are in line for surgery. But with the case of the CD dog who passed, an alarming situation has come to the fore. The lives of the other community dogs in the vicinity is at risk. And I am reaching out to you all for your compassion support so I can carry out the 11-in-1 + ARV vaccination drive on priority. The amount I’m raising is ₹40,000. Please be kind and show your love to these children of God, it can help save lives. As of today, I’ve covered 15 dogs and I have many more to go. I’ll be grateful for the support received during this time of crisis. Contributions can be sent via GPAY and PhonePe @ +91 9511853721. I will share a video compilation of the activity once it’s fully done. Love ♥️ Light ✨ Gratitude 🐾
