Rescue Mission 2

We were rushed to the vet last yesterday after attended our cousin wedding. Both of us non-stop busy with the Brownie. We put her in the box and I sat with her at the behind seat. We knew she was frightened because of new environment. The next thing that we worried - Where is the vet clinic?

Fortunately we had the address and some direction from the Sis Chan ( a kind stray animal rescuer).

We were so lucky that we had a parking in front of the vet clinic even though there was a jam place. However, we reach there quite early and we had to wait because the appointment was 3 p.m..

We brought Brownie to the vet after the clinic open. 1st thing the vet asked us about Brownie history included when is the last meal, when is the last time she peed and pooed, her appetite...It really beat us down, we hardly knew her, all the while she was at my neighbour house mixed with other adult dog. We just know that if we don't take any action, she will follow her other siblings footstep. ( All 3 siblings passed away due to negligent)

Then, the vet asked us, " What you going to do with this puppy after this?" . We really didn't thought about it. Our house really don't have place for another puppy. We have Mitra and a foster dog ( Sweetie). So, how we going to solve this problem. What we could think during that time, locate her inside our Mitra's house( We built a house for Mitra before Chinese New Year). These was what we could think and help in the 1st place.

Her skin condition was unbearable ( for us). The vet told us her skin just like carpet-like easily to be peeled of. The doctor peeled off the skin in front of us. There was also a lot of tick inside her ears, live and dead ones. We were shocked and really couldn't stand it. They spray the Frontline( a medication to kill the tick, flea, mite) on her body and ears. The medicine effect can up to one 1 month.

We hardly know about the puppy's history, doctor couldn't do much on her. So, we have to take her back with antibiotic and understand her more. Because of worrying some unknown infectious disease that she might having, we need to put her in a confine place. Now, we were wondering, Mitra's house no door at all. Our idea for not building a door is to let Mitra free roaming.

Fortunately. Sis Chan lend us a foldable cage for Brownie and a pack for puppy's food. We were so grateful for her help. So, we hope Brownie will be well soon and can help her to find a good home.

We wish that there are more people will be concern about the street animals. Please bring them to spay and neuter. These will help reduce the problems of the puppies and dogs that are being abandoned, abused, accident... Everyone can contribute in these issue.
