It’s a Miracle! Abandoned Pregnant Dog in Critical Condition Still Able to Give Birth to 7 Puppies
On November 11th, a distressing report came in about a pregnant dog in critical condition. The situation was heart-wrenching – the dog had been abandoned in a box with a broken neck, just days away from giving birth. There were signs of violence on her frail body, and her puppies were at risk.
The rescuer who responded to the call, Kola Kariola, described the moment he first saw her as heartbreaking. The dog collapsed in his hands, her belly bleeding profusely. He rushed her to the vet where she received a blood transfusion and was stabilized, but her condition was still dire.
Kola consulted with his vet who recommended moving the dog to a larger hospital for further treatment. Her neck needed surgery to save her life, but they decided to wait until after she gave birth to her puppies. The next 48 hours were tense as the brave dog fought for her life and gave birth to 7 puppies, although 2 of them were stillborn. She was unable to feed her puppies, so Kola and his team had to step in and provide nourishment for them.
Despite the odds, the puppies survived, and it was truly a miracle. The mother dog, who was named Belinha, finally underwent her much-needed neck surgery, which was successful. She was then moved to a special room for post-operative care and observation for 72 hours. It was crucial for her to recover fully before being reunited with her puppies.
Kola expressed his gratitude towards Protetora Carol, who played a crucial role in saving Belinha’s life. It was her quick action and dedication to rescuing animals that brought Belinha to safety and enabled her to receive the medical care she desperately needed.
Belinha’s story is a testament to the resilience and strength of animals, as well as the power of compassionate individuals who go above and beyond to help those in need. It’s a reminder of the importance of reporting cases of animal cruelty and neglect, and taking action to help animals in distress. Belinha and her puppies are now on the road to recovery, thanks to the unwavering efforts of Kola, his vet team, and Protetora Carol. Their story is one of hope, compassion, and the incredible bond between humans and animals.
Before his rescuers showed up to free him, a homeless dog who had been stuck in a well for three days had given up hope.
Stray dogs in Thailand are “invisible” for most people. Nobody usually notices when one of them goes missing, but luckily for Simba, a stray dog who lives on the streets of Phuket, Thailand, a good Samaritan who uses to feed the homeless dogs of the area noticed he had been missing for three days.
He immediately went out to look for him, walking the streets of his town far and wide, with no results. Just when he was about to give up, he heard a cry coming from the bottom of a well. Simba was there, standing in the water, hopeless and terrified.
The good Samaritan called the local Soi Dog shelter, and two Animal Rescue Officers rushed to the scene, and managed to save Simba, raising him out of the well with the help of a rope.
“When Simba arrived at the Soi Dog Hospital, we noticed he had no nails left” Dr. Hope, the vet who treated Simba, told Just Something “He’d ripped them all off in his desperate attempts to climb out of his cold, dark prison. The vets immediately treated him with pain relievers and antibiotics, trying to cure the infection that ripping off his nails had caused, and gave him the first meal in three days”.
As you can see from the photos below, Simba made an incredible recovery in just a few weeks, and found in the Soi Dog Foundation a safe place to heal.
Simba is now a healthy and energetic 5-year-old dog, and is up for adoption here, ready to give endless love and kisses to his new forever family.
