For several weeks, a friendly and loving dog with a damaged jaw had been wandering the streets of a small Indian village. Although her appearance was disheveled, she would approach anyone who came near her.
A vigilant citizen noticed that something was off with the dog’s jaw and suspected that she might be suffering from pain. Upon closer inspection, it was found that the mother dog had suffered a broken jaw. This incident shines light on the efforts of animal welfare groups who work tirelessly to care for injured animals like Pinky.
Pinky and her litter of puppies were homeless until a group of kind-hearted individuals rescued them after noticing her injuries. The poor dog was obviously suffering, with bleeding from the mouth and breathing issues. She was taken to an animal shelter called RRSA India, where her condition was quickly assessed as severe and she was rushed to the vet for immediate medical attention.
Although the mother dog was clearly in pain and discomfort, she displayed remarkable kindness and gentleness when the rescue team arrived. She even wagged her tail and gave the crew members kisses as they tried to examine her jaw. The crew knew that time was of the essence if they were going to save the mother dog’s life.
The mommy pooch was carefully placed in a carrier and transported to the RRSA India animal hospital. The vets administered antibiotics to combat the infection and provided pain relief medication to ease her agony. To ensure proper healing, the vets opted to wire her jaw shut. For several weeks, she was under close observation at the animal hospital, where they provided her with the necessary care to promote recovery.
Pinky was in a terrible accident involving a car which left her with multiple fractures in her jaws and teeth, as confirmed by the x-ray results. Unfortunately, her wound became septic, and without proper treatment, she would have passed away in just a few weeks. The veterinarian concluded that the best course of action was to remove a large portion of her infected lower jaw and teeth. Pinky bravely underwent surgery and received excellent care while recovering in a loving foster home.
It was a challenging journey for Pinky to recover from her injuries. She had to rely on a feeding tube for almost a month, but the support and nurturing provided by the shelter staff and her foster family aided in her healing process.
Gradually, Pinky’s jaw healed, and she began to eat and drink normally again. Her affectionate nature won the hearts of her fosters, who decided to give her a forever home.
The day finally arrived when the mother dog was deemed healthy enough to enter foster care. She was adopted by a caring family who had experience in taking care of special-needs dogs. They ensured that she received the medication she required and took her to follow-up vet appointments. The mother dog is now thriving in her new home, with plenty of food, a cozy bed to sleep in, and all the love and attention she deserves. Her story highlights the importance of compassion and love towards animals and serves as a reminder that every animal deserves a second chance.
At RRSA India, Pinky’s story is just one of many rescues that happen every day. Thanks to the community’s support, these rescues are possible. The shelter depends on donations to offer medical care, food, and shelter to needy animals. Without this support, countless creatures like Pinky would be left to suffer and die on the streets.
