Injured stray dog, what to do ? Who can we call ?

[samtab]

hi, is there a number to call when we find a badly injured street dog ? What people usually do ? Let him die alone in the street ? Thanks.

 

[AndyAndyAndy]

Yep, nobody cares, he will be left to die.

 

Or you can take him. I toke one, he was so sick he couldn't stand up. I toke care of him and kept him. You can too. Or you can leave him to die.

Theres a vets on Third Road situated behind the big hospital in Soi Buakow.

We took a stray in with fleas, mange and cancer, its now my best buddy.

 

[izod10]

Relativity cheap to get a dog fixed up here,vet naklua rd,has details of woman who takes them in and contact number,its on the web, the vet.   Govt vet by Pattaya fire station Third rd ,but I doubt they will operate.

  Dog looks as liver problem  ,try the Naklua rd vet  they are good and cheap,tell them its a soi mutt, I shaved an estimate there by 50%

 

"I have used the Pattaya Veterinary Clinic on the Pattaya-Naklua Road (left side, some way before Pottisan as you go from Pattaya to Naklua, tel: 038 423410) for nearly 20 years without any grounds for complaint at all..      some vets are expensive here

 

Got 6  goddam it,one eyed Jack,spinal injured,damned Labrador,not wanted,cancer

[Madgee]

A stray walked in to my yard begging for food. Undernourished, covered in ticks and had puncture marks all over his body from fighting with other dogs.

Then:

 

18 months later, fully inoculated and with some TLC ... My best buddy:

 

You can't help them all but try to do what you can.  

[LogicThai]

I concur. Soi dogs, Thai dogs in general, are resourceful and independent-minded. They can take care of themselves up to a point, but they need help. In return, they can be the greatest companions.

[scammed]

take it to a pet vet if you want to pay for its recovery

[torturedsole]

Nice posts, chaps.  Warmed the cockles of my heart, really.

[teacherclaire]

If you can, bring the dog to a veterinarian clinic and leave the dog there.

 

Watch from a distance what happens and make a movie. 

 

Any normal vet would help an animal. If not, the vet should get some very good publicity online.

When a hungry stray comes into my yard I explain in no uncertain terms that I will give them ONE meal and then they must be on their way. Somehow that never seems to work out the way I planned.

Funny thing that

I guess the mutts are way smarter than us humans

[Pedrogaz]

Call the Soi Dog Foundation. They are on the internet where you can get the number.

[playyer]

Not sure where you are located. 

If it is in pattaya maybe contact one of these: 

Hope for strays foundation

Soi dog foundation (dont think they are in pattaya, but they may be able to help)

The man that rescues dogs (This is just one guys operation but he helps dogs and is in chonburi)

Usually the dog rescues are quite full, so getting a new pet and healing it would be great karma.

 

[UnkleMoooose]

In the time wasted on writing this post, you could have called a vet. If you really do want to help. Instead of virtue signaling.

Wonderful pics, thank you for posting them.   Have often been in the same boat ( the rescuer in different countries ).

We rescued a Border Collie in England many many years ago that was deemed "unfit" to work, yes it happens in UK too.

A daughter that lived here in Thailand took a dog and cat back to the UK, both animals originated in Ko Pha Ngan then spent time in Bangkok before flying to UK.    The animals were allowed to stay together during the 4 or 6 months quarantine in order to avoid mental stress.  Fortunately the quarantine station was only 50km away.     Unfortunately the cat did not survive long but the dog lived for 12 years, some of his ashes brought back to Thailand.

Another daughter "rescued" ( in a very roundabout way ) a dog from Turkish Cyprus that was due to be shot as he was deemed unsuitable for its purpose, it grew in to a wonderful and very large "water dog".
Our family have always had rescue dogs.

 

Here in Thailand a friend takes care of 3.    Earlier she had 2 dogs one, a female was killed by another "trained" to kill dog, a year later her friend a male Thai Alsatian died of DM.   

 

I noticed from your photo that one of the dogs looks like a male Thai Alsatian.    They are wonderful and caring dogs but often have a genetic fault that leads to DM ( Degenerative myelopathy ).    It can start when the dogs are about 5 - 14 years old.   The one my friend had was 7 years old when the condition first appeared.    Could I please ask you to read up on this as however fit your friend is the condition does take its toll.    My sincere wish is that he and all your friends have a long and happy life.

They are also prone to Hip dysplasia and take local tick disease very badly... .

 

Now she is 3 years old and so far she is doing great. She's getting all he vaccines and actually her preventive vet visits cost me in last 3 years more than I spent for my own doctor in these 3 years. ???? She's definitivy taken good care of.

[CM Dad]

I have three dogs and a cat.  All were sick and injured strays that I took to a vet at my expense and then kept.  They are the best pets I have ever had. 

[Oldie]

There are so many stray dogs that pose a severe danger to children and adults. Why don't you care about people? Stray dogs need to be removed. Or do you hate people? You are just another dog lover not caring about the consequences of your dog love? I got bitten by such a stray dog here in Pattaya already and went through all the Rabies treatments. I wish all the stray dog lovers this experience.

What?!? Ha ha????

 

Where did they say they hate people?

 

I am sure they would help an injured person if they happened upon one..but in this instance it's a dog.

 

I found an orphaned bird the other month and hand reared it and released it. It's nice to help other living creatures. That does not mean I would not help a baby human ????

All mammals are smart not just dogs. It's just that most people think that some animals (pigs, cows, goats) should be killed and be eaten but not others.

You support stray dogs but at the same time you don't support people suffering because of them. There is no other explanation. You care more about stray dogs than about people. There is sadly no "Ha ha". You ever saw a person bitten by them and the consequences? But you don't seem to feel anything for them. You care more about your stray dogs. 

[daveAustin]

^ To be frank - and not to derail the topic further as you appear to have done - reckon the world could do with fewer people and more focus on everything else. Yes, Thailand has a massive problem with strays, esp since the gov gave them added protection, and sorry to hear of your woes all the same (they are a menace), but massive respect for folk taking care of animals. Heart warming.

If I was a dog I’d bite you too. Absolutely hateful.

[Fairynuff]

I found this guy on the pier at Prachuab hungry and in pain with severe mange. I always carry powdered medication in my car so went to get some. Mix with food and a month later the mange is cured. I found him again after 2 months when I visited Prachuab again

Interesting how this sad human seemingly equates helping dogs with ignoring people. How one reaches that conclusion basically defines a twisted mind. Since dogs innately respond in kind to circumstances, it would appear that this sad human got what he was due. Karma, my friend...

Many people get bitten by stray dogs every year and Rabies is a problem here in Thailand and people die from it. Stray dog lovers obviously don't care about such problems. But they should be aware that a tiny wound caused by an infected stray dog could mean their end without immediate treatment. But they should see it as Karma then.

Yes ticks seem very high this year, have buffalo and cows in local fields.     Round and heart worm can be high in rescue dogs.    Sorry for mistaking your Alsatian as male, it was the upright ears, the body shape is female, have seen a number of females locally with dropped ears.  
Your dogs look really happy, thank you.

You support people bitten by stray dogs, but not people bitten by sharks or rattlesnakes. In each of your replies you failed to mention them. There is no other explanation. You only care about dog-bitten people. You care nothing for humans bitten by other animals or that are injured in accidents or natural disasters. I am deeply disturbed by your lack of empathy for mankind.

You are right. I forgot the sharks and rattlesnakes. They always try to bite me when I am driving on my motorbike. And many people feed them too like they do with stray dogs. I begin to understand the stray dog lovers better now...

Think fellow humans do far more bad things are are more dangerous to children than dogs.

 

Even cars and fast food cause more problems.

 

I can imagine you walking past some injured puppy, kitten or other poor animal and feeling happy about it. 

 

You do know that you can help animals and also people? If you care about animals does not meant you don't care about people..and the other way around. 

 

Seems you can't comprehend that.
