⚠️GRAPHIC IMAGES⚠️ This is Ma, star of this week's #TransformationTuesday, who was reported to us on 9th Jan by a local in Dikwella who told us that she'd had an accident a couple of weeks previously and had injured one of her hind legs. She had three pups with her who were 3-4 weeks old (too young to be left alone) so we whisked them all back to the hospital with us. She had some pretty gnarly wounds exposing bone and ligaments! Poor girl! Despite being friendly on the street, she got pretty aggressive back at the clinic and unexpectedly bit @janeythevet, getting her pretty good 😳 Ma was really protective of her pups so we had to be super careful around her and she was really nervous for weeks until our superstar animal care assistants won her around and she became a friendly little bean again 😇 After weeks of dressings and care, Ma was returned to her home on the street on 25th Feb (after being neutered and vaccinated/treated for ticks and fleas, of course!). (We'll rehome her pups when they're old enough as they've been away from the real world too long and have never learned how to be street dogs.) We dropped Ma back off and she didn't even give us a look back! 🤣 ~ ~ ~ ~ #WECareTransformationTuesday #dikwella #lankalivin #BecauseWECare #streetdogs #travelsrilanka #adoptdontshop #lankalife #bethechange #volunteer #puppiesinparadise #vet #vetmed #veterinary #vetlife #surfsrilanka #wecare #srilanka #streetvet #srilankanstreetdogs #vetschool #charity #vetnurse #charitysrilanka #animalwelfare #animalrescue #animals #dogs #dogsofinstagram
⚠️GRAPHIC IMAGES⚠️ This is Rosie. Oh she CUTE! We picked this little babe up on the 9th Feb from Tangalle (45 mins up the coast) after someone reported her with a stonker of a tumour on her tail. She's looking good so far after three rounds of chemo - we'll keep you updated! ~ ~ ~ ~ #dog #dogsofinstagram #doglife #doglovers #dogstagram #dogoftheday #dogs #doglover #instadog #dogsofinstaworld #dogs_of_instagram #animalrescue #animalwelfare #vet #vetmed #veterinary #veterinarian #vetlyfe #vetlife #veterinarymedicine #surfsrilanka #wecare #srilanka #streetvet #vetschool #charity #vetnurse #charitysrilanka

Wednesday was a MONUMENTAL day in the history of WECare - we got our very own high power generator delivered and installed!! ⚡⚡⚡ We've never had one of our own - we've always hired one and a) it didn't have enough power to run the whole clinic, b) it was constantly breaking (it even set on fire a few weeks ago...!! 🔥) and c) it needed turning on manually, so if we lost power overnight, that was a problem (won't somebody think of the vaccines!💉). Two of WECare's very own guardian angels Alan and Mandy Dennison saw us post about our shoddy generator back in October and they only went and bloody bought us one!! This one has enough output to power the ENTIRE hospital, and it automatically switches on in a matter of seconds when the power cuts out💡. We cannot even begin to tell you how life-changing this is, especially now we're coming up to power cut season AKA 'it's so hot I might die' season (a/c, baby!!). It means we can perform surgeries undisturbed without having to schedule them in around frustratingly frequent planned all day power cuts (or freak out when the unplanned ones rear their heads while we're operating), dogs in our isolation units can have uninterrupted fans and we'll save loads of money not renting a faulty generator. It also means we can use our washing machine during power cuts, and not run out of bedding! And not run around like headless chickens in the dark when the power cuts at night 🔦 Alan and Mandy - YOU LEGENDS!! 🙏🏼 We cannot thank you enough, we never thought we'd be so excited about...electricity!! 🙏🏼⚡🥳 (Living in a developing country sure makes you appreciate the things you take for granted back in the UK😅). We actually had a power cut today while Janey was dealing with an emergency and the power came back on SO quick, it was unreal!! 👏❤️👌
