Sponsor Tuts

A BLACK BEAUTY

Way back in January 2016, Tuts was a tiny little puppy, suffering from severe skin disease, who was discovered and named by our volunteer, Kitty.

Back then we didn’t have the clinic we do now, so she underwent treatment at OG WECarer Malaka’s house, gradually getting fluffier and fluffier as her hair grew back.

We had a few setbacks with calcium deficiency issues, but Tuts was ready for rehoming in a matter of months. (We couldn’t put her back on the streets as she’d been with us since a pup, so would have no idea how to survive.) However, we’ve never been able to find our girl Tuts a home.

The mathematically gifted among you will have clocked that Tuts has been with us almost three years. While we adore all our dogs and give them the love and care they need and deserve, we’re not a shelter.

WECare should be a temporary holiday home before our dogs find forever homes, but Tuts’ shy nature means she never really warms to people who come looking for dogs, as she takes a while to trust new humans. When she does though, she’s as affectionate as they come.

It costs us a loooooooot of money housing healthy dogs, so if you want to become one of Tuts’ sponsors to help us out with her living costs, then holler.

$This one’s a bit of a ⚠️GRAPHIC⚠️ one but it’s Friday so we thought you lot could handle it? Pete came in on Sunday after Jo, Jono and Magda spotted his crusty little self scuttling around with an injured right leg. On closer inspection, there were bones exposed and toes missing! Ouch! 😮 He’s also got a really bad case of mange and severe dermatitis on both front paws. (We think he was so itchy that he ended up chewing his own paws up!) Luckily, X-rays showed no fractures 🙏🏼 Our lovely new vet Rachel removed the bone that was hanging off and we popped a wet-to-dry dressing on overnight (maybe give the fifth slide a miss if you don't want to see that...). The next day it was time to change the dressing, and as you can see, nurse Pia made nervy Pete as comfortable as possible by giving him a few smooches – some of our patients are very nervous as they’re not used to much interaction with humans but our staff see this as a challenge, and they often become our friends. Pete’s already becoming less scared 🥰 However, we always respect boundaries – some street dogs really do just want to be street dogs, and have no desire whatsoever to hang out with humans 🙅🏼‍♂️ We’ve started Pete on medicated baths and supplements for his skin, as he’s really itchy - we’ll keep you updated! To donate to his care, head to wecareworldwide.org.uk/donate or sling some dosh our way via the 'donate' button on our Insta bio (Thank you 😭🙏) ~ ~ ~ ~ #vetstuff #vetting #vetsofinstagram #streetdogs #lankalife #puppiesinparadise #vet #vetmed #veterinary #vetsofIG #srilanka #streetvet #srilankanstreetdogs #vetschool #charity #animalcharity #dogcharity #animalngo #dogngo #srilankatoday #vetnurse #srilankancharity #veterinary #vetmedicine #veterinarymedicine$

$It's #TransformationTuesday and these slides do NOT do this long case justice! Chaminda & ACA Issy went to fetch Clara on 24th June after someone called to say a dog had been hit by a vehicle 3 days prior. She had a really badly contaminated degloving wound on her left leg, exposing bones and ligaments! 😲 We did our usual WECare welcome of vaccines and flea/tick/wormer, as well as sorting her out with pain relief, anti-inflammatories and antibiotics. A wet-to-dry bandage was applied (perfect for getting out all the muck) before getting Clara comfy in her kennel 😴 The next day, the bandage was removed under sedation (it’s really painful to take off) and while sedated, we X-rayed Clara and could see her leg was fractured, with a small fragment of bone floating about. The wound was clipped and cleaned, and we tried tacking down the skin edge to aid healing, before applying a honey dressing. (Manuka honey is lifesaver for us thanks to its antibacterial, healing magic!✨) Clara’s bandage was changed 5 days later and the wound looked good! We popped another one back on but her foot began swelling and didn’t respond to massage, so we changed it again 3 days later, earlier than scheduled. The skin at the back of her leg was sore and irritated, so we cleaned and popped some nappy rash cream on, before applying a fresh bandage, involving the foot this time to avoid swollen tootsies! 🙏🏼 We took Clara to surgery on 8th July to reduce the deficit of the wound, as well as sneaking in a neuter. Another dressing was applied, and we prayed for minimal wound breakdown🙏🏼 After a couple more dressing changes, sutures were removed on 24th July and then it was a looooooooong road to recovery with lots of (anticipated) wound breakdown, due to the size of the wound & its location. Clara had another wound closure surgery on 31st August, followed by more breakdown & dressing changes until FINALLY this month, the wound had healed and all she has left is a coupla teeny scabs 👏🏼 so now she’s in the garden with the resident dogs until we can find her a good home. This girl is full of beans and as you can see from the video of her running around, she’s back to her former glory😍$
