Story of Manao: Just around 6 months old, forced to fend for herself as a stray puppy and this little darling girl is already suffering so much.

A kind Samaritan notified us by sending photos of this little poor girl which she spotted near her home. The little one was laying down and seemed very exhausted and weak, very skinny on top and when she finally managed to stand up she had massive problems walking and was heavily limping on the hint legs.

Our volunteers rushed to the place and took the little girl to the island vets for first examinations. We call her Manao (Lemon) Snap rest revealed e-canis and the cbc showed that she is badly anaemic with a very low platelet count. Thank goodness, her liver and kidney counts showed nothing abnormal. But x-rays done afterwards were quite shocking. Even our surgeon in Chonburi is shocked: the little 5-6 months old suffers from an older injury to her right hip, must definitely be from being hit by a vehicle, her cruciate ligament is ruptured, joint broken and a fracture to her femoral neck. And these old fractures which makes it difficult to fix.

She is still too ill for immediate surgery, but this needs to be fixed asap! Estimate for quite complicated surgery is 17.000 Baht. Shocking too. Money we do not have, but how could we let down on her? Will you help us to help her? Manao deserves to be pain free and able to walk normally.

And she has another health issue we discovered just today. After she finally started to eat a little on her own, we found out that she's excessive drooling when trying to eat/swallow, and she moves her head strangely being busy with her food. So we checked her mouth and found that there is something very wrong with her tongue. We believe this is a genetic disorder, an extreme form of ventral ankyloglossia - her tongue is completely tied to the floor of her oral cavity. She has no mobility of her tongue, can not move it at all.

This of course could bring more serious problems, such as aspiration pneumonia, and so it needs to be corrected surgically as well. There is no guarantee for a successful surgery of her hip since the fractures are old, and also not for correcting her tongue, should we be able to find and afford a specialist to perform the needed lingual frenuloplasty.

We would very much welcome a monthly sponsor for the little girl, we won't let her back to a life on the street indefinitely, and with these conditions, and questionable chance of a full recovery. So Manao will have zero chances of a responsible adoption and so it's very likely that she will stay with us for her lifetime.

I think the name Lucky fits her very well!

She is A LUCKY GIRL, that she has been spotted in the middle of nowhere on the mountain road with no houses or humans for 3 km in each direction and where some heartless human had dumped her during the start of the monsoon rains.

After we could locate her it was extremely hard to catch her, she was very scared and tried to escape all the time which was also dangerous for her with constant weekend traffic, but finally she was so tired that after the slip lead trick failed, we’ve got her to safety with the good old calming trick - the help of a towel thrown over her head.

Lucky was brought to the vets, where a snap 4 Dx test showed positive on e-canis blood parasites but thankfully her cbc blood work done confirmed that her kidneys and liver counts were not too bad, she is anemic with a low platelet count, which came at no surprise looking at the state of her body! She is blind on her left eye, suffers malnutrition and is extremely emaciated from Human neglect. Only after a week with us at the sanctuary we found she has another, underlying health issue, the volunteers witnessed 2 first epileptic seizures, which of course were addressed immediately with proper medication. The epilepsy is probably the main reason she’s got dumped.

Thanks to the daily medication the seizures have stopped by now but it was quite a shock for all of us when it first occurred.

The vets say that she will have to take the meds for her lifetime, and given her blind eye, her shyness and that she snaps at people out of fear and is not that kind of a playful cute and cuddly companion, it will be almost impossible to find her a caring family.

This means that also for lovely Lucky our sanctuary will become her furever home.

Rosco is approx. 6 years old, and a former White Sand's beach stray.

Poor boy had an accident; a car hit him and we were called by lovely caring people from nearby where the accident happened. That was in early October 2016. Rosco lives with us ever since and for almost 4 years now.

We picked him up after people called us and took him at a first to the mainland vets since our only vet on the island had no X-ray machine at that time.

The mainland vet gave us not much hope... he could not do anything except of sending us home after X-ray with meds...

Same as on the island so on the mainland are the vet clinics very basic and no wonder that the quality of the X-ray scans had been that bad that no other vet locally and also abroad whom we asked for advice could tell us a thing.

So, we gave it another try with the highly recommended vets at Ban Kaew Animal Hospital in Chantaburi a 2 hours drive away and there we've finally got very good xray scans and these vets could clearly show and explained the irreparable damage done to his spine.

Rosco is partly paralysed and has no use to the back of his body, he can not control his bladder and has no control if he needs to pooh.

Although he is everybody’s darling, volunteers and visitors alike all love our wheelchair boy, but his chances of adoption are zero especially because he is now already 6 years old and since he can not control bladder and intestines so he has a forever home with us at the sanctuary.

We don’t know what happened to her, but it’s likely that she got hit out of cruelty by a human, probably this little stray girl stole food? Could also be from a road accident, we probably will never get to know but the impact had her left eye popping out and no one cared a dime and looked away ... she was just left like this for weeks, if not months fending for herself on the streets with this very painful injury. We call her Joli!

Joli got her eye removed on July and stays with us ever since!

Hundreds of ticks and fleas were crawling over her body and a cbc plus a snap 4 Dx were mandatory and which showed that this poor little beauty suffers also from severe anemia, as a result of e-canis and living a stray life for at least 2 years on the road (her microchip shows we had her ‘snipped’ in 2018) plus all her illness and health issues and now being left with one eye only she will never ever being adopted and this means that Joli’s fur-ever home will most definitely be our sanctuary.
