Avian Rehabilitation
February 22, 2019
- Our baby and juvenile Bluebulls (Nilgai) are under recovery at our Hospital.
- Both of them were attacked by dogs under separate circumstances.
- They were brought to our hospital by some local farmers.
- The baby had a very bad bite on her neck just missing the jugular and a big chunk taken out of her right thigh.
- She is recovering well with regular dressing and follow-up meds.
- The older one was a victim of a vehicular accident and multiple dog bites.
- He had a badly fractured ankle in the hind leg.
- The wound was open and filled with mud when he came in.
- Our vets flushed the wound, bandaged and splinted the leg.
- He is now up and moving about but still has a long way to go for recovery.
- Dog bite cases in bluebull fawns have gone up considerably.
- This is the 5th fawn we have received out here, with one being released back to the herd and the others succumbing to their severe injuries.
- Feral dogs are becoming a massive nuisance to these wild animals.
- Hence our awareness programs for local community has been going on for many years to keep them updated with such cases and keep a control on the feral dogs.
- Thank you very much for your kind support in the form of generous donations that keeps us going with saving as much as innocent lives that we could.
