A vey serious car accident had nearly killed a family’s dog. It had only been one in a million chance his deep wounds missed the veins and arteries that would have caused the dog to quickly and painfully have bled to death.
Fortunately for Jalebi, it had been his incredible luck to have survived the accident, and a kind neighbor who immediately called Animal Aid Unlimited to his rescue. The rescue-center, hospital and sanctuary for street animals in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India has saved thousands of lives.
Jalebi was rushed to the animal hospital where his face, shoulder, leg and part of his chest had suffered deep cuts and lacerations. What pain the dog must have been in, but his incredible will to live, and the veterinarian staff treating him were dedicated to helping. The staff determined Jalebi would not need surgery, and with repeated cleansing of the wounds, bandages changed frequently and rest, the dog would heal.
The first day was likely the worst for Jalebi. His wounds were cleansed and bandaged. He was put on intravenous medication to ease his pain and to avoid infection. Then he was placed in his kennel to rest. The next morning he was offered food, but didn’t want to eat. Most likely his pain had not subsided, but after cleaning his wounds and administering more pain medication, within the next few days, Jalebi began feeling better.
By the second week, Jalebi was beginning to feel better, and just to ensure he wouldn’t try to nip at anyone while having his injuries clean and rebandaged, it was necessary to temporarily muzzle him. It didn’t seem as if he minded; he was slowly regaining his strength.
And now we fast forward five months ahead, Jalebi has almost made a complete recovery. Maybe a few scars give him more character, but check out how happy he is.
