Animal Welfare of Luxor - AWOL.

Animal Welfare of Luxor - AWOL. AWOL is a registered charity providing free veterinary care for the hard-working animals of the poor agricultural west bank communities in Luxor.

AWOL is a UK registered charity (1124154) which provides free veterinary care and animal welfare for animals in the poor farming communities on the west bank in Luxor. AWOL also aims to improve the welfare of animals through education of their owners and their children. Many of the animals treated are working animals and provide the only means of making a living for the people of this impoverished

area. The charity is entirely reliant on donations and is run by English trustees and Egyptian/English management in Luxor and in the UK. This page is not monitored 24/7. If you have any concerns about an animal on Luxor's west bank please call 01002952215.. For general information please contact UK Managing Trustee Angela on [email protected]

We have carried out four mobile clinics in the last 9 days. In these clinics 203 working donkeys were fitted with new soft head collars and treated for worms and mange. 93 dogs were given soft collars and treated for worms, fleas, and ticks. 65 horses were also treated and 17 cats. As you can see we are very busy!

Two lovely dogs brought in by expat Simone for spaying. This was a good opportunity for the vet students to learn a very important procedure which, surprisingly, is still not always taught at university in Egypt. After the successful surgery the dogs were returned to their home. Spay surgery procedures have only recently started to be taught at Egyptian universities and usually only the theory is taught using books with no practical training. This is starting to change in some Cairo universities but in upper Egypt this training is still not usually available. We hope we can help change this and make this essential knowledge more widely available and, more importantly, widely used.

Sometimes we have to go and fetch our patients especially if they are street cats or dogs . We were made aware of this little cat by expat Susan. The cat has an eye infection which needed treatment. She will spend a few days at the AWOL centre before being returned back to her street home where the residents keep an eye on her.

Out in the villages we were happy to see one of our TNR street dogs looking well and healthy. These dogs stay in one place so we can find them fairly easily but that's not always the case.

This poor little puppy was brought in with a badly fractured knee joint. The owner thinks he was run over by a car. Unfortunately the leg was too badly damaged to heal so amputation was the only option. The puppy has recovered well and the owner brought him back a few weeks later for flea and worming treatment when we were pleased to see him fully recovered.

It is so hot in Luxor in summer with temperatures regularly up in the high forties centigrade. We are seeing a lot of dogs coming into the AWOL centre suffering from heat exhaustion and dehydration. This little one needed intravenous fluids and the owner was given advice on how to prevent this happening again. We were happy to see the sweet little dog was much improved on the second visit.

We have been back out with our mobile clinic twice this week on both the east and west banks. Donkeys, horses, dogs and cats were all treated, soft dog collars fitted, and soft head collars fitted for the donkey's wherever possible or nose chains wrapped with soft covers.

Two of the TNR dogs have left the AWOL centre after successful surgery and vaccinations. The little white dog was found to be unwell so is staying at the centre until well enough for surgery and release. We are sometimes asked why we don't keep the street dogs but it is impossible as there are hundreds and the AWOL centre is a treatment centre not a rescue. It would take a much bigger charity than AWOL to take all the dogs off the streets.
