Bruna - name suggested by Alexandra who tagged me on a post about her just under 2 months ago - was picked by me in mapusa after a kind lady managed to secure her.
She was in a very bad shape with a lot of damage to her skin due to malnutrition and some deep wounds.
A few weeks after being with me, one of her back legs became very stiff.
I took her to the vet twice but no diagnosis was reached so I took her to a third vet and there, they were able to give a diagnosis - she must had a fracture in her hip when she was picked up and it healed in an awkward way causing her leg to stay stiff.
The leg is getting a bit more flexible and hopefully, it continues to improve.
She's a darling and has settled in nicely with the other dogs. ❤✨

This puppy - Blackie - was brought to Halfway Home about one week ago by a lovely couple.
They used to feed him and one evening when they went to feed him, they found him with a open wound on his head and unresponsive.
Since it was late at night and they were not able to get hold of any vets, they brought him to me for first aid.
I ensured he was stable and free of pain.
Next morning, I took him to WVS for an examination.
Xrays were taken but no visible damage to the skull could be seen.
So the vets suggested we treat him as a brain-trauma patient.
Without CT or MRI scan, no one could tell how much damage was there in the brain and how likely he was to recover.
It's been a week now and he's doing very well. ❤🙌🏽

The dogs at HalfWay Home are free to roam unless, for certain reasons, they need to be contained - the main reason is when they've just arrived and need to accustom to the place but not all need to be.
Lazaro has been free from the start, going just outside the enclosure where most dogs hang out, then coming back in.
Since yesterday morning, he hadn't been seen so i made a post on local whatsApp groups and within a couple of hours, silke found him and took him to christine place (close to where he was found).
Yogesh kindly brought him to Halfway Home as I don't have a vehicle at the moment.

At least they know it can be pretty painful. 🧐

Lazaro is settling in nicely and is bonding/getting to know the other dogs.

The remaining eye is now safe. 🙌🏽
She had a very large abscess in one of her hind legs and she is not putting that leg on the ground. So sahana and i took her for an xray at wvs and no bones are damaged.
She'll be on antibiotics and that should be enough to heal the leg.
Blood reports didn't show anything that's concerning.
She's on the way to a full recovery. ❤✨💫

On Tuesday, someone reported in one of the local whatsApp groups, a dog who had been crying in the same spot for at least two days.
I went there with Cornell and we found this dog with many flies around her. She was in distress and in pain.
At first, it looked like she had lost both eyes.
But when we got home, we could see that although one eye had been eaten by maggots, the other had an infection and still had a chance to be saved...
Maggots had already started eating the flesh next to the other eye.
