Animal Care on Wheels

At Jivdaya Charitable Trust, we believe that every animal deserves timely medical care, regardless of whether they have an owner or live on the streets. Through our Animal Care on Wheels project, our fully equipped treatment van responds to calls across Ahmedabad, providing immediate veterinary assistance to injured, sick, and distressed stray animals right where they are found.

One such case involved a young female stray dog who had recently undergone a sterilization (spaying) procedure by another organization. Unfortunately, she was returned to her area without receiving adequate post-operative care and monitoring. Within a few days, the surgical site on her right thigh became severely infected, causing her pain and discomfort.

Concerned about her condition, a compassionate local caretaker contacted Jivdaya Charitable Trust and requested urgent help. Upon receiving the call, our Animal Care on Wheels team promptly reached the location and assessed the dog. The infection had progressed and required immediate medical attention.

Our veterinary team began treatment on the spot, administering pain medication, injectable antibiotics, and wound care. Since the dog was a community animal and difficult to transport repeatedly, our team visited her regularly and continued treatment in her own locality. The caretaker also played a crucial role by keeping an eye on her recovery and coordinating with our team.

Over the course of one week, the dog's condition improved significantly. The infection gradually subsided, her wound healed well, and she regained her strength and normal activity levels. By the end of the treatment period, she had made a full recovery and was able to return to her healthy life on the streets.

This successful recovery highlights the importance of responsible post-surgical care and the impact of community involvement in animal welfare. It also demonstrates how the Animal Care on Wheels project serves as a lifeline for stray animals who would otherwise have no access to veterinary treatment.

Every call we receive is an opportunity to relieve suffering and save a life. Through the support of compassionate citizens and dedicated field teams, Jivdaya Charitable Trust continues to ensure that help reaches animals whenever and wherever they need it most.

Together, we can create a safer and more compassionate world for street animals.
