‘Zorro’ lost her one eye but survived with an apt treatment:
It was a sunny day in India and most people travel from home to work in their private vehicles. One fine day a man commuting to work in his car found ‘Zorro’ a kitten lying on the side of the road, he stopped the car and got out of it - running ‘towards the kitten. On reaching the spot he saw that poor ‘Zorro; was injured in his right eye and was in a very bad condition. In spite running late for the work, he decided to take the kitten as soon as possible to the Jivdaya Charitable Trust, an Animal hospital which is located near Panjarapole, Ahmedabad.
As the kitten was rescued and brought to Jivdaya, our doctors saw him and opted for an emergency surgery.
‘Zorro’ was brutally injured in his left eye. The injury was such that our doctors decided to Enucleate (removal of the entire eyeball) by which the cat might lose one eye.
Enucleation is a surgical procedure where the entire eyeball is removed from its socket. It is typically done when the eye is severely damaged or diseased and cannot be saved. Our doctor couldn’t save the eye as it was already damaged beyond repair, but they successfully

'Raga’ an injured crow received treatment for its patagial laceration wound at Jivdaya. Patagial laceration wounds are injuries to the skin and soft tissues of the wing, which can be caused by several factors, including kite string injuries during the Kite Flying Festival, known as ‘Uttarayan’ in Gujarat, India.
Raga was severely injured with a sharp kite string and was tangled to a branch of a tree till the time a group of rescuers noticed and rescued the bird. Our Volunteer Avian Expert sutured Raga’s wound in a surgery as the crow was under a tremendous shock and pain. Suturing is a common treatment for patagial laceration wounds in birds, as it helps to close the wound and promote healing faster.
After the surgery ‘Raga’ is resting and recovering in a quiet and stress-free environment, being provided with appropriate nutrition, and being monitored for signs of healing or infection. Once the Raga is fully recovered, it will be released back into the wild.

‘Coffee’ recovered from extreme trauma of a broken jaw:
‘Coffee’ was rescued and brought to Jivdaya with a Bilateral Mandibular fracture (jaw). A mandibular fracture is a break in the bone in the lower jaw (mandibular). It requires a large force (trauma) to fracture the mandible. The rescuer could not find a reason for the fracture but when he brought Coffee in, it was under tremendous shock. Our vet immediately took over the case and started stabilizing the condition of the patient. Then the team proceeded with surgery to fix the fractured bone. After a long surgery, coffee came out with a fixed jaw, and this beautiful dog recovered rapidly from the injury and trauma and happily played around. After coffee’s complete recovery this furry buddy was released back to its locality where there are a group of people who promised to take care of coffee with food, water, shelter, and lots of love.

Simi was a little orphan kitten when Mansi adopted her. From the first day, they were inseparable. Simi used to eat, sleep, and play on Mansi’s lap. It was a really hard time for both of them when Mansi started going to college. Every day Simi used to sit near the door and wait for Mansi to return home. They are best buddies. Being a pampered kitty, Simi was mostly indoors and was not aware of the outside threat.
One day when Mansi was going to college Simi somehow got out of the house and was attacked by a stray dog. Paranoid Mansi immediately took her to Jivdaya for treatment. Our in-house vet checked Simi thoroughly for any internal and external injuries. After the primary treatment, our doctor explained the care and medication to Mansi and told her not to worry about Simi as she is going to be okay in no time. Relieved Mansi took Simi home with a smile on her face.
