Hundreds of camels & other animals benefit from dedicated veterinary Care

Thanks to your fantastic donations, the Camel Rescue Centre (CRC) team in India assisted 279 camels in need last month. They also provided veterinary treatment for 256 animals other than camels.

Read a few of the animals’ stories below:

 Story One

An owner called Yadram contacted the CRC’s mobile clinic team to inform them his camel was not eating properly and appeared dull. Following examination, the vet team diagnosed the camel with alkalosis, a condition commonly caused by an imbalance in feed and water intake.

The camel was given appropriate medicines to correct the condition, along with supportive treatment and fluids. Yadram was also advised on proper feeding and watering practices, and his camel showed improvement following treatment.

Story Two

An owner named Kamlesh reported his camel was showing signs of discomfort and reduced appetite. CRC’s mobile vet team visited the site and, after careful examination, diagnosed the camel with mild impactive colic. This was likely due to improper feeding and inadequate water intake.

Appropriate treatment was provided to relieve this condition, along with supportive care. The owner was also educated on proper feeding and hydration to prevent the colic from recurring.

Daily Clinics + Monthly Camp

During December, the CRC team saw many horses, goats, dogs, cows and sheep. They were all treated for different ailments. Some simply came for deworming and vaccination.

In the daily clinic and monthly camp, 256 animals other than camels were provided with care.

Goat Case

Lala brought his goat to the CRC clinic after noticing she was repeatedly straining to urinate and showing signs of discomfort. On clinical examination, the goat was found to have a urinary obstruction, which was causing pain and distress.

The condition was explained to the owner and immediate treatment was initiated at the clinic to relieve the obstruction and reduce discomfort. Fortunately, after three hours the goat started urinating and did not require surgery.

Buffalo Case

Radheshyam brought his animal into the CRC after noticing a wound under her tail. The vet team found the wound to be painful and contaminated, causing great discomfort for the poor buffalo.

Proper cleaning and dressing of the wound was completed at the clinic to prevent infection and promote healing. The owner was advised to keep the area clean and perform regular wound care. He was also instructed to follow-up with the team if any complications arose.

With your ongoing support, the CRC team will continue to alleviate suffering for many camels and other animals in their region of India.
