Creating a Kinder World for Camels & Other Animals in India

Last month, the dedicated Help in Suffering team at the Camel Rescue Centre (CRC) in India had some interesting cases involving not only camels but also a goat and a buffalo.

You can read their stories below:

Camel Story One

One day the CRC received a call from a camel herd owner. He said that many of his camels were suffering from mange - one of the most common diseases seen in camels. The CRC team travelled to the camel herd and gave each animal an injection to cure the disease.

The vet also advised the owner that the camels would require further injections until they had completely recovered from the mange. The camel herd owner was grateful and happy for this free veterinary treatment.

Camel Story Two

Suresh brought his camel to the CRC as he had not eaten well for several days, and he had foul-smelling loose faeces with colic symptoms. His body temperature was also high.

The vet team dewormed the camel and treated him with appropriate medications. His owner was advised to provide him with rest and easily-digestible food.

Cases from daily clinics or monthly camp

Along with these two cases, the CRC treated an additional 192 camels during October.

They also assisted 461 other animals including working horses, goats, dogs, cows, sheep and goats. These animals were treated for different ailments, or received deworming and vaccinations.

Two of these animals’ stories are featured below.

Goat Story

One day, Deepak came to the centre with his goat. He explained that his goat had not eaten for three days and had foul-smelling diarrhoea. After proper examination, the goat was administered fluid therapy along with other medications.

The goat was also dewormed, since worms may sometimes cause this problem.

Buffalo Story

A woman called Meenakshi visited the CRC with her buffalo. The buffalo was suffering from a maggot wound on her genitals. The buffalo was very uncomfortable and was in pain when passing urine or faeces.

Appropriate medications were administered, the wound was cleaned and any visible maggots were removed. The owner was advised to keep the wound covered and to keep any flies away from her.

The CRC is able to assist hundreds of animals every month because of your compassionate support and generous donations. Thank you for playing a vital role in creating a kinder world and alleviating suffering for so many animals.
