Pim
Today, Pim underwent a thorough health check-up, including an X-ray, ultrasound, and blood pressure measurement. The results revealed three conditions: Mitral Valve Disease (MMVD, Stage B1), a mild collapsed trachea (Grade I), and fluid in the lungs caused by bronchitis or bronchopneumonia. While MMVD is in its early stages and doesn’t require medication yet, Pim will start a 19-day treatment for his lungs, alongside dietary adjustments to support his heart. With the right care, Pim is expected to recover well. Read more about his journey and treatment plan in the full post!
TVT Girl
TVT Girl” has been through a lot in her journey to recovery. She was diagnosed with a transmissible venereal tumor (TVT), for which she’s already undergone four rounds of chemotherapy. Our next step was to proceed with her sterilization, but her health took a turn, and we decided to hold off on the procedure. Instead, we ran a blood test, which revealed anemia likely due to a blood parasite. Now, she’s on antibiotics to help her build strength, and we’re hopeful that this treatment will support her recovery.
Delbo
Delbo, a street dog I’ve known since he was a puppy, recently had a blood test to check for any signs of illness. The results were mostly good, showing no serious issues, but indicated dehydration and potential infection.
Today, Delbo received deworming tablets and will get Bravecto tomorrow to protect against fleas and ticks. Another dewormer dose is scheduled in two weeks. Delbo’s poor appetite could stem from dehydration or an infection, as his blood tests don’t conclusively point to a blood parasite.
Blood Parasites
Bali may look like paradise, but for dogs, it hides a dangerous secret: blood parasites. These microscopic organisms can wreak havoc on a dog’s health, causing severe illness or even death if left untreated. In this post, we’ll explore what blood parasites are, how they affect dogs, and what you can do to protect your pet from these infections.
From common culprits like Babesia, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma to the signs and symptoms of infection, you’ll learn how to spot early warning signs and understand the best steps for prevention. For dog owners in Bali—or anyone looking to keep their furry friends safe—this guide offers essential insights into protecting your dog’s health in a tropical environment rich in ticks, mosquitoes, and other carriers of blood parasites.
Hope
Last night, we rescued a severely malnourished and dehydrated dog, now named Hope. His condition is critical, with a severe tongue injury preventing him from eating, along with signs of infection and kidney strain. Hope is currently under intensive care at the clinic, receiving fluids, antibiotics, and pain relief as we work to stabilize him. Despite his dire condition, we’re hopeful that with the right care, Hope can begin the long road to recovery.
Gerry
After so many months of seeing him suffer outside, chained in the heat without water or getting completely soaked in the rain, we are finally on the finish line to get him out of this place. You have no idea how happy I am. Today, we took a blood sample to check his health and fully vaccinated him. The family said he was already rabies vaccinated in the banjar, but since there is no documentation, I made sure to vaccinate him today. We also got the blood results already.
Marathon Fundraiser
On August 25th, the Maybank Marathon is happening in Bali, and my friend Monica, who has been helping the dogs for a long time, told me she is taking part and would like to do a fundraiser dedicated to Kintamani Campur. You can imagine how super happy I was because I can’t even remember a […]
Candy Battling Chronic Kidney Disease
Candy has been very slow lately. She didn´t really want to eat anymore and got super skinny. She still went out with all the dogs but just laid down and was just not the Candy we used to know. So yesterday we sent her to the clinic.
A Rough Day for Mr. Flip
Today, Mr. Flip was attacked while our Ibu was bringing the other dogs back to the house. He’s now recovering with staples for a deep wound and antibiotics for an infection. We really need a fence to keep our dogs safe.
