Riptide Comes To The Clinic With A Mysterious Leg Wound

Soi Dog Foundation Apr 1, 2014 NGOs, Soi Dog Foundation 0 comments

Riptide was picked up recently by animal rescue officer Khun Jaroon for a leg wound, the cause of which cannot be explained.

Once Riptide arrived at the shelter, vets treated his wound, located on his inner left thigh, with anti-inflammatories, pain killers and antibiotics. It was noticed by Dr Sai that Riptide was unable to put any weight on his back right leg. Riptide has been sent for x-rays, which have showed a fracture at the top of his leg bone, which will require surgery.

We will update you on how Riptide progresses after his surgery and we are hoping he will be able to walk normally again.

It is only because of members of the Emergency Response Team that dogs like Riptide can be collected and brought to the shelter for immediate treatment. You can help Riptide and many dogs like him by becoming a member of the Emergency Response Team. Please visit https://www.soidog.org/en/donate-today/ert/ert.html and join up today.
