Moti gets treatment

Moti’s ordeal is a striking example of the challenges and urgency involved in animal rescue and care. His plight came to our attention on August 30, 2018, in front of SNDT College during a rescue operation for another dog, Browny. While Browny was successfully rescued and began receiving treatment, Moti, suffering from a severe maggot infestation in his ear, eluded capture and ran away.

Determined to help, we dispatched Nanu on September 1st to find and treat Moti. Although the vet, Sawali, was able to provide initial treatment, Moti proved elusive in the following days, evading capture despite multiple attempts with ambulances. During this time, he did receive some medication when spotted, but his condition, particularly his ear, severely deteriorated due to the maggots.

Finally, in a stroke of luck, Rajesh managed to catch Moti, who was then immediately shown to vet Karkare. The diagnosis was dire: Moti needed reconstructive surgery for his ear, following the treatment for the maggot infestation.

The cost of Moti’s treatment, including tests, foster care, and surgery, is estimated at 30,000 Rupees. Given the number of cases we’re handling, we’re reaching out for financial assistance. Those willing to help can directly pay to vet Dave or foster Pradeep Kadam. We request that any contributors inform Eshan or myself before making a payment, to ensure accurate record-keeping of the funds received.

Moti’s situation highlights the critical need for timely medical intervention in animal rescue efforts and the importance of community support in these endeavors. With the right care and support, we hope to see Moti recover and thrive despite the challenges he’s faced.
