Critical Care Fund for Street Animals

On an average, the CARE trauma centre receives 180-200 Accident cases of dogs every month, of that at least a 100 cases require intensive and critical care monitoring. These are dogs that have either undergone a major surgery and require dedicated post-operative care or dogs brought in to the facility in a very critical and fragile condition. All of them need to be monitored round the clock, oxygen levels, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, etc. where fluctuations could even cause death.

CARE's critical care support unit has the best available equipment that will maintain the condition of these animals on an hourly basis with dedicated and trained personnel to record the progress of the cases.

The Unit has Oxygen Concentrators to maintain a continuous supply of oxygen , Patient Monitors for blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, temperature

ICU maintaining cages, specially designed that allows the equipment to be attached to the cage.

And the best veterinary team in place.

The most important factor is the number of critical CARE cases attended to and lives saved.

Each Inpatient admitted requiring critical care will be first administered emergency and immediate treatment include stabilization with IV fluids, pain management, wound care & bleeding control and so on. This is followed by investigations for diagnosis like blood tests, x rays, ultrasound and so on. Once a diagnosis is made, the treatment required is initiated which includes medications and/or surgeries and long term housing until recovery.

We do this for about 100 animals every month. Each case costs approximately a minimum of Rs 5000 for all the above.

With this project we can save the lives of over 3 animals per day, 100 animals per month and 1200 animals per year, who are critically ill or injured , fighting desperately for their lives.
