At the stroke of midnight, a distress call reached the rescue team. Locals had come across an ailing stray dog in desperate need of assistance.
Upon their arrival, the rescue team struggled to locate the dog. Just as they were considering returning home, they heard the unmistakable sounds of retching. Persistent in their search, they eventually discovered the dog sheltering beneath a large trash can. Judging by its condition, they suspected it was suffering from a fever. Despite their best efforts, coaxing the dog out proved challenging.
In an attempt to nourish the weakened canine, they offered food, but it showed no interest. Its distressing state—sitting lethargically and vomiting—suggested that abandonment might be the reason for its plight.
After over an hour of determined efforts, they successfully extracted the dog from its hiding place and transported it to a veterinarian.
Confirming their suspicions, the vet diagnosed the dog with a severe fever. Upon learning it was a stray, the vet advised against costly and time-consuming treatment with a low chance of survival. Undeterred, the volunteers were relentless in their decision to proceed with treatment.
Under the vet’s care and administered medication, the dog exhibited signs of improvement. It began to wag its tail and showed a slight interest in drinking water. The vet cautioned that these improvements were only temporary. The dog’s fate rested on its recovery; if its condition improved over the next three days, it stood a chance of a healthy life.
Determined to save the dog, everyone involved dedicated their best efforts, with the rest left to hope for its resilience in the challenging days ahead fervently
