HIS Equine Care Quarterly Update - Lifesaving Care for Equines and New Hope for A Distressed Donkey
Our project partners, Help in Suffering (HIS), have cared for and treated many equines during the second quarter of 2024. The team and their vets' dedication and expertise have made a world of difference for animals.
MEDICAL CARE AT THE HIS CAMPUS
10 equine cases were treated, including donkeys, ponies, and horses.
Common issues addressed by HIS vets included colic, impaction, lameness, general weakness, and wounds.

RESCUE ANIMALS ADDED TO OUR SPONSORSHIP! - CARED FOR AND SAFE IN A LOVING FOREVER HOME
We'd like to introduce you to three rescue animals who have found their forever home at HIS sanctuary and are now a part of our AAA sponsorship program. Thanks to our supporters, rescued animals can leave behind their harsh pasts and live safe, comfortable lives.
A donkey in distress was brought to the HIS team by his owner with painful neck and dorsum wounds. Our veterinarians conducted a comprehensive examination to diagnose the issue. Following the diagnosis, they administered the necessary treatment to promote healing and prevent infection. We also carefully instructed the owner on how to properly care for Victoria's wounds and monitor his progress. However, his situation remained precarious, leading to his eventual rescue by our dedicated team. Today, Victoria is receiving care and treatment at the HIS hospital.
Sunhaira, the hinny with a will to live, was discovered abandoned and suffering from knuckling, a debilitating joint condition. Struggling to move and in evident distress, this poor creature desperately needed help. Our team wasted no time in rescuing Sunhaira and providing him with the veterinary treatment and compassionate care he required. Despite the initial challenges, Sunhaira is now well on the road to recovery, finally receiving the love and attention he so rightly deserves.
Veeru, a symbol of resilience, was found abandoned years ago, riddled with severe joint issues, overgrown hooves, and deformities. Since his arrival, our veterinary team has been tirelessly providing him with high-quality treatment. Recently, under the skilled leadership of Dr. Jack and Dr. Sanjay, Veeru underwent a successful gelding procedure. Today, Veeru is fully recovered and enjoys a happy life alongside Sunhaira in our horse shelter.
These are just a few examples of the many animals who benefit from our sponsorship program. They receive nutritious food, shelter, warm blankets, regular grooming, essential veterinary treatment, and most importantly, loving care.
