HIS Equine Care Quarterly Update - Life saving Treatment, Wound Care and Donkey Friends
At the HIS campus this month, the team attended to 17 cases, providing care for a variety of animals in need.

The most common ailments we treated included wounds, colic, pyometra, eye infections, tumors, lameness, anorexia/general weakness, accidental injuries and pregnancy diagnoses in different species, such as donkeys, ponies, and horses.
A Donkey’s Journey to Healing
The first animal we helped this month was a donkey suffering from visible wounds on its dorsum (upper back) and neck area.

After receiving the necessary medical attention and care, this sweet donkey made a full recovery.
We were thrilled to transfer him to our Bassi shelter, where he is now living a happy life with new friends.
Caring for a Mare with Pyometra
A local mare was brought to us, and upon diagnosis by Dr. Pramod, we discovered she had pyometra, a serious uterine infection.

After five days of care, the mare's condition had improved, and she was released back to her owner. It’s heartwarming to see these animals recover so quickly with the right treatment!
A Mare’s Eye Infection and Pregnancy
Dr. Pramod also treated another mare for an eye infection this month.
He prescribed the necessary medication and scheduled a follow-up appointment for seven days later. At her check-up, the infection was fully healed. Her owner also suspected that she might be pregnant. Dr. Pramod confirmed she was four months along and provided guidance to ensure she received proper care throughout her pregnancy.
Helping with Minor Wounds and Lameness
A mare arrived at our shelter after sustaining minor injuries in an accident. Dr. Pramod treated her with fluid therapy, pain medication, and prescribed oral medication for her ongoing care.

Alongside the treatment for her wounds, our team ensured she was given all the care she needed to make a full recovery.
Sunhaira and Veeru’s Regular Care
Our resident pony, Sunhaira, underwent a routine hoof rasping session this month, conducted by Babulal ji and Nandu.

Equine Care at CRC Bassi
At CRC Bassi, we’re currently caring for seven donkeys (three males and four females), one stallion, and one mule—10 equines in total.
We’re happy to welcome a new family member this month, a donkey transferred from HIS. Additionally, we attended two OPD cases at CRC Bassi in September.
On the 13th of every month, we hold our regular camp where we treated five equines and dewormed all animals that attended.

Finally, all shelter donkeys were dewormed to ensure their continued health.

We’re so grateful for the continued support that allows us to provide these essential treatments and ensure these animals are given the care and love they deserve.
