Great to see yesterday's emergency case doing well this morning! Mother and baby are both well and healthy.

Out of hours emergency treatment needed for this donkey who had just given birth with a difficult delivery. Dr Mahmoud and Assistant Manager Ahmed went to the centre to treat this donkey who had a retained placenta. Mother and baby are now resting at the veterinary centre.

The dog whisperer (AKA Dr George)! It can take patience to persuade a wary street dog to trust you but Dr George has the knack! This girl was brought to the AWOL centre to be spayed. After a short recuperation she will be vaccinated, tagged and returned to the home she knows.

Friday is our staff's day off but our dedicated team are sometimes needed and we always do our best to help. Today we were needed on both the east and west banks so our staff gave up their free time to treat different cases in completely different directions.

A local lady asked for help with four puppies she has been caring for with eye infections in Luxor town. The caring lady is normally at work so we agreed to meet her today to treat the puppies. Dr Aya administered eye drops and we'll return to support the puppies and their carer in a few days.

On the west bank we were contacted by a tourist concerned about a dog heard barking and crying all day. The dog had been tied up all day with a short rope but when our team arrived the dog was loose. He was given food and worming treatment by Dr Mahmoud and fitted with a soft collar. The owner wasn't present but we left a long leash instead of the short rope he had been using. We will revisit next week to see how the dog is getting on.

Today we went back out to Hatshepsut's temple to check on the dogs and take them food and we were delighted to see a very special boy! The handsome gold dog is Antar who we collected from the temple late last year when he was seen limping. He was treated at the AWOL centre for some nasty bite wounds then castrated, vaccinated, and later returned to his home. Not only was he proudly showing off his ear tag he also had a new collar with his name on which the security guards had supplied him. It makes us so happy to see this lovely boy well and healthy. All the dogs we could find were checked and food left for them.

So happy to see these two little pups well and healthy after being admitted with suspected parvovirus last week. With IV fluids and continued care they have fully recovered and back to normal.

Our inpatient with the awful neck wound has made wonderful progress with continued treatment at the AWOL centre. He has now gone back home with a nice new harness to replace the dangerous rope his owner had used. His owner had been given advice on his care so we hope this won't happen again. He should be back for a check-up soon. See post from September 19th for original photos of this lovely boy.
