Last month, Animal Rahat provided 1,239 animals with vitally needed veterinary care, including 413 bullocks, 106 donkeys, and 45 horses. Among them was the donkey pictured below, who had a hugely swollen abscess on her left thigh. One of our veterinarians anesthetized her via a method called “standing stun” and surgically drained the wound of more than 3 liters of pus! You can imagine her relief.

Please excuse the graphic nature of this photo , but without showing such images , it’s almost impossible to convey the amount of pressure and pain that such an abscess can cause. In the days that followed, one of our staffers returned over and over again to provide follow-up treatment, and this donkey has a made a full recovery.
