Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 We found Twinkle and her pups last week living in the middle of the road in a village when we conducted a sterilisation outreach project. Twinkle is totally feral and terrified of humans and dispite our best efforts we cannot get within 20 feet of her . We discovered she had another pup that had been struck by a lorry 11 days previously and was being cared for by a local family , We have named her Kiki and transfered her to our vets. June 1st 2013 Twinkle , Kianna and Kenzie , laying in the middle of the road ( taken with a zoom lens ) June 2nd 2013 Twinkle ( taken with a zoom lens ) It took us 3 days to get the remaning 2 pups who have named Kianna and Kenzie and they are now safe on foster with Mark & I and are learning to trust people . Twinkle is now alone by the roadside and we along with the local villagers are feeding her and trying to build up a realtionship so we can treat her skin conditions and later sterilise her. Twinkle , Kianna , Kenzie and Kiki really are the faces of canine overpopulation here in Sri Lanka , and why we believe our spay / neuter work is vital to preventing suffering and changing attitudes towards animal welfare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 On Thursday we discovered Twinkle had a 4th pups was rescued from the roadside by a local teenager Tharuka and his family , Tharuka also asked if I would like to name his puppy , as the others all had K names I have chosen Keanu Twinkles 2 daughters Kianna and Kenzie are being fostered by Mark and I . All 3 pups have mange caught from Twinkle and are undergoing conventional mange treatment supplemented by Neem Oil which Kianna espically is benefiting from. Twinkle is still terrified of people and now even more nervous than ever of our tuk tuks so a local family are feeding her daily with food we are supplying and trying to build a bond with her so we can catch her for the treatment ( and sterilisation ) she urgently needs Keanu after his bath this morning Kianna has the worst skin of the 3 pups but is responding well to treatment and neem oil Kenzie is already a beautiful girl , when her hair fully grows back she will be stunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yantan Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 They are little smashers :wub: They are going to be even more so once you've managed to rid them of mange. Are all the dogs in Sri Lanka mongrels or can you pick out any sort of breed that might be in the mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
