Our work in the UK and Sri Lanka is increasing daily so this is a great chance for the team to catch up and plan our next 12 months.

Dogstars Midge

On Thursday Mo posted this on our Facebook page

Dr. P, Mo and Sampath went to Beragala Temple this morning and the 6 dogs there were treated with ivermectin for their skin problems, and given ARV. This is a picture of Midge - her treatment cost around 4.50 sterling. This is the same as a good glass of wine in the UK. What's better value.......(no contest......)

Midge as she has been named has now received stage 1 of her treatment for her skin condition , her course of vaccinations have started and we have ( with amazing donor support ) arranged for sacks of dog food to be sent to the Temple for Midge and her fellow Temple dogs.

Midge is no longer alone , she is a Dogstar dog

Updates

It's day 19 of the Embark / TAPA / field clinic at Moratuwa and Dogstars team have seen 297 dogs ( some more than once ) Mo's blog last week has some excellent photos of the team at work.

Mean while back at base Dr P has performed our 1037th sterilisation and plans are underway for our local clinic on May 22nd
