Liliana – pack’s Alfa female
Frontlinevet. Blog 20 Aug 2010 | 7:10 amI have returned at LILIANA’S together with a GIA volunteer in order to treat the dogs against fleas and mange . We imagined that since the dogs are all in a yard it will be relatively easy to take each of them and spray with a flea product . Spot on solutions are extremely expensive for 60 70 dogs so we decided to go the cheap way . The dogs welcomed us as intruders and started barking lound at us and one of them bit my thigh. LIliana grabbed a stick and threatened them so we could enter her yard. Liliana turns out to be friendly and wanted to help us with our mission . You could see her skin also suffered because of the insects. She grabbed the first dog and as we tryed to spray him the dog got scared and tried to bite Liliana. We managed to treat the small and tame dogs which are only a few. The dogs are semi wild and undersocialised . it is basically impossible to treat them against fleas because they will not come to you! The only way i see it is to have them sedated for the soo wanted sterilisation and while they are asleep to treat them against parasites. Because of the inbreeding of demodex dogs demodex mange is extremely present among her dogs . Some of the dogs look terrible and unfortunately it is extremely difficult to treat them in those conditions. I offered again my help regarding the sterilisation of the whole pack . Liliana is acting as an Alfa female and i think she thinks that sterilisation of the dogs will lead to the pack’s extinction. I definitely think she needs medical therapy and counseling. She keeps promissing that she will allow sterilisatiuon of the pack but this will probably never happen . Her neighbours hear her saying and talking to herself after we leave the place : ” I will not castrate or spay you my children– you shall breed free because you are free souls” Again we are in a big dillema ….

Saturday night rescue mission
Frontlinevet. Blog 7 Aug 2010 | 3:28 pmI was just checking my Fb account when i received an e call from a volunteer. She together with two other volunteers spotted a stray dog that was trying to get something from his mouth. He was drulling and obviously in distress. I went there and the dog was in a fenced garbage place. In no time i grabbed him and administer tranquliser . I then rushed at the clinic, it was 11 pm. At the clinic i found what was cousing the trouble. A pork rib was stuck between the dogs upper molars. It is not uncommon for the dogs to eat from the garbage sites and those kind of problems can happen with serious consequences. SO do not feed your dog any barbecue leftovers !!! Since the dog was not neutered and was sedated anyway, i decided to castrate him and to tag him. I find it great when people like those volunteers act like area guardians and spot dogs in need and rush them to the vet. I am happy that the dog is fine and i now can go to sleep relieved . Happy that the dog did not mess my car .@))) Ps the dog is now recovering at one of the volunteer places . Enjoy the pics

Dillema
Frontlinevet. Blog 16 Jun 2010 | 5:35 amToday wednesday was the day i planned to go at Liliana’s house and together with my colleague Dr Corbu + a team of volunteers to help clean the place, spay and neuter all the dogs and also disinfect the yard so that the dogs will not pick up ticks and fleas. Yesterday i spoke with Liliana on the phone and i got the message that she declines my offer of help because the weather was too hot and said something about september october. I saw the place and there is shade enough for the dogs to recover.We are experienced with working in this kind of situations and places. I explained her that everything was gonna be alright yet she declined receiving us there. The volunteers explained me they have been trying to help her since 2006 and the same time they got a negative feedback from her. Her dogs are in terrible condition: full of mange demodex fleas and ticks. There are litters of pups that die because the moms do not have enough milk and antibodies and can not feed them properly. Now i have to consider the fact that she abuses her dogs and preventing us to go there is a cruelty deed against her animals. I am worried and i think that maybe we should have a tribunal order and go there help the animals. What do you think about this?

Liliana
Frontlinevet. Blog 14 Jun 2010 | 6:38 amI found out about Liliana during the April 2010 Spayathon in Bucharest. A person who kept bringing dogs to be sterilised told us about her. ancy, the president of Romania Animal Rescue promised help with treatments and sterilisations of dogs on site. The other days I visited the place she lives. A GIA volunteer joined me and we took pictures of the house. It is like entering the wonderland but a sad one. The yard is not taken care of, it is like a little mix of jugle and rubish. Dogs came barking to us but none tried. Liliana has been living there for two years since she had to flee from her home in Bucharest together with her 18 dogs. She had many problems with her neighbours who tried to poison all her dogs because they were too noisy. She appears as a warm hearted woman that does not ask much from the world : just her dogs to be happy and healthy. She accepted to talk to us which was not the case with other people visiting her. She said that she lived without electriciy and that now she has to carry water from a cemetary across the street because her water well bucket was damaged. She suffers from Diabetes and her legs are affected by trombosis. She asked for help and we are willing to provide help for her. A new water bucket was mandatory and urgent and this week we plan to ge there with medical team and volunteers to clean the place . I will keep you posted

Ciao -Micul print/The little prince!
Frontlinevet. Blog 17 Feb 2010 | 3:53 pmPe Ciao il vedem de fiecare data cand ne oprim la benzinarie. El este catelul care sta in usa si cerseste de mancare si care se bucura de fiecare data cand cineva ii acorda atentie. Nu te musca si nu te latra, el se considera acasa si face oficiile de gazda la fel precum un valet englez. Viata lui poate parea lipsita de griji dar de fapt nu este deloc asa. Puii care se nasc pe marginea drumurilor aglomerate sunt victime sigure ale traficului intens. De cele mai multe ori ei sunt accidentati si atunci cand nu mor raman cu handicapuri mai mici sau mai mari ceea ce le face viata mizerabila. Mi-as dori sa nu mai vad catei ca Ciao la benzinarii dar case pentru ei se gasesc greu. Singura solutie ramane sterilizarea lor si in acest fel ei nu vor mai da nastere altor catei care sa aiba o soarta extrem de cruda. Cati dintre noi nu am vazut catei striviti pe sosele?? Ce imagine groaznica !!!@(( Ciao este simbolul luptei pentru sterilizarea a cat mai multor catei de pe marginea drumurilor iar anul acesta a intrat in concursul organizat de Humane Society of the United States cu prilejul Spay Day =ziua internationala a reducerii numarului de animale nedorite. Fiecare vot pentru Ciao are un dublu impact : consolidarea portofoliului de puncte si strangerea de fonduri pentru proiectele mobile ale Romania Animal Rescue-RAR www.romaniaanimalrescue.com.Votul se poate face direct pe pagina concursului http://photocontest.humanesociety.org/contest.html?page=viewIndex&contestId=2&clearSearch=1&paging=0 sau pe www.Romaniaanimalrescue.com unde veti gasi mai multe posibilitati de a dona. Rugamintea este ca in cazul in care donati pe pagina RAR sa ne scrieti un e mail in care sa ne confirmati donatia pentru ca noi sa o transferam in concurs . Lupta este stransa si fiecare vot conteaza . Practic eu vad acest concurs ca pe un exercitiu de unitate al Romanilor. Putem dona 5 10 15 $. Suma , pentru multi dintre noi nu inseamna foarte mult dar care, poate salva o viata . In cazul in care nu donati, puteti populariza concursul pe pagina voastra personala .Va multumesc ca ati avut rabdare sa cititi aceste randuri si va multumesc anticipat indiferent care va fi optiunea voastra . /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// .Ciao is the dog you see each time you stop at a gas station. He sits patiently by the front door, wagging his tail in hopes of a moment of attention from a kind stranger. He doesn’t bark, he doesn’t bite, he merely waits in his humble “home” with the patience and forbearance of an English valet. His life may appear to be easy and carefree. But nothing could be further from the truth. Most puppies who are born near the congested highways are guaranteed to fall victim to the unrelenting traffic. Often times fatal, these accidents can also lead to crippling injuries which create lives of abject misery. It would be wonderful if all the dogs like Ciao could find homes, real homes. But this is not a likely outcome. The only humane solution is to practice sterilization to prevent these animals from suffering such cruel fates. We have all seen dogs who have been crushed under the wheels of oncoming cars, their remains left behind on the road. It is a sight both terrible and preventable. Ciao is serving as the symbol of the struggle to fund spay/neuter operations for other gas station dogs just like him. This year, his image has been entered in the HSUS Spay Day Photo Contest. Every vote cast has a double impact: first, it will help fund spay/neuter projects throughout the country and secondly, it will help Ciao win the contest and bring international attention to the plight of strays in Romania. You can vote by visiting the HSUS Photo Contest page: http://photocontest.humanesociety.org/contest.html?page=viewIndex&contestId=2&clearSearch=1&paging=0 or by visiting Romania Animal Rescue’s page: www.romaniaanimalrescue.com. If you donate on RAR page please send us an e-mail to confirm the donation and we will tranfer the amount to the contest. Every vote counts and so does every donation, no matter how small. A sum like $5 or $10 has relatively little meaning to most of us. But it can mean lives saved and suffering alleviated. And even if you can’t donate, you can still make a difference by posting this story to Facebook, MySpace or Twitter and spreading the word. Thank you–
