Access to Veterinary Care
Providing services in Many Farms Community
February was National Spay Awareness Month. We were so busy that month that it was difficult to post our activities. We went into Many Farms community and assisted with a home visit. Access to Veterinary Care at its finest with our Mobile Unit Brownie! Their home area is an area where canine dumping occurs. A different rescue helped with puppy surrenders but with 10 dogs and more than half of them females they were gonna be faced with multiple litters soon in addition to trying to support with Veterinary care. So what did RezDawg Rescue, Inc and Rez-Solutions and Animal Shelter, Inc do? We put our heads, finances and staff together to make a difference.
10 dogs= 6 spays, 4 neuters
5 Mange treatments
3 TVT TREATMENTS
1 forelimb amputation (the doggy had previous fracture and healed over with a severe limp and joint disease)
TVT is transmissable venereal tumor that is spread by coitus causes severe bleeding and growths of vulva and pen*s areas. Only treatment is chemotherapy along with Spay/neuter to help stop coitus. So in a visit we helped with prevent unwanted litters within that group of dogs, prevent mange from becoming worst, dewormed them for zoonotic diseases and vaccinated all dogs, treated for TVT. We ALSO did a forelimb amputation to help make one dog more comfortable with his deformed limb. He got transferred to RezDawg Rescue for medical fostering and is now up for foster and/or adoption.
These types of assistance is pure grassroots directed care. These dogs were pure rez dogs that needed the assistance.
If you would like to help towards our mission of bringing Access to Veterinary Care to Tribal Lands please contact us. We could use medical items, monetary donations, etc.

There are many reasons why a dog or cat shake there head, but this could be one of them.
Ear mites live in the ear canal and on the surrounding skin. Signs of ear mites in dogs/cats include scratching around the ears, head and neck, skin irritation, head shaking, the presence of an ear discharge or and an unpleasant odor from the ears.
Please always take your pet to a clinic for owie's, ouchies and or "just doesn't look rights".
Foxtails travel. The danger of foxtails goes beyond simple irritation. Because these tough seeds don't break down inside the body, an embedded foxtail can lead to serious infection for your dog.
