Animal's lives are not easy ones, especially the strays. This is what we fight for, to make them feel as if they were kings and queens.
La vida de los animales no es fácil, especialmente los que no tienen hogar. Esto es por lo que luchamos, para hacerlos sentir como si fueran reyes y reinas.
Meet Juanita.
She's 3 years old now. This photo was taken the day we came across her. She had been dragged by a pick up with a rope around her neck. Two men were trying to kill her. We saw them and started chasing them until they let her go, She was lying on the road, very still; we thought she was dead, but fortunately she wasn't. Look at her injuries. It took us many months to heal her physically and psychologically.
Conozcan a Juanita
Tiene 3 años. Este es el día en que la encontramos. Estaba siendo arrastrada por una camioneta con una soga alrededor de su cuello. Dos hombres estaban tratando de matarla. Al ver eso empezamos a perseguirlos hasta que la soltaron. Creímos que estaba muerta porque yacía inmovil sobre la calle, afortunadamente vivía. Observen sus heridas. Nos llevó muchos meses recuperarla física y psicológicamente.
This is Juanita today on her favourite chair. She's very playfull and jealous. She has completely forgotten her sad past.
Esta es Juanita en su lugar favorito. Es muy juguetona y celosa. Ha olvidado completamente su pasado.
Meet Angel.
He is 8 years old. He was hit by a car and left on the road to die. When we came across him he was helpless and unable to move. We picked him up and flew to the Vet's hospital. His condition was critical and he was in comma, He had no life expectancy. After 20 minutes at the vet's his heart stopped beating and he even stopped breathing. We managed to bring him back. His heart stopped three time during a period of several hours . We decided to stay overnight at the clinic to watch over him. We spent the next week practically at the clinic, eating, and resting there. He made it and his recovery was incredible.
Conozcan a Angel.
El tiene 8 años. Fue atropellado por un auto y dejado al costado de la ruta para morir. Lo encontramos en un estado de indefensión total, imposibilitado de moverse y en coma.
No tenía expectativa de vida. A los 20 minutos de haber llegado a la clínica tiene su primer paro cardiorespiratorio. Pudimos resucitarlo. Tres veces sucedió lo mismo en las siguientes horas. Decidimos pasar la noche en la clínica con él para poder estar pendientes. Pasamos una semana viviendo prácticamente en la clínica. Lo logró y su recuperación fue increíble.

Meet Snowy
Our most recent case. Hit by a car and left to die. We flew to the vet's not knowing if we would be able to get there with him alive. He was in shock. His front leg separated from the body. A terrible injury and a broken hip as well. He was sutured but some days later the wound was wide open again. Three times he was operated on with the same result.
The last time it was decided nothing could be done and that the wound should remain open because there is no more skin to suture, we have to wait until it grows back. After a month he has started walking a bit but we have to help him because he loses the balance most of the time.
Conozcan a Snowy,
nuestro caso más reciente. Atropellado por una auto y abandonado para que muriera. Volamos al veterinario sin saber si íbamos a alcanzar a llegar. Estaba en shock. Su bracito separado del resto del cuerpo. Una herida terrible y la cadera quebrada también. Fue suturado pero a los pocos días la herida estaba nuevamente totalmente abierta . Tres veces se repitió el procedimiento sin éxito. La última vez decidimos dejarlo abierto ya que no hay más piel para suturar. Tenemos que esperar a que la piel comience a regenerarse. Luego de un mes Snowy ha comenzado a caminar pero pierde el equilibrio por lo que tenemos que ayudarlo.
Despite the fact that the wound looks terrible, actually it is in the process of healing. In this picture Snowy is not in pain, he is yawning because he is tired after we made him walk for a while so that his muscles remain functional.
A pesar de que la herida se ve terrible, en realidad está en proceso de recuperación. En esta foto, Snowy no siente dolor, está bostezando porque está cansado por estar ejercitándose para no perder tonicidad en sus músculos.
ROYAL BLUE SOLID:
Snowy feels better today and Dr Eduardo Pons feels happy for his improvement.
Snowy se siente mejor hoy y el Dr. Eduardo Pons se siente alentado por la mejoría.
