In the villages around Lohawat and across Phalodi district, street dogs live alongside farmers, shopkeepers and schoolchildren. They guard homes at night, follow children to school, and wait outside tea stalls for scraps. But when they fall sick or get hurt, there is almost no one to help them. The nearest vet can be hours away, and few families can afford treatment for a dog that belongs to no one. So the dogs suffer quietly. Open wounds become infested with maggots in the desert heat. Mange spreads until a dog loses its fur and scratches its skin raw. Tick fever, eye infections and untreated fractures go on for weeks. And without vaccination, rabies stays a real danger to the dogs and to the people who live beside them. Ujala's Street Dog Medical Camp takes care to where the dogs are. Our team sets up camp in a village with a veterinarian, medicines and basic surgical supplies. We clean and dress wounds, treat skin disease and infections, deworm, and vaccinate every dog we can reach against rabies. Dogs that need more than a day's care are taken back with us for recovery. Each camp also helps the people who live with these dogs. We talk to families about early signs of illness, safe feeding, and why vaccination protects their children too. When a village sees a mangy, limping dog walk away healed, people start treating the dogs around them differently. We have planned camps across multiple villages in Phalodi district, aiming to treat around [number] dogs. Your donation buys the medicines, vaccines and supplies, and covers the vet's time and transport to reach villages no clinic serves. A dog that gets treated today won't spread infection to the dogs around it tomorrow. Help us bring the camp to every village that needs it.
