Over the Bayram holiday we received a phone call from Sah supermarket about a large dog in distress that they believed had been hit by a car. Centre staff responded to the call for help and went to the supermarket. When they arrived they saw it was Roman, the kangal who lives around the market and spends a lot of his time sitting or laying outside the front of the store. Roman was in a great deal of pain and could not stand. He was taken to Vetpoint where he was x-rayed and checked over for other possible damage to his body. Fortunately there were no broken bones, but he was badly bruised and had some deep wounds on the underneath of all 4 legs. Antibiotics and pain killing medication was given. The vet on duty thought it was probably caused by a collision with a vehicle.
Roman was taken to our rescue centre for his continued care. Even though we put 2 buster collars on Roman to prevent him for licking his wounds, he still managed to get to them and we had to dress them daily.
Sah market paid for his veterinary treatment and donated towards his food and medication whilst at the Centre. Thank you Sah and their staff for showing compassion and kindness to this gentle street dog.
Roman was taken back to Sah today where he was welcomed by staff and shoppers. We think he’s happy to be back!
