Lady survived and was able to nurse her baby, Fleur, who quickly grew into a healthy and strong young puppy.
We sent Lady for numerous x-rays and hoped that she would be able to live at least relatively comfortably despite her injuries. Nonetheless, after consultation with a senior American veterinarian – Dr Emily Talkington, it was determined that Lady’s fractures would never heal fully and she would continue to feel pain. Moreover, her inability to use her back-legs meant that she was unable to go to the toilet properly and made a mess on herself. We further foresaw that she would eventually suffer from pressure sores from her lack of movement.
It was therefore decided that the best thing for Lady was to be put to sleep, which was done in July of 2018. Although very sad for our staff and volunteers, we knew it freed her from the suffering that she had born for her baby, Fleur.

Her joyfulness and affectionate personality made her a favourite with our team. We loved her, but we knew that KAT Centre was no place for her to spend her whole life. She had also lost her mother and needed full time love and care to replace that loss.
As a result, we needed to have her adopted and prepared this short video for Facebook.
Released at midday Nepali time, within a few hours a family arrived at our centre looking for her, and she went home with them that very day!
