Suggest plan of action- canine distemper dog
Hi, Hi. One of my community dogs contracted canine distemper. Not my pet. He doesnt recognise me anymore. I tried catching him for treatment, but got too scared and fled. He's still alive and i have seen him a few times in the society, but i cant catch him, hence cant get the treatment done. I called up many vet clinics and ngos to ask if they could help with catching him, but they all said no. I want to help the dog. What can i do next? He is around 1 year old and wasn't vaccinated.
Until 3 days back, i had given him chicken broth with some rice, which he ate, after which his jaws got locked. He has become quite skinny.
The steps that come to my mind: 1. There are 2 private clinics left to approach. I've approached other private clinics too. One of these is a little far, so i'm not sure they'll come. But they seem to be my last option.
There is a government hospital, whose doctor is pretty cooperative. But then i have to take him there, which i cant, unless i can catch him. I dont have a cage or anything.
I get random paid labour to help me catch him and then confine him.
He may not be very physically strong, so he wont really run or anything. But since he's already suffering, i dont want to stress him more so i didnt try catching him again. In trying to move away, he was falling and hurting himself, which was difficult to watch.
Also, please pray for him.
