Up
to now, the work of Spay/Panama had been 'reactive' to the existing
problems of over population of cats and dogs. In Pedasi, the work
was 'proactive' to avoid the misery and unnecessary death of abandoned
animals. On January 11, 2009, 148 animals in Pedasi, Peninsula de
Azuero, were sterilized, dewormed, had their ears cleaned, sprayed for
fleas and ticks, given a shot of vitamins and the dogs were vaccinated
against rabies. Not one case of TVT was encountered and all the
animals were quite healthy.
Originally we had 10 vets signing up for the blitz -- our highest number ever, two from WorldVets.

A
total of $325.20 was collected, the equivalent of $2.20 per
animal. Please help us reach more animals by making a donation
which is tax deductible in Panama or in the US. All donations are
posted in the website.
