43 dogs and 14 cats were sterilized, dewormed, vaccinated, had their ears cleaned, sprayed against fleas and ticks and given an injection of vitamins on September 13 2009 at the Nuevo Progreso School
This social service represents a savings to the community of San Miguelito of approximately $5,000.00 because a spay may cost over $100.00 in a private clinic. It should be noted that the guardians/rescuers of the animals treated are all low-income individuals and can not go to a private clinic. The social service has a higher value if we consider that a female dog and her off springs can be the source of 67,000 puppies in six years.
The sterilization campaign was organized by the Health Ministry, through Dr. Nadje Segundo and Dr. Centella.
Participating vets: Dr. René Guajardo, Dr. Gloria Fonseca, Dr. Itzel Terrero, and Dr. Letty de Guajardo. Assistantss: Los Angeles de los Animales, Rebeca, Daniel, Marlen, Amarilys, Liriela, Elia, Luis
