--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I Need Advice Q. I need Veterinary advice for my pet. Regarding Veterinary advice you need to visit our Veterinary Clinic during consulting hours and consult our veterinary Doctor. Such advice cannot be given over email until the animal has been examined physically.

Thank you for enquiring! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q. I need advice regarding the stray animals around my home. Thank you for your concern. Stray dogs survive on our garbage. Remove the garbage and the dogs will migrate to where they get food. Killing stray dogs is not only illegal but also dangerous as new dogs enter to take the place of the old ones. The new dogs may be carrying Rabies into your area or cause other problems. A sensible and effective solution is as follows: You could also start a community dog programme in your area. Please conduct a meeting at your residential area and send us a formal request to start a stray animal control programme. The programme involves: 1. Catching , Sterilization and Vaccination of the dogs against Rabies. 2. Adoption of the pups off the street 3. Monitoring the dogs for disease and revaccination. 4. Removal of dangerous or diseased dogs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q. I cannot take care of my pet. I need to find it a home. Please advise! Pets are their owner’s responsibility and the Blue Cross takes a very strong stand on this. Please ensure your pet is sterilized and vaccinated, and advertise sufficiently for it’s adoption in local newspapers, bulletins, and by posters at your local stores. Only in the worst case of not being able to find a home, the criteria for abandoning a pet at Blue Cross is as follows:

Animal Friendly driving rules! Pass them around and ensure the person driving your vehicle follows them!! 1) When the driver sees a pedestrian or an animal it is always better to drive from behind the individual as opposed to the front as it always easier to walk forward rather than backwards. Also the vision is always focused in front. It hence prevents accidents when people/animals move back without looking as a vehicle is passing in front of them. 2) Always use the dipper and drive with dim lights at night in the city. Bright lights tend to stun animals for a second and that takes away critical time for them to react. 3) A good driver is one that uses his brakes as little as possible. Fast + constant braking is far less efficient than driving at a constant pace. It leads to significantly higher fuel consumption. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us in the case of an accident involving animals. The animal helpline is 32989858. So do save an animal!
