Ubin can be a unforgiving place for animals. There are thoughtless people who set wire snares to trap them. I have freed birds and monitor lizards from their traps. Sometimes Ubin residents would ask me to help their dogs who are injured. The Negasunt powder from Bayer is very effective against maggot wounds. They cost about $10 each and comes in a small bottle. I would gave them away, knowing that the lives of many dogs have been saved. (Negasunt should not be used on cats however).
Here is the story of GI Jane. She was named GI because of her sheer will to live.
GI Jane has an eye wound several days old. It was so bad that there is no tissue around her eyeball which is rolling in her socket. We mounted a rescue the next day. The distressed pooch was brought over to the mainland for treatment. The vet examined her eyes and informed us that there is nothing he can do. Maggots have eaten right into her skull and she needs to be put down to end her suffering.
By a twist of fate, Mohan who is a seasoned animal rescuer decided to nurse her back to health despite the near impossible odds.
GI Jane is now with PetVilla, a no-kill shelter. She looked none the worse after her near tragic experience.

This is April. She was dusted with Negasunt powder after being bitten by a monkey. Sadly she passed away a few months later.
Not a pretty sight. Negasunt stopped the wound from growing and the dog was saved.
This is King Tut being carried by Mohan.
