Despite having little hope of survival due to the severity of her injuries, a dog with a severed nose was rescued by individuals who were determined not to give up on her.
When rescuers found Namtan the puppy, she had suffered terrible abuse and was in desperate condition with very little chance of survival. The poor dog had suffered serious injuries to her nose which left her unable to eat and starving. Fortunately, Namtan’s luck changed for the better when a group of elephant rescuers stumbled upon her.
The Save Elephant Foundation in Thailand is an organization recognized for its outstanding support of elephants. However, they have also shown their kindness towards other animals. Recently, they came across Namtan, who was in urgent need of help. She was found on the street with her muzzle hanging from her face, which appeared to have been cut, possibly with a knife or machete. The foundation team could not ignore her suffering and decided to rescue her.
Namtan had difficulty eating and food shortages led her to resort to consuming her own waste. Her rescuers faced the challenge of finding a veterinarian willing to take on the complex procedure that could save her life. Several veterinarians expressed concern about the difficulty of the operation given the time that has passed since her accident. After an exhaustive search, they finally found a veterinarian who was willing to undertake the challenging task of saving Namtan’s life.
It is amazing to see Namtan alive and well after her surgery, thanks to the heroic efforts of the surgeon who saved her life. Seeing her awake again was a huge relief and she seems eager to get back into her normal routine. Her injury has healed beautifully and she now lives happily at The Elephant Park Sanctuary, where she receives loving care from her rescuers.
