28 Sep
Summary
- A stray dog died from a suspected botched animal birth control surgery.
- The dog showed signs of distress and injury post-surgery.
- A resident has requested action against municipal officials for alleged negligence.
A resident of Virudhunagar town has lodged a complaint alleging that a stray dog died on Sunday due to a poorly executed animal birth control (ABC) surgery. The deceased dog was reportedly known to the resident, who observed municipal workers capturing it for the procedure on the morning of September 20.
Witnesses reported the dog was handled roughly during its capture. The animal returned to the locality on the night of September 23, appearing weak with a swollen, bleeding back. It passed away on Sunday night, with the resident attributing its death to a faulty surgery and inadequate post-operative care.
She has urged for action against the concerned officials. In response, the Municipal Sanitary Officer stated that the identity of the dog and its involvement in the ABC surgery need verification. The municipality has been conducting surgeries since February at the Government Veterinary hospital and its ABC center, with 200 out of 365 identified dogs already treated.
