we participated in a free mass sterilization in chiang mai, sponsored by lanna dog rescue, and WHSPA. these two cats are out after surgery. their little tongues are sticking out, (this was an important precaution).


monika and emerson administer after care while the animals are still unconscious, which involves ear and wound and eye cleaning.


git in there!




and of course, the all important comforting. the animals are really out of it when they wake up and sometimes they'll start howling or running around... we monitored fluids also--emerson's guy is on an IV here. notice the cats and dogs are somewhat segregated.


and then there's the after after care. which is basically just cuddling.
