N anjima’s story is full of challenges, not just the usual ones all street animals face. Rescued while suffering from a deadly form of cancer known as a Transmissible Venereal Tumor (or TVT), this proud but struggling pooch underwent chemotherapy, which thankfully, worked. Shortly after, however, she contracted tick fever, and subsequent blood tests revealed that she was also battling chronic kidney disease (CKD).
As any good veterinary team would, we immediately began treating her condition, but the aggressive nature of the treatments took a genuine toll on her. Stressed and in a great deal of discomfort, we stopped the intense treatments and shifted our focus to providing her with a special diet, and a loving, stress-free environment.
Today, Nanjima is enjoying a quieter, safer, and more loving life under our care, in which she can sunbathe, eat at her leisure, and receive all the treatment she needs, should her condition worsen.
We continued to maintain Nanjima with supplements and small quantities of home food that she loved munching on. Despite the deteriorating health, she remained alert and content till her last day on April 14th 2025. We are grateful to have given her a safe space where she could be herself. May her soul rest in peace!
