The stray that was found brutalised near Dahisar fish market is being treated by Borivli-based veterinarian Dr Vikram Dave

The brutalised stray found —with her toes chopped off and an eye busted open — near Dahisar fish market almost a fortnight ago is now stable, say doctors.

"She is eating regularly and recovering fast," said Dr Vikram Dave, a Borivli-based veterinarian, who is treating the bitch. "Her wounds have healed. We are waiting for her to be completely stable, only then can we go ahead with the amputation surgery of her limb."

Timely save
The bitch was first spotted in a battered condition by one Jaiprakash Masurkar, a resident of Patil Chawl in Dahisar west, who informed animal activist Christina Lobo about it. Under her guidance, Masurkar wrapped the animal in a sheet and took her to Dr. Dave's clinic in an autorickshaw (as there were no ambulances available at the time), where she was treated. Later, she was shifted to Thane SPCA to recover.
