A devastating earthquake on April 25th measuring 7.9 Richter scale hit our country badly. Where tens of thousands of people lost their lives, the condition of animal victims were even worst. Animal Nepal geared up to offer treatment, shelter, food and water to animals in desperate need. Countless injured animals received life-saving treatment at the wake of disaster. And among the rescued ones, 'Siddhi', who managed to leave a special print in our harts. 


Siddhi was special to us in many ways. When we met Siddhi few weeks after the earthquake she was limping along the road at Harisiddi. We found her front left leg completely broken with a terrible wound on her neck too. Her broken bone was sticking out of her wound and we could only imagine the level of pain she was enduring. While inquiring we got to know that Siddhi was pulled out from the rubble of a collapsed building 3 days after the earthquake. Sadly, no one informed us about her plight and we only found her 3 weeks later.

She was then taken to Chobar Animal Shelter. Even in such a pain she would greet anyone coming towards her. She was a total bundle of inspiration for us. Dr Sunil Thapa found that Siddhi's metacarpal bone was exposed and the radius and ulna fractured is various places. Shiddhi had to be amputated. He amputated her leg and treated the large wound on her neck, after which she quickly recovered.
