Raju the camel gets help for his digestive problems | SPANA

Raju the camel has spent years helping his owner, Ram-Kishan, to transport people and heavy goods. This helps to make just enough of an income to support Ram-Kishan’s wife and four children.

SPANA’s vets met Ram-Kishan and Raju when they visited Samod, in India’s north-western state of Rajasthan, to provide a clinic for working animals in rural areas. These mobile clinics have been a lifeline for camels like Raju and have provided vital care to the hardworking animals of this region for over 15 years.

Ram-Kishan loves his camel dearly and watches his health and wellbeing very carefully. Recently, Ram-Kishan had noticed that Raju was feeling weak and was occasionally rolling and hitting his stomach in discomfort.

The vets gently examined Raju and noticed he was suffering from itchy, uncomfortable mange. Raju was also suffering from bloat and abdominal cramps, most likely caused by internal parasites. Luckily, the treatment is a simple one, a combination of pain killers and dewormers which are also effective in treating mange.

The vets sent Ram-Kishan home with enough medication to cover the camel’s full treatment. To Ram-Kishan’s delight, Raju was back to his usual ‘sensitive and calm’ self within a week of seeing the SPANA team.
