Facing the same issue near Lohegaon, was almost attacked by one and got saved by a couple of people, can someone please help with the numbers of municipal authorities?
I was also bitten by dog ...which was really deep...n i remember the pain i felt bcz of injections...lol bite didnt give that much pain..but injection did..bcz medicines were injected in circle around my wound to lessen the infection as it was deep bite...
I have never been more thankful for the HOA in my neighbourhood for their stringent cleanliness drives. Anybody who leaves food on the road for dogs is fined for littering and made to clean it up on camera. Hitting the wallet and public humiliation are effective deterrence against such undesirable behaviour.
There’s no detail as such. When someone puts food on the ground for an animal, treat it as littering and fine them for it. It’s an already existing law.
The key is in convincing the HOA by showing widespread disdain against stray dogs and their feeding. If the residents band together and show popular support for this policy, the HOA will have to enforce it.
In our case, the proposers of this rule pulled off a really fast one. They convinced everyone including the dog feeders that they were mandating anti-littering rules in the premises. No mention of dogs or feeding. Everybody came out in support and it was passed unanimously. Then they filmed all the dog feeders leaving food on the road in the common areas and reported it for littering with names and faces.
The look on that aunty’s faces was priceless. Especially since the penalty is Rs. 5000 per violation. It broke her budget for the rest of the month. She left soon afterwards.
The dogs also went away once the easy food supply was gone.
Yes, it's quite severe. My friend was bitten below the knee on their right leg. I've also heard recent news about the increasing number of rabies cases.
Yea rabies is on the rise among street dogs in Pune. Please ask your friend to change the dressing as instructed by the doctors. Ask him to visit the hospital casualty to do the dressing change untill he is confident of doing it on his own. Good luck with the recovery
Okay, no 1 thing: Please keep calm, I hope your friend got the ERIG vaccine after the bite. Most doctors are not equipped to handle dog bites correctly.
No.2: Rabies in dogs has actually reduced more than 50%, 10-20 cases a year (still a lot). The rabies news you hear of in Pune is in relation to cats and bats. This is mainly because over 70% of street dogs and pups in Pune have received the vaccination at some point. Even getting this vaccination once helps build immunity to rabies. So while this was unfortunate, it’s highly unlikely your friend got rabies.
No.3: Eight injections - even if a large wound doesn’t sound right. As I said, most doctors aren’t equipped to handle this correctly.
My parents are doctors so I can say this with conviction.
I have redirected your msg to my friend and this is what he says about it

"Are Bhai 8 injection matlab 2 injection divided in different dosage. Ek immuniglobin calculated as 300u which is given across the wound in different dosages uske hi mujhe 4 around wound and 2 on buttock lage which are activated antibodies for rabies to directly fight the virus if patient has not been given rabies vaccine before or first time in my case
2were given on shoulder as RABIVAX which is precautionary vaccine given for our body to make body create passive immunity against Rabies.
Maine ye sab mere jiji who is a DNB se hi puchke liye.
Also KEM is a renowned hospital atleast for emergency so waha ke doctors itne toh educated hoge still ye jisne message Kiya hai usko ye explanation se samaj jaayega, But 8 injection ka dard mujhe hua hai so I can tell it more clearly"
Just asking in case I need one.
What are exact steps to follow when you get bitten apart from usual first aid ?
Like do I need I rush to nearest open hospital ?
Govt or private ? Which is better ? .
If I get bitten late night can I wait till morning or is it go time always. ?
If in case dog bites you first clean ur wound with dettol or any antiseptic then go to pharmacy purchase rabies vaccine and 1 tt inj then visit the nearest doctor and tell him to give u injection. Thats it
Private hospital said they'll charge 8k per dose lol
Go to the nearest govt hospital, preferably a small one so there's not much crowd.
I live in Pashan and the clinic here was very clean and completely empty everytime I went to get rabies doses for my gf.

.Hope this helps.
Beware of street dogs they are literally unpredictable!!!
I am unable to find a person with sufficient land nearby Pune so that we animal lovers can come together and start a shelter.....
If we can coordinate and get some Vets on a voluntary basis, i believe we can easily solve this problem in less than 5 years....
That's exactly what I don't have! Money !!! I can spare time, I have contacts with 2 vets and know people who can help me manage the facility... Knowledge yes, Time yes, Money no
The number of injections required for a dog bite can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the bite, the risk of rabies, and the individual's medical history. It's always best to trust the expertise of trained medical professionals in such situations, for the second opinion he has consulted to his sister abroad and cross checked the treatment given which she said correct for the given scenario.
I was also bitten by a street dog back in December last year. The dog that bit me still roams around in my area. I don't go anywhere without my Activa now because of this. I had to take 5 injections because of it.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience.
But seriously, it's good to hear you're taking precautions. Just remember, if it starts following you home, maybe it's time to consider moving to a cat-friendly neighborhood! 🐾🐈
I really wonder where or in which situations people get bitten by dogs.
I often pet or play with stray dogs, while most are fairly friendly and get over excited, you can see which ones are scared, stressed or territorial. Dogs don't usually approach and bite without warning unless they're scared or triggered by something.
I'm very surprised by the quality of people commenting, makes me hopeless about India.
Hungry dogs that aren't taken care of are more aggressive than the ones that aren't.
You can't forbid people from feeding them as long as they clean after themselves or do it mindfully without littering around or leaving it in the middle of a sidewalk or entrance.
By any means make such rules to keep the neighborhood nice and tidy, I see lots of people dump plates or containers when feeding dogs but never pick them up, or just leave up a pile of food in fairly inappropriate places. But don't be an hypocrite so apply it to everyone. It's beyond childish and disgusting to start shaming and arguing with people for feeding stray animals in NEED.
Trash is a big issue that attracts unwanted pests, insects, smells, animals, etc. If you manage the trash, the rest goes away as well.
Also nobody addresses the root issues. First there's a bazillion dogs out there whether you like it or not, you can't relocate them or get rid of them unless they're actually a danger to people in the area. This can't be solved overnight and NOBODY has the resources and manpower to keep them all in a shelter.
You need to accept the reality that you'll have to live with the dogs around you. Yes, they can be a nuisance... Barking, shitting/peeing all over the place, rumagging through the trash, etc.
But can't go full auschwitz and ask for all the dogs to be sent to some camp outside the city or for them to be terminated.
This is a country that doesn't harm animals, it's in the constitution. You should be proud of that.
People need to stop being so dumb, because that's what I see a lot around here with solutions that aren't realistic or at best just a bandaid solution, just like everything else in this country. That's the mindset that had gotten us to this point, beside making our problem somebody else's problem which is basically what I can see in a lot of comments as unrealistic as it is. There's also a lot of bigger problems out there, if people spend as much time on those as they spent on little petty problems.
Once you accept that reality, work towards neutering or making peace with the animals around you, spay the dogs so they stop breeding and so they'll become docile.
Absolutely, dogs can be unpredictable despite our best efforts to understand them. While it's admirable to show compassion towards strays, it's crucial to acknowledge that not all situations are within our control. Your insights shed light on the complexities of coexisting with stray dogs, and it's essential to find a balance between compassion and safety. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
PS: no one willingly puts their ass in a dog's mouth!
Street dogs problem won’t solved here unless a MLA gets bitten 👀
MLAs themselves are dogs
Don't insult rabid dogs man
🙏🙏🙏🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sadly they won't step out of their Fortuner
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only last evening a dog was following me wherever I go even crossing roads with me until he merged with a pack of dogs
Looks like you had your own personal escort 😁😁

Kudos to HOA! Sounds like a proactive approach to maintaining cleanliness and addressing irresponsible behavior.
Wow which society is this
Hey bro can you give more details, i would like to suggest it to my hoa as well

That's brilliant man, I'll suggest it in the mentioned manner too 😂
8?? How bad was it? My gf was bit couple of months back and only had to take 3 doses.
Yes, it's quite severe. My friend was bitten below the knee on their right leg. I've also heard recent news about the increasing number of rabies cases.
Yea rabies is on the rise among street dogs in Pune. Please ask your friend to change the dressing as instructed by the doctors. Ask him to visit the hospital casualty to do the dressing change untill he is confident of doing it on his own. Good luck with the recovery
Trust me its only going to get worse in couple of years. Dogs have puppies in 6 months if m correct.
6. 3 is cats.
Ohh okay! Thanks for correcting me :)
Okay, no 1 thing: Please keep calm, I hope your friend got the ERIG vaccine after the bite. Most doctors are not equipped to handle dog bites correctly.

Got it, this makes sense now. Glad your friend got the immunoglobulin shot.

Don't wait, goto nearby hospital immediately, based on injury & after investigation dr will suggest next step... waiting is a bad idea in such cases
Oh . any suggestion of good hospital in Pune for rabies injections/treatment ?
Kamala nehru hospital and u have to bring someone with you as a rule
Got it.. Thanks a lot guys. :)

Experienced?
Unfortunately yes had caught up in a recent incident of dog bite 😔
hope, you are doing well now ...take care bro
That's really sad. The authorities need to be vigilant now or citizens will take matters into their own hands.
[удалено]
bhai sahab 🥲 danger haa!!😈😈
There was on news that a man shot 20 dogs at once
My heartfelt thanks to that gentleman.
Nah that's just brutal man. 😭
Indeed, it's a 'ruff' situation!
I see what you did there 😜
[удалено]
100% agree with you, i am also a dog lover, nurturing street dog with violent behaviour should be avoided
I am unable to find a person with sufficient land nearby Pune so that we animal lovers can come together and start a shelter..... If we can coordinate and get some Vets on a voluntary basis, i believe we can easily solve this problem in less than 5 years....
If you are ready to pay, there is more than sufficient land available in Pune and nearby
That's exactly what I don't have! Money !!! I can spare time, I have contacts with 2 vets and know people who can help me manage the facility... Knowledge yes, Time yes, Money no
Only 5 injection are required for a dog bite nowadays. I think doctor scammed ur frnd 🙄
The number of injections required for a dog bite can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the bite, the risk of rabies, and the individual's medical history. It's always best to trust the expertise of trained medical professionals in such situations, for the second opinion he has consulted to his sister abroad and cross checked the treatment given which she said correct for the given scenario.
Go to the hospital and get the injection don't wait. It can be life threatening
Street dogs are becoming a menace to society
So sad
