Industrialist and philanthropist Ratan Tata took to social media to urge Mumbaikars for help. Tata's Instagram post pertained to a seven-month-old dog at his Small Animal Hospital, who is severely anaemic.
In a post on Instagram, Tata emphasised the urgency of the situation. He wrote, "I would really really appreciate your help. This 7-month dog at our animal hospital needs an urgent blood transfusion. He is admitted for a suspected tick fever and life-threatening anaemia. We urgently need a dog blood donor in Mumbai.
Dog Donor Eligibility Criteria
Clinically healthy and between 1 to 8 years of age
Weighing about 25 kg or above
Completely vaccinated and dewormed
Free from any recent major illness
Free from ticks and fleas and any no history of tick fever in atleast last 6 months
Please call +91 70218 50400 only with responses to this query."
Ratan Tata also shared the post on his stories with the caption, "Mumbai, I need your help."
The post generated several responses online, with many Mumbaikars expressing concern and a willingness to assist. While the exact blood type the puppy requires remains unknown, social media users flooded the comments section seeking information and sending references.
Many social media comments even praised Tata for his compassion towards dogs.
Tata is a vocal advocate for animal welfare and has supported numerous animal shelters and rescue organisations throughout his career. His latest plea highlights his personal commitment to animal welfare, extending beyond financial support to hands-on efforts to save a life.
Ratan Tata's Small Animal Hospital
Constructed at a cost of Rs165 crore, Tata's Small Animal Hospital can accommodate up to 200 patients. As per the initial plan, the hospital was to be constructed in Navi Mumbai, but Ratan Tata redirected the project to a more central location to avoid long commutes for pet owners. He believed the distance could have dissuaded pet parents, especially in cases of emergencies.
The hospital in Mumbai works with specialists from multiple fields to diagnose and treat complex cases through the use of cutting-edge technology.
