Help Sinto Learn to Trust and Heal

Sinto should never have had to experience this.

He was brought to Baw Baw Animal Welfare after an incredibly upsetting incident in which he was intentionally struck by a neighbor—an act that was reportedly captured on CCTV footage.

After something so frightening, the team’s first priority was making sure Sinto was safe and understanding the full extent of his injuries.

At first glance, he appeared to be doing relatively well. A few wounds were visible on the outside of his body, but with trauma like this, not every injury can be seen right away. His veterinary team quickly began a more thorough evaluation, including blood work, a distemper check, and an abdominal scan to look for any concerns that might be hiding beneath the surface.

For now, Sinto’s journey is a waiting game.

His veterinary surgeon has recommended that he remain under close observation for five days so the team can monitor his condition and respond quickly if any complications arise.

After everything Sinto has been through, Baw Baw Animal Welfare is determined to give him the care, safety, and compassion he deserves. But emergency examinations, testing, monitoring, and continued veterinary care come at a cost.
