Many of you followed Sawaga-Dalwanganโs journeyโfrom the day she was rescued, through her treatment and rehabilitation, until her sudden death.
We now have the results of the examination of tissue samples taken from her liver, heart, and spleen. These results help us better understand what happened to her.
The examination found signs of a serious bacterial infection that had spread through her body. Bacteria were seen in her liver, and there was inflammation and damage in several organs, including her liver and heart.
Together with the findings from her medical examination and necropsy, the results show that a ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐๐ก ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฌ๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ข๐ค๐จ๐ฉ ๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐๐ช๐จ๐ ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ (๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐/๐จ๐๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐).
The changes seen in her tissues suggest that the infection may have been developing over a subacute to chronic period, potentially beginning weeks before her death.
When Sawaga-Dalwangan was rescued on July 3, she was already in a compromised condition. She was dehydrated, lethargic, and heavily soiled, and had external wounds, maggot infestation, and injuries associated with airgun pellets. These conditions may have increased her susceptibility to secondary bacterial infection.
During treatment, Sawaga-Dalwangan showed encouraging signs of recovery. Her wounds began to heal, she became better hydrated, her appetite improved, and she showed normal behaviors again.
However, the later examination showed that a serious infection was still present in her body.
On July 18, she suddenly developed generalized seizures. Despite immediate emergency care, she died shortly afterward.
We are sharing these findings because Sawaga-Dalwanganโs story deserves an ending based on scientific evidence, and because everyone who followed her journey and hoped for her recovery deserves to understand what happened.
