Over 100 ''Quake Dogs'' Get Medical Aid in China

An injured dog scoots around an animal shelter outside the city of Chengdu in China's Sichuan Province on June 26 2008, with the aid of a walker cobbled together with PVC pipes.

The dog is one of about a hundred rescued and rehabilitated in the wake of the May 12 earthquake that killed nearly 70,000 people. Thousands of other dogs weren't so lucky. They were culled in a government program meant to prevent disease from spreading in the quake's aftermath.

A worker at an animal shelter near Chengdu, China, assembles a wheelchair on July 12, 2008 for a dog injured in the May 12 earthquake.

The shelter is run by Chen Yunlian, a 60-year-old retired cosmetics distributor. She cares for more than 900 dogs and 100 cats, including about 100 dogs she adopted following the devastating quake.

"I started down a road," she told the Associated Press, "and I couldn't turn around."

Iditarod training? Not quite. The man in the June 29 photo above works with five "quake dogs" outfitted with makeshift wheelchairs at an animal shelter near Chengdu, China. While pet ownership has risen in China, dog meat is still eaten in some regions.

"Olympics approved" restaurants, however, won't serve dog. "Dog meat sales are being suspended as a mark of respect for foreigners and people from ethnic groups," an official told the Beijing Daily newspaper on July 11.

Pets are banned from many of the tent camps where millions of refugees have taken temporary shelter.

"As a result, some displaced people have been keeping the pets in their damaged homes, which is a safety risk to both the owner and pet," Jill Robinson, founder of the animal-welfare group Animals Asia, told the China Post on June 9.

More than a hundred dogs were rescued following the May 12 earthquake. Most are mutts: terrier-Pekingese-pug-poodle mixes with squat bodies, short legs, curly tails, and pointy ears.

"Chinese people prefer purebred dogs, and the mixes probably won't be adopted," Chen Yunlian, who runs the shelter, told the Associated Press on June 27. "But mutts are the most intelligent and affectionate."

Paramilitary officers remove the bodies of dead dogs from the devastated town of Yingxiu, China, on May 22.

Thousands of dogs were killed in the aftermath of the May 12 earthquake out of fears they would fight with humans for food and spread disease.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare entered an agreement with officials in nearby Zun Dao township to prevent a similar slaughter. Instead of culls, dogs there were given rabies vaccinations and given veterinary aid.

‘Elephant Legs’ Woman

A 23-year-old girl in Xuzhou, a city of east China's Jiangsu Province, has developed surprisingly thick legs since she was seven. Her right leg first rounded out for no particular reason and the other leg followed two years later. Now, her left leg is 0.7 meters round. A dozen Chinese urban hospitals have failed to figure out what happened.

HELPING HAND: Wang Cheng received donations from Buddhist group Fo Kuang Shan for travel expenses and will receive free surgery at a Taipei hospital.

A young Chinese woman with a rare condition that has caused her legs to deform and triple in size is dreaming of a normal life after coming to Taiwan for surgery.

Wang Cheng, 24, cannot work or even wear pants because of the painful elephantiasis that has dogged her since the age of six and left her with legs weighing 50kg.

“I cannot go out to work,” Wang said as she slowly raised herself into a sitting position in her bed at Taipei’s Wanfang Hospital. “Nor can I wear pants like normal people.”

Her suffering may come to an end after free surgery by a Taiwanese specialist, who will alleviate the swelling by cutting away some of the lymphatic tissue in her legs.

Senior physician Hsu Wen-hsien, who will lead the operation on Monday, said he has never seen such an extreme case in his more than 30 years of experience.

“In the past cases, none of the patients have had two legs swelling to this size,” Hsu said.

Hsu, who has carried out 40 similar operations, 37 successfully, believes he can reduce the size of Wang’s legs by 35 percent immediately and 50 percent after rehabilitation work.

“It’s very likely the disease started when her veins were obstructed, and blood flowed to the lymphatic vessels, thus leading to swelling in the legs,” he said.

Wang traveled from Jiangsu Province for the operation thanks to Buddhist group Fo Kuang Shan, which learned of her plight through a newspaper report.

Her condition had baffled Chinese doctors at major hospitals in Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing and Zhengzhou, who were unable to help Wang.

“They said checkups showed her body was in normal condition,” said Wang’s mother, Cheng Yuxia, who accompanied her to Taiwan.

For Wang, elephantiasis has been a slowly developing condition that has gradually taken over her life.

“First it was my left leg, and then my right leg also got the same problem two years later,” she said. “Time and again I have been suffering fevers and muscular pains.”

Fo Kuang Shan is paying all travel and non-medical expenses, while the 10-hour operation and related care — estimated at US$16,500 — is being provided free by the hospital.
