The operation was successful, but the total cost — including medication and surgery — amounted to 6,000 baht (approximately S$235).

With no one coming forward to cover the expenses, the vet is keeping the dog at the clinic for further care.

The identity of the person responsible for shooting the dart remains unknown.
