<p> Jyothi S P (23), the Jnanajyoti Nagar resident who was attacked by a dog last week has been told by doctors to consider plastic surgery. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Jyothi and her husband Avinash Yadav K B, who were confused about where to obtain medical treatment for the bites, had visited a private hospital which had not administered her with anti-rabies serum. By Sunday, however, Jyothi had managed to obtain proper treatment.<br /><br />Speaking to Deccan Herald, Avinash said that his wife had been given anti-rabies injections at the Banashankari Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) hospital, a week after the attack. <br /><br />“We have spent nearly Rs 40,000 for my wife’s treatment till now. Since the injuries on her face are severe, she has to undergo a plastic surgery, which is an expensive affair. We will be sending a letter to the officials concerned and request them to bear the expenses of the surgery as we have already spent too much. Jyothi may undergo surgery at the same private hospital,” he added. <br /> <br />Bizarre incident<br /><br />Describing Jyothi’s case as completely bizarre, Dr Parviz Ahmad Piran, the joint director of the BBMP’s animal husbandry department, said that they were not able to locate the dog responsible for the attack.<br /><br /> “It is quite possible that dog may have been rabid, because the way it has attacked the woman is quite unnatural. However, we are still on the lookout for the animal,” he added. On the question of the dog which attacked five year-old Razia Sultana, Dr Piran said that they have trapped the animal and that it is under observation. <br /><br />He revealed that the animal may be rabid as it has uncontrolled limbs — a trait symptomatic of the disease. <br /><br />“However, if the dog dies, we will be able to establish the disease after collecting the sample from the brain,” he explained.<br /><br />He added that both the cases were very contradictory. Jyothi’s neighbourhood has many sources of garbage, whereas the place where Razia was attacked was relatively clean.<br /><br />Dr Piran said that they receive close to 1,500 cases of dog bites in a month, which includes pet dog bites. The attack on Jyothi is the third serious case of dog attack, since April 2012. <br /><br />Sharing details about Animal Birth Control (ABC) and Anti-rabies Vaccination (ARV) drives, Piran explained that they have conducted the ABC programme on 40,209 stray dogs and 72,432 ARV programmes from April to October this year.<br /></p>
