The Star Rescue Network in India recently responded to an urgent call about a small puppy in distress. The young pup, named Rahi, was found alone on the streets with a large lump that prevented her from resting comfortably.

It was clear she needed immediate medical help.

Veterinarians discovered that Rahi had an inguinal hernia, a condition which required surgical treatment. Despite her tiny size, surgery was considered the best course of action.
