The carcasses have been sent for post-mortem

The Kumaran Nagar police had a different complaint to handle on Sunday: a real estate businessman raised suspicion over the death of his two pet dogs after they were taken for treatment to the Saidapet Veterinary Hospital on Saturday.

G.J. Moses, 40, a real estate businessman living in Paneer Selvam Nagar, West Mambalam, had a Pomeranian named Paapu, 8.

“The Pomeranian gave birth to a cross breed a few years ago. We named it Bujji,” Mr. Moses told The Hindu.

On Saturday around 11.30 a.m., Bujji developed fever.

Mr. Moses rushed her to the Saidapet Veterinary Hospital.

The doctors there administered an injection and she was brought home.

“On Saturday evening, Paapu also fell ill. We took her to the same hospital and she was given antibiotics. However, she died the same night,” said Mr. Moses.

In the early hours of Sunday, Bujji also died.

“The dogs were very active. I have suspicion over their death. I have handed over the carcasses for post-mortem to the Madras Veterinary College Hospital in Vepery” he said. Further investigation is on.
