Upon bringing Deepak to their clinic, the vet conducted a thorough examination. He provided a frank assessment of the situation. Understanding the challenges but driven by compassion, he proposed attempting to save Deepak despite the dire circumstances. Deepak had suffered crush injuries to three of his limbs, necessitating amputations.

Similar to his fellow dogs, Deepak participates in hydrotherapy sessions in the pool. This environment allows him to strengthen his body without overburdening his still-healing areas. Among his favorite activities in the water are searching for his beloved ball and working out his muscles, making the pool an essential part of his rehabilitation.
