Srinagar: It’s as usual a busy day. Many people are waiting for their appointment inside the Srinagar’s Central veterinary hospital. Dr. Qazi Mudasir is treating a pet. The doctor, some of them say, is the reason they bring their pets to this hospital.

Apart from his excellence in care towards pets and stray animals, Dr Mudasir performs extensive surgeries too. There have been many instances when he had performed impracticable surgeries which have been successful, some of the attendants recalled.

“I remember when our cow didn’t urinate from 10 days and we called Dr. Mudasir for help. He performed a surgery and about 300 litres of fluid was taken out and the cow’s bladder was ruptured and after surgical intervention she survived,” a cow-owner from Habbak said.

On completion of his studies, he went for P.S.C examinations. In 2009, he was posted at Jammu as veterinary assistant surgeon.  Then he started performing his duties at Bandipora and finally in Srinagar’s central veterinary hospital.

Mudasir’s father retired as Principal government Degree College in 2006 and his mother retired as an educationist. His sister is a micro biologist and Mudasir is performing his duties at Central Veterinary hospital Srinagar.

Medicos are no more or no less moral than the general trend in the society. Yet the advice is rendered at the drop of the hat to the medicos in a sea of practices that could hardly be called moral. Despite all these odds, Mudasir attends the hospital even in off working hours and if some emergency occurs, he remains available.

“The medicos, the doctors don’t need to be doctored, day in and day out. They are doctors. Men of wisdom; the overwhelming majority knows well enough what they are supposed to do. They do their work with passion, commitment and for general welfare,” Political Science Asstt. Professor, Abdaal Bhat said.

The hospital performs more than 1000 surgeries per year with an average of 83 per month and Mudasir among the key doctor to lead in figures of successful surgeries.

“It is the Almighty’s grace that I have successfully performed numerous surgeries including cesarean sections, recto vaginal fistulas, atresia ani, hysterectomies, fracture managements, Intra Medullary pinning, Pin hole Castrations, Urethrotomy,Laparotomy  and other common surgeries including Rumenotomy, Hernias, Surgical correction for tumours and other complicated surgeries too,” Dr Mudasir said.

Mudasir added about the importance and love of pets or animals towards their owners calling the pets or animals as more realistic and pragmatic.

“Human society derives enormous benefits from animal kingdom in the form of food, professional avenues, companionship and mental well-being. Cats and especially dogs are not only faithful but are very true to their master. Dogs are companion to humans all over the world owing to their cooperative behavior and instinct for affinity with humans,” he pointed out.

Most of the people see inferiority complex among the doctors too. Being veterinary doctor brings solace than being an MBBS told Dr Mudasir.

“I am satisfied with my job. I feel pleasure in treating the animals as they cannot speak, cannot share their problems. One feels satisfied when such creature of Almighty gets well,” said Dr Mudasir.

While advising people do’s and dont’s he added, “It is better to consult a veterinarian before rearing the pet. They can discuss various aspects with the veterinarians before rearing the pet. I have seen lot of cases where the masters don’t know how to rare their pets or animals. Regular vaccinations and regular dewormings according to schedule are advised,” he said.

A well-known fact that valley has yet no privatization in veterinary and no private clinics or private saloons. One remains confined to government hospitals for treatment of their pets or animals. The available private clinics almost negligible in number are not well outfitted to even treat certain medical emergencies and other minor diseases. In such disparity, Mudasir’s will and passion for treating the pets or animals comes as a new ray of hope among the masters of pets or animals.

“I have a pet cat that had some dermatological issues. Dr Qazi treated my pet very well. He has no ego, attitude and we call him so many times and he never complained. My pet is recovering with grace of Almighty and with the help of Dr Mudasir,” said Dr Anjum Ara, who teaches Political Sciences at University of Kashmir.

Dr Mudasir’s work reminds many of those classical peoples who think of the animal’s welfare before anything else.

“He is like an angel. He twice saved the lives of my pet and other animals. A baby cow who was almost dying and there was no hope for her, but Dr Mudasir sat up with her during the month of Ramzan and he was fasting. He forgot everything and spent whole night looking after her, trying to revive her, tried all stuff and woke whole night and when he was contented, he didn’t left till then.

Dr Mudasir continues the follow-up of his cases and remembers everything. I haven’t seen anyone like Dr Mudasir,” Professor Neerja Mattoo, a noted educationist said.
