The other white pup

Today I went to take Raja for his bandage change. Being a Sunday, there was a long wait. So i thought i will bring him back tomorrow morning. It rained heavily on the way back. When the rain stopped, i took Raja back to where the other pups were. The other white one was looking at me very sheepishly. The mother was licking one foot.

When i touched her, she screamed. She would not let me touch her. I tried to roll her over. I could see no wound or hurt. She was shivering and afraid. Then after a while she rolled over straight, and crawled behind her mother. So she was able to walk.  I came out, there was one guard whom i asked. He said that if anything had happened, he would have known. Perhaps she has been bitten. Maybe her mother has bitten her. Or someone has beaten her.
The mother, the brown pup and Raja came out. I kept putting Raja back in but he would come out. Finally, i came away.

Is she just very cold, or feverish? Is she hurt, or bitten ? If the mother or other pup has bitten her, she would not by lying with them, would she ? I have no idea, Lord. I am lost. So much suffering in this world. There is still thunder, its evening, very windy and cold outside, so its not going to get warmer. Probably will rain further tonight.
