Dog Rescued With Maggot-Infested Ears
18th Dec 2019, by SPCA Singapore
DOG RESCUED WITH MAGGOT-INFESTED EARS
In August 2018, Harvey was rescued with severe, maggot-infested ears. Our veterinary team worked hard over 6 months to treat him. As his ear infection persisted despite valiant efforts, we decided to send samples from his ear to an overseas laboratory and discovered he had a multidrug-resistant bacteria in both ears. One of his ears had to be amputated.
With Amber Compounding Pharmacy, we customised medications for him and after a year of treatment at SPCA...

If good boys and girls deserve presents from Santa, we’re sure our animals deserve all the love in this world. But in reality, some pets are abandoned during ‘spring cleaning’ seasons, possibly due to impulse purchases.
This Christmas, help over 200 needy animals a month by funding their clinic and shelter supplies.
SPCA’s Community Animal Clinic requires ~$600,000 per year to operate and our team sees over 20 animals daily. We are not government-funded and re...

Hdbs Cat Ban. The Spca Shared Its Views In The Str..
12th Dec 2019, by SPCA Singapore
HDB’s CAT BAN
The SPCA shared its views in The Straits Times, explaining why this rule needs to be repealed. Cats have been banned in HDBs since the first flats were built.
There are already many responsible pet owners keeping cats in HDB flats without causing nuisance to their neighbours. We feel that lifting the ban, setting rules on responsible cat ownership, and implementing a microchipping & registration scheme, will improve cat management and welfare in Singapore.
If we ban cats and ...

Say No To Live Crab Claw Machine. A Recent Post By..
23rd Oct 2019, by SPCA Singapore
SAY NO TO LIVE CRAB CLAW MACHINE
A recent post by a local restaurant has been brought to our attention. In their claw machine, inanimate objects are replaced with live crabs for customers to lift and drop to ‘catch’ the crab(s) they want.
The game causes unnecessary harm to the animals and it also encourages people to see animals as nothing more than objects to play with and goes against our vision of a kinder society.
Crabs are living creatures, not toys. SPCA advises members of the pu...

Spca Needs Your Help. There Are Many Community Dog..
17th Oct 2019, by SPCA Singapore
SPCA NEEDS YOUR HELP
There are many community dogs, sometimes referred to as street animals or strays, in Singapore. However, there is limited space in local animal shelters.
Without a street dog population control programme, many dogs will struggle to survive without proper food, healthcare and shelter.
Hence, the Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) is working with the SPCA and other animal welfare groups on an islandwide Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage (TNRM) programme.
We aim to sterilise the s...

PET ADVISORY DURING HAZE SEASON
While we aim to protect ourselves from the haze, don’t forget our animal friends’ well-being!
Most of us would grab our N95 masks during this season, but please don’t make your pet wear one too. Our vets advise against doing so because obscuring their mouths with masks might prevent heat from being dispelled and cause a heat stroke.
When the PSI is above 200, keep your pets indoors if possible and avoid taking your dog for extended walks or vigorous exer...
