An Extended “staring Game”
19th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
Just as I was rejoicing over Vincent’s weight gain, we seem to have a setback again now.
Vincent didn’t want to eat this morning, so that was okay. Maybe it was too early and he wasn’t hungry yet.
At 7.15am, he came into the kitchen asking for food. I offered, but nothing was right, so after a few minutes, he went out.
Then, at 9.50am, he came into the kitchen to ask for food again.
And the nightmare begins…
Patiently, offered him one type after another…semua tak...

Thanks To Hydration (Vincent’s Stories)
19th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
I thought of writing “Vincent’s progress” as the subject for this post, but I still don’t dare…
It is too early to call it “progress”, even though Vincent’s vet is very happy with today’s weight gain news. He calls it “very, very good progress”. Yay!
He also explained this: “But a better indication of health is just to see his overall body condition. Remember the body is like a sponge. As you do the fluids, cells in t...

Vincent Tips The Scales At….
19th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
We weighed Vincent this morning….
Drrrrummmmroll……&h ellip;….
Take a guess, folks.
3 kg!!!!
THREE kilograms!!!!
Yes, THREE!!
Husband + Vincent = 71.0 kg. Husband alone = 68.0 kg. 71 – 68 = 3. Pinch me and check with a calculator to be doubly sure….yes, 71 – 68 is 3!!
Last meal was at 10pm. No subcut yesterday. Subcut due today. He hasn’t eaten breakfast for this morning, so the weight was taken on a relatively empty stomach...

Vincent’s Supper Call
18th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
Just when I was going to cut off supper for today, Vincent made the supper call.
HOW can you say “no” to Vincent, right?
Indy had been making a racket about wanting supper all night, but I told him “no”.
Nobody else wanted food. Even Bunny was already fast asleep. But when one cat eats, everybody would not want to be left out.
Here’s your raw food, Vincent. Is it ok?
Oh dear…it’s the staring game.
Either he has no appetite again or the food...

Dinner With Coco&Joe’s
18th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
Our cats eat four times a day.
Previously breakfast and lunch consist of wetfood (raw, home-cooked and canned). Dinner and supper are just snacks so it’s usually very small amounts of kibble. I have tried giving more at dinner so that we could skip supper, but the cats won’t finish a larger amount. Guess they just want to snack!
The reasons why they have four meals a day (I would definitely prefer only two main meals) are (1) many of them cannot eat large amounts (breakfast and lunch...

IAPWA’s Breakthrough In Penang And What We Can Do
18th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
I’m sorry this is very, very late news. I only heard about it yesterday and it took sometime to get the links below.
I’m sure none of us can ever forget the tragedy that happened in Penang in Sept-Oct 2015 where thousands of innocent dogs (and also cats) were mercilessly culled all because of the order from a certain politician despite offers of compassionate help from WVS’ Dr Luke Gamble.
Who could forget? https://myanimalcare.org/2015/09/29/w vs-offers-rabies-vacci...

Mercola’s Complete Probiotics And Lunchtime
18th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
I ordered Mercola’s Complete Probiotics on Friday (14th Sept) and it arrived today!!
A bit of background about it first.
It is highly recommended by Dr Karen Becker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ4RI W1rDM0.
I also have used it before for Tiger previously (bought from Asia Paws when Tiger went for acupuncture). It was also recommended by Dr Susanna Santhiram. I gave it to Tiger and also the rest of the cats by adding it into their food.
My friend, PF, shared that she uses it for h...

“Zurik Games”
18th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
Thank goodness it isn’t “Hunger Games”.
Just ‘Zurik Games”.
With the mosquito netting up (stainless steel), Zurik has not been able to achieve any break-in so far.
Looks like he hasn’t discovered how to open the netting from the outside of the window.
But, he still wants to play his game.
So, I think it was two days ago that he went up onto the roof again and mewed at the window.
Let me in, let me in….
No, Zurik.
We decided to not give in this time. He ...

Morning Has Broken (3 Pilling Sessions) And About The Biosilver
18th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
I’ll say we are off to a pretty good start as far as pilling is concerned.
Pole ate well today too!
I gave her Monge and Cubgrub to see which she’d like. Of course I was hoping she would eat Cubgrub again. Once any of our cats eat Cubgrub, my worries are over regarding balancing their diet. Cubgrub is nutritionally balanced and made with the highest hygiene standards.
Pole ate both! She finished all and asked for more too! For the last few days, she had been refusing Cubgrub and I w...

Vincent’s A++ Dinner And More About The Subcut
17th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
I’m now convinced that Vincent “listens” to his vet!
The vet talked at length about the importance of balancing Vincent’s raw diet today. I too was determined to make it more balanced by including organs.
Look at Vincent’s dinner just now:

I may not have captured those special moments, so please let me describe them here.

Pole And Ginger
17th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
We came home from the clinic and Pole wanted food. So I gave her a selection of Monge and Cubgrub (these are the only brands she would eat, along with her Monge kibble). But kibble should not be eaten now. She had just come back from having tartar scratched out from her teeth and she still has gingivitis.
But, Pole refused to eat the Cubgrub or Monge (wetfood).
So, I let her be.
And she started making a racket.
Mewing non-stop, pacing to and fro.
After a long time of mewing, I decided to just le...

A More “balanced” Diet For Vincent And More About His Subcuts
17th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
I forgot to mention to very important things I learnt at the vet’s today.
The first is regarding Vincent’s diet. As you know, we were so desperate to just get him to eat initially, so we adopted the principle of letting him eat whatever he wants as long as he is willing to eat it. We have various food options in the house, but Vincent wanted only raw meat. So, raw meat, it is.
I would have much preferred that he ate Cubgrub, but somehow, he didn’t want it anymore. Prior to gett...

Vincent’s Evaluation
17th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
The vet wanted to see Vincent as well, so we took both Ginger and Vincent to the clinic.
I had been keeping the vet informed about Vincent’s condition throughout the weekend.
After examining Vincent today, the vet thinks that the “weight gain” was probably due to hydration (because of the subcut and the food he is eating). So, maybe it’s not really “weight gain” at all.
However, what we can rejoice over is that the weight has not gone down. Yes, I did sus...

Ginger’s Wound Is Still Infected
17th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
Luckily the vet insisted on seeing Ginger again today.
If he had left it to us, we wouldn’t have brought Ginger back because (in our untrained mind and eye), we really thought Ginger’s wound was healing very well.
But the vet said he would like to see Ginger again.
However, Ginger had other plans.
As though he knew, he escaped from the front door (our little guy doesn’t learn that he is at risk being outside in the porch with the terrorist-Zurik) and sat under the car.
When we ...

Great News!! Pole Does NOT Need Tooth Extraction!
17th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
The first stop today is at the vet’s with Pole.
Today, we got to see the senior vet at the clinic. I explained what had happened in the past week (appetite gradually going off), the pawing of the mouth, the grinding of the teeth and also that the vet on Saturday said Pole had a tooth that needed to be extracted (rotted to the root), but needs to be on medication (steroids, antibiotics, anti-gastric) for 2 weeks before the procedure can be done (preceded by a blood test).
The vet took a loo...

Vincent’s Subcut
17th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
Since Vincent still has no appetite this morning, a subcut was definitely due. We gave him his medicines first (a bit of a struggle there). Then, proceeded with the subcut.
Needle in.
He was very well behaved…until we reached about 80ml. Then, the resistance started.
We tried to push it to 150ml, but the resistance became a struggle and we needed to hold him down. Then, he got violent, so we let him go. But we managed about 130ml so that’s better than nothing.
Hopefully, he will ...
