Raven Undergoes “training”
24th Oct 2012, by AnimalCare
Since Raven has mange, I have been advised to cage her instead of letting her roam around the house.
Step 1: Put cat in cage without closing door, let cat explore. Allow cat the freedom of walking in and out of cage so that cat does not develop negative vibes about cage.
She sniffed around, lost interest in the boring cage and came out to explore more interesting objects. I was hoping she would scratch on this sand and do her business, but she wasn’t interested.
I actually prefer to...

Toys For Raven
24th Oct 2012, by AnimalCare
After work today, I dropped by the petstore to get catfood and some toys for Raven. She is still a kitten and kittens need to play.
Raven’s new toys.
She approached cautiously…
These balls seem fun…
She didn’t know what the fishpad is for.
Yes, I like the ball.
But I prefer real things, like the strap of Mummy’s bag.
Or, I just sit here and watch the big cats…until they let me in. It looks more fun inside that room.
You want to com...

A Shiny Beige-Coloured Butterfly
24th Oct 2012, by AnimalCare
Dear Friends,
I think this is the most difficult pet-death I’ve ever had to deal with. Perhaps it is the manner in which Bosco passed on, the cause of death or that I went through a roller-coaster of frantically searching for ways to help him. From one vet to another, hoping and hoping. One day it was poisoning, the next it was parvovirus, and it was back to poisoning. He got better, we were so hopeful, then he went down, then back up again, and the final blow came. It had been a mad rolle...

Bosco Fought The Good Fight And Is Now At Rainbow Bridge
23rd Oct 2012, by AnimalCare
Dear Friends,
My brave little Bosco passed away at about 6.45pm this evening. He fought the good fight and I am extremely proud of him.
I wish to thank all of you for cheering him on throughout these past few days, for standing by us and giving us all your support and kind wishes.
In all my experience thus far, I have not seen any other cat who was as strong and brave as Bosco. He has taught me so much in these past few days about acceptance, endurance, strength and serenity.
Here is Bosco’...

The Morning Of Day 4 And Hopefully, Miracle No.2
23rd Oct 2012, by AnimalCare
I got up at 4.27am today. Unlike yesterday, I did not wake up with a bad feeling. I hope that is good.
My brood was waiting for me and never mind what time it is, when I come downstairs, it’s Breakfast Time to them and they cannot wait! At such times, knowing that those under your care have a good appetite is such a blessing, isn’t it? It means they are not sick. We must rejoice in such things and never take it for granted.
Today is Monge Breakfast Day, so they had a feast. Now, I...

The Vet Called…at 11.32pm
22nd Oct 2012, by AnimalCare
As I was hanging out my chloroxed laundry of cushion covers and today’s clothes, my phone rang. It was from the vet and it was 11.32pm.
The heart stopped. I’m sure of it. It really stopped.
My hands are trembling as I write this….
But hey……..Bosco is fine!!!!!
Yes, he (the senior vet) said Bosco if fine and “meowed a bit” when he called him this evening.
And as of now, the vet said Bosco is fine!!
Gosh, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry…I&...

Miracle No.1: Bosco Made It Through The Night, And It May Not Be The Little Toad’s Fault…
22nd Oct 2012, by AnimalCare
My apologies to everyone for this belated post. I know many of you are rooting for Bosco and I owe you all an earlier post, but I just got home, and it’s been an exceptionally long day.
In a nutshell, Bosco is hanging on, is able to sit up and meow, and the little toad may not be the culprit after all.
Here is the full story:
I drove down to PJ at 8.45am, and with the help of some directions on the phone, I was able to find the clinic. It was already 9.30am when I reached there.
As I enter...

Could This Be The Culprit?
22nd Oct 2012, by AnimalCare
Yesterday after coming home, I did suspect that the source of the poison could be from the toads in the garden. I have seen these toads come out after dark and a day before Bosco fell ill, I remember seeing a small one hopping in the porch. At that time, it did not strike me how toxic they could be.
Toad toxicity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVPnkKO6 ELY
This morning, I saw a tiny one again when I let Raven out to play in the garden.
You see that speck on the tiles?
That’s a ...

Before The Break Of Dawn…
22nd Oct 2012, by AnimalCare
I got up at 4am this morning with very mixed feelings. I was worried and anxious…did the miracle happen last night, is Bosco okay?
I know I will not get any answers until the clinic opens today and though my mind tells me I should not worry because worry is a negative emotion (which generates negative vibes), my heart couldn’t help it.
So I got up and went downstairs. Raven was sleeping on the TV rack. She seems to prefer sleeping on a wooden surface to the little basket we had made ...

Bosco Sits Up!!!

Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/10/21/bosco-in- very-critical-condition-suspected-poisoning/
My phone just rang 10 minutes ago. It was from the clinic. I took a deep breath, steeled my heart and answered the call.
It was from the vet and I think my heart stopped.
“Just to let you know that Bosco is sitting up. He has shown improvement!”
I jumped for joy!! I couldn’t believe my ears, and I quickly said a thank-you prayer.
Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone…for y...

Bosco In Very Critical Condition (suspected Poisoning)
21st Oct 2012, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/10/20/boscos-su dden-high-fever/
As I sit here writing this post, Bosco is fighting for his life at the clinic. I just got home.
To all my friends, I only ask that you join me in praying for Bosco to be strong, to be at peace and to be free from pain and suffering.
Although the clinic is closed today, the vet was kind enough to let me visit.
But he said Bosco looked very down.
He wasn’t interested in food at all, and had to be force-fed.
But the big...

Passing It On…(a Heart-Warming Story)
21st Oct 2012, by AnimalCare
I’d like to share a delightful email from Toh Han Shen (I think he should be 13 this year). Han Shen started writing to me after his aunt brought home one of my first books. From then on, he has been interested in helping animals and once, he and his school friends rescued a kitten at school.
Below is his email. Previously, I had requested a friend to drop mybooks at his house, but this time, I’ve checked – It wasn’t my friend who dropped the latest books in Han Shen̵...
