Aloe Vera Injectables For Leukemic Cats
10th Aug 2012, by AnimalCare
Connie shared this:
This is an excerpt that I copy from http://zooveterinary.com/complementary-medic ine/felv-fiv-fip
“In an uncontrolled study of leukemic cats, acemannan from Aloe vera gel was given for 6 weeks intraperitoneally to clinically symptomatic cats. It significantly improved both quality of life and survival rate. It was noted that 12 weeks after initiation of treatment, 71% of the treated cats were alive and in good health. This trial included historical controls because...

Baggy’s Supper
10th Aug 2012, by AnimalCare
Given her condition, I would feed Baggy as much as she can eat, whenever she is willing to eat.
Since she rejected her AD dinner, I thought I would try a home-cooked supper.
I laid everything out and waited for her to show some interest.
When she did, I offered a little bit, but she didn’t want to eat on her own. So, I force-fed, but not forcibly, because she was willing to swallow the food and allowed me to open her mouth. This was so much better than the previous AD meals where she ki...

Baggy On Friday
10th Aug 2012, by AnimalCare
Baggy has been very “assertive” today, but I’m not sure if that’s good, because she only ate a tiny bit of AD this morning, and thereafter, she assertively refused food. I only managed to force-feed her a few mouthfuls after which she would kick off from me and run away.
She took her medicine (the Doxy and Prednisolone) but this evening, she spat out the Hi-Vite. I actually thought she liked it yesterday (the liquid that looks and smells like Marmite) but just now, she wa...

Medical Subsidy For 1 Female Cat, Dalilah (Baharum Hamzali’s)

We have subsidised RM159.65 for this case of a cat rescued by Baharum Hamzali. The total bill was RM319.30.
The appeal was made by Roshan Robbin (as below) and verified by the vet who attended to this case. The vet also verified that it was Baharum Hamzali who brought in the cat.
The subsidy has been banked in directly into the clinic’s bank account, as per requested by the vet since the bill has not been settled by the rescuer, but the vet has provided a fully itemised receipt.

Neutering And Spaying Sponsorship For 4 Dogs (Lydia Lim On Behalf Of Kim Fho)
10th Aug 2012, by AnimalCare
We have fully sponsored RM460 for the spaying of 3 female dogs and neutering of 1 male dog. The vet’s rates are the same as our subsidy rates, hence, it is a full sponsorship. These dogs are under the care of Kim Fho and Lydia Lim made the application on behalf of her as Kim is not computer-literate.
From Lydia:
Hi Kah Yein,
Kim recently had 4 rescue dogs spayed/neutered- 3 female and 1 male, named Yuki, Ah Xin, Ah Mon and Setset. These dogs were dumped outside her gate when they were pu...

From Koo:
Dear Dr Chan,It would be very much appreciated if you could publicise this possible
lost dog case:
A dog has been found at a residential road very near to the

Erythropoietin For Baggy
10th Aug 2012, by AnimalCare
Took me a whole morning and many phonecalls, but I’ve finally got the erythropoietin for Baggy.
Baggy lost another 0.05kg today.
We’ve given her the first erythropoietin jab. Have to wait for 3-5 days for the body to respond. Praying hard this will help.
I’ve spoken to three vets – all three did not recommend blood transfusion because it is just “buying time” and does not address the cause.
Thank you everyone, for all your help.

Anaemia In Cats – Looking For Erythropoietin For Baggy
9th Aug 2012, by AnimalCare
I found this site: http://www.floppycats.com/anemia-in-cats.ht ml
Also, if you happen to let your cat outdoors, you might notice an odd behavior of licking rain water or melted snow. They are craving minerals if they are anemic, and try to acquire such minerals from those sources.
This explains why Baggy was licking the spade, the soil, and today, she only wanted to drink water from the tiles and not from a container. Maybe she thought it was rain water.
I’m trying to get the drug Erythr...

Baggy Thanks Everyone For The Positive Wishes
9th Aug 2012, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/08/09/baggy-has -leukemia-and-there-is-little-hope-left/
Baggy was diagnosed with leukemia this afternoon (the blood test showed a “strong positive”) and the vet says the prognosis was very poor even based on the paleness of her mucous membrane and gums. The severity of her condition came as a shock to me as she had not shown any signs of weakness except for the paleness.
But we are definitely not giving up and currently, Baggy is on steroids, Hi-Vi...

Baggy Has Leukemia (and The Prognosis Is Poor)
9th Aug 2012, by AnimalCare
My worst fears were realised today and it explains why Baggy has been losing weight and is still very pale.
Baggy is FeLV positive. Her blood PCV is only 8% now. She is extremely pale. The vet says she is already dying and there is nothing we can do.
The only thing we can give to help her is Prednisolone (steroids), RetroMAD1 and a liver supplement called Hi-Vite. The Doxycycline will have to be continued as well. I’m also giving her AD.
The vet says she is very pale and her body is not ma...

To Neuter Or Not To Neuter – Is There Still A Question?
8th Aug 2012, by AnimalCare
Mrs Wong shared this: http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/l eisure/2012/08/07/to-neuter-or-not-to-neuter/
We&# 8217;ve written many times about the benefits of getting animals neutered, but it doesn’t hurt to arm ourselves with the latest statistics to convince others to do it too.
According to the article above, 5 million unwanted animals are euthanised every year in Malaysian shelters (by simple arithmetic, the 575 figure per day in the article seems to be wrong). Even if that fig...
