Indy’s Acupuncture Today
27th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Indy had his acupuncture treatment today…
After the needles went in, he was put in the carrier, as usual.
He complained and tried to open the lock.
I think he was already feeling better compared to the last two days when all he did was to sleep. Well, sleep is very healing; that’s when the body heals itself as much as it can.
Time’s up. The needles can come off now.
Dr Susanna said Indy has a weak-qi and weak-blood problem, in Chinese medical terms. It is not anaemia, th...

Medical Subsidy For Caty (Koo Swee Por’s)
26th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/04/25/catys-sur gery-today-koo-swee-pors/
I dropped in to enquire about Caty today and was informed that she is physically doing well, but having a big problem with the e-collar. Her eye enucleation needed external sutures, hence, the e-collar is of great importance. But Caty is still adjusting to and resisting the collar and has not learnt to eat with it. So, the vet is still handfeeding her.
The vet would prefer to keep her one more night to ensure that all i...

Liyana is a student from Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. We have subsidised RM22.50 for Mak Boyot’s treatment.
From Liyana:
Dear Dr Chan,
Two Saturdays ago, I’d sent the kitten mom (we called her Mak Boyot) to the vet. The vet confirmed that she’s pregnant, so the spaying was postponed until later after she gave birth. While we’re there, I ask the vet to check the cat skin condition as he...

Fosterer Needed For Kucing (Kamaruzaman’s)
26th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Updates from Dr Dev:
Hi Dr Chan,
Attached is the latest pic of Kucing. He needs to be handfed. He is otherwise ok but still hasnt gone to toilet or eating by himself. Very accepting of food given to him though up to a certain point. Bill so far RM951. He needs fostering but the guy who brought him in says no money to pay for his tin food and also no cage to keep and also cannot look after as he himself has a kid. So looks like I have to take care of him unless a kind fosterer can do that.
Kind R...

New Claim Forms
26th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Today, we’ve had three cases where applicants filled up our forms wrongly again, claiming for 100% subsidy for medical treatment instead of the agreed 50%. In all three cases, this is the second time it has happened.Despite my repeated explanation that our subsidy is only 50%, applicants still fill up 100%. I don’t understand why.
This makes our work very hard because every claim form is audited.
In view of this, we have revised our forms.
To all applicants – kindly download ou...

26th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
We have fully sponsored the neutering of 2 male cats, brought in by Maslinda Abd Talib. The rates at this vet is equivalent to our subsidy rates.
While at the vet’s (photos courtesy of Koo):
The neutering could not be done on the same day as there were many emergencies at the vet, so it was postponed to the next day.
The cats have been neutered and have returned home now. All is well, as can be seen from the photos below, sent by Maslinda.

Can We Neuter Our Way Out Of Killing?
26th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Huey shared this: http://www.nathanwinograd.com/?p=9022
I think it’s really, really good food for thought.
The gist of it is that the author questions if neutering is THE best way to control overpopulation and he thinks it is NOT.
He thinks it should start with having no-kill shelters.
There must be no-kill shelters first, and then, there has to be neutering. The two must co-exist.
I must say I totally and absolutely agree. And that is why, as hard as it is sometimes (in difficult cases...

Is This Your Dog? Spotted In Menjalara Park (Lim Swee Yen’s)

Hi Dr.Chan,
This female dog was seen wandering around the area near Menjalara park
for about 3 weeks already. I initially thought she belongs to one of
the shop owners. But everytime I go there to feed the strays, she
would seem very hungry and so I gave her food as well. I asked around
about this dog and no one seems to know who th...

And from her experience:
Good morning KY!
Since you’ve been busy taking care and worrying about Indy, I’m thinking maybe you’ll like to blog my story about trying out World’s Best Cat Litter.
I’ve read about World’s Best Cat Litter (WBCL) for many years but never managed to get a pack until yesterday afternoon. It claims to be totally safe for pets, people and the environment. It’s flushable and se...

Indy Eats On His Own!
26th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Last night was, thankfully, uneventful, so Indy and I slept through the night.
This morning, I awoke early as I had made a fresh batch of homecooked food late last night and I was going to blend it all this morning as it was too hot last night. It was sealed tightly in the pressure cooker, so no worries about bacteria contamination there.
I got everything blended while everyone else watched from the grille.
I dished out the food to the 6 of them plus Bobby, and was going to feed Indy.
But he dec...

Spaying Subsidy For A Female Cat (Hew Sook Yean’s)
26th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Ever since implementing our subsidy scheme so that we can reach out to rescuers all over the country (we did away with panel vets), our former panel vets have been given our subsidy forms so that they can recommend needy rescuers to apply for our subsidy.
One of our former panel vets have been recommending many rescuers to our fund, which is a good thing, especially when it is through recommendation of the vet. At least we know the vet thinks the rescuer needs the subsidy, ie. a first round of &...
