Litter Tales, Again!
11th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
After weeks of experimenting with various litter, I have settled for OKO Plus. Note that I said “I” and not my cats, because my cats still prefer Ever Clean.
However, I found out that Ever Clean uses high quality bentonite (clay), and because it is high quality (which explains its price(!) and why it clumps so incredibly well), it is dust free. The only problem is, the harvesting of clay destroys the topsoil and hence, it is not an environmentally friendly product. Knowing this, I ha...

Mangy Has A Home Now With Maslinda
9th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/03/27/rescued-m ale-cat-for-adoption-prems/
Mangy was rescued about two weeks ago by Prem. At that time, Mangy was…well, very “mangy”. Prem asked if Maslinda could take Mangy and if so, she would see to the mange treatment, vaccination and spaying.
Maslinda agreed and today, Mangy received her last jab and is well enough to join Maslinda’s cat-neighbourhood.
Mangy? Sure doesn’t look it anymore!
You need a new name, kitty!
Thank yo...

The Super family (a mother-cat and her very young babies) was living on the five-foot way at the shoplots in Shah Alam when Koo spotted them in February and sourced for fosterers.

On route from Shah Alam to ...

URGENT: Puppy Fosterer Needed (Mr Donald Tan’s)
9th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Mr Donald Tan (012-9021173) called me just now seeking help. His wife had just picked up a puppy from the rain and he doesn’t know how to look after it. In fact, he had driven all the way to PAWS to surrender the puppy but it was closed. I asked for a photo of the puppy, but he did not have a camera phone and doesn’t know of anyone who would have one.
I asked if the eyes are open and Mr Tan said yes. He also said the puppy seems healthy and is “running around”.
Judging fr...

Did You Lose Your Dog In Tanjong Bungah? (Mah Chun Huey’s)
7th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
From Huey:
I live in Tanjung Bungah/Fettes Park area, Penang. We saw this male dog roaming on the next street of our place last night, and we thought it’s someone’s dog. Tonight when I came back, Wah told me this fella has been roaming along our street for the entire evening. So I approached him, and I think he’s a lost dog. He has a chain, with a lock around his neck, and also a faded tag with Chinese word ‘Hock’ (福) on it (not very clear in the photo). Very friendly, even licked me...

Four Packs Of Dogfood For Mr Low
7th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Mr Low feeds about 20 odd stray dogs on a barren piece of land in North Port. About a week ago, someone discovered that a mother-dog had been poisoned and her 14 newborn puppies (12 males and 2 females) had been dumped in that area. Mr Low bought powdered milk and some milk bottles, enlisted the help of some Bangladeshi workers and the workers are now looking after the 14 puppies. It has been one week and they seem to be doing well.
We have offered to sponsor puppy-milk IF the puppies are not do...

A reader was very concerned and worried after reading the above two posts, so she called to ask if there were alternatives to using chemical flea control.
I said I’d read up as much as I can and share whatever I’ve found out, but before I do, kindly take note of the disclaimer for this post:

After They Had Their Breakfast…
7th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
…it was time to cook another batch of food for Bobby and the cats this morning.
My lifesaver is the pressure cooker. It can cook up a whole batch of food in 15 minutes. I let it cool first, before deboning the chicken.
This round, I put: 4 pieces of chicken keel, 4 pieces of chicken thigh (all with the skin), chicken liver and heart, anchovies (ikan bilis), zucchini, celery, pumpkin, carrot, french beans, seaweed.
I read that celery has cooling properties that help with inflammation, li...

Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/04/06/always-re ad-the-labels/
Maneki left this comment on my earlier post and in case some of you do not read the comments section, I feel a great urgency to share this:
I remember the time one of my friends liberally sprayed her cat with her dog’s flea spray, which contained permethrin — exceedingly toxic to cats. She found the cat frothing at the mouth and in a seizure. She raced him to the vet who immediately asked if she’d treated him for fleas latel...

Always Read The Labels And Always Use With Caution
6th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
My friend related a really sad story, and the moral of the story is to remember how important it is to always read the label on any medication that we use, whether on ourselves or our animals.
I was at the vet’s today and saw a very miserable-looking purebred dog. I asked the owner what was wrong and she said she had just given her dog a tick bath and the next day, the dog could not walk, pee or poo. It had lost the mobility of its legs. After the owner came out from the examination room w...

Take A New One And Discard The Old?
6th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
This was related to me a few days ago by an officer from a shelter. This lady had brought in a 7-year old pregnant dog to be surrendered at the shelter.
As per shelter policy, the officer explained that they could not take in pregnant dogs because the infants, if born in a shelter, would have a very high mortality rate as shelter conditions may not be very hygienic and sometimes there is outbreak of disease. Most of the time, infant animals die at the shelter.
Moreover, this dog was already 7 ye...

Some Tips On Home-Cooked Food (for Pets)
6th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Dr Susanna gave me some really useful tips on the preparation of home-cooked food for pets. I’ve tested it out and it is spot-on!
This is especially for those who cannot cook every day and need to freeze some of the portions for the next few days.
1. Portions can be kept in the fridge, but no longer than three days. For my case, my brood absolutely will not eat even if it is stored in the fridge for one day!
So, I have to freeze.
2. Here’s the most valuable tip of all – when de...
