Zippy News!
25th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
I’ll let the photos tell the story….
Tabs also started putting out her paw to “feel” for the latch (just as Pole did yesterday). This little girl learns fast!
I do zips. I don’t need to undo latches.
This morning, Cleo zipped out and ran upstairs. I didn’t know why. Then, I found out – you know how in the old house, Cleo was my husband’s alarm clock? She would wake him up every single day? Well, she just wanted to wake him up again. Is that...

Let’s Talk About Food Again, Shall We?
25th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
So, we’ve been talking a lot of the benefits of raw food and home-cooked for our animals, but granted, some of us cannot home-cook, while some of our pets refuse to take home-cooked and what more, raw, especially after they have been on kibble or wetfood for years.
I’d like to adopt the moderate stand, and also to “listen” to what our pets want. Animals, believe it or not, may not be able to read the ingredients list, but sometimes, they actually KNOW what is good for the...

Hermione Is Adopted!! (Chen Chen’s)
25th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
From Chen:
Hi Kah Yein,
Affinity sure is strange. After I posted Hermione’s profile on Petfinder, my inbox was flooded with requests for her. This is a very nice welcome after being abandoned. Anyway, at the end, she went to a family today that has another kitten that she can play with and grow up together. It’s a loving family with lots of laughter and the family takes the extra care to provide the best for their cats – stay indoors, quality food, lots of toys, lots of play an...

Lilian Tong’s Kitty Given A Clean Bill Of Health At The Vet’s
25th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
From Lilian:
Hi Dr C!
Yep, I was out and about early in the morning and head to the vet’s, where I was greeted by a kind and friendly vet and his crew. He did a check up on kitty, was gentle and really friendly! She was administered with a deworming medication and sprayed with Frontline after the vet said she looked healthy; no apparent fleas (Frontline would help to eliminate the infestation of eggs, if any), no skin diseases and has quite a meow! He also gave me a bottle of L-Lysine to h...

Litter Tales At Bunny’s Place
25th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
So, I’ve been experimenting with Cat’s Pride and Breeder Celect (paper-litter) for a week now, besides still using Ever Clean.
Here’s the verdict:
1. Tabs took to Cat’s Pride instantly, so I suspect that’s the cat litter her former home must have used. But she only pees in it, not poo. For poo, she still uses the mixed Ever Clean and paper-litter.
2. I have mixed the paper-litter in to every one of my Ever Clean litter boxes now. They all use it. I’m adding ...

“Can See” For Bobby!
25th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Finally, the Can See eyedrops arrived yesterday morning and I was thrilled to bits!
http://wisechoicemedicine.net/store/informat ion.php?info_id=11
http://www.can-c.net/success.ph p (testimonies)
It is an eyedrop to address the problem of cataracts, and it’s meant for humans but pet owners have used it successfully in the treatment of cataracts in dogs, too. If only I had known about it earlier before Bobby became so blind….but never mind, it’s never too late to try.

More Jailbreak And Zippy Attempts
25th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Ever since the fool-proof maximum security cat-grille went up, there had been NO jailbreaks so far, but there were many zippy attempts by Cleo (all successful) and Tabs (quite successful).
Tabs is actually incredibly smart. She has perfected the skill of hiding against the wooden door, pressing her body onto the door so that you almost cannot see her unless you take note of it. Then, the moment you open the grille, ZIP!! she’s out!
Indy is doing it the old-fas...

A New Rescuer’s First Day With Her Kitten (Lilian Tong’s)
25th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Lilian wrote to me this evening:
Hello Dr. Chan.
I was introduced to your blog about a month ago by a friend and have been reading your posts ever since. Today, a weird thing happened. I found a kitten today on my way back from work trying to cross a busy road. I have no experience whatsoever with kittens or cats for that matter. The kitty, who looks to be 3 weeks old(?) is beautiful and so brave!!
I was hoping if you could recommend on the food I could give her..or if it’s too soon to g...

Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/02/22/more-on-d arwins-story/
From Narelle:
I am sure Darwin is a different dog. The other one we never got. Spoke to lileng who sent Darwin up to us. He was run over near a friend of hers house. The mother and other puppies were sent to SPCA and they later found, put down. So she was determined not to have the same fate to this one. Lileng and her friends raised money by selling craft items in weekend bazaars for his care for 3 months, but no one wanted him. S...

Maximum Security….finally!! (the New Pole-Indy-Proof Grille)
23rd Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
I had been waiting for the contractor, Ah Keong, to call me ever since he took the whole cat-grille back to figure out how best to cat-proof Bunny’s room.
Voila…today, he called!!
He came over with the full-length grille – added up from the old one. And he cleverly made a rectangular hole so that I could open the latch from inside the room. There is no latch on the inside (in case Pole figures out how to open latches, you’ll never know, right?).
Nice?
Actually, never m...

Bobby’s Acupuncture Today
23rd Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Bobby had his fortnightly acupuncture session by Dr Susanna today.
Not much objection this time.
I notice Bobby has actually improved a lot (clinically) after all these acupuncture sessions. Also, the daily evening walks in the sun help a lot. It feels like he has more muscle now, and his appetite is much, much improved.
Prick, prick…
Happy and relaxed after the session.
