Subsidy For Hambao’s Final Bill (Grace Chow’s)
23rd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
We have subsidised RM224.50 for Hambao’s final bill.
Hambao was rescued by Grace Chow, a student from UTAR Kampar, treated and is now adopted. Hambao and Dehbao’s earlier bill was also subsidised by us. Unfortunately, Dehbao did not make it.

Tabs Is Spayed And Is Home Now
23rd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
The clinic called at 5.15pm saying I could already pick up Tabs. Earlier on, at 4.30pm, I rang and the assistant said Tabs had just been spayed and all went went.
I was so relieved. You know how it is when any of your animals go in for an operation. Every operation comes with risks.
Tabs was moving a lot in the cage when I reached the clinic. She was still a big groggy.
While we were driving home, Tabs kept licking the wound. This vet does the flank method so it’s on her side. I tried to d...

Giving Back Tiger His Throne
23rd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
While Tabs was away for spaying, I tried to give Tiger’s Cardboard Palace back to him, especially his “throne”, but he wasn’t comfortable sitting on it anymore.
See how uncomfortable he is? He used to sleep like a log on his boxes.
Then, it rained heavily and I could not find Tiger anywhere in the house.
After the rain stopped, Tiger appeared at the window. He must have sought shelter in one of the neighbour’s houses because he was not wet.
Poor Tiger…...

Where Is Everyone?
23rd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
The windows are still all closed as Indy and Tabs are still under “house quarantine”.
Tabs was making a hue and cry all morning when I confined her in the room, so I had to stay with her all morning after coming back from the vet’s with Indy.
She finally settled here, on the table beside the modem.
Where are Indy and Bunny?
I went upstairs to check. Indy wasn’t at this usual spot in the shrine room. Bunny wasn’t in Jia-Wen’s room.
I then peeked into Ming-Yi...

The Pied Piper Of Hamelin And Chief Seattle
23rd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
When I was young, we read storybooks, a trait, I’m told is fast dying in this generation of i-pads and ipods.
In these stories (which we called fairytales), one would be transported to a whole new world of magical people, beautiful princesses, gnomes, genies, and sometimes…even rats.
Here’s a story that has stayed in my memory for a long time.
It’s called The Pied Piper of Hamelin.
Let me try and recall the story, as far as my memory would permit me….
Long, long ago...

38.6 – No More Fever For Indy!
23rd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Great news today! Indy’s temperature is 38.6 degrees. That’s back to normal. There is no more fever!
His weight is maintained at 4kg this morning, which means there is no more weight loss since yesterday.
His appetite has improved a lot too – after the visit to the clinic, I started to force-feed him AD at home, but he licked it off my finger and soon, started eating straight from the can! And a lot, too!
However, there is still a “but”. His eyes still look pale, so...

A Response On The Case Of The Siberian Husky
23rd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2011/12/23/the-case- of-the-2-year-old-siberian-husky/
This is from Maneki:
Your post about the lady who wanted to just dump her husky made me so sad. Huskies are absurdly ill-suited to Malaysian life for so many reasons. They’re high-energy dogs with a powerful work drive, and of course their double-coat is not meant for life in the tropics. It breaks my heart to see them becoming so trendy here. Further, they are prone to quite a long list of congenital diso...

Tabs Shows Her Alpha-Ness
23rd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Ever since the vet told me Tabs is on heat, and being a young kitten, she can come on heat every two weeks (!), we’ve been keeping her confined in the house until she can be spayed as there are tomcats around the area.
And Tabs is NOT happy!
It’s ironical that a few days ago, when we closed the windows for Indy’s sake, Tabs was dying to come INTO the house. Now, we have to close the windows for both Indy and Tabs’ sake, and Tabs is dying to GET OUT.
It’s as thoug...

2 Female Cats Spayed (Maslinda’s)

Yesterday, we sponsored the spaying of 2 female cats brought in by Maslinda, on behalf of a feeder in Shah Alam:
Attached are the 2 cats sent for spaying today from a feeder in shah alam. they even named these two cats since they regularly fed them from the back alley. both cats recently gave birth to 4-5 litters each. but only 3 left. some are adopted while others died. i was told that both cats are related. maybe kak nita is actually tweety’s granny. these two are extremely healthy an...

The Case Of The 2-Year Old Siberian Husky
23rd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Two days ago, a lady (who only speaks Chinese) called me asking for help. Apparently, her friend wants to “throw” her Siberian Husky out on the streets. This lady asked if I could take the dog in.
Gosh, I don’t run a shelter, I said. I cannot take any dog in. Why don’t you advise your friend to put the dog up for adoption at PetFinder.my (this lady is IT-illiterate so that’s useless) or send me a photo with the owner’s contact details and I’ll put it up?...

A New Litter-Box For Tabs
22nd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
I went out to buy a new litter-box for Tabs since she is already litter-box trained. The one I have is rather small.
That’s Tiger (not Tabs) looking at the new litter-box. Everyone is welcome to use it. When I move, I have two big jobs – confining the cats and re-training them to use the litter-box. Somehow, years ago, when they were growing up, they stopped using the litter-box and went out to the grass instead. At that time, I thought the grass was more natural for them, so I allo...

39.3 And Going Down, I Hope (Indy’s Temperature)
22nd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
This evening, Indy went for his jab again and with bated breath, we took his temperature.
39.3 degrees!
Still considered low-grade fever, but it looks like his temperature is going down – Hooray!!
The hypothesis now is Indy may have contracted toxoplasmosis but his body weathered the storm and now, he is on the road to recovery. OR, it may have been a viral fever and the virus has run its course now.
Whatever it is, I’m just so glad Indy is recovering.
MY storm is clearing…at l...

Bunny And Tabs Go To The Vet’s
22nd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
I’m really becoming a permanent feature at the vet’s these days, aren’t I?
So, Bunny and Tabs went to the vet’s. Bunny with his non-stop orchestra, and Tabs, would you know it, was feverishly scratching at the carrier latch to let herself out. Poor thing…
Bunny, complaining all the way.
Tabs, determined to get out.
Bunny is definitely limping on his back leg. And he has a temperature of 39.5 degrees, which is a low-grade fever.
“Why are your cats sudd...

Tabs Doesn’t Belong To The New Neighbour
22nd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
I finally plucked up courage to go over to the neighbour’s to enquire about Tabs. “Courage” as in being emotionally prepared to accept what they say and make a decision. I’ve been so busy and anxious over Indy and Bunny I wasn’t ready to take on Tabs’ case yet.
But today, I went over and guess what? The makcik said Tabs isn’t theirs. Apparently, Tabs also went to their house, but they chased her out thinking she should go home to her owner since she has ...

Bunny And Indy’s Acupuncture Session
22nd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Dr Susanna arrived at my house on the dot and was welcomed by Tabs!
Tabs was a most gracious host, you’d almost think she’s been properly groomed at finishing school.
Dr Susanna immediately said Tabs has some British Shorthair or European Shorthair in her. She’s partly purebred – it shows on the roundness of her face and the spots on her body. Well, that’s something I know absolutely nothing about since I’m always dealing with street animals! I sometimes can...

The Storm Is Not Over Yet For Indy
22nd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
So off we went, Indy and I, on our twice-daily pilgrimage to the vet’s for Indy’s Trixone jabs.
I had earlier texted the vet with the good news that Indy is eating on his own already and he did pee and poo.
Indy wanted to come out and explore the clinic.
The injection was given and Indy still has a temperature of 39.5 degrees. Yesterday evening, it was 39.9, so I guess that’s a small improvement.
His weight loss today is 50g, so that’s also a small improvement.
I spoke...

A Request To Help Some Kittens (Yi Lian Low’s)
22nd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
A request below. I have written to Yi Lian (Sophia) if she would consider picking them up and doing the needful.
From:
Sophia

Mes sage:
Dear Dr Chan,
I went to the morning market today around 8.40am and saw a cardbox
containing about 5 kittens and 1 dead. I’m not sure how old are they
but they have yet to open their eyes. It’s orange tabby colour. Placed
on a curb right in front of the morning market. Unfortunately, I do
not have a handphone at the time and n...

Bunny Limps…
22nd Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Gosh, could it be the calicivirus?
Bunny went out this morning, after breakfast and I later found him under a car.
With Bunny, it may be easier as he loves food.
So, I brought some Fussie Cat out and put it next to him (he was within reach, but he’s so heavy, I don’t think I can drag him out).
Out came the Bunnyphant….and I let him eat up all the Fussie Cat before gently grabbing him.
He complained a bit, of course.
Inside the house, I let him go and that’s when I noticed...
