Indy And Tiger Go For Their Vaccinations
29th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
After coming back from visiting Sugar and seeing that today the vet’s was not crowded, I thought I’d take Indy for his check-up. If you’ve been following Indy’s news, he is a suspect kidney problem cat because there was protein in his urine and he used to lick a lot of water from the running tap. However, his previous kidney readings (done in August) showed that everything was normal.
Indy was also due for his vaccination and Tiger (and Cow & Bunny) are already overdu...

Sugar’s Amputation Went Well, But… (Eling Chan’s)
29th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Today is Sugar’s scheduled surgery and I’ve been calling the vet’s for updates. The surgery went well, and the vets are finishing the procedure now. The surgery lasted almost 2 hours because there was a bit of excessive bleeding but Sugar’s PCB level was good after the surgery.
However, an attempt to spay her revealed that she had already been previously spayed. This would mean either she was someone’s pet (abandoned, ran away, lost, etc) or her spaying was done b...

More On The Disagreement Of Having “community Animals”
29th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
The same reader writes again to share her views below. I can truly empathise with why she feels so strongly about NOT having community animals. It is based on her experience with their local council. If my local council were that mean, I also would not recommend returning any animal to the street again.
Thank you, Anon, for your sharing.
Dear Dr. Chan,
I would like to quote the four principles of Indian Spirituality which you quoted in one your blog postings;
“Whomsoever you encounter is the r...

29th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
From Shamiela Jane:
Lily wondered into a gallery in Jln Gasing, PJ. The merchant was kind to let her stay but she had to be chained outside.
A kind lady was taken in by her charm and is looking after her welfare, unfortunately is unable to foster her due to unsuitable living space & going overseas soon. So please if anyone can help foster or better still adopt right away, it would be Godsend!!
Lily is a beautiful little pup inside out! She strive for companionship and love. She will m...

It is a reminder of impermanence and a test of patience!
Many thanks to Wah and Huey for working the whole day to restore almost all of the posts.
Thank you!

We Were Hacked For A Few Minutes Just Now
28th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Dear all,
Apologies to everyone if you were not able to get into our website a few minutes ago. We were hacked and it went into a “I’m proud to be a Muslim” website instead.
Many thanks to our webhosters, Geekyhost (Wah and Huey) for their quick actions in restoring our website. I hope nothing is lost.
And why….do hackers do what they do?
Sigh….
A good reminder that all things are impermanent…do the needful for the moment, record it if you must (for audit pu...

Hi Dr. Chan,
Would appreciate if you may post the missing cat notice on your blog. Her cat Miu Miu meant everything to her and her family. Thanks a lot.

The Magic Mirror, Etc.
27th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
This evening, I took a break from the usual routine. My friend invited us to watch the musical, Magic Mirror, so it was an evening of theatre for us. I love the theatre, musicals and the performing arts, if only just to watch and be transported to a magical world, so to speak.
Guan Yin is a very popular personification and spiritual symbol of compassion and selflessness in Chinese culture. The message behind the story is that Guan Yin comes in different forms to help those in need, but t...

Kitty-3 Down To Kitty-2, And One Fading…
26th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
It’s so sad….one of the kittens passed away a few days ago, and today, one is very weak. I just called and the vet assistant said she has put the weak one on the heating pad. Its temperature is subnormal.
Apparently, the cause of death is unknown. They had already been dewormed by the vet and the vet assistant has been looking after them by taking them home every day.
Even the one left standing has stopped eating now.
Some things are just out of our hands as they are with the vet n...

Veggie Lunch For Dummies (in 20 Minutes!)
26th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Ever since I wrote the post about my blended veggie and fruit breakfast, there had been a few comments saying there should be more TV shows on vegetarian cooking, and since everyone is so busy these days, it should be simple cooking, too.
Well, here’s my contribution below. I just cooked vegetarian fried beehoon just now, so if anyone is as “dummified” as I am in cooking, you may want to take a look at what I do! It IS edible, no worries!
Soak the beehoon in water to soften it...

Looking For Puppy Fosterers (Jennifer SL Leong’s)
26th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
From Jennifer:
Dear Dr Chan
The pups are in their 4th week for this week. One male has been
fostered on 20 November 2011.
As they grow bigger now, they are very demanding and noisy. I am
worried for the neighbours at the back because I have 4 other dogs
with me.
I write to see if you can help me to continue looking for fosterers.
Need another month to foster before they are old enough for adoption.
Attached is their latest pix snapped.
Thank you.

Whoa…here We Go Again!
26th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Each time I deal with challenging humans, our policies expands!
And maybe once in a while, I need to put up a post to ever-so-gently remind everyone what we can provide and what we cannot.
It’s all here: http://myanimalcare.org/policies/
In short:
What we cannot provide:
A. We are NOT a shelter and cannot take in your rescues.
B. We are NOT a rescue team and have no expertise or skills in doing rescue work; but we will source for help on your behalf.
C. We cannot provide transportat...
