Ben Is Unwell Again (Norshidah’s)
21st Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Ben is Burt’s brother. He was admitted shortly after Burt, suspected to be another sporo case, but it turned out to be just bad wounds. However, the wounds were deep and quite slow in healing.
It took about two weeks before Ben was declared fit enough to be discharged, and Norshidah sent him back to her elderly mother’s place. They bought a cage and Ben was confined. During this time, he escaped once, and that was all. At other times, he was confined in the cage.
A few days ago, ac...

Courage’s First Medical Bill, Etc.
21st Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
We’ve settled Courage’s first medical bill today.
It is RM158 and this covers consultation, one night’s boarding, the distemper test and her supplements and medication – Cephalexin (antibiotics for the nasal discharge), Daneuron (B1-B12-Omega 3 & 6) and Vetri-DMG as an immune booster. Sorry I got the names of the medications all wrong in the earlier posts as it is hard to decipher the spelling over the phone!
We thank all who have sent donations to help in CourageR...

Subsiding Burt’s Final Medical Bill
21st Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Today, Nor submitted Burt’s final medical bill. Burt was a sporo cat who underwent treatment for almost two months. Unfortunately, Burt did not show sufficient signs of improvement for the vet to carry on. So, Nor had to discharge Burt and we sourced for another vet to continue the treatment.
Burt was a neighbourhood cat who lived in Norshidah’s aged mother’s place. Her elderly mother could not foster Burt, and neither could Nor, so Nor had to board him for treatment.
Burt took...

Injured Dog Treated And Now, Recovered (Linda Suhaili’s)
21st Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
I received this from Linda Suhaili last week. We got to know each other through email when I highlighted Phaik Imm’s plight early this year. Linda and her husband (who live in Ipoh) were one of the very first to volunteer their help by going in to help Imm clear the bushes, clean up the shelter and help with the animals.
Later on, Linda also rescued a dog named Bobby whom she sent for treatment. Bobby has been rehomed since.
Here’s Linda’s email:
Hi Dr Chan,
I do hope you mi...

Cookie, Adopted Puppy Returned After One Year – For Adoption Again Now (Nandhini’s)
21st Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Nandhini was very upset yesterday. She rescued 11 puppies from an Indian temple in Klang last year, we sponsored their vaccination and subsequently, she got them adopted one by one. Cookie was one of them.
Yesterday, Cookie’s adopter informed Nandhini that she wanted to send Cookie to the SPCA because he keeps chewing on things in the house and that has cost her a lot of money.
Nandhini is now looking for another adopter for Cookie. Please help by forwarding this link.
Here is NandhiniR...

It’s Only Kitty-3 Now
21st Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2011/11/kitty-4-back-to-th e-vets/
Sad news. One of the kittens passed away a few days ago. The poor thing probably died from worm infestation. Although the vet dewormed them but it was probably too late. If you remember, the kittens had diarrhoea and two of them were quiet. One of the quiet ones passed away. The other quiet one is still quiet now.
The clinic assistant has taken them home to nurse them. I just spoke with her. She said the kittens vomited worms. This ...

Updates And Photos Of Courage
21st Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Here are updates from my friend.
Day One:
Here’s some news on Courage but I’ll have to make it short as it’s been a long day.
Yesterday was quite a day picking up Courage, taking her to my vet for the distemper test and then taking her home. When I first saw her at the clinic and she was being taken out from the kennel she was squealing and showing her teeth and actually gave one of the clinic staff a hard nip as if to say the she was not feeling good and was hurting.

The Blueys Go For A Holiday….to Klang!
20th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Andy and family have gone for a holiday, so the Blueys went for their own holiday as well….to Uncle Teh’s house!
Mr Teh took the Blueys home this weekend. He had told me earlier and we thought the Blueys, being as precocious as they are, might bully his cats.
Did they?
Take a look…
With Auntie Lili and Felix Teh
Hmm…an interesting new place, isn’t it?
Mr Teh has his own cats.
Aww…Mr Teh brought the Blueys’ toys along, isn’t that nice of him?

A Parvo Experience

One Simple Step to Protect Your Dog from Deadly Parvo
by Laura Simpson
November 19, 2011
11:30 pm
Written by Katie McDougall of Virginia (USA)
I was found on a cold, wet day in March in an alley of Richmond, Virginia. I was huddled in a corner, drenched and shaking. The people who found me could tell I was a puppy, “four months old maybe” they said, and they tried to tempt me with treats but I didn’t move at all. The lady noticed I had a leaf in...

Urgent – Fosterer/adopter Needed For Rescued Kitten (Jessy Lian’s)
20th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
From Jessy:
Dear Dr.Chan,
Just now while driving home (after visiting Patrick at MDDB’s adoption drive at Jaya One) on Jalan Maharajalela, under the Monorail Station Maharajalela, I spotted a black kitten sitting by the road side. I feared it might walk to the busy road & get hit by cars, so I stop at the nearest petrol station and get a paper box from them. And walk back to the station to get the kitten. Knowing that my mom will not allow me to foster the kitten, I had no choice but ...

Eat Like A Caveman…and Live Longer?
20th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Many years ago, I was a health nut. I studied various diets and came across what is known as the “Caveman Diet”, which made sense to me. Now, I hear it is still popular and it is called, more sophistically, the “Paleolithic Diet”.
Here’s something from http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/a rchive/2011/11/11/paleo-goes-mainstream-cbs-news-r eports.aspx?e_cid=20111120_SNL_MV_1

Buddy’s Story – A Sharing By Connie James
20th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Below is a poignant and touching sharing by Connie James. What happened to Buddy and now, to Courage, only goes to show how very important it is for us to participate in CNRM and encourage others to do so as well. Spay-Neuter is about the most compassionate and doable method I know of to control the population of street animals and reduce the suffering on the street.
Thank you for the sharing, Connie. I am sure Buddy is now at Rainbow Bridge, smiling and playing happily with his friends, the bir...

Learning More About Courage’s Condition
20th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
I had a long chat with our vet today, to try and understand as much as I can about Courage so that we can move on sourcing useful ways to help her, even if not to recovery, then to better wellbeing.
Here’s what I learnt:
The only diagnosis made on Day One was that there was no more deep pain sensation, which indicates nerve damage. The vet used a pair of scissors to prick Courage’s tail and paws and there was absolutely no reaction from her at all. We could also feel externally that ...

Further Updates On Courage
19th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Just had a long talk on the phone with my friend who has taken Courage home. Apparently Courage was a bit snappy while at the clinic. This could be due to several factors (we are just guessing):
1. Maybe she is a bit more confident now, so she dares to snap.
2. Maybe the injury was new yesterday and the real extent of the pain and injury had not set in, because yesterday, she was still very friendly and had not shown any signs of pain. She could even waddle around using her front legs.
Coura...

Updates On Courage
19th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Hi everyone,
I’ve just come back from Melaka after a long day, from 7am until 8pm. I was invited to conduct a seminar over there. My apologies to everyone who had written emails and sent smses – I can only reply you now as I had four sessions to conduct all day and there were only lunch and tea break.
While I was in Melaka, I was also coordinating arrangements for Courage.
Last night, the acupuncturist, Dr Susanna Brida, responded to my request and said she would be happy to give acu...
