26th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Updates from Agnes:Today Snowy has no appetite to eat. Maria and I visited him at 10.45am.He held up his head the moment he saw Maria and responded with a mew each time Maria called out his name and talked to him. When kibbles and water were served, he immediately reached out to drink water but did not touch the kibbles. Then AD was scooped out and he ate a wee bit when fed with a spoon. Then he ate a little bit more of AD by himself, and didn't want any more. He really looked lethargic but all ...

This morning, I brought June and Orange (Only-One's mother-cat) to the clinic. Orange's spaying is scheduled for today.Another physical examination to ensure that Orange is fit for the operation.After that, I took June to buy kitten food for Only-One and mum. Orange has been spayed now and Wei Leng's sister has taken her back to the shop. The vet just called to say Orange is fully awake and is in fact, very healthy, judging from her reaction to the anaesthesia. Sometimes, all it takes is g...

There is no need for spay-neuter or "training" of any kind. It is REALLY back to nature, where animals truly belong. In my next life, I'd like to be that jungle-man who lives with the lions! Ye...

Bising, A Stray Cat With Mange
26th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Liew wrote to me a few weeks ago about this stray cat who appeared to be having a skin problem. All Liew wanted was some advice and the recommendation of a vet. He did not need any sponsorship as he would gladly take care of the medical expenses of this stray cat. So, we recommended on panel vet and Liew brought "Bising" (that's the cat's name) two weeks ago.Here's Liew's sharing after the visit:Thank you so much for recomending me your vet. Although it is a long way off for us (Panda...

The Story Of The Silver Spring Monkeys
26th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Besides guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and cats, monkeys are also widely used for animal-testing. I overheard the other day that there is even a monkey farm in Sabah where monkeys are bred to be used in animal-testing. I sometimes post news from PETA but it does not mean I fully support what PETA does. Just as with most big organisations, there are bound to be things they do that cannot please everyone. Some organisations even have skeletons in the cupboard which cannot see the light of day. &...

25th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Sometimes, in the midst of having so much to do, more so, in dealing with all kinds of humans, especially those who like to make life so complicated, those who back-stab, those who only think of themselves, it helps to find the meaning of life by going back to basics.And what are the basics that we need in order to survive?I think it is kindness.
