Photo Updates Of Brownie! 14th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Brownie is our parvo-survivor. Before I post his photos, we might want to analyse his case and learn a thing or two from it.Brownie was a rescued stray from North Port. He was very, very attached to his mother, Angel, and we assume he was breastfed. At the time of being rescued, Brownie was estimated to be about 3-4 months. Angel was rescued too and Winnie Low (their rescuer, also a first-timer) looked after them for about five days before bringing them to our panel vet, supposedly for spay...

Coconut Oil And Sulphur - Thank You From Meiji, Doby And Me! 13th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://www.myanimalcare.org/2011/08/doby s-skin-problem.htmlI wrote the above news on 3rd August. It was about Doby's perpetual skin problem which has baffled many vets for about two years now. Nothing seemed to work. An anonymous person posted a comment about using coconut oil and sulphur (see below in blue). I informed Meiji immediately and she concurred that someone else had also told her about this home remedy but she had totally forgotten about it!Well, Meiji immediately use...

Hello Brother... 12th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Once in a while, I get the privilege of being a guest (and most definitely, the oldest) member of a local youth choir. This is when they have a performance coming up where I can participate in. Rehearsals are on Fridays, so I was there this evening and... Hello, hello....who is this?A new member of the choir?No, apparently this is a new member of the family! Or, should I say, a very old member? And why is that so?Here's the story... Citta (that is the name given to him now) came a...

Another Kitten For Rozita 12th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Looks like another kitten has found its way into Rozita's heart....Hi Kahyein,This baby came to us late last night. A stranger I met on Facebook Group Kucing Terbiar Anjing Jalanan posted abt this baby. The rescuer was looking for a foster / adopter but preferably an adopter. He's as black as night with white marking on his chest n below his tummy. Its like wearing a white bikini :p. We've named him PUMA. Maybe you would be able to see him on his next visit to the vet's as you weren't able to jo...

Ronnie Has Melanoma 12th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Sometime last week, Koo wrote to me about a rescued stray dog with a black tumour on his tongue:My neighbors found a stray dog which initially was limping badly after falling into a drain. They are temporarily keeping him inside an empty house with the permission of the owner who has recently sold the house and would be handing over by month end.We believed he was recently abandoned because he's 'new' in the neighborhood and he's well-fed and quite tame. He has no collar or dog tag. H...

Beware Of Such Adopters (Bruce Is Gone) 12th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
If you remember, Weiwen is the young rescuer who rescued and took care of (and did a great job, too) four baby kittens, whom she named Bruce, Donnie, Jet and Jackie. The last I heard from Weiwen, the four kittens were doing very well, and had even recovered from watery poop. Bruce was the strongest of the four. Weiwen wrote to me yesterday:Feeling very upset today so I decided to email you. Last Saturday I finally gave my male kitten up for adoption to someone who contacted me via Pe...

Female Cat With Ataxia And Her Six Kittens (Mira's Rescues) 11th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Mira wrote to me about a female cat she rescued while the cat was pregnant. The cat has already delivered and has just about finished nursing her 5 kittens (there were 7 kittens but two died). Mira wanted to get the cat spayed once and for all because the cat had given birth many times. Mira also noticed that the cat was "wobbly" (like Parkinson's Disease, she said). Besides her own 5 surviving kittens, this cat (named Tam Tam) is also nursing a foster-kitten. This foster-kitten is the...

Indy's Blood Test And Urine Test Results 11th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Indy's blood test shows his creatinine and urea are within the normal range. The urine results done at the lab shows normal pH and no presence of any protein in the urine at all (hooray). BUT....the initial test at the clinic (done with a test kit, and hence, may not be accurate) showed the presence of protein. Two possible explanations:1. There was protein in his urine, but these got broken down by the time the urine reached the lab.2. There was no protein in his urine.We won't know...

Looking After A Loyal Friend 11th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Bobby is 15 years old and blind now (because of cataracts). He is still quite perky, especially when I come home from work - that's when you'll see him bouncing up and down like a little puppy, getting all excited and (unfortunately) banging into the furniture legs and the wall (but no serious injuries, just a bump here and there). Bunny and Tiger are his "buffers". They will shield him from bumping into the walls whenever they see him approaching one. I call them Bobby's "seeing cats"! But...

Visiting Karuna 11th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Here are some pictures taken over two trips to my mum's place: Hi, Karuna! My children and husband, meeting Karuna for the first time. My mum is concerned why Karuna sits this way (look at her hind legs). She cannot seem to stretch her legs out. But I think it's a small worry for such an old dog. Still, I'll ask the vets when I next see them. But she can sit this way, which looks more comfortable. There's no need for a cage because my mum would just leash her at the gril...
