The Beauty Of Starting Early
23rd Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Yesterday, I was totally and completely konked out after dinner. With getting all my books back, carrying them from the car to the house (good workout for the arms, free "gym"), and collecting all the new tshirt stocks, plus rushing to finish my final exams marking, etc., it was a totally mad day and right after dinner, I was absolutely and completely konked out. The stock-checking would have to wait....sleep is more important.But, here's the beauty of sleeping early and rising early....I ...

Updates On Citta
23rd Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
I know many of you are very concerned about Citta. Yesterday was a "total-madness" day for me as we have an event today, and our new tshirt stocks just arrived and it was all stock-checking and preparing for today's event. I had no time to visit Citta OR Karuna.But the latest updates I've got (as of now) is from the vet himself and he says that Citta is "Doing impressively well. But have to check again this morning".So, that's great news for all of us!Get well soon, Citta. We'r...

Words Of Wisdom For The Weekend
22nd Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Now that Stuart is at least alright, I need to unwind a bit before going back to my final-exams-marking marathon....I thought there is so much wisdom in this:Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to us. – Leon TrotskyWhen the first grey hair appears on our head, it is a critical juncture in life. We go to the mirror with a sinking feeling of dread and try to pluck out the evidence – one here, two there. But the more we pull out, the more seem ...

Happy Updates On Stuart!! (he Is Fine)
22nd Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
When I received the sms from Punitha just now, I held my breath.....Forwarded sms from the fosterer, Kak Azah:Good morning. No worries. Stuart is doing fine. Already dewormed. He has not vomited since we brought him home. Will try to put him with mummy-cat tonight and see if she will accept him. If not, will continue syringe-feeding him with Milkodog. It's a good milk for kittens.Yay!!! I replied Punitha first to thank her for all her efforts. From yesterday until this morning, I have been...

Taiwan Does A First...for The Sharks
22nd Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
If there is one personal request I would make to people who want to hold Chinese dinners, it has always been this - Please, please, please do not order sharks' fins soup. I think most people have seen the horrendous ways sharks are "finned", ie. have their fins lopped off and thrown back into the sea to die a torturous death by drowning. Granted, cruelty exists in all slaughterhouses, and this is just one more way of how humans torture animals for the sake of satisfying the pleasures of the...

Please Pray For Stuart
22nd Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
There was another frantic search for fosterers for Stuart today as Devi relented this morning when she saw that Stuart was really going down. To cut a long story short, Stuart is now with Kak Azah, a cat rescuer and fosterer who has had a lot of experience in nursing kittens. Kak Azah says Stuart is alert and active and we now pray that the little fellow will pull through. Apparently, the milk powder used by Devi was baby formula. It is normally recommended that kittens be given kitt...

Injured Dog Needs Fosterer As Soon As Possible
21st Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Myza has just rescued an injured 2-week old puppy. The puppy has a back injury and the vet has stitched her up. How the puppy came to be so is a sad case of tug-of-war between the mother of this puppy and another mother-dog who had just lost her newborn litter. This second mother-dog came to snatch the puppy away from her mother (probably thinking the puppy is hers) and the mother grabbed her puppy back resulting in a tug-of-war which almost ripped the puppy into two.The puppy's back is tor...

If You Need Our Spay-Neuter Help, Please Send A Photograph Of The Animal
21st Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Spay-neuter is normally not an emergency case. My request to rescuers who ask for our spay-neuter help is to please send me a photograph of the animal, either by email or mms. This is because our accounts are audited and I need the photographs to account for each case done. Sometimes, by the time I finish work and reach the clinic, the animal has already been discharged. We have two clinics in Subang Jaya and I have to attend to both.So, here's how we work:1. Rescuer writes/calls...

The vet suggested that Tommy be put down but Norsidah refused, so Tommy was put on drips....

Karuna Has Been Previously Spayed
21st Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Today was Karuna's scheduled spaying. Would you believe it? The vets opened her up and found that she had already been previously spayed. That could only mean two things - either a rescue group had got her spayed and released her OR she is an abandoned pet. But, Karuna, being old, did not take the anaesthesia well at all, so the vets quickly removed the gas and brought her out of the sedation. But while they had opened her up, they saw that one kidney does not look very healthy. This...

The Dog Without Her Nose (MDDB's Case)
21st Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
I braved myself this afternoon and went to visit the dog whose nose had been lopped off by some evil human in Semenyih. Wani (of MDDB) had called me about the dog yesterday when the vet suggested that the dog be put down. I said she could always request that the vet treat the dog instead. Vets have their oath to uphold and one of them is that animals do not suffer, so vets have their own idea about how animals should be treated. We just have to respect that but we can agree to disagree, an...
