Mum-Dog And 3 Female Pups For Adoption 28th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
A request from my cousin, Lian:Attached are photos of a mother dog and her three female pups (by now about three months) belonging to my neighbour. The father is a rottweiler/mongrel. Would appreciate it if you could place them for adoption on your website. One pup has a normal tail, another one has a curly pigtail, and the last one has absolutely no sign of a tail. Very strange, but there you go. Mum is not spayed and none have been vaccinated.The owner's name is Ah Mooi and her telephone numbe...

Chewie Has A Home Now 28th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
CP was there at the clinic to send Chewie off to her new home. CP managed to give some energy healing to Chewie before she went off. According to her, Chewie is weak, but is definitely a fighter. She even stood up in the box when Lina drove off. Like a true-blue Chewbacca!I just texted Lina and Lina says Chewie seems very comfortable inside her own cage now. That's good. Maybe Chewie knows she is in her forever home now so she is happy and can finally rest com...

Chewie Goes Home 28th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
I went to the clinic again later this afternoon. We had another new case there so I had to discuss the prognosis with the vet. Also, I was very anxious to check on Chewie. Christine and her friends (Jax, Doris and adopter, Lina) were all there. They were taking turns to provide comfort and encouragement to Chewie.Here's the thing, explains the vet...Chewie could actually go home already because there is no reason for her to stay in the clinic. If Lina and her friends ...

Please Pray For Chewie (possible Blood Parasite Infection) 28th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
I reached the clinic after work today and was told Chewie is not doing very well. She has suddenly become very pale this morning, and the vet suspects that it may be due to a blood parasite which had been in existence in her body, but is now manifesting and causing an infection. The course of action is to stop the earlier antibiotics (meant for the lungs and the wound in the paw) and start her on Baytril and Doxycycline, the latter of which is very effective against the blood parasit...

A Tussle Over Ownership (a Story From Japan)...and Goldie's Story 28th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
An anonymous person thought I should share this story, which is good for all of us to reflect upon:http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/re turn-our-dogs-tepco-demands/story-e6frg6so-1226083 034104I suppose this is a question of ownership:Who owns the animals, actually?My thoughts would be this: None of us own the animals. We are merely caregivers who have taken the responsibility of looking after them (as best as we humanly and humanely can) because we think they need our help.&...

Notched Or Not Notched? 28th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
A friend who is keen to do his part in CNRM managed to capture a cat in Kota Kemuning two nights ago, and he wrote to me saying there appears to be a "hole"in one ear. He asked if he should send the cat for spaying again. I said the best is to send the cat to be examined by a vet and the vet would be able to tell (with more certainty) if the "hole" has been deliberately made. Alternatively, since there is already a "hole", one could also choose to wait for a few months and moni...

Nope, sorry, you can't eat too much yet. (Your stomach's just gone back to its proper place!)Hey you, spunky little girl!CP was al...
