A Sharing: A Poem To My Foster Dog
18th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Lydia sent this to me late last night. Thank you, Lydia.Hi Kah Yein,I just wanted to say I know how you feel wanting to spend every precious moment with your Sunshine Kits before they go off on their new journey. It echos what we as fosterers feel again and again. And as much as it never gets easier, it gives us the hope and strength to do it all again when we know its all a better new beginning and a fair chance for our fellow earth inhabitants.I'd like to share this with you as it's...

18th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Two days ago (the day the 5 kittens were dumped at my front gate), we had planned a trip to accompany Dr Veeranoot to Segambut's cat sanctuary to rehome four of Kwanjit's six kittens. Dr Veeranoot rescued Kwanjit off the streets in Section 17, PJ, on a rainy day. At that time, Kwanjit was pregnant. The kind doctor gave Kwanjit a home and a safe and comfortable place to give birth.....to 6 kittens!We have been trying to get the kittens rehomed, but 4 are jet-black and 2 black-an...

Amber Horsey Had Tick Fever
18th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Updates on Amber Horsey:Horsey (her earlier name) was rescued by Joanne Lim, brought to our panel vet and found to have a compound fracture in her back leg which required amputation. The amputation was done and Lydia has been fostering Horsey (renamed Amber) since then, pending her rehoming. Recently, Amber Horsey came down with tick fever. She has since been treated, but it would be good for all of us to know what the symptoms are.Lydia writes:Here are some photos of Amber and...

Tomorrow, the Sunny Kittens will go to Rozita's home. Rozita has been sending me text messages, telling me how excited her two daughters are, at the prospect of having Rex, Fox and Honeybear.As I sit here, reluctant to leave them as this is their last night with me, as though she could read my mind, Punitha sends me this heart-warming email, which I just received minutes ago:Dear Dr.Chan,I think all of us who've been reading and following up on the Sunny kittens have you to thank, first an...

A Football Game For The Sunny Kittens
17th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Ming-Yi is back and after having been gone for just 3 days, she says the Sunny Kittens are so much bigger now. I'm beginning to think Rex has some affinity with Calculus....from a previous life, perhaps... Ming-Yi made some paper footballs for them to play with. They love it! Yay!! It's definitely more fun than the store-bought ball with a bell. And...Rex gets the ball....no, wait...it's Fox. Yes, Fox has the ball now and she's heading straight for the...

The 5 Kittens
17th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
I went to check on the 5 kittens this afternoon.They were sleeping when I reached the clinic, but got up later and started to play. One of them has the flu, another is also coming down with it. A friend has found me a fosterer, but since they have the flu, I decided to let the vet treat them first. Get well soon, little kitties.

17th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Honeybear has been getting more and more mischievous (read: simply adorable). This afternoon, he found a new toy to play with.Note: Do not be alarmed that it is a plastic bag. I'm watching them closely. I had just removed a tshirt and tucked the plastic bag behind the boxes. Honeybear was so attracted to it and... Honeybear pulled the plastic bag from behind the box all the way out while Fox and Rex watched closely, not quite sure what this new thing is.... He i...

Jenny's Drinking And Eating....so Well!
17th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
I think the photos will speak for themselves! Hey Jenny!Jenny is an extremely grateful dog, because when the senior vet went in with me to see her, she sat up, came to the door of the cage and wagged her tail so, so happily. The vet said seeing how well she is now, she could go home right now!She doesn't seem to have much trouble coping with the amputation. After all, she had been living with only 3 usable legs for a long time. The vet said they found a lot of pus in the w...

Jenny's Surgery Went Well....towards The End
17th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
The vet just called minutes ago. Jenny's surgery ended well and she is now awake. However, things did not go well DURING the surgery. The moment the anaesthesia was administered, she turned very pale, her breathing became erratic, and during the surgery, she bled a lot. It was also very difficult to do the amputation as the leg was so badly deformed, the musculature difficult to be ascertained.These complications were unexpected as her bloodwork had been good. This ...

The Lucky Ones Will Find A Way
17th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Remember Squirrel?After the back neighbour had his tree chopped down and Squirrel had not appeared in my kitchen for food, I was so worried about him.But after a week, we saw him eating in the kitchen again, and that was on a Sunday when there was no renovation work. But throughout this week, Squirrel has been coming in daily to eat the cat's leftovers. I know because I see all the remnants of the food chips on my kitchen slab every afternoon!Hooray for Squirrel!

Updates On Buzz
17th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://www.myanimalcare.org/2011/04/buzz -cat-with-diaphragmatic-hernia.htmlBuzz was a street-cat, supposed to be spayed, but had breathing difficulty upon being given the anaesthesia. The spaying was aborted, and subsequent check-up at our panel vet showed that Buzz has diaphragmatic hernia. The treatment is surgery, but it is extremely high-risk. Alternatively, a diaphragmatic hernia cat can live on comfortably as long as it is prevented from fall, bumps and obesity...

Amber, TVT Survivor, In Need Of A Good Home
17th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Amber was a street dog in Ara Damansara, and she had come right up to Krystal Teoh's gate, wagging her tail, as though asking to be helped. Krystal noticed that Amber had a dropped and "half-eaten" vulva, and she contacted me to request help for Amber.Amber was brought in for a check-up and found to have advanced TVT (Transmittable Venereal Tumour), a cancer of the private part, not uncommon amongst street animals. TVT spreads through contact; it is not airborne.As serious as it soun...

Senior White @ Milky Kiai, One Of Our Selayang Pound Rescues
17th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
On 25th February 2010, we took out 23 puppies due to be euthanised at the Selayang Pound. In collaboration with MDDB, these puppies were sent for treatment and those who survived were subsequently rehomed. Sad to say, many of the puppies did not survive despite being given the necessary treatment at our panel vets. Most of them died of tick fever, distemper, diarrhoea, etc., diseases that afflict street animals. It drove home the point that stray animals lead such a horr...

Jenny (injured Puppy) Is Transferred From PJ To Subang Jaya
16th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Today has been an incredibly hectic day for me. The dumping of the 5 kittens really threw me off balance and upset my entire schedule for the day. I had sought a second opinion about Jenny from our panel vet and was told amputation would be the better choice for Jenny. Another option is to do what is known as ankylosis but this would take 5-6 months to heal and I don't think Jenny would like that. Upon discussion with Mei Leng, she agreed that we transfer Jenny to our pan...
