22nd May 2011, by AnimalCare

After the procedure, Horsey was (and still is) fostered by Lydia.Here are some photos taken by Joanne when she visited Horsey recently. From a feral dog who used to snap, Horsey is now more trusting of humans. With all the tender loving care from Lydia, I'm su...

A Touching Tale
22nd May 2011, by AnimalCare
YG posted a comment on the blind Shih Tzu. I thought all of you might like to read it:Poor the Shih Tzu, how on earth has such a cruel person. When he was healthy and cute, the owner wanted him but when he turned old and blind, the owner simply get rid of him. Poor boy.I myself have a blind cat, which I named him Ah-Wong. He was born perfect (his mother was a stray and gave birth to him and his other siblings at my home) but at the age of one month, a stray male cat came and snatched him a...

Chuit And Bobo, Spayed Dogs For Adoption
22nd May 2011, by AnimalCare
This is a request from Ms Tang:My family and I have been trying our best to spay, neuter and rehome dogs nearby our house. We feed and bath them regularly. However, we all understood that the chances for adult dogs to be adopted are lesser since most of them think that it would be harder to train as compared to a puppy. I have been posting at petfinder website, facebook, mddb fb page, streets2home fb page, pawsmission fb page and emails to find adopters for the two female dogs (chuit and bobo) s...

Rawang Rescue - Rescuers Needed Urgently
22nd May 2011, by AnimalCare
Updates from Koo:Only a day has passed and I've been receiving calls and SMSes from Theresa and Azimah. It seemed that dog-haters there are hell-bent in sabotaging our efforts to get the dogs out. It's obvious that they want the worst outcome for the dogs which is for the MPS dog catchers to capture and kill them even though we have committed to remove the dogs. They are complaining about the cage and wants it removed. They are intimidating Theresa jus...

TNRM In Singapore
22nd May 2011, by AnimalCare
Dr Tan Chek Wee is the person who taught me all about TNRM, which is now very widely practised in Singapore. I was emailing him this morning and I asked how things are over there on the island. Apparently, he says it has caught on very well and he sees tipped ears everywhere. Also, residents are also more outspoken now and town councils are less likely to pander to complainants.Isn't this what we need over here?1. People who care enough to practise CNRM - that's you and m...

One-Eyed Kitten Adopted!
22nd May 2011, by AnimalCare
When Lilac was first admitted to the clinic for surgery, there was a little white kitten (rescued) boarding in the cage above Lilac's. I could not take a clear picture of this little white kitten as she was extremely friendly and was moving all the time. Mary and I both felt sorry for her as she was completely blind in one eye, but was so, so adorable. I had wanted to put her up for adoption.But guess what, she's already been adopted! Someone came into the clinic, fell he...

Lilac Is Bright And Alert
22nd May 2011, by AnimalCare
As of last night, Lilac is reported to be "bright and alert" and seems to be "well enough". However, there is still the leakage of the urine. The clinic was jam-packed yesterday so I have not been able to get more details from the vet if Lilac needs another corrective surgery for this "leakage" problem.

21st May 2011, by AnimalCare
Alex wrote to update me on Ginger and also to send Ginger's latest photos....Updates on Ginger! She is doing fine and well, her diarrhea had not totally gone away yet, but it had been improving gradually. It did went away last week for a couple of days, then it returned mysteriously, although in smaller amounts. I am feeding her steamed chicken breast still, 4 times a day. Hopefully it will improve gradually over the next week and I can start giving her kibbles again. I think this is happening b...

The Risks In Self-Prescribing Medicine To Animals
21st May 2011, by AnimalCare
I was recently asked if a popular dewormer for humans can be used on animals. Apparently someone had written in a public blog that it can be used.Of course being not a vet, I did not know the answer, so I asked our vet.This evening, he showed me the book of drugs for animals from the British Small Animals Veterinary Association. Based on the main ingredient in this popular dewormer, it can be used on animals, but it has to be administered in low dosage over a period of 5-10...

21st May 2011, by AnimalCare
Updates from Koo:I was there at 9am sharp and came across a Indian lady named Theresa who was sitting outside the RA office and wearing a reflective vest. It turns out that she's working as a guard and sets up a table at the RA office itself.I went to look under the container and discovered that the mother pup has a small pup! So, there's 4 doggies altogether.Since there was no one else there for a while, I made some small talk. One small talk lead to another and I found out that she's actually ...

Clarification: Why We Withdrew Our Support
21st May 2011, by AnimalCare
I have just been informed that there is a hot debate over in some public forum about spca's online petition and why some NGOs have withdrawn their support.Perhaps it is necessary to clarify here why I withdrew AnimalCare's support early yesterday morning.16th May: I was sent a draft by an officer from the SPCA asking for the consent of several NGOs to place their logos in support of the petition. I read the petition and felt it was worth supporting so I gave my consent. The petition ...

Updates On The Rawang Dogs (help Needed Today)
21st May 2011, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://www.myanimalcare.org/2011/05/requesting-hel p-to-catch-some-dogs.htmlAzimah, on her own initiative, has been working very hard to round up a pack of dogs in Rawang as the local council has been, unfortunately, very "active" in capturing (and hence, euthanising) stray dogs in that area.We publicised Azimah's appeal for help in catching the dogs sometime ago, but so far, only one rescuer has responded and they are both working on this first step now - to catch the dogs.

How Are Things Over At Imm's Shelter?
21st May 2011, by AnimalCare
Updates from Judy:Imm still looks tired. I can empathise her situation. I've noticed myself that I can't get much done in a day as I used to since turning 60. I'm 62 this year and Imm's 64! Imm really doesn't have much 'free' time in a day. She's up at 7am each morning to organise the food to be taken to the shelter. She leaves for the shelter at 9.30am (on Mondays at 8.00am as Yvonne and Curtis prefers to be at the shelter by 8.30am) and finishes usually around 12.30pm. From between then and 5p...

Poor Lilac Has Complications
20th May 2011, by AnimalCare
The vet just called moments ago. Complications has developed in Lilac's wounds. Part of the wound has now turned gangrenous. A more serious concern is that there is a swelling inside and an X-Ray taken today showed the presence of urine. This suggests that there could be some leakage from the urethra. The vet will inform the rescuer, Lisa, and await her decision on Lilac. Meanwhile, we can only pray that Lilac will recover from these complications if Lisa agre...
