Is There An FIP Cure On The Horizon? 20th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
The article: https://www.petmd.com/news/health-sc ience/experimental-fip-treatments-show-promise-aff ected-cats-34629
We don’t have PI in Malaysia.
Polyprenyl Immunostimulant (PI) is an investigational biologic used to lessen clinical signs associated with herpes virus infections in cats by promoting immune responses to the virus. PI also has been used to treat FIP. In a small study, three cats with the dry form of FIP were treated with PI. Two cats were alive and still receiving trea...

The Bench “problem” And “stink” Stories 20th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
It’s always been a problem…for more than seven years already.
Ever since we bought it.
We bought this beautiful teak bench for the cats when we first moved in. But soon enough, it became a target of spraying by the alpha-amigos, Cow, Bunny and Indy.
You can imagine how difficult it was to wipe the bench with urine seeping into the gaps and over time, surely the acidity of the urine would spoil the wood too.
So I covered it with bedsheets and have been doing this for seven years now...

The Other “patients” And The Other Stories 20th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
https://myanimalcare.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/0 4/1-video.mp4
This is Ginger’s daily routine – the whining.
And the dim sum.
I did ask the vet intern yesterday why Ginger is obese thought he eats “little”. We finally concluded that maybe it is because Ginger is not active. He doesn’t run around much unless he escapes, then he will chase the outside cats and will be really fast (Usain Bolt might not even be able to do Ginger’s short sprints).
On another not...

Managing Mr Zurik And An Informative FAQ On FIP 20th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
I thought I’d write a separate post on Zurik here, in case anyone is following his story.
Zurik ate three breakfasts this morning but they were all small meals. It looks like he likes Ginger’s idea of “dim sum”! Well, anything for Zurik, especially when he is able to eat.
Zurik doesn’t mind tablets (wrapped in bread), but it looks like he HATES liquids being syringed into his mouth. I cannot risk putting the liquid into his food because the mere smell of it might m...

Zurik Starts On RetroMAD1 19th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
Last night, Zurik started on RetroMAD1, the anti-viral that was experimental many years ago.
It was my friend, Agnes, who reminded me that RetroMAD1 might be worth a try, so I contacted my friend, Anita, who recently bought 3 bottles of RetroMAD1 for her cat, to ask from where I could purchase them. Anita immediately offered her two remaining bottles. Sadly, her cat did not make it so she does not need the two bottles now.
I know that RetroMAD1 was being used for parvovirus, FIV and FeLV but I d...

Ginger’s A-Okay…so Far 19th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
Truly, every cat reacts differently after surgery.
So very differently!
Look at super manja-pot Ginger…
We thought he’d be the “worst” as in he’d surely be whining for attention and complaining of pain, but no. None of that happened at all.
Look at the e-collar…haha. Isn’t this too cute?
It’s supposed to be like this, Ginger!
Eating, like everyone else. Like normal.
Surgery? Four stitches? Where??
I just wonder if he’ll need the e...
