Two Dogs Spayed-Neutered (Meiji’s)
20th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
We have sponsored the neutering of one male dog (RM30) and the spaying of one female dog (RM40), both brought down from Raub by Meiji to Klinik Kembiri. Both dogs were rescued from the roadside. The male dog was extremely emaciated initially but after a week of feeding, seemed healthy again.
The procedures were done on Saturday and both dogs are doing well now.
As Meiji could not send me the photographs, here’s the receipt:
I have requested for photographs in future as it is needed for au...

Updates On 20th Feb 2012
20th Feb 2012, by SPCA Singapore
This poor community cat was caught on a glue-board trap placed by a pest control company overnight at a HDB bin centre. The cat in these photos was dying by the time it was brought to the SPCA. She was in deep distress and panting heavily. Our duty veterinarian made the decision to humanely euthanase the cat to prevent further suffering.
The board trap was about 4 feet by 5 feet in size and the amount of glue on the board was excessive. The cat never stood a chance.
SPCA has previously appe...

A Couple’s Pride And Joy (a Sharing By Dr Wai Kar Men)
20th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
I’ll never pass of an opportunity to blog a good story. For me, “good” would be stories about adopting street or pound animals, coping with and managing them, or rescuing a street animal and giving it a better life. And of course, there are many, many more stories that I consider “good”.
Here’s a sharing by Dr Wai Kar Men, from down-under:
The bigger dog is Ben. He’s 13 this year. We adopted him when he was 7. Sweetest dog in the world- loves cats, ki...

Cleo, The Escape Artist
19th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
I guess one by one, my cats are getting bored being confined in Bunny’s Place although they have a room and a whole back garden to play in.
Just when I thought Cleo would not give any problems, she escaped just now!
All it took was for me to open the door to get out and with lightning speedy, she squeezed out and went upstairs.
Before we knew it, Cleo had gone out our bedroom window and onto the roof and was exploring the roof, but luckily still within sight.
We called her and as expected,...

Nightmare On Street 5A – Indy Lost…and Found!
19th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
This was really serious and frightening….
Indy had gone out to the porch this evening and was sitting quietly at the porch in front of the little rock garden, just enjoying the evening air. Then it was dinner time, and I got him and Pole inside to eat.
Right after dinner, the two of them jumped over the cat-grille and went out again.
We thought they would just be at the porch, but we were wrong….
Pole as sitting at the porch, but not Indy.
We went out to look for him and couldn’...

Switching From Cat-Sand To Cat Paper-Litter
19th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
My friend, Cathy, told me all about cat paper-litter sometime ago.
But when I first moved here, I was told clumping cat-sand is better when training cats to use the litter-box, so I tried a clumping cat-sand (had too much dust) and finally, I found Ever Clean, which my brood took to instantly.
It was already almost a miracle that my Cow-Bunny-Pole-Cleo gang was willing to use the litter-box with Ever Clean, so I stayed with it.
But now, cat-sand poses a slight problem. No matter how high the lit...

A Movie Star In My House
19th Feb 2012, by Dr Rayya's Online Veterinary Journal
Surprise visits are the best.
I had planned to blog about my very interesting eye cases today but a unique visit has prompted me to postpone the eye case discussion.
We got a phone call this morning from the owner of a SUPER STAR PET asking if she could honour her promise. Although I was still in bed and my husband had a severe case of the flu, we happily welcomed the much unexpected visit. We had a chance encounter with the owner two weeks ago when we sold her one of our bird cages. We discover...
