URGENT NOTICE: Stray Culling Campaign To Begin
We have received reliable reports that the local councils in KL & Selangor will be intensively "cleaning the streets" of stray dogs very soon, sparked by the unfortunate Subang Jaya bull terrier incident.
PLEASE bring any strays you are feeding into your home temporarily if possible, while seeking out adopters through friends and PetFinder.my. If not, they will likely be captured and put down within days.
If you lost your dog, it may have been ca...

Death And Disarray At America’s Racetracks
16th May 2012, by PetFinder.my
Thousands of horses die each year at the racetrack during training or racing, owing to the selfish desire of mankind to profit handsomely from the races and branding it as a sport.
Horses that injure or break their legs, often due to bad track conditions, are shot down on the spot because they can no longer race. Others run themselves to death after being given illegal doses of steroids.
Is horse racing immoral?

Last week my daughter rescued 2 kittens from her school and brought
them home as the Headmaster wanted to get rid of them but she could
not rescue the other kitten as her classmates (naughty ones) stoned
him/her to death. Your no. was given and my kids spoke to you and were
told that you’ll come by to collect them and we have to pay RM30/-
each. We were waiting but you did not show up and the 2 kittens are
still with us – i wish i can kee...

Helping Bubu With Acupuncture Treatment (Maslinda Abu Talib’s)
16th May 2012, by AnimalCare
Maslinda told me she was interested to send one of her community cats, Bubu, for acupuncture treatment under Dr Susanna. Bubu is suspected to have a bladder problem and his hind leg is affected. He has been sent to the vet’s, but there does not seem to be much improvement so far, so it is definitely worth trying out acupuncture for Bubu.
Dr Susanna has been very kind to offer a 50% discount to Maslinda since she is a recommended rescuer and caregiver, and Bubu went for his first treatment...

Visiting Yoshee At The Clinic
16th May 2012, by AnimalCare
Since Yoshee will be at the clinic until Saturday, I thought I’d bring some food for her and visit her as well.
When I reached the clinic, Yoshee had already gone for a walk this morning. Sree has decided to put her entirely on kibble so it’s best she is not given anymore home-cooked food. Yesterday, Yoshee finished off her kibble (the Canine Caviar I brought).
Yoshee was incredibly happy to see me, or for that matter, according to the vet, she is incredibly happy to see anyone!

Abandoned Elderly Cocker Spaniel For Adoption (Lim Swee Yen’s)
16th May 2012, by AnimalCare
To: Webmaster
From:
Lim Swee Yen
sweeyenlim@yahoo.com
Message:
Dr.Chan,
this cocker spaniel was abandoned probably due to her old age
(estimated 8-10 years) and her eye problem. She has a dry eye on the
right side and a proptosed left eye. Both eyes require eye drops and
this has to continue throughout her life. Would appreciate it if you
could post it on your blog and hopefully someone with a big heart will
give this girl a second chance. Other than her eye problem, everything
else is fine. She...

Yoshee Undergoes “training”
16th May 2012, by AnimalCare
Sree called this evening to say that the vet has offered to train Yoshee, and at the same time, observe her healing at the clinic for a few more days. There are also no other dogs at the clinic right now except for the clinic’s resident blood-donor dog so there is no danger of Yoshee picking up any dog-diseases.
It sounds a good idea, especially when the vet says it is better for Yoshee to be trained before going to Sree’s mother-in-law. Yoshee is smart, so it wouldn’t be so ha...

A Nice Little Boot For Sunshine!
15th May 2012, by AnimalCare
As you know, Sunshine is AnimalCare’s rescue case (and probably the last one since we have no shelter or fosterer to place rescued animals in). We have still been unable to find a home for Sunshine, so until that happens, we will continue sponsoring Sunshine’s physical and medical needs as much as we can. What Lydia does for Sunshine is something no money can buy, so we can only offer our utmost gratitude to Lydia for it.
I have offered to give a small modest subsidy for SunshineR...

So, It’s Back To Us Now…

It’s called the empty nest syndrome, but it isn’t empty because I’ve got my whole colony with me…

That’s Cleo up on the shelf.
Pole – she eats at odd times.

Baggy seems to like this Clubhouse shelf a lot. Maybe she likes the scent of the white flowers.
My daughter, Ming-Yi bought these new toys for the cats. The mice have catnip in them and so does the caterpillar (but only in the head).

Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/05/15/kak-yam-c at-rescuer-and-caregiver-in-muar-johor/
Kak Yam called this afternoon and we had a long chat on the phone. She told me a lot about the rescue work that she does. To cut a long story short, Kak Yam works at the welfare department in Muar and here’s a heartening piece of news. Her boss is also an animal-lover and they have a special room in the Warga Mas (senior citizens) section which is used to neuter cats. Isn’t that nice? So, Kak Y...

Follow-Up Subsidy Claim For Puppy (Sharon Elizabeth Tan Tai Ching)
15th May 2012, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/04/04/subsidy-f or-puppy-sharon-elizabeth-tan-tai-chings/
With reference to the above case where the puppy was treated for Intestinal Intussusception, there is a further bill from another clinic for RM718.60. However, the bulk of the bill is for 35 days of boarding, which we do not subsidise unless it is for the purpose of medical treatment which requires boarding. There is also a charge for bath and grooming which we do not subsidise.
Hence, as per our policy...

Visiting Yoshee After Surgery
15th May 2012, by AnimalCare
These are Yoshee’s leftover food, so I’m giving it all to Sree since it’s bought for Yoshee anyway. I thought she would be staying until Saturday (the initial plan) so I had stocked up on food for her.
This is the chicken stew I made yesterday. It’s chicken (thigh, keel, skin, liver and heart), carrot, celery and kelp. I added brown rice as well.
And the snack Nandhini bought for her.
The surgery went very well. Sree assisted the vet in the surgery. From the vet&...

This story goes back to 16th May 2011 when a student from my college, Jason and his girlfriend, Powie, found a small kitten in the middle of the road. The kitten was brought to our (then) panel vet, and was found to have umbilical hernia. Surgery was recommended for the hernia as well as amputation of the tail, but only after the kitten has grown bigger.

Yoshee’s Surgery Went Well
15th May 2012, by AnimalCare
Sree called me this morning, and I drove Yoshee to the clinic, with her toy, of course.
She was initially reluctant to get into the car. She doesn’t seem to be too happy with getting into a car. Instead, she led me to the gate, thinking we would be going for a walk (I had her leash on). Even her toy failed to entice her into the car.
So I carried her in and put her in the backseat, with her toy.
Sitting obediently as I looked back while we stopped at the traffic lights.
