Bagheera Drinks More Milk! 7th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
The Blueys got up after that second feed and started mewing loudly.We want more! We want more!Great news.....over one hour or so, Bagheera drank 3ml of milk! He only takes about 0.5ml each time, and his feeding needs to be spread out. Well, that's how mother-cats feed also, isn't it? It's feeding on demand.After a feed, I put them back and they would play for awhile before mewing again. That means they want milk again.So, in this way, they know how to ask for milk when hungry. Baloo drank a...

Bluepoints In The Afternooon 7th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
The Blueys slept after that first feed and I managed to grab a quick bite. Hadn't had lunch yet...was rushing all the way today.Now, to prepare the hot water gloves.... Surgical gloves. Here is a piece. Fill them with water, tie them securely. Make sure there are no leaks.You can microwave them, but I don't have a microwave oven, so I boiled them in a pot of water till it's hot enough. Not too hot, because the gloves might tear. Winnie had brought these water-proof bags, whic...

From Koo:Hi Dr Chan, It would be very much appreciated if you could publicise this rescue case on your AnimalCare blog: On Wednesday, 24 August 2011, a Malay female bus commuter alerted MDDB that there was a stranded dog at the Taman Wahyu KTM Komuter station at Jalan Ipoh, KL. Rescuers, including me, could not locate the dog initially as we could only search in the dark after working hours. On Saturday, 27 August 2011, I woke up early in the morning to ...

It's Raining Bluepoints....again! 7th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Winnie texted today to say the mother-cat did come back, but would only look at the two kittens and then go away. So Winnie was worried there would be no one to feed these kittens this afternoon while she was at work. It so happened my classes are in the morning today, so I said I'd look after them for today.Came home after visiting Hero, prepared the carrier and the stuff that kittens need and waited for the arrival of the bluepoints....The kittens came in a carefully prepared shoebox which had...

Our Hero (Day 1 After The Surgery) 7th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Our vet stayed back till very late last night after closing time to ensure Hero was fine before he went home. What was thought to be a simple surgery turned out to be not so simple after all because when opened up, it appeared that the hernia must have been there for quite sometime as some of the organs that have fallen out had attached themselves to the "wrong places" and these had to be "detached" and pushed back to the right places. I rushed over to see Hero right after work just n...

An S.O.S. - Bluepoint Kitty-Siblings Just Rescued 6th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Winnie Low texted me to say she had just found a litter of two kittens. I asked how big they are and if their eyes were already opened, and she said the eyes are opened but the two kittens are of different sizes....(isn't that strange?).Anyway, I gave her instructions on what to do:1. Buy kitten milk to feed them. Small amounts at regular intervals, 1-2 hourlyy. Do NOT overfeed.2. Keep them warm with hot water bottles and towels. 3. Massage tummy and privates to make them pee and poo.All se...

Visiting Don Don & His New Friends At The Vet's 6th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
I made a trip to the vet's this evening to settle this week's bills. Hello there....and who might you all be?Why, it's Alarie's kittens. Alarie had written to me for financial assistance with a mother-cat and three kittens. I offered to get the family dewormed and the mother-cat checked, but Alarie had already placed the kittens here in this clinic for adoption. That's definitely even better!They are such pretty little things too...Interested? Please contact Mayo Clinic on 03-56377026 and a...

And A Hero Comes Along... 6th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Today was Hero's scheduled surgery for the hernia and his neutering.These are the photos taken last week when Hero was first brought in by Azie. Hero came to Azie's house on his own and Azie noticed a big bulge (lump) on his underside.This bulge is actually due to a hernia where there is a tear inside, and the organs have "fallen" through, thus causing this bulge that hangs down when Hero stands up. We could push the organs back while at the clinic, but the bulge would appear again the mome...

This One Could Be Their Own Cat (Cruelty At Boarding House) 6th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Someone sent me this link: https://www.facebook.com/?sk=ru#!/photo .php?fbid=1178093028786&set=a.1082886168674.10 386.1721944222&type=1&theater It shows a photograph of the operators' own cats. I think one of the cats currently boarded at the vet's could be the cream-coloured cat in the photograph. If it is, then it is their own cat. This one. Maslinda and I are trying to determine if it could be one of their cats. It looks very similar in colour, but we cannot compare the...

The 3 Cats At The Vet (Cruelty At Boarding House) 6th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
I went to visit the three cats this afternoon and met Maslinda there. I have already spoken to the person-in-charge in KTAJ, Mira Ahmad, and she says I am to liaise with Maslinda over these 3 cats. Our concern is to get these 3 cats back to health and discharge them from the clinic. There are already ready fosterers waiting to help. If these were former pets, they would definitely do better in a home with love and care. Currently, they are in a big room all by themselves, so th...
