The 5 Kittens Are Doing Much Better Today 18th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
I popped into the clinic for a quick visit and the 5 kittens are doing much better today. The two sick ones look better too. I was worried the other three would come down with flu as well, but things look pretty good for now. Flu spreads within a 10 metre radius, so it's quite impossible to segregate them. Rani has offered to help foster them and look after them while they are at the clinic. Rani will take them home for the weekend. Bless her kind heart.  ...

Jenny's In Fine Fettle 18th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Jenny is as good as she can be. The vets are incredibly happy with her rate of recovery. Hey Jenny! She was so happy to see me (or anyone, for that matter!), she wagged her tail so happily.Lydia came later, to accompany another case at our vet's, and Jenny was equally happy to see Lydia too.Lydia has had much experience rehabilitating tripods (amputees). She says they always feel so much better after the "problem leg" is removed and hence, they become so much happier. &nb...

Bunny's Injured....again! 18th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Two nights ago, I heard sounds of fighting in the drain outside. I went out and heard Bunny's war-cry. A ginger-white cat has appeared in our area a few weeks back and Bunny has been protecting his territory. I tried to call Bunny out but he wouldn't come out and there was nothing much I could do since both of them were inside the drain. I didn't hear sounds of any fight, though, just the classic "war-cries". Last night, Ming-Yi said she felt a hard lump on Bunny. &...

Request To Help A Pet Cockerel 18th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
This is definitely a first. I received an email request to help a pet cockerel with an injured leg last night. I've consulted our vets and they said they do not have the medication for chickens, so they'd prefer not to. The best place would be UPM as there is a specialist for chickens there. Failing which, Zoo Negara is also possible, but only with contacts. If you know of any private vet who can treat pet chickens, do please leave a comment here.

A Sharing: A Poem To My Foster Dog 18th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Lydia sent this to me late last night. Thank you, Lydia.Hi Kah Yein,I just wanted to say I know how you feel wanting to spend every precious moment with your Sunshine Kits before they go off on their new journey.

Amber Horsey Had Tick Fever 18th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Updates on Amber Horsey:Horsey (her earlier name) was rescued by Joanne Lim, brought to our panel vet and found to have a compound fracture in her back leg which required amputation. The amputation was done and Lydia has been fostering Horsey (renamed Amber) since then, pending her rehoming. Recently, Amber Horsey came down with tick fever. She has since been treated, but it would be good for all of us to know what the symptoms are.Lydia writes:Here are some photos of Amber and...

A Football Game For The Sunny Kittens 17th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Ming-Yi is back and after having been gone for just 3 days, she says the Sunny Kittens are so much bigger now. I'm beginning to think Rex has some affinity with Calculus....from a previous life, perhaps... Ming-Yi made some paper footballs for them to play with. They love it! Yay!! It's definitely more fun than the store-bought ball with a bell. And...Rex gets the ball....no, wait...it's Fox. Yes, Fox has the ball now and she's heading straight for the...

The 5 Kittens 17th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
I went to check on the 5 kittens this afternoon.They were sleeping when I reached the clinic, but got up later and started to play. One of them has the flu, another is also coming down with it. A friend has found me a fosterer, but since they have the flu, I decided to let the vet treat them first. Get well soon, little kitties.

I'm watching them closely. I had just removed a tshirt and tucked the plastic bag behind the boxes. Honeybear was so attracted to it and...
