Updates On Bushytail
11th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Latest news....Bushytail has improved! At least that's what I've got from the vet's assistant. The vet is just too busy on a Saturday to take calls, so I won't disturb him unnecessarily.Meanwhile, CP and her husband, Lim, dropped by this morning as CP has been collecting tshirt orders for us (thank you so much!), and CP and Lim has offered to go do energy healing for Bushytail this morning. Thank you, CP and Lim. That's exactly what Bushytail needs right now - spiritual h...

The Tide Turns....(Newton's Third Law At Work)
11th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Remember how Pole did not dare come back because (we found out later) Indy had been "ambushing" her? So, we had to go to the neighbour's to carry Pole back for about five days before she regained her confidence to come home for meals, and in the meantime, Indy also got told off for his unbecoming attitude. Well, guess what....the tide has turned now (so fast?)....These few days, Indy has not been coming back and it's Pole ambushing him! And since Pole comes from the Cow&Bun...

Heartfelt Thanks To Our Vets (Bushytail's Surgery)
11th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
I learnt from the vet's assistant yesterday that the pyometra in Bushytail was only detected late Thursday evening when pus flowed out from Bushytail's vulva. In fact, it sort of "flooded" the tray of the cage. That indicated that it was really bad. Very bad.But the vets had just forcefed Bushytail that afternoon because the plan (and that was our decision, too) was to opt for the less risky of the two options, ie. between immediate surgery for the necrotising mastiti...

A Third Panel Vet For Subang Jaya Folks!
11th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
As promised, I have now enlisted the help of a third panel vet to do spay-neuter for our One-Street CNRM programme for Subang Jaya and USJ. However, the rates are a wee bit higher and just like our other vets, there is also no boarding. We need to understand that the strays that we bring in may carry diseases and there are other boarded pets in the clinic, so we should not insist on boarding because it could lead to an outbreak of disease at the clinic. Most clinics do not have ...

The Prognosis Of Bushytail's Condition
11th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
I stopped by twice yesterday, to check on Bushytail's condition.The prognosis remains grave even though Bushytail is hanging on. The senior vet explained to me just what had happened and how badly infected Bushytail's mammary glands were (and still are). From the diagram drawn, it appeared that the skin on her entire underside would have had to be removed if all the infection was to be removed. This, of course, was not possible, so they could only remove the worst of the infect...

The BFM 89.9 Experience
10th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
In one word....it was real FUN!Chwi Lynn and Meera Sivajothy were so hospitable, they made me feel right at home. Being inside the studio was such an enjoyable experience, too.However, time passed SO fast while the interview was on. Of course it would, especially if you had so much more to say!What I liked most of all was their punctuality and adherence to time. Well, of course they would have to - it's radio! It's just so nice to do things when time is given due respect....

Poor little kittens. After the passing of the weakest one, another developed diarrhoea this morning. I sought advice from the vet and she agreed that we could try giving glucose water for 2 feeds and slowly reintroduce milk.Sudhamma did that, but the poor thing passed away by afternoon.Again, we hope the kitten is in a better existence now. From five, it's down the three now....

Shihtzu For Adoption – 2 Years Old

Paws Mission received SOS message from one rescuer: My relative operates a pet shop and one day one indian guy brought a male shihtzu about 2 to 3 yrs (fur in terrible conditions and blinded in one eye) to her shop for grooming. After leaving the dog there this man did not come back for the dog. Now the dog has been boarding at this pet shop for almost 2 months already. I have asked her to e-mail me the photo. She told me the dog is very good dog and does not...

Updates On Merry (part 3)
10th Jun 2011, by Second Chance
Received email from Ai Ney on Merry’s Update. It’s been slightly more than 1 month since Merry’s surgery on her 2 hind legs with severe luxating patella. Her right hind leg, which was more severely handicapped than the left, was operated on twice as the vet wanted to correct the leg as best he could. Sometimes, Merry would be limping with 3 legs, and other times, she walks fine on all fours. Nevertheless, Merry can now walk much better and even run! Our heartfelt gratitude goes to ...

Bushytail's Surgery Has Been Successful!
10th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Bushytail's surgery went unexpectedly well today. There was no messy bleeding and her PCV was good enough, so blood transfusion was not even necessary. She was also very stable throughout the entire surgery. That, is a very good sign. However, the vets could not remove all of the infected parts as the infection of the mammary glands had spread down to the other glands as well. To remove all would mean there would not be enough skin to pull together for suture.&...

10th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
The poor thing did not make it. That's the one who had fallen into the deep drain earlier and also the smallest in size. Sudhamma texted me just now to say he (or she) had passed away last night. May he (she) be in a better existence now. Please send positive thoughts. Many thanks to Bro Sze Too for volunteering to help Sudhamma give the little one a proper burial. Bushytail will be going in for surgery this morning. Please wish her well, and her fo...

Please Pray For Bushytail
10th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
This morning, Bushytail will be going in for surgery to remove her two infected mammary glands (mastitis) and the infected uterus (pyometra). Initially, the surgery for the mastitis was supposed to be delayed until next week when she is (hopefully) stronger after a course of antibiotics and IV-drips, but upon discovery of the pyometra yesterday evening, the surgery simply cannot be delayed anymore. Bushytail is in a very critical state as the infections have resulted in her bein...

The Sunny Kittens' Hair-Styling Experience
9th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
Uncle Bobby's been long overdue for a haircut. So, my husband finally got down to doing it this afternoon. Rex was extremely fascinated and stood totally transfixed by the whole thing. It sure looks like a lot of fun, he thinks... I guess he was hoping he'd get a haircut too.... He didn't get one, so he walked back into the room, quite dejected...(Oh, he's just been frontlined in the morning, hence, the punk look!) Er no...he wasn't dejected...he brought reinforce...

Emergency Surgery Tomorrow For Bushytail (pyometra & Mastitis)
9th Jun 2011, by AnimalCare
The vet has just called me. They have found a more serious and life-threatening condition in Bushytail - she has pyometra (infection of the uterus). The mammary gland infection is already life-threatening. Now, coupled with the pyometra, surgery cannot be postponed. Bushytail's chances of survival is 50%. The vet, in her professional opinion, has given us the option of having Bushytail put down, but we cannot do that. We have never done that. So, the sur...
