Pole Protects Baggy, Bunny Attacks Pole�.poor Pole.

This morning, for the first time, I got to see Baggy defecating in the litter box and it’s all firm and nice, so that’s really good. I’m sure it’s been solid faeces earlier on as well because there has been no soft stool anywhere in the litter boxes or on the grass or floor, but I just had to see it for myself.

I suppose Baggy has fully recovered from her bout of diarrhoea but I’m not sure if she is slightly depressed. She’s been very quiet.

She’s not interested in playing with Tabs. But she does show interest in what goes on in the house.

During meal times, she comes out and mews for food. She has good appetite too.

We think (but we may be wrong) that Pole is protecting Baggy. It is either the “we are of the same colour” thingie or because Pole was the first to be introduced to Baggy when Baggy came to the clinic and Pole was there. �So, we figured there may be a sense of “I must look after you” in Pole.

�Pole watching over Baggy.

We did not actually expect this at all. We just thought maybe Tabs and Baggy will hit it off as buddies, but that has not happened yet. Tabs’ buddies are still Tiger and Indy.

Tabbies Inc.

We tabbies always watch each others’ backs.

I don’t really care what’s going on as long as nobody disturbs me.

Cleo is a classic Cleopatra case.

�Oh, Mr G is here, as usual, and Indy is the host for the day.

�In true Malaysian feline hospitality….

�Er…but Mr G, you dug a hole in our fence?

Now, this has to be repaired before Pole finds out about it and all hell breaks loose.

�There was a HUGE fight between Bunny and Pole two days ago. That morning, I came downstairs to find that my things had been pushed down from the desk, Pole’s ears were “flat” and Bunny was in “war” mode.

So the conjecture is that Bunny probably tried to bully Baggy, and Pole came to her rescue.
So, Bunny was angry at Pole.

�Poor Pole….

�Nobody messes with me. I’m the boss around here.

This is a Jabba-the-Hut pose?

Luckily all “fights” at Bunny’s Place are conducted verbally, not physically. It’s a lot of war cries and verbal threats of telling each other “I’m the boss around here”. The war cries can sound pretty bad, of course, but that’s as far as it gets, which is good. No physical violence. No biting, no scratching. We’re pretty civilised here. We only use our mouths. And Baggy has her “Meezers”, inherited from her Thai DNA, so that should be quite sufficient to fend off the aggressors.

�When I’m in my condo, nobody can touch me.�

There seems to be some rules around here, and everyone respects them, which is good.

�When I’m on my table, nobody can touch me also.

Yes, we are a law-abiding community here, so all is well.

I think I know why Bunny’s been acting cranky lately. He doesn’t feel too well. He’s been having a brownish eye discharge and is feeling a bit irritable. But he is still eating well, which is good.

So yesterday, I consulted Bunny’s vet who suggested that he be given RetroMAD1 since he is FIV+. Maybe this is a beginning symptom.

I’ve been getting the RetroMAD1 for many cases that came through us but Bunny has never been on it since he’s been well. Maybe it’s time to start him on it now. Bunny is six years old.

�So, I’ve got the RetroMAD1 now and it’s a month’s supply for Bunny.
I hope he feels better with it. He’s on Vetri DMG too.

Tiger is also FIV+, but he hasn’t shown any symptoms ever since his 3-session acupuncture which turned him around miraculously when 3 other vets had given up on him. That was 2 years ago.

Meanwhile, one of the vets whom I introduced RetroMAD1 to reports excellent results with it on her FIV+ cases. Previously, there was nothing that could help FIV, FeLV, Calicivirus and Canine Parvovirus. RetroMAD1 seemed to have changed this now. There is hope. And that is really, really good.

I’ve suggested to Maslinda to give RetroMAD1 to Super, pending advice from the vet. Super has the flu and is experiencing severe weight loss. We hope it will help Super recover.

Disclaimer: Our experience with the efficacy of RetroMAD1 is anecdotal, so please consult your veterinarian for professional advice.
