  • Do animals have emotions?

    My 5th Form English teacher and wonderful friend, Mrs Wong Yew Choong, sent me this link a moment ago: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/do-animals-have-emotions.html Please read it, it’s interesting.  Here’s one paragraph: Many researchers also recognize that we have to be anthropomorphic (attribute human traits to animals) when we discuss animal emotions, but that if we do it carefully,…

  • The S.W.A.T team goes into action!

    You might remember how Cleo escaped from outside Healing Rooms a few days ago and gave me a near heart-attack.  We found her after 3 hours, about 15 metres away from my car.  Flashback:http://animalcare.my/2009/10/cleo-ran-away-i-need-help-please.htmlhttp://animalcare.my/2009/10/we-found-cleo.htmlhttp://animalcare.my/2009/10/and-through-it-all.html Bringing the vet to the house to examine Cleo’s skin problem had also been a failure because she was too fierce…

  • Tiger…lost, and found!

    Not only is Mac the patient in the house, but you might remember also that Tiger has a limp (and actually needs to be caged for complete rest) and Cleo has that persistent skin problem.  So, after having attended to Mac, I had to look for Tiger.  He is usually in the neighbour’s house (his…

  • Mac is home, and another coup-de-tat…?

    I went down to the hospital today, after visiting JT.  Mac was due to the discharged.  When I reached the hospital, Mac was sleeping in the cage.  I spoke to the vets and one of them told me she knows why Mac’s voice is hoarse (yesterday, I told her Mac’s voice was very hoarse).  It…

  • John Terry gave us a fright!

    This morning, Yi Lin called saying JT (one of the football pups) seemed very ill late last night.  He was whimpering and could not wag his tail or even lift up his head.  Yi Lin separated him for the other puppies and put Mum-Chelsea with him.  So I said we would send JT to the…

  • Mac’s coming home tomorrow!

    Hi everyone.  Mac’s blood test results show an overall improvement on his urea and liver enzyme readings.  So, he will come home tomorrow, after two more doses of the steroid jabs.  Terry came along to visit Mac and take a look at the hospital.  When we saw him today, he was barking and complaining non-stop…

  • Whoosh….and they are adopted!!

    I put up this posting some time ago: http://animalcare.my/2009/10/five-kittens-up-for-adoption.html Today, a lady by the name of Jacqueline Sibert called me at 5.30pm, and asked for Tiger.  Tiger has been booked, so I directed her to our other latest kittens.  That was just maybe 5 hours ago, and I just received news from Wai Meng that…

  • Almost adopted….

    Remember us? Dante and Sokuso – the two adorable little black Labrador mix.  They almost got adopted today….read Teresa’s account: A lady called me after lunch time today & expressed interest in adopting Dante. She came over with her two lovely kids (still clad in their primary school uniform) to view both the black labrador mix…

  • Three more factory dogs sterilised!

    Here’s a report from Teresa Chian, our OKR representative: Adam & family managed to capture & transport only 4 adult dogs to be spayed & neutered at our panel vet today. 1 escaped and the remaining clan are puppies that are too young to be sterilised. There are an estimated number of 30+ dogs living…

  • Coup de tat (part 3)

    Tiger was given his name because of his stripes and a little orange patch on his nose.  But, he turned out to be our tamest cat (read Pawprints on My Heart – Tiger Tales, about how he tried to make friends with the neighbourhood dogs and got a fright of his life). So, as you…

  • Tiger visits Mac in hospital!

    Mac looks much better today.  He seems to be back to his old self this morning, barking non-stop.  When I reached the hospital, I saw the tubings all entangled and twisted so badly that I doubt the fluids could even flow through.  Well, that’s typical of Mac – that’s the way he is, so it was rather…

  • Terry has been re-adopted!!

    I posted Terry for adoption yesterday, and Daniel said he was bombarded with callers! After screening through the potential adopters, Daniel “awarded” the privilege to Robin. Here’s Robin with Terry last night. Have a great life, Terry!! Thanks, Daniel, for helping us out. 

  • Two male cats neutered today

    These two male cats were brought to our panel vet to be neutered today. The rescuer is Sumitra, and here’s something about the two cats:   Male cat. Young and very, very, very friendly. Comes to my balcony and behaves as though he has known us (my cat and I) for a long time.  In…
