  • Many thanks to Pet Epicure

    We’d like to express our most sincere appreciation to Alicia Ling Hoseley of Pet Epicure, who has so graciously donated the proceeds from the tickets she sold for The Raw Truth talk recently, to our general fund. Thank you very much, Alicia. Alicia sells homemade BARF for dogs and cats.  She and sister, Olivia, are also…

  • Patch, a one-eyed dog, looking for a loving home

    I received this from Sheila and Mr Wan (the kind man who offered to adopt the Three Musketeers earlier on today).  It is about Patch, a one-eyed dog. Here’s the link at petfinder.my:  http://www.petfinder.my/pets/8200/ Here’s the story, from Mr Wan:Hi all.. I am sorry to post this but I am lost and do not have…

  • Little Tiger (the dog) has been adopted!

    Sometime ago, we put up a posting for Little Tiger, a puppy rescued and fostered by Mandy Chee and her family.  Mandy emailed to say that Little Tiger has already been adopted, by a first-time dog owner, but a very responsible one.   Here, why don’t I just let Mandy tell the story?  Nothing like first-hand…

  • The Three Musketeers’ saviours!

    Would you believe it?  Just as I was rushing around and making phonecalls for Puppykins and the Three Musketeers, I received a phonecall from a Mr Wan from Bkt Jalil who offered to adopt (!!) the three kittens.  I couldn’t believe my ears.  Mr Wan says he has looked after such young kittens before and…

  • Factory puppy’s leg to be amputated

    On 26th October 09, I put up this posting: http://animalcare.my/2009/10/more-factory-dogs-to-be-sterilised.html It was about this factory puppy who had been hit by a vehicle and the factor owners (a Mr Lee and a Mr Chong) had brought him in for treatment.  The vets’ first recommendation was to amputate the leg because the femur was already jutting out.   But the factory owners appealed to…

  • The 3 musketeers need fostering – Urgent

    Here are the kittens I was writing about in the previous posting.  They just lost their mother about 2-3 hours ago.  She was accidentally run over by the man who was looking after them and he feels really bad about it.  It was an accident and totally unintentional.  These things do happen. But let’s do…

  • S.O.S – fosterer needed for three 2 week old kittens

    I just received an S.O.S from my friend, Cathy.  This is a really tragic case.  A man had been looking after a mother-cat and her newborns, but today, he accidentally ran over the mother, so the kittens are without a mother now. There are three kittens, and all have just opened their eyes.  They are…

  • Dry food vs wet food

    The ongoing dilemma, yah?  Should you feed dry or wet food?  The vets would tell you dry food is the best while the naturalists would be championing wet food (raw and real).  I’ve had my dilemma too.  I started with premium kibbles because the vets convinced me it was better.  Later, the fact that kibbles…

  • Tiger’s first acupuncture session with Dr Susanna Brida

    After I contacted Dr Susanna Brida early this morning to make an appointment for Tiger, she sent me a long email, with 32 preliminary personalised questions so that she may know Tiger’s background better.  I was very impressed with the meticulous and caring way she approaches each patient, and answered as best I could, providing…

  • A female dog from PJ Old Town spayed

    Today, Teresa brought Sis Lan and one of the many stray dogs that are being fed by Sis Lan, to be spayed at our panel vet.  Here’s the dog (sorry, photo taken with my hp). The dog was salivating in the car because she was nervous. Ahh…here’s a better photo.  She seems quite curious, but…

  • Acupuncture for Tiger

    My friend, Alicia, told me about an animal acupuncturist a few weeks ago, but at that time, I had no case that required help. And yesterday, Kelvin Ng wrote to say a certain acupuncturist had done wonders on Legacy, the dog he had rescued off the street (please see previous posting).  Coincidentally, at the Cat…

  • Mac is much better now

    We were told last week that Mac was dying and his ruptured cornea would not heal.  The eyedrop would just prevent it from getting worse, and it would be good enough if the condition of his eye remains status quo. After more than a week’s medication and nursing care, Mac seems much better now.  Last…

  • The KL International Cat Show, at The Mall

    Whoosh…what a long day!  We managed to sell quite a number of tshirts at the event today.  I guess the response is always better when the crowd consists of animal-lovers, or, in this event, cat-lovers. We were really very touched when several people who had bought our tshirt immediately went to change into it and…

  • Quick updates on Ebru

    Adah wrote to say that Ebru is eating!  That’s good news.  Whenever an animal stops eating, it is a cause for worry.  As the vet said yesterday, Ebru is probably quite stressed from being carted from one place to another within the short span of just one week.  From the cafe, to the vet’s, and…

  • Our last word on the Chow Chow

    For those of you who are interested in the Chow Chow’s progress, please write to me at chankahyein@gmail.com and I will direct you to the shelter from which he came.  I have also been told by the staff who is dealing with this case that she already had, to begin with, sufficient funds for the…
