  • An appeal from Kota Kinabalu

    Today, this was posted as a comment in one of my February postings on the Selayang Dog Pound rescue.  I thought I should reproduce it here for everyone to read: Hi, I am from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

  • Cat with hernia

    Yesterday, Ah Fatt sent two female cats for spaying.  According to the vet, when he did the procedure on one of the cats, it was discovered that the cat had hernia.  It was quite a long muscle tear from the last nipple all the way to the bottom.  The vet said it appeared to have resulted…

  • The uncanny abilities of some animals

    Whether you are a football fan or not, you might have heard about Paul the Octopus’ uncanny ability to correctly predict the winner of six matches so far. Paul swims to the winner’s box. How does Paul know?http://www.thefinalthird.com/2010/07/04/paul-the-german-octopus-picks-spain/ Paul’s predictions have been spot-on.  It seems a Singaporean parakeet, Mani, is following in Paul’s footsteps:http://f4s.in/sports/mani-the-parakeet-parrot-predicts-fifa-world-cup-2010-correctly/

  • Helping a paralysed dog

    MDDB rescued a paralysed dog sometime ago, and the dog has been boarding at a clinic since then.  Initially, the paralysed limb did not show any response at all, but lately, there has been some progress.  MDDB is considering acupuncture to help her.  We have given a donation to help subsidise the dog’s medical bills.  When…

  • Can anyone help?

    A few months ago, a feeder contacted me to ask for help in spaying and neutering the many stray dogs that he feeds in his neighbourhood.  I said we would definitely help him with the spaying-neutering of the stray dogs, but he would have to catch the dogs and send them to our panel clinics.…

  • Best of friends – an orang utan and a dog

    This email has been in the circuit for some time.  In case you have not seen it, here it is.  If you have already seen it (many times, as I have!), won’t hurt to look at it again….and smile.  There have been many stories of orang utans, chimpanzees and monkeys becoming caring friends to dogs,…
