  • Further updates on Imm’s shelter

    Please refer to http://animalcare.my/2011/02/countess-3-legged-dog-in-need-of-help.html Countess’ surgery (spaying and amputation of the maggot-eaten arm) was uneventful and hence, successful.  We were initially worried about her marginal bloodwork, but after being perked up for two days on rice and eggs, our vet felt she was ready for the surgery.  In fact, the first thing she did when…

Updates: 1.  A few friends are now sourcing for help from Ipoh residents.  2.  Through the help of a reader of this blog, Ellen Chan from Seberang Perai, we are now asking someone in Taiping if he would be interested to take over the shelter.  Apparently, this gentleman…

  • VERY URGENT – help needed for 59 cats and dogs

  • Eating Meat = Catastrophe Squared (A twist to E=mc^2)

    While we seem to be concentrating a lot on helping stray animals, I started AnimalCare with a three-pronged mission and our third mission is to cultivate kindness/compassion to animals through education.  Being kind to animals includes not eating them, and not creating a demand for meat.  Adopting a moderate stand on this, I’ve always encouraged…

  • Updates on Countess’ bloodwork results

    Our vet called me today to inform me that Countess’ bloodwork results are back and it’s “not fantastic”.  Her readings are borderline, just slightly above the minimum requirement.  The vet says it is possible to go ahead with the surgery, if we wish.  But she is also extremely skinny and undernourished.  I decided we must…
