  • A third panel vet for Subang Jaya folks!

    As promised, I have now enlisted the help of a third panel vet to do spay-neuter for our One-Street CNRM programme for Subang Jaya and USJ. However, the rates are a wee bit higher and just like our other vets, there is also no boarding.  We need to understand that the strays that we bring…

  • The prognosis of Bushytail’s condition

    I stopped by twice yesterday, to check on Bushytail’s condition. The prognosis remains grave even though Bushytail is hanging on.  The senior vet explained to me just what had happened and how badly infected Bushytail’s mammary glands were (and still are).  From the diagram drawn, it appeared that the skin on her entire underside would…

  • The BFM 89.9 experience

    In one word….it was real FUN! Chwi Lynn and Meera Sivajothy were so hospitable, they made me feel right at home.  Being inside the studio was such an enjoyable experience, too. However, time passed SO fast while the interview was on.  Of course it would, especially if you had so much more to say! What…

  • Bushytail’s kittens – another passes away

    Poor little kittens.  After the passing of the weakest one, another developed diarrhoea this morning.  I sought advice from the vet and she agreed that we could try giving glucose water for 2 feeds and slowly reintroduce milk. Sudhamma did that, but the poor thing passed away by afternoon. Again, we hope the kitten is…

  • Bushytail’s surgery has been successful!

    Bushytail’s surgery went unexpectedly well today.  There was no messy bleeding and her PCV was good enough, so blood transfusion was not even necessary.  She was also very stable throughout the entire surgery.  That, is a very good sign.  However, the vets could not remove all of the infected parts as the infection of the mammary…

  • Bushytail’s youngest kitten passed away last night

    The poor thing did not make it.  That’s the one who had fallen into the deep drain earlier and also the smallest in size.  Sudhamma texted me just now to say he (or she) had passed away last night.  May he (she) be in a better existence now.  Please send positive thoughts.  Many thanks to Bro…

  • Please pray for Bushytail

    This morning, Bushytail will be going in for surgery to remove her two infected mammary glands (mastitis) and the infected uterus (pyometra).  Initially, the surgery for the mastitis was supposed to be delayed until next week when she is (hopefully) stronger after a course of antibiotics and IV-drips, but upon discovery of the pyometra yesterday evening,…

  • The Sunny Kittens’ hair-styling experience

    Uncle Bobby’s been long overdue for a haircut.  So, my husband finally got down to doing it this afternoon.  Rex was extremely fascinated and stood totally transfixed by the whole thing.  It sure looks like a lot of fun, he thinks…  I guess he was hoping he’d get a haircut too….  He didn’t get one,…

  • What is a “Cat Castle”?

    Jessy Lian sent me these pictures: It’s a Cat Castle, and you can make it out of any cardbox carton! Thanks, Jessy!

  • Emergency surgery tomorrow for Bushytail (pyometra & mastitis)

    The vet has just called me.  They have found a more serious and life-threatening condition in Bushytail – she has pyometra (infection of the uterus).  The mammary gland infection is already life-threatening.  Now, coupled with the pyometra, surgery cannot be postponed.  Bushytail’s chances of survival is 50%.  The vet, in her professional opinion, has given…

  • Mother-cat with infected mammary glands (mastitis)

    Two days ago, Sudhamma Chua had texted me about a mother-cat who had disappeared leaving her five newborns behind.  I told Sudhamma what to do for the newborns, based on whatever I knew – syringe-feed Pets Own Milk, keep them warm and stimulate the privates to make them pee and poop.  Yesterday, Sudhamma said the…

  • The money is yours but the resources belong to the society

    I received this forwarded email and although it is not about animals per se, I feel it’s useful to share it with all of you. THE MONEY IS YOURS BUT THE RESOURCES BELONG TO THE SOCIETY A good lesson to remember . . Germany is a highly industrialized country. It produces top brands like Benz,…

  • “We’re eating kibble now…”

    Photo updates: We’re getting tired of milk, can we have some of Uncle Bobby’s food?  Bunny normally cleans up left-overs, but he walks away and lets Fox and Rex sniff at the food.  No, don’t worry, they did not eat any of the chicken.  I took it away.   Fox looks at the ball, but doesn’t…
