  • Ronnie has melanoma

    Sometime last week, Koo wrote to me about a rescued stray dog with a black tumour on his tongue:My neighbors found a stray dog which initially was limping badly after falling into a drain.  They are temporarily keeping him inside an empty house with the permission of the owner who has recently sold the house and…

  • Beware of such adopters (Bruce is gone)

    If you remember, Weiwen is the young rescuer who rescued and took care of (and did a great job, too) four baby kittens, whom she named Bruce, Donnie, Jet and Jackie. The last I heard from Weiwen, the four kittens were doing very well, and had even recovered from watery poop.  Bruce was the strongest…

  • Be nice to Bunnies – Bob Barker wants you to be a caring consumer

    This is one thing I have been championing, albeit on a long lonely journey, since I was 14 years old.I’ll let Bob Barker talk to you about it: (There’s kindness written all over his face, don’t you agree?

  • Indy’s blood test and urine test results

    Indy’s blood test shows his creatinine and urea are within the normal range. The urine results done at the lab shows normal pH and no presence of any protein in the urine at all (hooray). BUT….the initial test at the clinic (done with a test kit, and hence, may not be accurate) showed the presence…

  • Looking after a loyal friend – our cats and Bobby

    Bobby is 15 years old and blind now (because of cataracts). He is still quite perky, especially when I come home from work – that’s when you’ll see him bouncing up and down like a little puppy, getting all excited and (unfortunately) banging into the furniture legs and the wall (but no serious injuries, just…

  • Visiting Karuna

    Here are some pictures taken over two trips to my mum’s place:  Hi, Karuna!  My children and husband, meeting Karuna for the first time.  My mum is concerned why Karuna sits this way (look at her hind legs). She cannot seem to stretch her legs out. But I think it’s a small worry for such…

  • Indy at the vet’s

    I have been rather concerned about Indy’s excessive water-drinking. I’ve mentioned this to the vets before, so I thought to be safe, I’ll better bring him in for a check-up this morning.Since young, Indy has developed this habit of drinking running water from the tap. We suspect it was Vixey who taught him that he…

  • Wolverine and X-friends at the vet’s (Jessy Lian’s rescues)

The vet said…
