  • RetroMAD1 and TVT

    We have very good news to share. A friend of mine used to think TVT was untreatable or that the treatment was terribly expensive until I told him it’s VERY treatable and affordable. In fact, TVT is one of the most treatable cancers in dogs and it often heals incredibly well with the proper treatment…

  • Updates on Wolverine

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/08/wolverine-and-mama-x-at-our-vets.html I texted Jessy Lian to check on Wolverine’s progress. Jessy said he is eating well, active, but is still wobbly. It is his wobblyness that still remains a mystery.  We shall see how he is again, soon.

  • All dogs go to heaven

    This evening, a rescuer I know had to make that very painful decision of having a sick puppy under her care put to sleep.She came by just now, to return the remaining RetroMAD1 to me. It had not worked on her puppy and the puppy was deteriorating to a state where she could not cope…

Wannie could not come, so her housemate, Alia, brought the cat, named Pecky.  Pecky wouldn’t come out, so the vet had…

  • Snowy Day 5 – to take RetroMAD1

    Since Snowy is FeLV positive, it occurred to me last night that rather than just providing palliative care for him, we could try RetroMAD1 as well.  So, first thing this morning I contacted the scientist and he said in their earlier trials, the drug did kill off human Non-Hodgkins Beta Lymphoma cells and did not…

  • Bobby’s lunch routine and other idiosyncracies
