  • Ozzy is safe and sound now (Melissa Kua’s)

    Melissa sent this photo of Ozzy. I guess a picture DOES paint a thousand words. Welcome home, Ozzy!

  • Stroby, female dog, spayed (Teresa Chian’s)

    Teresa Chian brought Stroby, her rescued female dog, to be spayed under our sponsorship today. Stroby is up for adoption: http://animalcare.my/2011/11/26/stroby-cute-little-doggie-for-adoption-teresa-chians/  

  • Indy has an infection

    The urine tests results are out. There is the presence of protein and a large number of leucocytes in Indy’s urine. These two results indicate that Indy has an infection. The specific gravity (S.G.) of Indy’s urine is only 1.02 (the normal reading should be 1.036). That has always been Indy’s problem all this while…

  • 2 male cats trapped, only 1 neutered (Cathy Thong’s)

    Cathy Thong texted me yesterday, asking if we could sponsor the neutering of a few new cats on our block (we stay on the same street). Of course we can sponsor, so Cathy set out her trap (she has purchased one of her own) and waited patiently. Two cats were trapped! They were brought to…

  • Indy has high fever

    It’s been a crazy day for me. A classic case of “it doesn’t rain, it pours”. I had to go to work today as there was a deadine to meet and an important meeting. Before that, I managed to get an appointment for Indy at our vet’s. Indy in the car. I dread taking Indy…

  • Good news for flat-dwellers in Wilayah Persekutuan

    I had heard from Andy Lew during the SPCA WAD event that flat-dwellers in Wilayah Persekutuan are now allowed to keep dogs. Yesterday, Andy forwarded a copy of the by-laws to me. It is entitled “Licensing of Dogs and Kennel Establishments (Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur) (Amendments) By-Laws 2011”, published on 30th September 2o11, Ref…

  • Lost toy poodle in USJ 5 (Sherlyn’s)

    I received this message from someone called Sherlyn: My toy poodle has been lost since 2/12/2011, around 12midnight. She ran out of the gate( Guest did not lock the gate ). She is brown in color, she has parts where the fur is darker than the rest. No fur as she was shaved. Sadly, not…

  • Now, Indy is sick

    Looks like it’s ’tis the season for faling sick in my household. I had noticed Indy being in his blue basket upstairs all day yesterday, but since I had been out and running around all day, I I thought I just happened to have found him in his basket or he was afraid because of…

  • Bluey news!!! (Andy Lew’s)

    Andy Lew sent this update and photos, photos, photos!! Dear Dr, Enclosed herewith the photos of Blueys during these long weekend. Failed to upload them to FB, no idea why. Anyway, they have been doing really well. They have really grow. Eating lots and lots. They finished up the 1.5 kg Feline Caviar in 2…

  • The Cow-Bunny saga continues at the vet’s…

    So, I managed to get an appointment first thing this morning. I cleaned the two carriers, sprayed them with Feliway (the happy hormone for cats), and… Plonk, plonk, I got the two of them inside the carriers. Poor fellows were sleeping, actually, but it’s for the greater good, guys, so sorry… Bunny sat at the…

  • Jilly the cat, a possible hit-and-run case (Emi Efee’s)

    I received this from Emi Efee two days ago: Hello there. I just want to ask. Can you really help to raise funds for a medical treatment? This is for a cat named Jilly. He was probably hit by a car. We found him at 12.30am this morning. He was bleading fron its mouth,nose and…

  • The Cow-Bunny saga continues…

    Now I vaguely remember why I never used to like public holidays when my children were young. Somehow, they would fall sick during these holidays and we’d be at our wits’ end looking for 24-hour clinics or rushing them to the emergency ward as their paediatrician would be on leave. So I used to dread…

  • The first close encounter of the Cow-Bunny kind

    Just now, we noticed that Cow’s right arm is swollen at the elbow. Perhaps he too got injured in last night’s fight. Soon, Tiger came to ask for his post-breakfast treat of Fussie Cat…. And Cow too came mewing for some… As soon as Bunny heard the opening of the can, he also came…so we…

  • Updates on Sugar (Eling Chan’s)

    Updates from Eling: Hi Dr. Chan, I would like to update you on Sugar’s progress.  She was discharged on the 5thDec and with me for the past week.  She is well behaved and likes staring at me but one thing she is so quiet make me feel weird on her. Is it normal?  She is good in appetite.…

  • The aftermath of yesterday’s Cow-Bunny War

    The sounds of Bunny vomiting on the foot of my bed woke me up this morning. However, it did not really look very serious. It wasn’t food, but just a small quantity of a slightly yellowish liquid. I felt his body and it wasn’t particularly warm. I came downstairs and Bunny ate his usual raw…
