  • Please do NOT do this

    So far, I’ve had two receipts (with form) placed in my postbox, asking for subsidy claims but I do not even know who the requestors are. They had not contacted me prior to making the claim. If you wish for our help, please follow procedures: 1. Photo and write-up about the animal, sent by email…

  • Subsidy for Cody, puppy with demodex (Jennifer Lee Mathews’)

    I received this from Jennifer on 16th Feb: Hi Dr. Chan, I’m Jenn and I have emailed you before (Faith the mix husky and 2 lost dog notice). I’ve attached you 3 photos of a puppy (I named him Cody) which appeared around my neighborhood 2 months ago. That time his size is small…estimated about…

  • Female street-cat spayed (Mary Yap’s)

    Mary Yap sent this female cat who frequents the vicinity of her office area for spaying a few days ago, and we have sponsored RM100 for it.  She sure looks a lot like Indy (she even has the same Harry Potter lightning marking on the forehead, just like Indy)! Done! I know this is a…

  • Our ex-sporo cat, Puteri, having a time of her life now

    Puteri was a street cat, picked up by Mary Yap from Taman Tun. Puteri was initially diagnosed as having bad flu but later, it was found that the spot on her nose was a sporotrichosis infection. Puteri was treated for many months (we subsidised the treatment while Mary sponsored the boarding), and subsequently Puteri was…

  • Lilian Tong’s kitty, “Girl”, is doing well!

    From Lilian: Good morning Dr. Chan! Sorry for the late reply. It was a longggg day yesterday! After kitty’s checkup I went around town searching for a cage, hot water bottle, litter box.  After getting the cage, the litter-box and all her stuff, before I could set everything up, I needed to clean the apartment with…

  • Popeye is home and doing well!

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/02/25/ruptured-eyes-but-he-will-have-a-home-an-anonymous-angel/ Popeye (that would be his name now as he responded to it) is now home with his rescuer’s family and is doing well. If you want to see how bad Popeye’s eyes were before surgery, please click on the link above. The rescuer has requested anonymity which we shall respect, and she shares what…

  • Zippy news!

    I’ll let the photos tell the story….  Tabs also started putting out her paw to “feel” for the latch (just as Pole did yesterday). This little girl learns fast!  I do zips. I don’t need to undo latches.  This morning, Cleo zipped out and ran upstairs. I didn’t know why. Then, I found out –…

  • Feline Caviar’s grain-free formula for cats and new Canine Caviar formula for dogs

  • Let’s talk about food again, shall we?

    So, we’ve been talking a lot of the benefits of raw food and home-cooked for our animals, but granted, some of us cannot home-cook, while some of our pets refuse to take home-cooked and what more, raw, especially after they have been on kibble or wetfood for years. I’d like to adopt the moderate stand,…

  • Hermione is adopted!! (Chen Chen’s)

    From Chen: Hi Kah Yein, Affinity sure is strange. After I posted Hermione’s profile on Petfinder, my inbox was flooded with requests for her. This is a very nice welcome after being abandoned. Anyway, at the end, she went to a family today that has another kitten that she can play with and grow up…

  • Lilian Tong’s kitty given a clean bill of health at the vet’s

    From Lilian: Hi Dr C! Yep, I was out and about early in the morning and head to the vet’s, where I was greeted by a kind and friendly vet and his crew. He did a check up on kitty, was gentle and really friendly! She was administered with a deworming medication and sprayed with…

  • Litter tales at Bunny’s Place

    So, I’ve been experimenting with Cat’s Pride and Breeder Celect (paper-litter) for a week now, besides still using Ever Clean. Here’s the verdict: 1. Tabs took to Cat’s Pride instantly, so I suspect that’s the cat litter her former home must have used. But she only pees in it, not poo.  For poo, she still…

  • “Can See” for Bobby!

    Finally, the Can See eyedrops arrived yesterday morning and I was thrilled to bits! http://wisechoicemedicine.net/store/information.php?info_id=11 http://www.can-c.net/success.php (testimonies) It is an eyedrop to address the problem of cataracts, and it’s meant for humans but pet owners have used it successfully in the treatment of cataracts in dogs, too. If only I had known about it earlier before…

  • More jailbreak and zippy attempts

    Ever since the fool-proof maximum security cat-grille went up, there had been NO jailbreaks so far, but there were many zippy attempts by Cleo (all successful) and Tabs (quite successful).        Tabs is actually incredibly smart. She has perfected the skill of hiding against the wooden door, pressing her body onto the door…
