  • Why we are a no-kill medical fund

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/04/27/sweetheart-is-this-what-you-would-have-wanted-a-reflection-on-euthanasia/ A reader seems very upset (please see comments in post above) and she is of the opinion that we are condemning people who opt for euthanasia for their pets or rescues and that we are saying that it is wrong. Let me clarify here, and this is our official stand, that we are promoting…

  • Updates on the mother-dog and puppies (Kelly Tan’s)

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/04/22/what-went-wrong-for-the-7-puppies-and-their-mother/ The mother-dog whom two vets rejected, has been nursed back to health by the caregiver, Kelly Tan. She handfed the dog Aloe Vera and that seemed to help a lot. According to our contact in Ipoh, Ms Lee, the mother-dog is now fine. The surviving puppies are all fine as well. All in all,…

  • All’s well for the two cruelty cases (Teresa Chian’s)

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/04/27/help-needed-for-two-cruelty-cases-teresa-chians/ Teresa called this afternoon to say she has already rehomed Case 2, and Case 1 has been taken from the owner, and is now under treatment at the vet’s. We’ve already got PAWS on standby to take in Case 1 should Teresa fail to find an adopter, and we have pledged our medical subsidy…

  • Baloo Bluey is not well (Andy Lew’s)

    Two days ago, Andy Lew called to say Baloo did not look well and he had already scheduled an appointment for her. Yesterday morning, he brought Baloo to see the vet and the vet did not quite find anything wrong. Maybe it was just a cold. So Baloo was given antibiotics (Clavomox) and Vetri DMG.…

  • Indy says “thank you”!

    I’m feeling much better now. Thank you, Aunties and Uncles, for praying for me. And mum can go to Dataran Merdeka tomorrow….I’ll be fine, I have my Ultraman with me.

  • And there’s Silvervine powder as well….

    Bernice bought my cats a treat…  A Daiso product  It comes in sachets.  Tabs went absolutely crazy over it!    Indy wanted to know what the commotion was all about.  Sniff, Cleo.  Cleo, our very own Bastet Queen, also “let her hair down” and went completely gaga. You’d never catch her going gaga over anything,…

  • Dogs can detect cancer with high accuracy levels

    A friend sent me this link: http://www.yourhealth.com.sg/content/dog-can-detect-cancer-high-accuracy-levels He suggested that we work with dog trainers to train street dogs to do this, then, to put it bluntly, there would be some “use” for these dogs, and the shelters might not have to have them euthanised. Of course it is a good idea, but do we…

  • The 6 puppies and mum are safe and sound! (Edward Lee’s)

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/04/27/who-took-the-6-puppies-away-edward-lees/ What a relief! Edward just wrote to say his colleague has found the 6 puppies. Apparently, the mother-dog moved them to another spot near a construction site. So all is well and safe now. Sorry for the false alarm!

  • Mr G’s owner comes a-knocking….

    My doorbell rang just now and a lady was at my gate. She was looking for her cat, “Ten” and wonders if Ten had come into my house. She said she lives behind my house. Well, what do you know, she is Mr G’s owner! And here’s Mr G’s real name – “Jelly”, and guess…

  • “Sweetheart, is this what you would have wanted?” – a reflection on euthanasia

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/04/26/can-we-neuter-our-way-out-of-killing/ Remember yesterday’s article which I posted (link above) about rehoming being more important than neutering and urging shelters to be no-kill ones? I sent the article to two shelter managers and I did not receive a straight-off “No” from them. Rather, one replied saying their shelter is working towards no-kill. The other said theirs…

  • Medical subsidy of RM1150 banked-in for Kucing, Kamaruzaman’s cat

The fostering period is 2 weeks (please see below) and the fosterer is preferably located near Dr Dev’s clinic:…

If you know who it is, could you please give him a lead on this?  We hope it is a rescuer and not the authorities. Kindly leave a…

Can you please highlight these cases on your website so that I can get some suggestions on what to do please? Appreciate your suggestions. Thank you. ———- Please see attached pictures. Case 1 is…

  • Lost doberman (Christine Chew’s)

  • Indy’s acupuncture today

    Indy had his acupuncture treatment today…  After the needles went in, he was put in the carrier, as usual. He complained and tried to open the lock. I think he was already feeling better compared to the last two days when all he did was to sleep. Well, sleep is very healing; that’s when the…
