  • Spaying subsidy for a female cat (Hew Sook Yean’s)

One of our former panel vets have been recommending…

  • Methycobal for Indy

    The vet told me yesterday that between Neurobion and Methycobal, the latter is more potent since it has B12. So, this evening, I went to check at the local pharmacy and the pharmacist also recommended Methycobal for nerve ailment.

  • Indy is still a bit feverish

  • Indy’s urine test results

    The clinic’s number appeared on my phone, and it was the vet with Indy’s urine test results. Everything appears to be normal except that there is an elevated number of Leucocytes (white blood cells) in the urine. This indicates that there is probably an infection. However, the reading isn’t alarmingly high. The normal reading is…
