    From: Donovan Chin <donovan.chin@gmail.com> Date: Thu, May 24, 2012 at 3:42 PM Subject: bernice@chee.com To: Chan Kah Yein <chankahyein@gmail.com> Dear Dr Chan, Remember the 2 cats, Grey and WhiteOne that AnimalCare help neuter/vaccinate and also advertise for adoption?

  • Baggy passes the first hurdle – eating on her own!

    I decided I’d try giving Baggy ID for a change of taste. My chicken stew may not be tasty enough to rekindle her taste buds. When Baggy heard me opening the can, she meowed….now, that’s a good reaction, I thought. So I dished a bit out with my finger and let her smell it. Not…

  • Karuna goes for walks! (updates from Uncle)

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/02/11/karunas-medical-treatment/ We managed to speak with Uncle yesterday and the good news is that Karuna now goes for walks with Uncle every day! Looks like it had taken months for Karuna to perk up and now she must be feeling much better than she was before as she looks forward to the daily walks with…

  • Updates on Sean (our distemper survivor, from his owner, Charlie)

    In our first year (2009), we did some rescue work, and one of our rescues was Sean. Sean was rescued from the Klang Dog Pound on the day he was due to be euthanised. He tested positive for distemper, but due to the benefit of youth, he only had a cough and some diarrhoea. He…

  • Yoshee is as happy as a lark in her new home

    Yoshee’s rehoming: http://animalcare.my/2012/05/19/yoshee-with-her-new-family/ I met Sree yesterday, and she told me all about Yoshee. Yoshee has made herself totally at home in Aunty’s (Sree’s mother-in-law’s) house and has become Aunty’s personal bodyguard. Aunty is also very fond of Yoshee (who wouldn’t be?). Perhaps the happiest of all is Yoshee’s little brother (named Puppy), the 4-month old…

  • Moki the Wobbly Cat (an animal rehabilitation fund)

    Sumitra shared another useful link: http://www.thewobblycat.com/ It’s a fund dedicated to rehabilitating special needs animals at shelters. Another area which we do not have, and can learn from!

  • Missing Pet Partnership – Search-and-Rescue for lost pets

    Sumitra shared this: http://www.missingpetpartnership.org/ This is definitely something we could learn from!  

  • The 3am feed for Baggy

    It’s strange how Cow did not wake me up today for feeds. Maybe they know Baggy is better already? But being the human (who doesn’t have the privilege of “knowing”), I woke up to check on Baggy and she seemed very much more alert now compared with yesterday. It’s 3am now and…. We have progressed…

  • And Baggy’s temperature is….

    38.3 degrees! …which is normal!  She’s busy grooming herself now, which I hope is indicative of her feeling better?    Will continue the small 1/2 teaspoon feeds and water. The next hurdle is to eat all by herself…. Thank you, everyone, for all your good wishes.

  • Baggy eats very small amounts, but force-fed

    From the time we came back from the clinic until now, Baggy has had 7 water-sipping sessions. It was at 3.00pm that I got a bit overly ambitious and gave her 6ml of water – she couldn’t take it; she vomited and had diarrhoea within 15 minutes. I contacted the vet and she said to…

  • Baby Mayo is in Rainbow Bridge (from Bernice Chee)

    This is sad and shocking, but it has already happened, so we ask for everyone’s sympathy and empathy. Please be restrained in your comments, if any. It helps also to remind ourselves that we too make mistakes and we do slip up once in a while. Baby Mayo had a good life, short but sweet…

  • Cici going in for glaucoma surgery tomorrow morning (Junaina’s)

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/05/10/cicis-visit-to-our-vet-annas/ Cici was adopted along with her entire family by Junaina (also known as Anna). However, Cici had a bulging eye, which our vet had identified as glaucoma that needed surgery sooner or later. Cici was only estimated to be 2 months old at that time (which was barely 2 weeks back). Junaina was told…

  • Karat the Cat is fine after surgery (Shaidatul’Aini’s)

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/05/21/oh-gosh-who-would-do-such-a-thing-shaidatulaini-mohd-shaaris/ Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/05/22/karat-is-neutered-and-back-home-shaidatulainis/ From Shaidatul today: Hi Kah Yein, As promised, Karat’s photos after the surgery.  The photo which shows Karats’ balls was taken last night (just before my camera went “konk”) & the other two was taken at 6.30 this morning.  Thus the fuzzy looking photos.  He wouldn’t sit still & clawing at the cage…
