  • The Cow story continues…

    So, after all the excitement this afternoon, Cow slept for hours. Translated, it means peace for me. By the time Baggy and I got back from the vet, Cow had just got up and I was glad to see the e-collar still intact while we were gone. I had half expected it to be out…

  • Baggy’s allergy

    Today has been a very busy day. Baggy has been having some hair loss spots around her neck for about a week. They look like a bite mark (just one dot) and there would be hair loss around it. Two days ago, I Frontlined everyone with Spot-On, and today, I noticed there was hair loss…

  • Caty and her best friends in her new home!

    Caty was once a sickly cat at a shopping mall in i-City. Koo rescued her and brought her to the vet for treatment. One eye had to be enucleated and subsequently Caty had a persistent flu. Koo fostered her until near-recovery and by then, we had found her a home. DT had very graciously agreed…

  • Dogfood fundraising for Meiji’s 139 dogs

    Meiji texted me today to say that she only has enough dogfood supply to last for another 20 days or so. She is currently looking after 139 dogs. There was a new female dog dumped at her sanctuary recently and the dog gave birth to a few puppies. Meiji has got some of the puppies…

  • Plan B for Cow’s wound healing

    Since iodine smarts and stings, and that is probably why Cow gets so angry whenever I apply the medication on his wound, I asked around and friends recommended Dermacyn, a super-oxidised solution for wound care: http://www.oculusis.com/mideast/is/dermacyn.php. Apparently, it heals wounds very quickly and is easy to use. So, it’s off to the pharmacy to hunt for…

  • And there is also this kind of fraud

    This morning, a vet called me. Apparently, a Ms So-And-So had brought a cat to their clinic a few days ago for eye enucleation. Ms So-And-So also informed the clinic that she would be claiming a subsidy from us. The vet called me to ask for Ms So-And-So’s contact number because when they called the number…

  • How do you solve a problem like Cow?

    There was the usual fussing about for Cow this morning, plus all the cleaning up. I figured since Cow hated to be caged, I might as well dismantle the cage. After all the cleaning up (and Bobby is having diarrhoea again), I drove over to the clinic to get more povidone iodine for Cow’s wound.…

  • MDDB’s Milo needs to be rehomed (from Wani Muthiah)

    Updates on 9th July – Adopted! MDDB’s Wani Muthiah has requested for us to post this. Please help spread the word. Milo the dog was found tied to an electrical pole in Segambut about a month ago. The pint-sized dog’s front and back paws as well as his neck was secured tightly to the post…

  • Being in a cage can be “fashionable” too….but not for Cow!

    Cow settled in for the night (thank goodness!) and we were both able to get some rest. However, he simply hates the cage, and the e-collar, of course. Yesterday, after I freed him from the cage, Bunny and Indy took turns to sleep inside the cage. Somehow, when something is not compulsorily enforced upon you,…

  • Yes, it’s going to be a long, long night with Cow

    Cow just tore off his e-collar.  I witnessed the whole thing. He scratched and simply tore the thing off.  Then he started licking his paw. Sigh…it’s always doubly hard to manage Cow because he simply hates having anything foreign done to him.  Managed to put the collar back, but for how long? If he tears…

  • Cow bites off his bandage…twice

    Barely an hour after coming back, suddenly I saw spurts of blood outside the door of the carrier. Cow’s e-collar was intact but he had bitten off the bandage and the wound was bleeding a little. His e-collar was blood stained. I tried to bandage it back, but he was too fierce and uncontrollable, so…

  • Cow’s back home!

    Everyone seemed to know that Cow would be going in for something since last night. It must be the vibes.  Last night, Tiger accompanied Cow wherever he went.  He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother…  Everyone was especially protective of Cow, somehow.  Cow was his usual self.  You can see that bad nail there.  This afternoon,…
