    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2014/05/24/urgent-your-prayers-please-for-batgirl-wong-yoke-meis/ Sadly, Batgirl did not make it.

  • The cartoon that broke Morrisey’s heart

    This is from PETA:   Here is the link to the cartoon that broke Morrisey’s heart: http://www.peta.org/features/morrissey-opening-act/?utm_campaign=052314&utm_source=PETA%20E-Mail&utm_medium=Alert I don’t normally want to watch these videos because I know it will break my heart, but I have to watch something before I post it, so I did. At 30 seconds, your eyes will start to get wet.…

  • Bunny at breakfast

    Bunny’s appetite is as usual this morning – good. I didn’t detect any fever either, which is good. I gave him Vetri DMG and Transfer Factor. The good news is that I cannot find anymore soggy mass around the wound. The wound looks like it’s healing too. Of course, I sprayed the pet spray on…

  • Ultraman to cheer Bunny up

    Not that he needed cheering up as Bunny seemed so “selamba” (I cannot find an English equivalent for this word!) about his wound, but I thought a toy would be good for him. So I rubbed some silvervine powder on Indy’s Ultraman pillow and… As always, Indy would go a dog-down pose before his Ultraman…

  • Bunny has a 0.5cm wound

    This afternoon, at about 4pm, I noticed pink droplets on the floor in the room. It was puzzling and I didn’t think of checking the cats. The droplets were not bloody; just pinkish liquid. There has been vomiting going on due to hairball inside and outside, so I brushed the droplets aside thinking it could…

  • Purrfect Bistro Healthy Weight (aka “weight control”)

    When Merrick’s Purrfect Bistro was first introduced to the Malaysian market in October 2013, all our cats had a go at it: http://animalcare.my/2013/10/24/a-new-petfood-in-town/ Their response then was lukewarm so I went back to other brands. Lately, they grew tired of the existing brands, so I thought I’d try Merrick again… I bought this last month. Decided…

  • Pole’s new throne

    This is Pole’s condo. She lets her daughter, Cleo, stay in the condo and when she does, Pole will take the penthouse. But lately, Pole has a new “throne”… Can you find Pole? Now? Yes, she is on top of that big cushion and she loves it! It does amaze me that Pole is a…

  • Have a healthy and compassionate Friday!

    This isn’t about going out to the streets to rescue a puppy or a kitten. It isn’t about choosing the best adopter for your rescue. It isn’t about nursing an injured animal around the clock or administering subcutaneous fluids on a kidney-failure animal. It is ONLY about eating less meat OR eating no meat today…just…
