  • Neutering aid for 1 dog in Serdang (Chong Chu Mee’s)

    We have sponsored RM100 for the neutering of this dog. Saya nampak anjing betina ini di Serdang. Ambil pergi operation. Lepas ini, kawan saya bela.

  • IAPWA’s breakthrough in Penang and what we can do

    I’m sorry this is very, very late news.  I only heard about it yesterday and it took sometime to get the links below. I’m sure none of us can ever forget the tragedy that happened in Penang in Sept-Oct 2015 where thousands of innocent dogs (and also cats) were mercilessly culled all because of the…

  • Mercola’s Complete Probiotics and lunchtime

    I ordered Mercola’s Complete Probiotics on Friday (14th Sept) and it arrived today!! A bit of background about it first. It is highly recommended by Dr Karen Becker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ4RIW1rDM0. I also have used it before for Tiger previously (bought from Asia Paws when Tiger went for acupuncture). It was also recommended by Dr Susanna Santhiram. I…

  • “Zurik Games”

    Thank goodness it isn’t “Hunger Games”. Just ‘Zurik Games”. With the mosquito netting up (stainless steel), Zurik has not been able to achieve any break-in so far. Looks like he hasn’t discovered how to open the netting from the outside of the window. But, he still wants to play his game. So, I think it…

  • Some living room scenes

    From last night: Yesterday, Pole was mewing a lot all day. So we took her for tours all over the house, upstairs and downstairs. Her Royal Tabness on the cushion!

  • Morning has broken (3 pilling sessions) and about the Biosilver

    I’ll say we are off to a pretty good start as far as pilling is concerned. Pole ate well today too! I gave her Monge and Cubgrub to see which she’d like. Of course I was hoping she would eat Cubgrub again. Once any of our cats eat Cubgrub, my worries are over regarding balancing…

  • Vincent’s A++ dinner and more about the subcut

    I’m now convinced that Vincent “listens” to his vet! The vet talked at length about the importance of balancing Vincent’s raw diet today. I too was determined to make it more balanced by including organs. Look at Vincent’s dinner just now: I may not have captured those special moments, so please let me describe them…

  • Pole and Ginger

    We came home from the clinic and Pole wanted food. So I gave her a selection of Monge and Cubgrub (these are the only brands she would eat, along with her Monge kibble). But kibble should not be eaten now. She had just come back from having tartar scratched out from her teeth and she…

  • A more “balanced” diet for Vincent and more about his subcuts

    I forgot to mention to very important things I learnt at the vet’s today. The first is regarding Vincent’s diet. As you know, we were so desperate to just get him to eat initially, so we adopted the principle of letting him eat whatever he wants as long as he is willing to eat it.…

  • Vincent’s evaluation

    The vet wanted to see Vincent as well, so we took both Ginger and Vincent to the clinic. I had been keeping the vet informed about Vincent’s condition throughout the weekend. After examining Vincent today, the vet thinks that the “weight gain” was probably due to hydration (because of the subcut and the food he…

  • Ginger’s wound is still infected

    Luckily the vet insisted on seeing Ginger again today. If he had left it to us, we wouldn’t have brought Ginger back because (in our untrained mind and eye), we really thought Ginger’s wound was healing very well. But the vet said he would like to see Ginger again. However, Ginger had other plans. As…

  • Great news!! Pole does NOT need tooth extraction!

    The first stop today is at the vet’s with Pole. Today, we got to see the senior vet at the clinic. I explained what had happened in the past week (appetite gradually going off), the pawing of the mouth, the grinding of the teeth and also that the vet on Saturday said Pole had a…

  • Vincent’s subcut

    Since Vincent still has no appetite this morning, a subcut was definitely due. We gave him his medicines first (a bit of a struggle there). Then, proceeded with the subcut. Needle in. He was very well behaved…until we reached about 80ml. Then, the resistance started. We tried to push it to 150ml, but the resistance…

  • Another opinion for Pole

    Last night, I managed to receive a response from a senior vet whom I consulted about Pole. This vet agreed that we needn’t wait for 2 weeks with the medication. Instead, we should get the blood test done as soon as possible (results could be obtained within 20 mins) and if Pole is fit for…

  • Pole eats kibble

    It was supper time for the Cow Clan and husband had forgotten that Pole has a dental problem. So, since Pole went to her eating station on the pantry counter, he gave Pole a bowl of kibble too, and Pole happily ate it. By the time I came into the pantry, Pole was already eating…
