Officially off-collar for Cow!
I think it’s okay to let Cow be off the collar now. It’s been more than 24 hours already. And in any case, he already took it off last night and was probably off-collar for a few hours. He was so happy and spent almost an hour grooming himself. Sleeping restfully….after a huge supper! I…

Cow Power!
I tabulated the Cow Clan’s kidney readings: Looks like Cow Mau has the lowest creatinine reading!! Somehow, instinctively the vet didn’t think it was necessary to do the SDMA test on Cow Mau and she was right! The SDMA test is pretty costly…. Super Cow Mau!!! And on top of that, he has the cleanest…

Pole and Cleo’s check-up – No kidney issues!
Today was Pole and Cleo’s turn to go to the vet’s for their check-up. Cleo was so extremely stressed, she mewed very loudly all the way in the car, at the clinic, and inside the consultation room! Pole was quiet. Cleo’s obvious issue is the shedding at her flanks. This has been ongoing for 10…

Bunny’s first home subcut
Jia-Wen helped me with Bunny’s first home subcut this morning. I didn’t know what to expect, but I know Bunny is very strong, so it was wise to have someone help. I used Vincent’s favourite minky cloth again, prepared the kit and brought Bunny up. This time, I decided we’ll do it higher up and…

Kidney diets for cats (holistic recommendations)
When Vincent was diagnosed with last stage kidney failure in July 2018, I was also at a loss on what would be the best diet for him. Of course vets recommended the prescription diet, but here’s the thing: Vincent was a very strong-willed cat. There was no way I could force him to eat whatever…

Kidney diets for cats (conventional recommendation)
I am still researching kidney diets for cats and would highly appreciate any sharing from anyone who has achieved success with their kidney cats. Or, if you have done extensive research on such diets, please do share. Here are two articles which talk about what most conventional vets would recommend. After this post, I will…

Feeding time!!
For the Cow Clan. Indy’s appetite is still not very good. But Indy has always been a kibble-king. Sometimes, he will walk away from his food and all it takes would be a sprinkle of kibble onto the wetfood, and that does it – he will eat. However, he did not eat much today. He…

Oh oh….Cow took off his cow-collar!
Last night, I was already worried that Cow might break out of his cow-collar. After all, when he was very little (maybe about 1-2 years old), he had a large fight wound on his flank. We took him to get it stitched up; it was done and he was put on the plastic e-collar. I…

Our super tahan lasak Cow Mau
Cow had supper just now and I’m so glad his appetite is good despite the extraction and 3 stitches. Our truly super tahan lasak Cow Mau! So much has happened in these few days and I’ll need some time to consolidate everything so that we know how to go forward from here. Let me just…

Indy’s SDMA test results
So, I took Indy to the clinic. Everyone of our cats have already entered the geriatric stage now (7 years and above), so everyone needs a full bloodwork. I knew Indy has to be next because he has had many medical issues in the past. He also has a gum problem (with bad breath quite…

Cow is home!! (with 2 teeth extracted)
Indy and I drove to the clinic and we reached before 4pm. It was raining heavily. Luckily I had a raincoat, but we parked a bit far, so by the time I got to the clinic, my sports shoes were soaking wet. Luckily Indy was the carrier, so he did not get wet at all.…

Waiting with Cow
Our appointment was at 11.30am. Luckily Jia-Wen hadn’t gone to work yet. It was quite difficult loading Cow into the carrier. He protested and clawed. It took two of us to load him in. The trip there started with mewing at a constant interval, but Cow soon settled down. The journey took about half an…
