  • Day 3 – Let the games begin!!

    It’s Day 3 of the happy family reunion of Minnie’s family today! This morning, everyone greeted me the moment I opened the door to enter the room. Normally, whenever I open the door, regardless of which bedroom door, someone will be right there, like an excited little puppy wagging his tail. And who might that…

  • Minnie’s family dinner (Day 2)

    Everybody’s eating now!! And nobody is in hiding anymore though Smurfy is still a little wary of us. Minnie and Smurfy having dinner. The champion guzzlers, Robin and Rey. Lynx used to be the gangster food snatcher when he was young, but he no longer plays that role now. He only eats his fair share…

  • And finally…..Smurfy eats!!

    It took transdermal Mirtazapine to do the trick. I asked the vet if I could use it and once given the a-okay, I applied 0.2ml onto his inner ear. After about one hour, I came home with fresh chicken meat and offered some to Smurfy… ….and Smurfy eats!!! Hooray!

  • Bella2’s nest

    We didn’t realise this, but another bird has come to build a nest on our small curry leaf tree in Ginger’s patio. In the last few days, I did see a bird zipping past (low-leveling flying) across the patio. Yesterday, we noticed that there is already a fully-built nest on the curry leaf tree, which…

  • The morning of Day 2 of the big family reunion

    Rey & Robin came back on Saturday (that’s 4 days ago) and Minnie, Smurfy and Lynx came back yesterday. Rey & Robin are the ones with the medical issues that needed to be addressed, but they settled down remarkably well and fast, and are 100% confident and comfortable now.  Whenever I open the door to…

  • Minnie, Smurfy and Lynx’ medical check-up and dinner

    Here’s the results of today’s medical check up for Minnie, Smurfy and Lynx. SMURFY Weight: 5.4kg Applied Advocate spot-on Smurfy has an infected wound on the right side of his body, infected with round bacteria. Treatment – Clean with chlorohexidine and apply Fucidin twice a day. Because of this wound, the lymph node near the…

  • Welcome home, Minnie, Smurfy and Lynx!

    Yes, they are back with me! I went with a friend to collect them today. Early this morning, I prepared our next bedroom as a post-quarantine room for Rey & Robin. Robin’s diarrhoea is still there, but it’s very much better so I can put them together already. I took a few hours to get…

  • Bunny and his chronic constipation

    I shall not repeat the backstory for Bunny and it’s a long story. Ever since I started a more “rojak” diet for Bunny, it has really helped with his constipation problem. I think adding kibble and canned creates bulk – it’s as simple as that. So he is able to defecate, but he is still…

  • Rey & Robin’s dinner

    I gave Robin a bath as well and that was quite a disaster! He was literally screaming and Rey didn’t even bother to come out to look! Anyway, it was a quick bath and he got dry very quickly. For dinner, thanks to a friendly reminder by my friend, Agnes, I put pumpkin together with…

  • Rey’s Malaseb bath!

    I did it! Single-handedly! And got scratched in the process and I think there might be a hole in my tshirt too, but never mind!  I was home alone with Jayden so I asked Jia-Wen to come over for a few minutes to look after Jayden. First, I prepared the towels, the e-collar and the…

  • Rey & Robin – the morning of Day 3

    Robin is not out of the woods yet. This morning, I found 2 patches of diarrhoea in the litter box and 2 more random patches (but very tiny) on the floor and the basin. I fed them breakfast but Robin is naughty, he totally refuses to eat the Hill’s ID now. Instead, Rey LOVES it…

  • Rey & Robin – after the visit to the vet’s

    This is going to be a very long story…. Here’s a record of what’s wrong with both of them and the treatment administered: REY Weight 5.5kg (that’s good) Has tongue ulcer due to virus – to give Vetri DMG Has the flu – also Vetri DMG Ear infection – to apply Pyo Clean (more effective…

  • Rey & Robin – skin issue and diarrhoea

    After coming back yesterday and eating the “first” meal at home (yes, voraciously for Robin), I noticed a few drops of brown liquid stools on the floor. I wasn’t sure who it’s from, though. From then on, there was the same brown liquid stools all over the floor, but in small amounts. My first thought…
