Month: January 2023

  • Goodnight, Bunny

    Bunny didn’t manage to finish a whole can of food for dinner. He ate about 80% of it, which is really good enough. His breathing is a bit laboured, so I’ve given him Tramadol as instructed by the vet. I managed to give Bunny 3 capsules of Bioresis tonight, so in total, he has taken…

  • Samantha’s revenge

    Samantha’s revenge is to tear our two bedrooms’ sheer curtains and she has done just that. Samantha: You’re the enemy…but I’ll eat the food you serve. Yes, ma’am. As you wish, ma’am.

  • Keeping Bunny warm

    I placed hot water bottles around Bunny so that he is warm. While Bunny is still able to eat, he remains in a very weak condition. The overly yellow urine isn’t a good sign, according to the vet (either a liver problem or losing red blood cells fast). The vet thinks it could be Immune-Mediated…

  • 12.00noon: Bunny just ate a can of food!

    It’s unbelievable! I was discussing with Bunny’s vet on whether Bunny would still need his Darbepoetin jab tomorrow, in his now unresponsive subconscious state. If it can help him feel better, I would want him to have it even if it means I have to pay for a house call. So the vet asked me…

  • 7.30am with Bunny

    Bunny has been passing urine very frequently and the colour is getting more yellow with time. So I did a subcut for him just now. The vet said it is “good” that his kidneys are still working well and producing urine. This means his body is getting rid of toxins through urine. Early this morning,…

  • Riley’s many SOPs

    Riley lives by all her very strict SOPs. She will only eat main meals in her room upstairs. Here in this photo (above), she is eating Cubgrub. Cubgrub can be eaten in the kitchen. But Coco&Joe’s must be eaten upstairs as that’s her staple diet. And she can only use her litter box when placed…

  • Why is Jayden up so early?

    It’s all Robin’s fault. At about 4.30am this morning, Robin got into another huge and fiery fight with Smurfy. He is always targeting Smurfy. I rushed out to the catio and found the two embroiled in a fur-flying fight, then Robin chased Smurfy up to the lookout, fought ferociously up there until Robin fell from…

  • Samantha, Gerald, Creamy and new friends

    Samantha (aka Ms Calico Cattitude) has settled down a wee bit. She’s been finishing all her food and sometimes, she even eats when I’m there. This just goes to show how much cats are affected by the environment more than the people. Samantha was perfectly friends with me out in the porch. She would come…

  • 2.45am…checking on Bunny

    I got up at 2.20am because Jayden wanted milk. Just as well because I need to rotate Bunny. The vet said it is important to rotate him every four hours to prevent pressure sores and lung collapse. Bunny had urinated again. And his urine was yellow. His kidneys are still working very well to concentrate…

  • As the day ends…

    Cow and Cleo are nearby. Bunny’s paws are warm again now. Goodnight, Bunny. Keep Bunny company, Cleo.

  • Visiting Bunny

    Ming-Yi dropped in after work today to visit Bunny. Cleo, Bunny’s niece. Cow Mau, Bunny’s brother. Tabs Indy Resting peacefully. Bunny is fading, I know. His paws are getting cold now and only one paw responds to touch. Be comfortable, Bunny. We are all here with you.

  • Bunny is in Bunny’s Room now

    There has been no change in Bunny’s condition. He defecated twice and urinated five times, three of which were after the subcut was done. I’ve been checking on him very often. Sometimes there are tiny ants crawling around, so we decided to bring him into the room on the bed now. This will make it…

  • Bunny in a subconscious state

    I have been contacting both our vets all morning. Unfortunately, it is their day off so there was some delay in communication. Bunny is not in a coma (sorry I got that wrong). When I pressed his paws (as instructed by one of our vets), Bunny was still able to pull back his arm. This…

  • Wishing Bunny peace

    There is no escape from the inevitable. And yet when it is happening, it is so difficult to bear. But we console ourselves that we have done our very best and that Bunny is not conscious now, so he is at peace. His breathing is steady and moderate, there are absolutely no signs of any…
