  • Indy’s poop report for the day

    Nice poop!! Very nice, right? It’s amazing what Promax can do for nice Indy poop! Kai is “looking after” the poop, as usual. Discussing the strategy to deal with the enemy… Robin, the baby-faced enemy. Beware! Taking a break for subcut first. To refuel.

  • Indy’s poop progress

    As of this evening, after dinner, there is still no oatmeal poop from Indy, which is, of course, a good thing. There were well-formed stools in the sandpit, but I am not entirely sure if any of these were from Indy. They were also not found at his usual spot. As you know, the sandpit…

  • AnimalCare is also an educational platform

    I met an dear old friend this afternoon. In fact, she and another friend were the pioneers who started AnimalCare with me. We have remained friends all these years and both of them are also animal rescuers in their own right. She mentioned something very interesting and I thought I should clarify this in a…

  • What is the 3:3:3:1 ratio in helping sick animals?

    I was doing a big overhaul and re-categorising of our blogposts for the past few days. Due to the upgrade of WordPress and an inevitable change of theme for this blog, many past blogposts were somehow wrongly categorised. I’m talking about over 6000 posts! Well, I’m an OCD stickler for order when it comes to…

  • No oatmeal poop from Indy…so far!

    There was no oatmeal poop this morning at Indy’s poo spot!! Yay! But it’s too soon to celebrate as we still have to wait for his poop today and for the next few days or even weeks before we know if the problem is resolved. And even then, it might still come back at a…

  • Indy’s oatmeal poop came back….sigh

    Ever since Indy’s finished his Promax, the consistency of his stools gradually went back to being soft at first, then as of this morning, it was back to the oatmeal poop again. Sigh… Promax worked…initially and from the oatmeal texture, it became formed stools, just soft. But it deteriorated after he finished his Promax, at…

  • Let’s be “Kahu”s

    In Hawaii, you are not your pet’s owner, you are their “kahu”. A kahu is a guardian, protector, steward, beloved attendant, someone entrusted with the safekeeping of something precious and cherished. A kahu protects something that is a part of their soul.

  • Jayden’s utopia for his toy animals

    Jayden loves animals and toy animals. He particularly loves BIG animals like elephants, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, giraffes, lions, tigers and lately, dinosaurs of various kinds. He likes ’em BIG! But we can learn a lot from how he plays with them. Look… Little animals are all riding on the big animals. They are all friends in…

    Indy is on daily 225ml subcut, Cleo is on daily 175-200ml subcut and both are on Renal-N and Astro’s Oil’s fish oil and nitrogen-creatinine scrub. I started the Astro’s package on 19th September 2023, the moment I received the stock. So it’s coming to almost a month now. But from the blood test readings, I…

  • The Blondies’ portraits!

    Caught them altogether again! Now let’s see, we have had several feline families living with us. Cow Mau, Bunny, Pole, Cleo – they weren’t physically close. In fact, they imposed a 1 metre-radius physical distancing from each other, or a fight might break out! But Cow looked after his siblings and Cleo too. Actually, Cow…
