Day: November 11, 2023

  • Happy Deepavali 2023!

  • And finally, Misty comes back!

    It’s been a very long day today. My day began at 2.45am this morning and I have not rested yet. When I finally finished managing all the cat matters, updating the new supplement regimens for Indy and Cow Mau, updated all the medical records, it was time to feed the cats their dinner. But…Misty did…

  • Indy to the vet’s (PCV up but creatinine also up)

    I’ve kept Indy for last, but it isn’t a case of keeping the very best for last. The good news first: Indy’s weight is maintained at 5.0kg and his PCV is up, at 35% (from 25%)! Updates: The 35% was a wrong reading. It was retested and it was only at 25%.   But the bad…

  • Cow Mau to the vet’s (Solensia injection administered)

    Next up is Cow Mau. Nothing seemed to be working for Cow Mau’s mouth pain now. Even the Metacam injection and the alternate-day Meloxicam oral medication didn’t help anymore. Neither does transdermal Tramadol, so as per the advice of our vet, I opted for the Solensia injection. The Solensia is not a “drug” but an…

  • Rey to the vet’s (lymph nodes back to normal size)

    Next up is Rey. I’m relieved that the lymph nodes on both sides of Rey’s neck are back to their normal size. The vet said the swelling of these lymph nodes aren’t very worrying as it could also be caused by gum inflammation. So the vet checked Rey’s mouth and he has some tartar, so…

  • Gerald to the vet’s (symmetrical alopecia)

    “Symmetrical alopecia” sounds almost frightening, except it isn’t. It means balding in a symmetrical fashion! Operasi 4 Kucing started at 10.40am this morning… …with little Jayden’s help! We carted all four mewing cats to the vet’s, but not before mildly sedating them with transdermal Gabapentin. Still the Gabapentin did nothing to quieten Gerald down. He…

  • Use of probiotics in dogs and cats

    A fact sheet: https://vetspecialists.co.uk/fact-sheets-post/probiotics-use-in-cats-and-dogs-fact-sheet/ Excerpts: Improving the gut microflora may have more systemic effects as the intestinal microorganisms are thought to have a variety of roles, from digestion of nutrients and vitamins to production of beneficial compounds or regulation of the immune system. Although more studies are needed to assess the true effect of probiotics,…

  • Gerald – secured!

    Gerald had been calling for breakfast for a bit too long by the time I finished writing that previous post, so I decided not to risk it by delaying it any longer. Otherwise, he might just give up and go look for food elsewhere. So I quickly brought food out and oh no!! Gerald and…

  • The Monsters’ crossing

    The Monsters have not been allowed to come over to Bunny’s Place for a few days now and this morning, they were waiting at Stargate with so much hope in their faces. I had to let them come over, at least to eat grass. Everyone came over except the most cautious one, Minnie. But then…

  • The Kuchai Lama street dogs (updates from Khong Lai Teng)

    Here are some updates from Ms Amy Khong Lai Teng, our latest new applicant. She and her friend, Raymond, are taking care of a colony of street dogs in the Kuchai Lama area and we have provided aid for the neutering and vaccination of 2 dogs, Dancer and Susu. Initially, Ms Khong said there were…

  • Indra check and Love Bugs to all

    Dateline: 11th Nov 2023 at 2.45am. I got up early today. This must mean I must be getting better from the after-effects of the dreadful Covid-19! I went to check on Indra and she seemed fine. There was no poop along the wall in her usual spots. Also, none in the sandpit or near the…
