  • Beware of Covid-19, Part 3

    I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to write this Part 3, but bummers….I’ve got Covid-19 now. First time in my life. Oh well…. Not surprising since practically everybody has had it this round. Jia-Wen got it first (I suspect from Hong Kong), then my husband, then Sihui, and she thinks the boys also had…

  • How smart is Indy?

    I was doing Indy’s nebulisation this morning and usually, I will start it and go off to do my other chores. I know it roughly takes about 20 minutes to complete and I can also hear the sound of the machine. It gives a different sound when it is completed. But halfway through, I heard…

Here are the PDFs with details about some of their probiotic products. I also learnt that the base of their probiotics is Love Bugs, which I’ve already bought and am…

  • Indy’s Promax and his nice poop!

    I started Indy back on Promax yesterday and this morning, I saw really, really nice well-formed poop at his spot! So far, this is the only probiotics that work for Indy’s recent “oatmeal” poop. What doesn’t work so far are (1) Max Pro GI, (2) Gentle Digest and (3) Fera Organics Probiotics and Prebiotics. A…

  • Some updates on Cow Mau, Indy and Rey

    All three went to the vet’s yesterday, so this is a short update after one day. Indy Indy’s sneezing has reduced considerably ever since he started on the full spectrum of medication for his flu plus the nebulisation. I went to the vet’s to get him Promax for his loose stools today, so he is…

    Believe it or not! Here’s the research: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/01/world/cats-have-276-facial-expressions-intl-scli-scn So I tried on Samantha and wow….lookie, lookie, SIX different expressions!!

  • Rey to the vet’s (lymphadenitis)

    I was looking through all our cats’ medical records after Cleo’s passing and Rey’s caught my eye. When I took them all back from the adopter’s in June last year, Robin had severe diarrhoea and Rey had a skin issue and the flu. Rey’s SDMA test last year had a reading of 13 (normal is…

  • Cow Mau to the vet’s (mouth pain)

    Cow Mau’s mouth pain was getting worse every day. Even transdermal Tramadol did not give him any relief anymore. So, I contacted the vet and she said the least harmful medicine for him would be the Metacam (Meloxicam) injection. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation. Cow Mau’s weight…

  • Indy to the vet’s (blood pressure normal, but…)

    I took Indy, Cow Mau and Rey to the vet’s today. I shall write about Indy first. The reason for taking Indy is that (1) he has been sneezing for 5 days now, Cetirizine isn’t working, and (2) his oatmeal stools (again!). Since we were already there, the vet decided to check his creatinine, urea…
