  • Jayden and the Blondies!

    Isn’t this cute?

  • Medical aid (supplies and food) for 1 cat in Subang Jaya (Post-op care for Panna) (Szetoo Yu Ming’s)

    As you know, we did a special fundraising for Panna’s double amputation, and there is still a balance of RM1304.90. Szetoo has asked us to keep these funds for Panna’s needs and if there is any balance later on, he would like the balance to be channeled to help other animals under AnimalCare’s aid. We…

  • Panna poops (solid!) and pees in the litter box!

    Szetoo shared this piece of great news! Remember Panna was having diarrhoea? Well, it’s all good now. Not only that, but Panna walked/crawled into his litter box today to urinate and defecate and it’s solid poop! The sutures will be removed some time next week and a PCV blood test will be done because Panna’s…

  • Cow Mau to the vet’s (3rd Solensia injection for pain management)

    Today was Cow Mau’s appointment for his third Solensia injection for pain management. Solensia works well for arthritis but we were hoping it would work for his mouth pain too. Unfortunately, the effect on his mouth pain has not been significant enough. There is a little bit of help, though. Cow Mau has also been…

  • Updates on the 2nd TVT dog in Mentakab (Chai Sheau Peng’s)

    This is an update of what transpired last night. I have sought help from another very helpful rescuer in Ipoh in case he knows of any skilled rescuers from the Klang Valley who might be able to help Ms Chai. This Ipoh rescuer says, and I totally concur, that free-roaming dogs will normally be very…

  • Our new “Rescue” page on the menu bar

    I have spent the last few hours compiling some of the more interesting “rescue” cases we have collectively done in the past and present. The contents below is now compiled into a page and available on the menu bar for easy reference. Please feel free to share the page with anyone who might need ideas…

  • Urgent help needed to catch a TVT dog in Mentakab (Chai Sheau Peng’s)

    Ms Chai is requesting assistance to help catch her 2nd TVT dog in Mentakab and transport the dog down to the Klang Valley to the Seri Kembangan area on a weekday. This request is very urgent because the dog’s TVT is severe and immediate treatment is imperative. If you are able to help, kindly liaise…

  • Jayden and his love of animals (the teddy bear book)

    I gifted Jayden nine books for his birthday amongst other toys. Four were from a giraffe series, four from a teddy bear series and one was about “cat chats”. Jayden LOVES animals and you simply cannot go wrong giving him ANYTHING related to animals, be it books or toys. Take a look…. Children have a…

  • Help for the 2nd TVT dog from Mentakab (Chai Sheau Peng’s)

    Ms Chai needed our assistance for the TVT treatment of the 2nd TVT dog from Mentakab. Her constraints and requirements are: There is no place to board the dog at the Mentakab vet and she has exhausted all favours to get a place from friends. She absolutely has no place to board the dog during…

  • How TVT transmits from an infected dog to others

    This article explains how TVT transmits: https://www.marvistavet.com/transmissible-venereal-tumor.pml We cannot ascertain, though, if the parts (in red), about TVT not being malignant and can spontaneously regress on its own, are true. Some vets do not agree with these parts. We asked our vets and have learnt that this article is probably referring to the TVT in…

  • Jayden visits Ginger, his good ol’ kindy friend

    Just now, Jayden insisted on going out to the catio to visit his ol’ friend, Ginger. Jayden: Heh, this is my best friend, Ginger, folks.  Then, Jayden went to play with Riley…but Riley was about to sleep. So she had a shock of her life. Look at those eyes! Sayang balik….

  • Updates from Mentakab on Xiao Hong Gou (Chai Sheau Peng’s)

    Here are two pictures that are worth a thousand words. The ear-notch is clearly visible in this picture. Ms Chai says she is not able to take a photo of the surgical wound and we say it is perfectly okay.  The vet has already confirmed that XHG has been spayed. The most important thing is…

  • Gerald’s fur and about spot-on products

    Gerald has had three rounds of Advocate spot-on now to address the balding of his flanks. It was slightly more than two months ago that I noticed Gerald’s fur “turning white” at his flanks. I was really worried as I thought that might be indicative of a life-threatening illness. So I quickly took him to…

  • Xiao Hong Gou’s fantastic appetite and the second TVT dog (Chai Sheau Peng’s)

    I asked how Xiao Hong Gou is doing and Ms Chai says she’s got such a fantastic appetite now and will be fed three times a day to rebuild her health. Even today, XHG has already eaten three big meals, most voraciously too – chicken breast and chicken liver. Now, Ms Chai has to decide…

  • Can cats and dogs be vegetarians?

    The short answer; While some dogs do well on a vegetarian diet, cats do not. Here’s why. These are articles written by veterinarians: Dr Justine A. Lee: https://www.pethealthnetwork.com/cat-health/cat-diet-nutrition/it-possible-or-safe-make-your-pet-a-vegetarian Excerpts: About 15 years ago, I treated a young, 15 month-old cat for a severe, rare type of heart disease called dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) – thankfully, we hardly see…
