  • Juno’s vomiting (coccidiosis)

    Juno’s diarrhoea seems to have stopped for now, but she has vomited twice now. I read that the side effects of Baycox (the drug that she needs for the coccidiosis) are vomiting, diarrhoea and loss of appetite. Sigh. And she has to take both Baycox and Kaolin-Pectin; both of which are so, so unpalatable. I…

  • Juno has a coccidia infection (coccidiosis)

    A fecal examination showed that Juno has a coccidia infection. Coccicida is a protozoa. This infection could be from a contaminated environment (from fecal matter) or even from raw food, the vet explained. The vet thinks that for Juno’s case, since she is totally indoors and nobody else has this infection, it could be from…

  • Juno’s liquid stool update

    Juno is still passing liquid stools and she had not eaten on her own since yesterday afternoon. I got up at 5am this morning to check on her. There was no liquid stools or any stools since 9pm last night until this morning. But about two hours after syringe-feeding some Cindy’s pureed food, she passed…

  • Juno has liquid stools and no appetite

    Juno’s appetite hasn’t been too good today. But she is still active. For breakfast, she rejected all her usual food, including kibble, and only ate canned food. Then, later on, she had liquid stools. I noticed some upstairs and again, just now, at 5pm. I quickly called the vet’s but they could not slot me…

  • More trouble in the porch

    There’s been trouble in the porch again, between Creamy and Gerald. For the last two days, Creamy seemed to have taken total control of the porch and has been giving poor Gerald a hard time to come back to eat. I actually saw Creamy smacking Gerald on the face when he tried to approach his…

  • Jayden and Juno

    After a long weekend… The two best friends play again!

  • Juno’s playful brawls with Riley

    Juno and Riley have recently been engaged in playful brawls throughout the day. We are glad that Juno has a feline playmate in Riley since Tabs isn’t quite interested in playing with her. The brawls can get quite aggressive sometimes and I have to stop them. Tabs is the neutral referee? This is a peaceful…

  • Akira made history!

    Haha….it was sheer luck; for the first time in her life, Akira ate Coco&Joe’s this evening! Initially, she refused to eat her usual Cubgrub, even when offered at her special preferred place near the sandpit. Just walked away. Okay, fine. I thought it was going to be a kibble meal for her. The rest ate…

  • Bookworm Juno!

    Juno’s favourite “bed” for the night! She loves snuggling up amongst Jayden’s books.

  • Gerald at the park

    Gerald normally only comes to the park when I go for my walks. That’s where he waits for me. At other times, he’s in our porch or somewhere on the back road.

  • Hitting the jackpot with the Blondies

    More eating news! I hit the jackpot with the correct raw food for dinner yesterday. Had to follow Indra all over until she settled down here to eat her bowl of Coco&Joe’s, inside the room. But I didn’t quite get this right, because she didn’t finish it. Instead, I tried cut-up raw meat after two…

  • Fireworks scare, missing dog rescued!

    Yesterday, we met an owner who was desperately looking for his missing dog, a Saluki (a racing dog). According to the owner, Mr Tan, two of his dogs escaped during the previous night’s fireworks (Deepavali eve), one returned but the other, Layla, was still missing. I asked him for photographs and sent out an alert.…

  • A magical breakfast for the Blondies and more food stories

    Today was an unexpected magical morning for the Blondies again – they all ate raw food! Yesterday, we had a setback and I thought we would descend into a few days of kibble before they would be willing to eat raw, but no, they all ate raw this morning. So, there is no pattern. It’s…

  • Gerald and Creamy after the heavy thunderstorm

    Gerald must have been very hungry this morning. He climbed onto the roof and met me at the window of our bathroom. So I carried him into the house but he wasn’t happy and I had to let him out again, but Creamy was in the porch and Gerald was too afraid to go out.…

  • The threesome and a night of fireworks…again.

    Juno was afraid of the fireworks last night and went to hide behind the piano. It would be her first time hearing such thunderous sounds. This morning, a desperate owner was going around our neighbourhood looking for his dog who had escaped from his house last night during the fireworks. Two of his dogs escaped…
