The vet assistant called at 3.30pm saying the endoscopy had been completed and the vet would like to see me. I asked if Indra can be discharged and she did not know. Hmm….that sounded a little worrisome, but we quickly made our way to the clinic. At the clinic, I asked whoever was there if…

I showed a photo of Gerald’s wound to the vet while I was there and she said she would like to check the insides of the wound before it closes up. I had already made an appointment for Gerald on Thursday but the vet said by Thursday, the wound may have already closed up and…

As I was driving Juno to the vet’s for her 2-weekly deworming today, I heard her cough-sneezing in the carrier quite a number of times. It was the typical high-pitched “achoo” sneezing, it was like she was trying to get something out from inside, more like a low-pitched cough-sneeze. I managed to take a video…

I was at the vet’s this morning to see Indra, and I also brought Juno and Gerald for a check-up (more about them later). For Indra, the good news is that the food has dissipated, so this clears the way for the endoscopy. I didn’t get much time with Indra as I had to stay…

Gerald’s shoulder wound is really shrinking in size, very significantly. I see it getting smaller every day. I am giving him more e-collar-off time every day now because the wound is so small that his tongue cannot lick inside of it. Gerald is also so good that he knows there’s two sessions of daily cleaning.…

I know it is wishful thinking hoping I would have good news saying Indra had pooped out the string. That did not happen. The vet just updated that Indra is okay, showing no signs of nausea and has not vomited, which is good. She also has not defecated as well. A X-ray was done in…

I didn’t take a chance since string-swallowing is supposed to be treated as a medical emergency. So I took Indra to the vet’s. I also took along a sample of the string in about the same length as the one she swallowed so that the vet would know the material and the length. The vet…

Oh no… Not again. It was around 5th September 2023 (a year ago) that Akira had a string-swallowing episode. She had swallowed two pieces of strings and passed them out. But to be sure, I sent her to the vet’s, X-rays were taken and the first vet thought there was still some string in her…

Gerald was given an extended self-grooming session today. His shoulder wound seems to have become much smaller now and when I take away his e-collar, he doesn’t try to feverishly lick the wounds at all. In fact, he grooms elsewhere. So, he was given a long grooming session this afternoon. For his wound-cleaning, Jayden dragged…
