  • Indy goes for a second opinion at a new vet’s

    I don’t want to leave any stone unturned with Indy. His kidney readings are off the roof and he remains clinically well enough. I just need to know if I’ve missed anything or there are other options that I could try for Indy. So I found out that there’s a vet much nearer to our…

  • Creamy has stopped sneezing

    I laced everyone’s food with Vetri DMG today, and thankfully, Creamy ate all his food up! He is normally very choosy and discerning of “new smells”. I haven’t heard Creamy sneezing anymore so I hope he’s cured. I am very sure Creamy has a home in the back road, so I only gave him Cetirizine…

  • The advantage of Hill’s KD kibble for Indy

    Ever since I bought the Hill’s KD kibble for variety in Indy’s renal diet, he has been eating it and rejecting the previous Royal Canin’s renal kibble. I was told that Hill’s used to be less palatable than RC’s but they have improved the formula in its palatability and it’s quite a favourite amongst cat…

  • Welcome to the special (nebulisation) room, Akira!

    It was bound to happen… I was hoping against hope that it won’t, but it did this morning. Akira started sneezing a lot. Indra and Kai are both definitely getting better, so it’s Akira’s turn now. If angels, fairies and nymphs exist, I would like to pray to them to intervene so that the sneezing…

  • Starting nebulisation for Kai

    I nebulised Kai last night and again this morning. The sneezing has not reduced so I decided to take the next step. She was really good with the nebulisation process and did not struggle at all. I did it again this morning and she was most cooperative too. She’s also easier to feed medicines to…

  • Jayden and his best friend, Ginger

    The photos will speak for themselves! Ginger was Jayden first friend when we started babysitting him at three months old. Jayden has not forgotten his first and most faithful friend. The two best friends!

  • Capsules for Indra’s flu

    I gave up with the liquid Curam so we drove to the vet’s to purchase Clavamox capsules for Indra’s remaining four more days. The whole antibiotic course is for seven days. We’ve done three days now, miserably, with Indra foaming at the mouth with the liquid. Clavamox is the same medication as Curam. It is…

  • Robin, the biggest bully at the Catio

    Robin has ascended to the role of being the biggest bully at the Catio. He’s been bullying Smurfy and Lynx, individually, but just now, he bullied BOTH of them together until Smurfy and Lynx had to seek refuse in separate cages. When I heard the war cries, I rushed out to find Lynx in the…

  • Kai and Robin are sneezing now

    Indra is in closer proximity to and spends more time with Riley, and yet, Kai started sneezing today. And Robin started yesterday. Robin has no contact whatsoever with Indra at all. So I think it’s not spread from Indra, but it’s probably in the air. A cat-flu virus in the air. I started Kai and…

  • Indra’s sneezing (starts on Curam)

    Indra wasn’t sneezing as much this morning, so I was really happy. I did the nebulisation as usual. But by afternoon, I heard her sneezing a little bit more so I did not want to take any chances and have now started her on the antibiotic, Curam liquid, which the vet gave on standby yesterday.…

  • Indy to the vet’s for his monthly check-up (creatinine and urea off the charts)

    Indy went for his monthly kidney check-up today. Sadly, there is no good news at all. In fact, it’s bad. The mysterious thing is that Indy look so well, clinically. First things first, last month’s PCV reading of 35% was a mistake. I had expected it because it seemed impossible that his PCV would increase…

  • Indra to the vet’s (for sneezing)

    Luckily I asked permission to bring Indra along to the vet’s today. She has sneezed less since I started her on my home combo for flu (Cetirizine, Bromhexine, Nebulisation), but I still wanted her checked, especially her lungs. Indra has a low-grade fever of 39.2 degrees, but this could be due to stress (and yes,…

  • Cow Mau to vet’s for 2nd Solensia injection

    Today was Cow Mau’s second Solensia injection. So far, after the first injection, I noticed only very, very little improvement in the pawing. But we have to give it some time to work, so we continued with the second injection today. Solensia works to block the pain pathways. It doesn’t tax on the kidneys or…

  • Indra, Indy and Cow Mau’s appointment today

    I’ll be taking Indra, Indy and Cow Mau for their vet’s visit today. Meanwhile… Indra was nebulised this morning, after giving her the flu medicines. But she was very stressed in the carrier throughout the process. She was alright yesterday but definitely threw a big fuss today. Anyway, I’ll be taking her to the vet…

  • Indra is sneezing

    Just now, I overheard sneezing in Bunny’s Place and it was Indra. She was sneezing too many times and it’s definitely not a random thing. So I checked my supplies and I have Cetirizine and of course, Vetri DMG. I gave her 1/2 tablet of Cetirizine and 0.5ml of Vetri DMG, with a lot of…
