Thank you, everyone, for asking about the cats. Everyone is fine except Cow. Cow’s blood clot in the eye has dissipated completely. Unfortunately, he developed a corneal ulcer during the time I was ill and hospitalised and we didn’t know this. Soon after, his eye suddenly looked cloudy one day, so Ming-Yi took him to the…

I hope I’m not imagining it, but I think Cow’s eye blood clot has got a little smaller. Today is Day 3. I was worried this morning when a part of the brown blood clot looked lighter in colour (I thought it was ruptured lens material) but now I think it could be the blood dispersing (I…

There was a huge war cry in Bunny’s Place at midnight last night. By the time we rushed down, we found Cow and Bunny in the room, and the rest were all out in the pantry with Indy antagonising Tiger with his war cry. We broke up Indy’s attack on Tiger and thought all was…

As with all herbs, it takes time to work, so from frequent vomiting, it gradually decreased to vomiting once every 3 days and…

The long-awaited blood test results finally came this afternoon and it’s all clear for Bunny! What a relief! Bunny’s kidney and liver readings are all normal and from this, it is most probably not pancreatitis. Yesterday had been a long day for all of us. Bunny could only be fed small meals and by night…

This morning, Bunny vomited twice. He did not look too happy after breakfast; and he vomited after half an hour. Then, he asked for food again, and vomited again. It was only after one hour that he felt well enough to ask for more food. He managed to retain his third and fourth meals for…
