  • Tiger Day 34

    Today is a Yay-Day! Hey Tiger!! And Tiger says: Don’t disturb me! NO PHOTOS TODAY…NO, NO, NO! Okay, okay…I won’t disturb you, and I’ll just snap whatever I can see, can? Can you see that light pink spot on the right? Yay! This is the stubborn ONE on the left front paw. It’s not looking…

  • A special treat for Capri!

    One of our readers who had been following Capri’s news and who was also all prepared to contribute towards Capri’s C-section initially, ordered 3 packs of Primal Dog from us as a surprise for Capri! We posted it yesterday and it arrived this morning in Kedah. Hooray to Poslaju! From: Mary Way Date: Wed, Apr 9,…

  • Tiger Day 33

    Today is a no-incident day, so that’s good. The next three photos below show the sores on both hips. They appear to be drying up. The “new” sore which appeared on Day 30, now drying up. It has not got worse. Thank goodness. This is drying up too. Right hip, also drying up. The stubborn…

  • Tiger Day 32

    You know how it is that sometimes the sun just seems brighter, the day sunnier and you get this gut feeling (with no particular reason) that everything will take on a positive note and things will finally get better? Well, somehow I got this feeling today about Tiger. I can only hope I am right…because…

  • Tiger Day 31

    It’s 10.15am now and am happy to say that I didn’t see any new sores on Tiger. However, like yesterday, the new sores surfaced in the evening, so I would still need to check again later. Tiger is my new sewing cat. The stubborn ONE on the left front paw. I’m giving this one 2…

  • Tiger Day 30

    It’s Day 30 today. And I’m pleased to say that yesterday’s new sores on the left hip are drying up AND I thought I didn’t see any new sores earlier today, until this evening…. Tiger ran for his life when he sensed I was going to take photo of his sores! But I managed to…

  • Here’s Anabel now (from Joyce Yeoh Swee Eng)

    We subsidised Anabel’s skin treatment from October 2013 until December last year when we closed our Medical Treatment Fund. Anabel has finally recovered now! From: Joyce Accardi Date: Sat, Apr 5, 2014 at 3:37 PM Subject: Thank You! To: Chan Kah Yein <chankahyein@gmail.com> Hi Kah Yein, Anabel(see pic attached) would like to say a big thank…

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2014/04/04/capris-story-why-it-is-so-important-to-get-our-pets-neutered/ Ref: http://animalcare.my/2014/04/05/capris-miracle-a-healthy-puppy-by-natural-birth-in-the-car/ Mary has named the puppy “April”. Grow up strong and healthy, little April, and be strong and healthy, Capri! Here are some updated photos:    

  • Capri’s miracle: A healthy puppy by natural birth…in the car!!

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2014/04/04/capris-story-why-it-is-so-important-to-get-our-pets-neutered/ Yesterday, our story ended with Mary taking Capri back to Kedah. The vet said to wait for another 6 days or if Capri goes into labour, Mary would have to rush Capri down to Penang for the C-section. The puppy is simply too big to be delivered normally, both vets had attested to this…

  • Capri’s Story: Why it is so important to get our pets neutered

    Yesterday, a rescuer-friend called me asking if I knew of any vets in Penang who was able to do a caesarian section on a pregnant dog. Her sister, Mary Way, lives in Kedah and had rescued a poodle recently. The poodle was in very bad shape and Mary had already brought the poodle, named Capri,…

  • Tiger Day 29 – a setback

    Sporotrichosis is nasty and long-winded. Yesterday I did not get to look at Tiger’s left hip and so there was no photo of that area. This morning, I saw something there and it isn’t anything nice…. Tiger had accompanied me upstairs and was waiting for me outside the bathroom. The sun was coming in and…

  • Tiger Day 28

    Tiger, this morning. Hmm…is this a setback?  This is the stubborn ONE on the left front paw, photo taken this morning. The other three sores look increasingly dry. Three cheers for the Gang of Eight on the left hind leg! And the one on the tail is totally gone now. The other single sore on…

  • Gutsy Princess goes for a walk

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2014/02/19/gutsy-princess-a-17-year-old-dog-with-no-more-kidney-activity/ It was during Chinese New Year that Connie’s 17 year-old dog, Princess, was admitted to the clinic in a critical state. Princess’ kidneys had failed and she was on drips for about 2 weeks. Her kidney readings improved slightly, she was discharged and brought home even though she had no more kidney function. Connie…

  • Tiger Day 27

    I restarted Tiger on Transfer Factor two days ago, and am going to continue with this supplement as I believe it helps with the sporotrichosis treatment. I stopped Transfer Factor sometime last week and the sporo sores went on a roller-coaster ride, so I’m going to make sure he gets his 1 capsule of TF…

  • Tiger, after 26 days of sporo treatment

    I thought I should compile these photos to show myself that I haven’t deceived myself into believing that Tiger is healing! The left front paw: “Gang of Four” The left hind leg: “Gang of Eight” The tail: I think it has healed. Hasn’t it? Of course, there are still those on the hips, which I…
