  • Juno bouncing back!

    Thanks to our vet, it is incredible what the B-12 injection can do so quickly, and of course, the first dose of antibiotics and some AD. Take a look at Juno now!   Let’s hope she continues to improve from now on. Juno was diagnosed with a suspected mycoplasma infection from a blood parasite. She…

  • Juno to the vet’s (enlarged lymph nodes, suspect mycoplasma infection)

    I had to fetch Jayden from school, so husband took Juno to the vet’s. I texted all the information and the vet later called after all the blood test results. From what I understand, Juno’s lymph nodes (inguinal, popliteal and submandibular) are enlarged/swollen. Her blood PCV is 32% which is still normal, so the vet…

  • What’s wrong, Juno?

    Juno was eating really well and playing actively last night. In fact, she was still active in the middle of the night. Then, this morning, she didn’t want to eat, but was still active. I offered various kinds of food and she only ate very, very little. A bit later, she wasn’t active anymore and…

  • Juno’s check-up (improvement in lung condition!)

    Today was Juno’s check-up on her lungs. In short, her lung condition has improved!! The vet did explain that normally for such pneumonia cases, the X-rays will only show improvement after 1-2 months, but today’s X-rays already showed marked improvement. Also, Juno’s lungs sound very much better than it was two weeks ago. Her temperature was…

  • Gerald’s updates (finishes antibiotics)

    Gerald comes back to eat at least three times a day. He has been really good ever since he was released; he doesn’t yowl at all. He just meows when he comes back for food, and in the morning, he doesn’t even mew until he knows I’m coming out to the porch with food. Creamy…

  • Updates on Grey (from Lee Soo Farng)

    Backstory: Grey was a street kitten and rescued when Soo Farng noticed he was dragging his hind legs on the road. The injury was due to being caught in the automatic gate of someone’s house. We raised funds to sponsor a package of 5 physiotherapy sessions, 3 acupuncture and TCM treatments and the initial consultation…

  • Kai’s turn to sneeze

    Despite fortifying them with Vetri DMG, now it’s Kai’s turn to sneeze. I already heard sneezing last night but wasn’t sure who it was. This morning, I found that it was Kai. But it’s mild, like Indra’s. Indra has already stopped sneezing. Now, it’s Kai. So I’ve given her Cetirizine (1/2 tab) and all three…

  • Juno ventures out to the garden

    The above are last night’s photos where Juno played in the living room amongst Jayden’s toys. This is Juno in Bunny’s Place. Kai is curious. This is Juno in our front garden of lovely weeds! Gerald has been sleeping under our car all day and….not yowling or mewing. Good boy, Gerald. Back inside. With one…

  • Gerald returns, Creamy, Lizzie and others

    When Gerald is outdoors and he comes back to our porch, he mews. He doesn’t yowl. So, yowling is complaining and demanding to be let go. Last night, for the first time in more than two weeks, we had uninterrupted sleep….finally! Gerald did not come mewing at all, so we slept through the night. It…

  • Indra to vet’s (mild sneezing)

    Indra is back from the vet’s. It’s mild sneezing. The 1/4 tab Cetirizine I had given earlier seemed to have reduced the sneezing by a lot. So the vet said to continue with 1/2 tab Cetirizine for another two days, Vetri DMG can be given for more days, L-Lysine twice daily. She should be fine.…

  • Gerald is free again

    My plan was to release Gerald on Thursday, but he decided he’s had enough of being confined “in prison”. Today’s yowling has been very loud and nonstop. I remember the vet saying that if he’s yowling this much, it means he’s not happy and he wants to be outdoors, so for his happiness, I should…

  • Indra’s sneezing

    Indra is definitely sneezing, though it’s not too bad yet. I’ve called the vet and the only slot available is at 4.30pm today, so I’ve since given her Vetri DMG, L-Lysine and 1/4 tab of Cetirizine (an anti-histamine). I’ve also given L-Lysine to Samantha since she’s willing to eat it. The matriarch is still a…

  • A peek-a-boo tale from Juno!

    “Peek-a-boo!!” Juno loves her toy house! She also loves playing with the rubber balls. She would roll them around on the floor and when the balls roll towards her, she runs into her house for cover! Riley wants to play too! Actually, Riley has jumped in before. “Peek-a-boo again!!” I have not heard Juno cough-sneeze…

  • Indra is eating, but sneezing

    Indra is eating very well, but I noticed her sneezing this morning. I’ve already given her Vetri DMG and will monitor her through the day. Eating both raw food and of course, kibble. I only got Indra and Samantha to eat raw food this morning. Never mind, just be grateful it’s two and not zero.…

  • Gerald’s wound and the yowling

    Gerald is probably yowling more because he knows he is much better and wants to go back outside. There is still a gap inside the wound because when I pump in the liquid to flush it, the liquid goes it and then spouts out like a mini fountain. But as long as there is no…
