  • Miao’s updates (Day 5 after surgery)

    The vet updated that Miao is doing well. She is alert and eating well and her breathing is stable as well. However, she has not defecated for a few days, so the vet has started her with a laxative and will monitor her stool output. A photo and a video of Miao taken by Aline…

  • Nomi’s updates (Day 11) – back to the clinic

    Nomi is back in the clinic for hospitalisation now. Ms Yim and I thought it was time to take a back seat with Nomi and Miao’s cases since it’s already been so many days now. I do have other cases to handle too, some of which we do not publish to respect the privacy of…

  • Nomi’s updates (morning of Day 10)

    Nomi’s wound looks okay this morning. I’ve already sent the photo to the vet and she says it is acceptable and there is no need for Ms Yim to bring Nomi in. We want to, again, thank the kind reader who shared the use of Metrogyl Gel with us. According to Aline, the gel really…

  • Nomi’s updates (late night of Day 9)

    The caregivers bought the Metrogyl gel this evening and have applied it on Nomi’s wound. Since the Metrogyl gel is colourless and the iodine is yellow, it is hard to tell if the thickish yellowish liquid in the photo is pus or just the gel mixed with the iodine. We have suggested that the caregiver…

  • Nomi’s updates (evening of Day 9)

    We would like to thank one of our readers for her sharing, as below, in her email to me this afternoon after reading about Nomi’s infected wound: Reading about Nomi’s surgical wound infection, maybe you get the caregivers to ask the vet whether these would help better than just iodine (I learnt that iodine might…

  • Nomi’s surgical wound is infected (Day 9)

    The caregivers, Nicholas and Aline, took Nomi back to see the vet today because her wound looked infected. The vet has confirmed that the wound is indeed infected and there is a possibility that it may have to re-opened up for debriding and re-suture if it does not get well. Meanwhile, to control the infection,…

  • Miao’s updates (Day 3 after surgery)

    The vet updated that Miao is doing well. She is eating. Her breathing is very good too. An X-Ray was done and it is not bad with just a little inflammation, which is expected (Nomi had this too). These are videos of Miao, sent by the caregivers when they sent Nomi back for a check-up…

  • Yunnan Baiyao, a TCM for sporotrichosis, cancer, wounds and poisoning (a sharing)

    I am personally so excited to learn about the efficacy of this TCM, Yunnan Baiyao for sporotrichosis. We have received sharing on its efficacy in healing cancer lesions before and have shared this, but I did not know it was effective for other conditions too.

Ah Miao was sent for neutering at another vet, but went into dyspnea when she was anaesthesised. The spaying was aborted immediately and she stopped breathing 3 times during recovery.

  • Yunnan Baiyao, a TCM for sporotrichosis (a sharing)

    One of our readers from Facebook had this to share: Just to share, my family have been using a Chinese herbs (human grade) called “Yu Nan Bai Yao” (in cantonese) that treats and cures sporo in cats and dogs. It’s 100% safe for pets. It’s in capsule form and need to open the capsule to…

  • Visiting Miao at the clinic

    I drove to the clinic to visit Miao today. When I arrived, Miao was busy eating and then drinking. She drank a lot of water and I later found out it’s because water had to be withheld yesterday. But she is still on drips, so that’s okay. She was a bit apprehensive at first because…

  • Pretty little Nomi! (Day 7)

    Here is a video, just received from Nick! Everything is going well for little Nomi! Nomi underwent a very complicated diaphragmatic hernia surgery on 7th May 2024. She has since been discharged and is recuperating at home now.
