Aline bought a new double-storey cage for Miao yesterday. But since Miao is still under “Restricted Movement Order” for at least two weeks post-op, we suggested that they remove the platforms first.  So they have done that now. From the constipation, Miao now has watery stools. I suggested that they take a photo of the…

The following are updates from the vet: Nomi’s incision site looks better now. Suture already removed today. Skin is not fully apposed, but is healing well. Today she has diarrhea, so the vet started her on a probiotic. Her appetite is good. Her incision site will take few more days to recover. As long as…

Miao is discharged and back home! She is okay but still has a constipation problem and is on laxatives. She also has a course of antibiotics (Curam) to complete. We gave a Medical Aid of a total of RM3604 for Miao which covers the attempted spaying (at the first clinic), the diaphragmatic hernia surgery and…

Nomi’s wound looks so much better today! She will be boarded until her sutures can be removed. The wound cleaning and boarding charges are covered by the caregivers. The vet updated that Nomi’s incision site is quite clean, less discharge seen. Tomorrow if her incision is dry, her sutures can already be removed. Otherwise she…

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 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 I do have other cases to handle too, some of which we do not publish to respect the privacy of…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 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…

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…

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…

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,…

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…

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. Here’s direct experiential account from one of our readers, So…
