  • Nomi is stable now!

    The vet just updated with two lovely videos that Nomi is stable now. The 24-hour monitoring is still needed and Nomi is still on drips and on oxygen. But she is stable! Cats are just so resilient, aren’t they? Stay strong, Nomi! The next 24 hours is crucial and so are the days and weeks…

  • Nomi’s surgery – some details

    Here are some details on Nomi’s surgery: The diaphragm was torn in three places, so it was a very bad tear. There was adhesion of the liver to the right lung. The vet had to cut the sternum to fix this. In separating the organs, there was bleeding, as expected. Nomi needed emergency blood transfusion…

  • Nomi’s surgery – a success!

    Nomi’s surgery ended just a few minutes ago. It was a successful surgery. She is still under sedation with oxygen now, is still unstable and would need monitoring for another 24 hours. She is not out of the woods yet as this was a very high risk and complicated surgery, so we still need everyone…

  • Indra’s loose stools updates

    Yesterday I had already started Indra on raw rabbit. I force fed her about a teaspoon since she will not eat it on her own. This morning, I found a bit of loose stools, but not as much as in previous days. This is her favourite spot now. But she’s here this morning when I…

  • All our best wishes and healing thoughts for Nomi

    Dear Friends, Nomi’s surgery to repair her diaphragmatic hernia is this afternoon. It is a very high risk surgery and the chances of success is 50-50. But without the surgery, she would have breathing difficulty which will just deteriorate and she would endure much suffering. We have checked with several vets and  surgery is the…

  • Indra’s loose stools

    Indra’s stools are still pasty. I think she must have known that I want to monitor her stools so she did it for me to see to save me the trouble to sifting through hours of CCTV footage! I pounded the Pro-Fibre (which the vet affectionately calls “rabbit food” because it looks like that!) and…

  • Robin’s balding issue (medicated bath with Pro-Hex)

    I did not take Robin to the vet’s today for his balding issue, but I took photos to show the vet. Since he is itching, it is more than a cosmetic problem and needs to be addressed. The vet said it could be due to a food allergy problem too and the only way would…

  • Indra to the vet’s (loose stools)

    I managed to resolve Kai and Akira’s loose stool problem, but not Indra’s. Early this morning, I found several spots of loose stools, so I sifted through the CCTV playback to identify whose it was. It was Indra’s. Hence, I took Indra along with Tabs to the vet’s today. Better have her checked. As it…

  • Tabs to the vet’s (recheck after 3 weeks of increased subcut fluids)

    Today was Tabs’ check-up after 3 weeks of daily 150ml subcut fluids. She already improved so much in appetite and demeanour once I increased the subcut fluids.  She is also on the AIM food. It’s encouraging news from the blood test results. Her creatinine is stable, her urea came down (this was the main concern…

  • Medical aid for 1 cat in Cheras (Lee Soo Farng’s) – Grey’s final aid

    We have given the balance of RM334.60 to Soo Farng for the next few acupuncture sessions or any other medical expenses for Grey. Grey was rescued by Lee Soo Farng on 8th April 2024 after she spotted him dragging his legs on the road the day before. It was discovered later that Grey was hit…

    Dear Friends, We are doing a special fundraising for a rescued kitten with a diaphragmatic hernia. The caregivers are Soo Tzan Jian (Nicholas) and Teng Yeeng Xuang (Aline). The kitten’s name is Nomi. A friend of AnimalCare alerted us to this case this morning, with a message from Nicholas’ aunt. Here’s the story….last year my…

  • Updates on Grey (from Lee Soo Farng)

    Some updates from yesterday: Soo Farng managed to express some urine and faeces! Grey gets healing morning sunshine every day. The physiotherapist says the chances of Grey walking again are good though the incontinence may persist. But now, Soo Farng knows how to express Grey’s urine, so this would help very much. Little by little…

  • Tabs and her AIM food

    Ming-Yi found local sellers who sell some of the AIM food and supplements. So I’ve ordered and they have arrived. But these would be sellers who probably only managed to obtain a small quantity of stock (like 4-5 packs only). But among all the three brands of food and supplements (containing AIM) that my friends…

  • Updates on Grey – walking a few steps! (from Lee Soo Farng)

    Soo Farng is so excited! She just sent this video where Grey is attempting to walk a few steps on his own!! This is truly incredible! All thanks to Soo Farng’s dedicated loving care, especially in cleaning after Grey as he is still incontinent now. And thanks to all donors too, for sponsoring Grey’s treatment.…
