Cleo: Day 2 at the clinic
The vet sent this photo at 9.45am this morning, shortly after the clinic opened. She said Cleo ate a bit of the leftover food through the night. It wasn’t enough, though, so they syringe-fed her. Cleo also appears calmer and more settled now. She urinated a fair amount but there was no defecation. I visited…

Visiting Cleo at the clinic (hospitalisation)
For new readers, Cleo is 16 years old plus (born on 19th February 2007 in my daughter’s wardrobe). She was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in September 2019 (four years ago) and has been on subcut since then. On 17th September 2023, a routine blood test revealed that her creatinine level had shot up to…

Cleo, Cow Mau and Indy to the vet’s – it’s Cleo (hospitalised)
I didn’t know who vomited the blood which I found this morning, so I took Cleo, Cow Mau and Indy to the vet’s. Until the time we left the house, there was still no abnormal behaviour from any of them. The vet suspected it could be Indy so he was checked first. Indy’s ear-prick blood…

Patches of fresh blood in Bunny’s Place
I found one big patch of fresh jelly-like blood in Bunny’s Room today. There was also another patch on the pantry floor and many bloody paw prints on the floor of the room including on the table. The blood was jelly-like with some liquid around it and it had some darker-coloured jelly-like substance as well.…

Indy’s nice poop!
Let’s hope it lasts this time, with the help of Fera Organics Probiotics & Prebiotics. I started Indy on it yesterday evening. There was really nice poop at his spot on the sandpit this morning! But to be fair, he is also on Promax, which I know, works well, but the effect doesn’t last. I’m…

Pet Wellbeing Kidney Support Gold and Fera Organics Probiotics & Prebiotics (for Indy and Cleo)
I’m SO excited! I just ordered these products from Honu Paws Malaysia (an online seller) and they arrived today!! Delivery was so fast and it’s been so pleasant communicating with the seller, Ms Alda, as she is a genuinely concerned and dedicated person. She is also a rescuer in her own right! Before I get…

Indy’s poop news – becoming softer again
Sigh…Indy’s poop is becoming softer again. Looks like Promax only worked for about two days. Then, it’s slowly going back to square one again. The new probiotic and prebiotic powder I ordered should arrive around tomorrow. Let’s hope that works.

Indy’s poop report for the day
Nice poop!! Very nice, right? It’s amazing what Promax can do for nice Indy poop! Kai is “looking after” the poop, as usual. Discussing the strategy to deal with the enemy… Robin, the baby-faced enemy. Beware! Taking a break for subcut first. To refuel.

Indy’s poop progress
As of this evening, after dinner, there is still no oatmeal poop from Indy, which is, of course, a good thing. There were well-formed stools in the sandpit, but I am not entirely sure if any of these were from Indy. They were also not found at his usual spot. As you know, the sandpit…

What is the 3:3:3:1 ratio in helping sick animals?
I was doing a big overhaul and re-categorising of our blogposts for the past few days. Due to the upgrade of WordPress and an inevitable change of theme for this blog, many past blogposts were somehow wrongly categorised. I’m talking about over 6000 posts! Well, I’m an OCD stickler for order when it comes to…

No oatmeal poop from Indy…so far!
There was no oatmeal poop this morning at Indy’s poo spot!! Yay! But it’s too soon to celebrate as we still have to wait for his poop today and for the next few days or even weeks before we know if the problem is resolved. And even then, it might still come back at a…

Indy’s oatmeal poop came back….sigh
Ever since Indy’s finished his Promax, the consistency of his stools gradually went back to being soft at first, then as of this morning, it was back to the oatmeal poop again. Sigh… Promax worked…initially and from the oatmeal texture, it became formed stools, just soft. But it deteriorated after he finished his Promax, at…

Indy and Cleo’s chronic kidney disease supplements and reflections about mortality
Indy is on daily 225ml subcut, Cleo is on daily 175-200ml subcut and both are on Renal-N and Astro’s Oil’s fish oil and nitrogen-creatinine scrub. I started the Astro’s package on 19th September 2023, the moment I received the stock. So it’s coming to almost a month now. But from the blood test readings, I…

Gerald’s mild gastro issue and the lifesaving food-remedies
Gerald has been having some mild gastro issues lately. For a few days, he did not feel like eating his usual Coco&Joe raw food. Whenever this happens, I think it must be due to some nausea where the cat might have vomited and is now associating that unpleasant feeling with the smell of the food…
