Cow Mau has been exhibiting normal behaviour the whole day. There are no signs of any pain too. The improvement from last night to this morning was amazing. But from this morning until evening (now), it’s just a slight improvement. There is just a remaining hard lump above the wound. The wound itself has totally…

To my untrained eye, Cow Mau is getting better! I’m so glad we didn’t delay treatment and took him to the 24-hour vet hospital last night. The antibiotic jab must have kicked in because the swelling has subsided a lot. Cow Mau has always been and still is our most tahan-lasak (resilient to pain) cat.…

We decided not to take the risk to wait until tomorrow morning as the wound is on the neck. From what I know of puncture wounds, the antibiotic treatment has to start as soon as possible to prevent pus formation. Also, he wasn’t eating at all, which was worrying. So at 8.30pm, we took Cow…

I was out today and when I came home, husband said there was a war cry between Indy, Cow Mau and the Monsters but it only lasted a few seconds. By the time he went out to check, he only saw Cow Mau and Indy, fur all fluffed up, walking heroically back to Bunny’s Place.…

I took Cow Mau to the vet’s this morning. He had three issues. Two days ago, his left eye got inflamed and I had started him on Gentamycin but it didn’t work. Yesterday evening, he could not even open that eye at all, so I rushed to the pharmacy before it closed to get Neo-Deca…

Ginger was discovered to have a kidney cyst on his right kidney in September 2022. After a repeat check-up, they cyst remained stagnant, so that wasn’t worrying and the check-up was supposed to have been done after 6 months, so it’s already overdue. In any case, nothing can be done about a kidney cyst. It…

See, no discharge anymore! Also, no more drooling of thick saliva. Just still a bit of pawing at the end of the meal. Cow Mau finished his 2-week antibiotics yesterday. Now, it’s just wait and see if he needs another steroid jab.

We are almost finishing Cow Mau’s 14-day Doxy treatment and he has improved so much! Cow’s pawing has healed by leaps and bounds too though there is still a little bit of it (the pawing). But he doesn’t have to eat baby food anymore. He eats Cubgrub (more watery) and can even eat Coco&Joe’s too.…

The Blondies have fully awakened from the anaesthesia and are VERY hungry!! Dinner!! Back to normal now. No signs of any pain from the ear-notching.

The Blondies were spayed late June but I had forgotten to remind the vet to ear-notch them. So, in order to get it done, we were advised to wait for one month before putting them under general anaesthesia again for the 5-minute procedure of ear-notching. It was done today. The vet had prescribed Gabapentin (as…

The vet texted to let me know Cow Mau’s eye bacteria test results. He has two types of bacteria, ie. staphylococcus spp (gram-positive) and proteus spp (gram-negative). So, the medication given last week was spot-on as Doxycycline will take care of the gram-positive bacteria while the Gentamycin eye ointment will take care of the gram-negative…

I’m happy to share that Cow Mau is definitely much better now. His eyes cleared up within 24 hours after being on the treatment protocol (Gentamycin eye ointment and Doxy). The pawing is still there but definitely getting much less every day. This morning, he was able to eat Coco&Joe’s despite its stick texture. There…

This happened a few days ago. It was coincidentally one day after the vaccination but I’m sure it was unrelated. I was serving breakfast at Ginger’s Catio when one bowl was uneaten. With the Monsters and sometimes it is still dark, it take more than a second to figure out who’s not eating (they do…
