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…

I’m so glad I asked the vet to check on Cow Mau during the house call for the Monsters two days ago. Previously I was under the impression that Cow Mau’s tearing (brown discharge from the eyes) was due to blocked sinuses and the only way to clear that was to sedate him. But after…

I requested for the vet to check Cow Mau during the house call today. Cow Mau has been having several problems lately. (1) He frequently paws his mouth during eating as though there is a lot of pain inside his mouth. This is despite 3 dentals and I’m certainly not putting him through another one.…

I requested for a house call from the vet to do the Monsters annual vaccinations today. The reasons for the house call are (1) They are all so big and strong, I don’t think I can carry five carriers one by one from the parking bay to the clinic! and (2) They are so strong…

It started with my suspicion that Akira and possibly Kai, had gastrointestinal issues because they were hunting and partially eating cockroaches. But coincidentally with their hunting episodes, I was also giving everyone a new raw treat. Everyone else, including Indra, was fine with the new treat, but it looks like Akira isn’t. It must be…

Kai bounced back and ate a raw meal late last night! So I think both of them are okay now. The vet says I can stop the Beazyme already once they are eating normally. So, it’s just the probiotics for both and the Metrogyl to complete for Akira. Kai ate raw food last night and…

I hope this means that Kai has bounced back! She is eating raw food again and it’s only this afternoon. It’s Cubgrub’s CKD Chicken. Cubgrub’s CKD Chicken has eggshell powder instead of grinded bone. I started buying it a long time ago for our CKD cats. Tabs really like this version so I’ve maintained it…

So Kai just wanted canned food. She’s not ready to eat raw food yet, due to the bout of gassy gut. Kai is eating Cindy’s Tender Chicken with Broth here. According to a vet I spoke to sometime ago, the protein in cooked food is broken down so it’s more easily digested. But according to…

As of right now, I think Akira has bounced back! She’s active and her appetite is really good. She was so down and out yesterday so much so that as I drove Kai and her to the vet’s, she was so quiet (while Kai was making a total racket), I was telling her, “Hang on,…

This is a follow-up to today’s crazy day where Akira had a fever and was down and out. The vet says it is most likely a gastrointestinal problem and the only thing I could think of is that the Blondies are keen hunters and they are so attracted to the drainhole and cockroaches. Initially, they…
