When a beloved pet faces a life-threatening situation, the knowledge of pet CPR can make the difference between tragedy and a life saved. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for pets involves a combination of chest compressions and artificial respiration to maintain blood circulation and oxygenation in emergency situations. Rapid response is crucial; if a pet is unresponsive…

Ms Ong took WinWin to see the vet again this morning. WinWin’s blood PCV has further dropped to 20%.  The vet explained that with IMHA, this is expected to happen, that is, the blood PCV will drop gradually. In fact, in severe cases, the blood PCV drops very fast, sometimes a fast as within 24…

Ms Ong took Fate to the vet’s yesterday for a check-up. Fate was given a clean bill of health and given her first vaccination. All is well and Fate is growing well. Ms Ong says she will cover the entire bill for this.

Here’s updates from Ms Ong: All is well with Fate. She’s a happy little kitten with an occasional sneeze which could be due to some allergy. Ms Ong will be taking her for the first vaccination soon. For new readers, Ms Ong’s Survivor Shelter is a dog shelter and home to 46 dogs. Fate was…

Ms Ong took WinWin for her weekly check-up today. Everything is fine with WinWin except her blood PCV which hasn’t gone up. It is still the same as the last visit, at 22%. WinWin has gained a little bit of weight (12.9kg now), has good appetite and good mobility. The vet says this is beyond…

Ms Ong had already expected the worst this morning when she visited Cash. Cash was unresponsive, could not lift up her head and refused to eat. Ms Ong still tried to feed Cash and even took her out on a walk, but she had watery diarrhoea, which was not a good sign at all. When…

Updates from Ms Ong on WinWin: WinWin was brought for a follow-up visit at the vet’s today. Her weight is good and everything is good except that her blood PCV has gone down from 27% to 22%. Her weight is 12.6kg which is good. She was given the Darbepoetin jab (we already paid it for…

Updates from Ms Ong: Ms Ong has been shuttling to and from her cafe to the clinic so that she can attend to Cash’s needs every 2 hours. Her sessions are at 10am, 12noon, 2pm and if possible, 4pm.  The 4pm session is tricky as her burger stall opens at about 3.30pm. But Ms Ong’s…

Here are some happy updates on Fate from Ms Ong: Everything is okay with Fate and she is growing up to be a happy and active little kitten.

Ms Ong has the following encouraging updates today: Cash does not have diarrhoea anymore today. This is absolutely fantastic news! The vet says this means she is absorbing the medication and the food. It is amazing that Cash is responding positively to a change of treatment and medication in such a short time. When Cash…

I needed a clearer evaluation about Cash so that all donors are aware of her condition. Ms Ong shared the vet’s report which I have paraphrased here: Cash is in an extremely severe condition and is expected to die. She has an enteropathy that results in voluminous watery diarrhoea with mucus, blood and also what…

Ms Ong discharged Cash from the clinic and took her to another vet today. Based on what Ms Ong has told me and the photos she sent, this is what I understand: Cash has a seriously low albumin level, so the most important thing now is to make her eat. She has to eat regularly,…

Ms Ong has the following updates: Milky Milky was laid to rest this morning. Fate Fate is doing very well. Tomorrow will be her foll0w-up at the vet’s. Cash Cash is eating very well today. She had rice and chicken, brought to the clinic by Ms Ong. Coffee Coffee is the third female dog yet…

Ms Ong visited Milky this morning. Little did she know it would be her last visit. A few hours after that, the vet called her to inform her that Milky had passed away. We knew Milky’s condition was not good. He had kidney failure and possibly even IMHA. Ms Ong informed me through voicemail and was…

Here are some updates from Ms Ong: WinWin WinWin is eating well and has gained weight, so the vet decided a blood test won’t be necessary today. WinWin was just given the Darbepoetin jab. Milky and Cash Milky is still not eating on his own. Ms Ong force fed ID and gave water by syringe.…
