  • Riley is home and spayed!

    I woke up at 3am this morning to feed Riley so that she could be fasted for 8 hours before her spaying surgery. The procedure was done quite fast. When we reached the clinic to take her back, Riley was semi-awake. The vet assistant says she was still a bit groggy and might not be…

  • Creamy and Gerald are back home!

    The clinic was very busy and short-handed, so I figured it’s best to bring Creamy and Gerald home. In fact, Creamy’s wound looks almost all healed too. But I will be keeping both indoors until it’s safe to release them. When I checked, the vet assistant said Creamy had not urinated. So I was quite…

  • Visiting Creamy and Gerald at the clinic

    I went to visit Creamy and Gerald this morning and brought them more food. Both are doing well. I just received a text from the vet and they can come home later this afternoon! I just have to cage them for another 3 days to ensure full healing of the surgical site. Both have already…

  • Cheeto (aka Kalel) came this morning, Gerald and Creamy are fine!

    I’ve renamed Kalel “Cheeto”. It’s much easier name to pronounce! Cheeto came early this morning. He’s the mild-mannered looking ginger cat who was sighted with Creamy the other day. I am not sure if Cheeto is male or female, but I guess he is male. 80% of ginger cats are males. There was a lot…

  • Cow Mau to the vet’s

    Cow Mau has been having this brown discharge tearing from his eyes for more than 2 weeks now. Normally whenever he has it, I would give him Maximus Ophtal and that would solve the problem every single time. Well, it did not this time. So off we went to the vet’s. But before that, Jayden…

  • Taurine for the Super Seniors

    I was discussing Bunny’s eating problem with my raw-feeding friend the other day. Bunny is very, very choosy with food now, so feeding him is quite a challenge. My friend suggested that I give Bunny taurine as a supplement. Now, why didn’t I think of that? I know taurine is important for the heart and…

  • Updates on Kinta Dog – half the surgery done

    According to Mr Lu, the vet only did half the surgery yesterday as the “growth” was way too big and not all could be removed. Kinta Dog is recuperated at the vet’s now and the next surgery will be done next week to remove all of it. I’m sorry if the information above is not…

  • Updates on the Kinta Dog (thought to have TVT)

    For those who are new to the blog, a young lady from Ipoh sought our help to rescue a female dog with visible TVT.  We enlisted the help of friends who contacted Persatuan Pencinta Haiwan Kinta Perak. This group did the rescue over 3 days and the dog is under their care now. We have…

  • How old is Riley?

    The vet’s is fully booked until next Tuesday for surgeries. So I made an appointment for a check-up and if Riley is not old enough to be neutered, perhaps we could deworm and vaccinate her first. Getting Riley into the carrier was quite a challenge. She was quite happy hiding under the side table beside…

  • Which is the lesser evil for Bunny – diarrhoea or constipation?

    Bunny’s diarrhoea has ended but he had constipation this morning. I saw him straining early this morning and nothing came out. Then I quickly gave him Cisapride, Lactulose, Gentle Digest and also some coconut fiber. I won’t want to wait it out because he was already straining and I would try to avoid an enema.…

  • Why is Samantha back??

    Samantha came back today! More about Samantha below. But first about Little Riley. I’ve established a rule with Little Riley now. If she wants canned food, she has to come into the house. And yes, she WANTS canned food now that she finally knows what canned food tastes like! But typical of all females, she…

  • Bunny’s diarrhoea has stopped

    This time I used this: Kitten Tuna + Fiber from Back2Nature. I fed him once and the next day, the diarrhoea actually stopped. But I had also been giving him Bioflor as well (7 days, but no improvement, or maybe it had to take that many days to work). So I think it’s a combination…

  • Bunny’s diarrhoea came back…sigh

    I am not sure if it’s the change in food or the Cobalaplex, but coincidentally with these two, the diarrhoea came back in Bunny. I discussed this with the vet and the only thing in Cobalaplex which “may” have cause an allergic reaction is the chicken flavouring. There’s chicken flavouring in the contents even though…

  • The day Rey landed…

    …right smack on Cow Mau! I saw it all just now. Rey had jumped onto the top of Stargate and was ready to jump down. He glided down halfway and jumped….straight onto Cow Mau! Luckily it was armoured-truck Cow Mau and not Bunny. And luckily for Rey (and me) that Cow Mau has already mellowed…

  • Cobalaplex for Bunny

    Our vet recommended Protexin’s Cobalaplex for Bunny. Here is some information about this product: https://www.protexinvet.com/cobalaplex/p6222 It contains B-12, folic acid and prebiotics and is recommended for gastrointestinal health. Bunny’s diarrhoea finally stopped after I started him on Clavamox (thanks to our vet) and Bioflor (thanks to our brilliant pharmacist). Bioflor alone also worked for Indy’s off-and-on…
