It took transdermal Mirtazapine to do the trick. I asked the vet if I could use it and once given the a-okay, I applied 0.2ml onto his inner ear. After about one hour, I came home with fresh chicken meat and offered some to Smurfy… ….and Smurfy eats!!! Hooray!

Rey & Robin came back on Saturday (that’s 4 days ago) and Minnie, Smurfy and Lynx came back yesterday. Rey & Robin are the ones with the medical issues that needed to be addressed, but they settled down remarkably well and fast, and are 100% confident and comfortable now.  Whenever I open the door to…

Here’s the results of today’s medical check up for Minnie, Smurfy and Lynx. SMURFY Weight: 5.4kg Applied Advocate spot-on Smurfy has an infected wound on the right side of his body, infected with round bacteria. Treatment – Clean with chlorohexidine and apply Fucidin twice a day. Because of this wound, the lymph node near the…

I shall not repeat the backstory for Bunny and it’s a long story. Ever since I started a more “rojak” diet for Bunny, it has really helped with his constipation problem. I think adding kibble and canned creates bulk – it’s as simple as that. So he is able to defecate, but he is still…

I gave Robin a bath as well and that was quite a disaster! He was literally screaming and Rey didn’t even bother to come out to look! Anyway, it was a quick bath and he got dry very quickly. For dinner, thanks to a friendly reminder by my friend, Agnes, I put pumpkin together with…

I did it! Single-handedly! And got scratched in the process and I think there might be a hole in my tshirt too, but never mind!  I was home alone with Jayden so I asked Jia-Wen to come over for a few minutes to look after Jayden. First, I prepared the towels, the e-collar and the…

Robin is not out of the woods yet. This morning, I found 2 patches of diarrhoea in the litter box and 2 more random patches (but very tiny) on the floor and the basin. I fed them breakfast but Robin is naughty, he totally refuses to eat the Hill’s ID now. Instead, Rey LOVES it…

This is going to be a very long story…. Here’s a record of what’s wrong with both of them and the treatment administered: REY Weight 5.5kg (that’s good) Has tongue ulcer due to virus – to give Vetri DMG Has the flu – also Vetri DMG Ear infection – to apply Pyo Clean (more effective…

It was Ginger! And how did this new theory come about? Well, I’m limping now, that’s why! It happened this evening when I was walking into the kitchen and I bumped into Ginger as he was coming out. All of a sudden, I felt an extremely piercing pain on the sole of my foot and…

Today is Day 7 of Indy’s paw wound. These are yesterday’s (Day 6) photos: I am a little surprised that this secondary (tunneled) wound is taking longer to heal compared with the primary (original wound) at the bottom. How does that work? Anyway, the swelling seems to have gone down. But the trouble with these…

After wondering, searching and combing the garden with a fine-tooth comb for a few days, we FINALLY found what could have caused the puncture wound on the bottom of Indy’s paw. It must be this and it accounts for everything. Ever since the Blue House was brought into Bunny’s Garden, Indy would stand on top…

Indy had been doing very well right after we started treating his paw wound but I did wonder why the paw was still swollen. Yesterday morning, I noticed “another” wound directly on top of the earlier wound. So this would be on top of the paw. I quickly texted the vet with photos but the…

Bunny had diarrhoea four days ago. The next day, I stopped all his constipation medication and supplements and only gave him plain steamed chicken. The diarrhoea stopped. And the following day, I started back his constipation medication but that was also the day he had the eye problem and I took all three (Indy, Ginger…

Yes, even last night, he was already “back”! This morning, he was already jumping up the wooden shelves and during wound cleaning time, he even stretched out his paw for me!  What a good boy. I think it’s also the effect of the painkillers. At least without experiencing the pain, he has regained his confidence…

I took all three of them to the vet’s today…alone. Ginger was for his check-up because he has finished all his medication. Bunny was for the eye that suddenly could not open but seemed okay now. Still, I did not want to take any risks because the last time I did, I applied the eyedrop…
