Tabs had this problem last year in June. She was balding mostly on her head. The problem was resolved with an anti-allergy injection and three rounds of Revolution spot-on. This year, she started having the same problem again about two weeks ago. It first started with excessive shedding. Then, two small bald spots appeared on…

It’s been one month since Bunny had the eye ulcer. From what we can see, the ulcer hasn’t healed completely. The healing process has been incredibly slow. However, Bunny has finished all his medication and is now also finishing his eye drops as well. He’s been off the painkiller too and the eye doesn’t seem…

My friend recommended FurCoco Coconut Fiber for Bunny’s constipation problem. Her elderly dog benefited a lot from it. So I ordered it from Shopee.com. It is powdered grated organic coconut (please see photo below, with Tabs). And it IS very fragrant. I read that the natural remedies to help with constipation is to increase hydration…

It’s been more than 3 weeks since Bunny first had his eye inflammation problem. It was a very stubborn slow-healing eye ulcer in his right eye. For the first week, he wasn’t on the e-collar and the eye got worse, so for the next two full weeks, he had been on the e-collar with strict…

It’s been very challenging managing Bunny’s eye ailment along with his other medical issues. Bunny has decided (yes, by himself) to switch back to Cubgrub as his staple food. It’s good because Cubgrub has more water content. However, Cubgrub has very little residue, so there may not be daily defecation. That’s what happened with Bunny.…

Bunny’s eye was seemingly improving slowly but it got inflamed again yesterday afternoon. I don’t know what happened as I was not at home for a few hours. We went to the vet’s today. Bunny has also run out of the painkiller (Tramadol) and I really do not want him to be in pain. I…

Bunny’s eye was getting “better” until this morning when he could not open his right eye again. So I took him to the vet’s and it was found that Bunny still has an ulcer, but it isn’t very deep and it is already healing. However, the eye got infected (could be due to scratching or…

The last time Bunny had UTI (which is called FIC nowadays, Feline Idiopathic Cystitis) in October 2021, after 3 days on medication, both his eyes were inflamed and had ulcers in them. It was rather strange and we did not know what caused the eye inflammation, but Nicol Eyedrops (prescribed by the vet) solved the…

Since 1pm yesterday, there has been no straining to urinate. We’re hoping for the best that Bunny’s UTI is on the mend. I managed to collect Bunny’s urine this morning so we sent it to the clinic for a urinalysis. The vet found a very small quantity of struvites in Bunny’s urine sample. That amount…

This morning, I saw Bunny straining to urinate again. It happened on 2nd October 2021 (last year) and it happened again today.  He kept straining in the squatting position but either nothing came out or there were only a few drops of urine. I know every case of FLUTD is a medical emergency (in case…

For quite long now, Bunny has been very, very dependent on routines. His life practically revolves around routines. If you remember, last July, Bunny had a major constipation problem where even enemas did not work and he had to have a manual evacuation done. Since then, he has been on laxatives and supplements to ensure…

Last month, Cleo had her dental done and five teeth were extracted. After that, she had sinus problems resulting from the surgery and that took some time to resolve. Finally, that settled and the next challenge was to get her to take the Renal N powder. Initially, the bread-balls worked, but the success rate was…

Cleo’s sneezing was still going on and off, so the vet suggested we start her on Cetirizine 1/3 tablet once a day. It’s an anti-histamine. Cleo does not need the Bromhexine and Nuelin anymore because her nose is not blocked. It is just a persistent on-off sneezing which hasn’t gone away. Today is Day 3…

I did two rounds of nebulization yesterday and this morning, I only heard Cleo sneeze once. We also managed to pill her today…without any bloodshed or injuries on our parts. Cleo absolutely does not like her head being tilted, so she kept her head horizontally and I was able to open her mouth to plop…

I don’t know why this is happening. Cleo had already stopped sneezing yesterday but it resumed today. She is eating, but very little and she is being very finicky too. One meal has to be broken up into several small meals, with different types of food. I’m trying to keep it to Coco&Joe’s and Cubgrub…
