As you might remember, due to Pole’s hyperthyroid and kidney condition, she can only eat small meals frequently throughout the day. So, it’s “normal” for Pole to ask for food many times a day, especially at night. Last night, Pole did not ask for food. That’s a red flag. Something was definitely wrong. I offered…

Cow Mau started sneezing on Sunday. By Monday, I started him on Lysine, Vetri DMG and Bromhexine (a mucolytic) and I had also made an appointment for him at the vet’s for today. I was worried it might be cat flu and Cow being FIV+, I didn’t want to take any chances. However, today, his…

Tabs seems better now. Her stools are still a little bit soft, though, but there is no more jelly substance. Her behaviour is also back to normal. I updated Tabs’ vet and she did not rule out a possible allergic and unexpected reaction to the liver supplement so we are not giving her that anymore,…

Last night, we rushed Tabs to emergency at the 24-hour pet hospital. It started with her not wanting to eat dinner. She only licked a bit of food. Then, she looked unwell. I gave her Omeprazole. About an hour later, she passed loose stools with “jelly”. It was light brown with transparent glue-like slime. One…

Two days ago, we noticed some redness on one of Rio’s scrotum. It looked like an inflamed wound. So, it was off to the vet’s with Rio (on Tuesday). Luckily, it wasn’t a castration wound. That had already healed. The vet said it was an external wound. Rio must have somehow got it lacerated. Now,…

Indy actually started eating baby food on his own yesterday afternoon. By evening, he was able to eat his raw food, though the amount was less than his usual. Today, he was also able to eat his raw food, but still at a reduced amount. Hopefully, his appetite will be back to normal gradually. This…

Indy refused breakfast this morning and looked quite miserable. Sometimes, Indy does skip a meal but he would remain active. This morning, he looked sick and his body also felt warm to the touch. He only went to defecate and his faeces were normal. Then, he just slept on a pillow the whole morning and…

The Greystoke Kittens have reached five-and-a-half months old and are finally neutered today! Rey and Lynx, being the strongest, also donated blood plasma to the clinic (to be kept frozen for any patient who might need it). Robin and Rio were neutered first, followed by Rey and Lynx. The procedures were done one by one.…

There was an emergency situation last night. The vet called in the evening and informed us that Heidi needed a blood transfusion. Heidi took a turn for the worse and was going down. The blood transfusion was supposed to be for today (Monday), but Heidi just deteriorated rapidly all of a sudden. The blood donor…

Heidi did not regain her appetite, but she did eat very small amounts of various kinds of food yesterday. Whatever she wanted, I let her eat. It ranged from Pole’s renal kibble to different types of canned food. She wasn’t interested in her regular food at all. This morning, we took her to the vet…

It was at 10pm last night that Heidi was willing to eat some food on her own. This morning, she came upstairs and jumped onto our bed at dawn, so that gave me some hope that her condition would improve. But she did not eat her breakfast this morning and is not interested in food…

Heidi’s usual morning routine is to come upstairs and jump onto our bed in the middle of the night or at dawn without fail, every single day, but she did not do it this morning. Then, she did not want to eat breakfast. It’s not uncommon for Heidi to skip a meal, though. But I…

There was a war cry episode between Indy and Bunny last night. This afternoon, Bunny’s right eye was swollen and he was also squinting. So, it was off to the vet’s this evening. Indy is a big bully. I think he also picks on Bunny because Bunny is blind. The vet checked and Bunny’s right…

All the kittens had their third vaccination yesterday and they were also dewormed. This completes their baby vaccination and the next is only due next year. The vet advised that I should reduce their food as all of them can do with some slimming down! So yes, we are doing that now. After coming home…

On Friday evening, Bunny gave me quite a scare. Suddenly, he looked ill and did not want to eat…at all. For Bunny to refuse food – that is always an alarm bell. But it was already late evening and the vet was closed. Bunny also felt a bit warm to the touch. The worrying thing…
