I think it’s okay to let Cow be off the collar now. It’s been more than 24 hours already. And in any case, he already took it off last night and was probably off-collar for a few hours. He was so happy and spent almost an hour grooming himself. Sleeping restfully….after a huge supper! I…

I tabulated the Cow Clan’s kidney readings: Looks like Cow Mau has the lowest creatinine reading!! Somehow, instinctively the vet didn’t think it was necessary to do the SDMA test on Cow Mau and she was right! The SDMA test is pretty costly…. Super Cow Mau!!! And on top of that, he has the cleanest…

Today was Pole and Cleo’s turn to go to the vet’s for their check-up. Cleo was so extremely stressed, she mewed very loudly all the way in the car, at the clinic, and inside the consultation room! Pole was quiet. Cleo’s obvious issue is the shedding at her flanks. This has been ongoing for 10…

Jia-Wen helped me with Bunny’s first home subcut this morning. I didn’t know what to expect, but I know Bunny is very strong, so it was wise to have someone help. I used Vincent’s favourite minky cloth again, prepared the kit and brought Bunny up. This time, I decided we’ll do it higher up and…

Last night, I was already worried that Cow might break out of his cow-collar. After all, when he was very little (maybe about 1-2 years old), he had a large fight wound on his flank. We took him to get it stitched up; it was done and he was put on the plastic e-collar. I…

Cow had supper just now and I’m so glad his appetite is good despite the extraction and 3 stitches. Our truly super tahan lasak Cow Mau! So much has happened in these few days and I’ll need some time to consolidate everything so that we know how to go forward from here. Let me just…

So, I took Indy to the clinic. Everyone of our cats have already entered the geriatric stage now (7 years and above), so everyone needs a full bloodwork. I knew Indy has to be next because he has had many medical issues in the past. He also has a gum problem (with bad breath quite…

Indy and I drove to the clinic and we reached before 4pm. It was raining heavily. Luckily I had a raincoat, but we parked a bit far, so by the time I got to the clinic, my sports shoes were soaking wet. Luckily Indy was the carrier, so he did not get wet at all.…

Our appointment was at 11.30am. Luckily Jia-Wen hadn’t gone to work yet. It was quite difficult loading Cow into the carrier. He protested and clawed. It took two of us to load him in. The trip there started with mewing at a constant interval, but Cow soon settled down. The journey took about half an…

So, we went to the vet’s, Bunny and I. I handed over the urine and the vet ran the test while she examined Bunny. This is a different vet today (same clinic) so it’s also good to get her opinion. The vet palpated Bunny’s colon and said there are still stools inside, and Bunny is…

I noticed Bunny crouching this morning, like he was straining to defecate. Then, he vomited all his breakfast out. I waited a bit, and gave him some canned chicken, which he was able to retain but later, he vomited clear bile. In 2014, Bunny had a chronic vomiting episode which no vet could figure out,…
