The topic of hyperthyroidism as a possibility of something which Vincent might came up in our discussion and Vincent’s vet said I could get the test done at another clinic if I wanted to though he didn’t think Vincent had it. He also did not have the test. I did want to rule that out.…

Here we go…live-streamed to his vet, his best friend. Vet says to try and hit 180ml Absolutely no struggle at all today. We are in luck. Many thanks for all your good wishes. There was a bit of sun coming in through the curtains and I thought that might just work in our favour because…

Vincent wanted to eat and it was almost 11pm. He came into the kitchen on his own. Eating his usual raw meat and organs. Now, without organs, he will not eat the raw muscle meat. Then, I took a risk… I know bone is missing from Vincent’s diet and he has refused to eat chicken…

It was time for the subcut. Today’s would be the first of this new plan of doing subcut for three days continuously to see if it’s beneficial to Vincent. I brought all the paraphernalia up to Ming-Yi’s room. It would be a totally “new” environment for Vincent as this room is seldom used. The door…

I’ll tell today’s story in chronological order. After the usual sniff-and-stare game, Vincent finally ate his raw meat breakfast this morning. Good boy, Vincent. I cannot play this game too long as I have to get to work. Meanwhile, Vincent has migrated to this step now. He really is descending the stairs – is this…

Vincent only ate twice today, and there were no “A” meals. He licked a little bit of Coco&Joe’s at 10.11am and had a “B” meal of raw meat and organs at 1.55pm. Since then, he hasn’t eaten. When Indy made the supper call just now, he came to the kitchen to join everyone too. To…

I ordered Mercola’s Complete Probiotics on Friday (14th Sept) and it arrived today!! A bit of background about it first. It is highly recommended by Dr Karen Becker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ4RIW1rDM0. I also have used it before for Tiger previously (bought from Asia Paws when Tiger went for acupuncture). It was also recommended by Dr Susanna Santhiram. I…

I’ll say we are off to a pretty good start as far as pilling is concerned. Pole ate well today too! I gave her Monge and Cubgrub to see which she’d like. Of course I was hoping she would eat Cubgrub again. Once any of our cats eat Cubgrub, my worries are over regarding balancing…

I forgot to mention to very important things I learnt at the vet’s today. The first is regarding Vincent’s diet. As you know, we were so desperate to just get him to eat initially, so we adopted the principle of letting him eat whatever he wants as long as he is willing to eat it.…

Luckily the vet insisted on seeing Ginger again today. If he had left it to us, we wouldn’t have brought Ginger back because (in our untrained mind and eye), we really thought Ginger’s wound was healing very well. But the vet said he would like to see Ginger again. However, Ginger had other plans. As…

Last night, I managed to receive a response from a senior vet whom I consulted about Pole. This vet agreed that we needn’t wait for 2 weeks with the medication. Instead, we should get the blood test done as soon as possible (results could be obtained within 20 mins) and if Pole is fit for…

I decided it would be wiser to let Pole settle down properly and completely after a few traumatic experiences today – the trip to the clinic, our attempt to spray the Biosilver (which failed miserably) and our next attempt to squirt the Biosilver using the syringe (which failed).  We also attempted to trim her nails…

Ming-Yi and I took Pole to the vet’s today. Waiting for our turn. I already informed the vet that Pole is extremely nervous and “jumpy” so he was prepared. The only times Pole had ever been to the vet’s was for her kitten vaccinations and spaying. There was also one other time when I mistakenly…

Yesterday was a bad day for Vincent. He only ate breakfast and after that, it was the sad staring game. He came to the kitchen at lunch time, dinner and supper, but could not bring himself to eat. Vincent and me, last night, at the landing. This morning he came to the kitchen again, but…
