• A response on the case of the Siberian Husky

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/12/23/the-case-of-the-2-year-old-siberian-husky/ This is from Maneki: Your post about the lady who wanted to just dump her husky made me so sad. Huskies are absurdly ill-suited to Malaysian life for so many reasons. They’re high-energy dogs with a powerful work drive, and of course their double-coat is not meant for life in the tropics. It breaks…

  • The Pet Project Malaysia needs trustworthy volunteers (7th Jan 2012)

    Dear all, As you may have read earlier in my posts, we will be participating in the above project, which is a very interesting and invigorating (!) 12-hour dance and sports marathon, which is scheduled to be held on 7th January. The organiser, Sabrina Saw, is requesting help in the following areas below. If you…

  • Tabs shows her alpha-ness

    Ever since the vet told me Tabs is on heat, and being a young kitten, she can come on heat every two weeks (!), we’ve been keeping her confined in the house until she can be spayed as there are tomcats around the area. And Tabs is NOT happy! It’s ironical that a few days…

  • RetroMAD1 news for Penangites!

Could you please speak with your respective vets and let them know about the efficacy of this drug? If they are interested to use the drug, please contact…

  • 2 female cats spayed (Maslinda’s)

    Yesterday, we sponsored the spaying of 2 female cats brought in by Maslinda, on behalf of a feeder in Shah Alam: Attached are the 2 cats sent for spaying today from a feeder in shah alam. they even named these two cats since they regularly fed them from the back alley. both cats recently gave…

  • The case of the 2-year old Siberian Husky

    Two days ago, a lady (who only speaks Chinese) called me asking for help. Apparently, her friend wants to “throw” her Siberian Husky out on the streets. This lady asked if I could take the dog in. Gosh, I don’t run a shelter, I said. I cannot take any dog in. Why don’t you advise…

  • A new litter-box for Tabs

    I went out to buy a new litter-box for Tabs since she is already litter-box trained. The one I have is rather small. That’s Tiger (not Tabs) looking at the new litter-box. Everyone is welcome to use it. When I move, I have two big jobs – confining the cats and re-training them to use…

  • 39.3 and going down, I hope (Indy’s temperature)

    This evening, Indy went for his jab again and with bated breath, we took his temperature. 39.3 degrees! Still considered low-grade fever, but it looks like his temperature is going down – Hooray!! The hypothesis now is Indy may have contracted toxoplasmosis but his body weathered the storm and now, he is on the road…

  • Bunny and Tabs go to the vet’s

    I’m really becoming a permanent feature at the vet’s these days, aren’t I? So, Bunny and Tabs went to the vet’s. Bunny with his non-stop orchestra, and Tabs, would you know it, was feverishly scratching at the carrier latch to let herself out. Poor thing…  Bunny, complaining all the way.  Tabs, determined to get out.…

  • Tabs doesn’t belong to the new neighbour

    I finally plucked up courage to go over to the neighbour’s to enquire about Tabs. “Courage” as in being emotionally prepared to accept what they say and make a decision. I’ve been so busy and anxious over Indy and Bunny I wasn’t ready to take on Tabs’ case yet. But today, I went over and…

  • Bunny and Indy’s acupuncture session

    Dr Susanna arrived at my house on the dot and was welcomed by Tabs! Tabs was a most gracious host, you’d almost think she’s been properly groomed at finishing school. Dr Susanna immediately said Tabs has some British Shorthair or European Shorthair in her. She’s partly purebred – it shows  on the roundness of her…

  • The storm is not over yet for Indy

    So off we went, Indy and I, on our twice-daily pilgrimage to the vet’s for Indy’s Trixone jabs. I had earlier texted the vet with the good news that Indy is eating on his own already and he did pee and poo.  Indy wanted to come out and explore the clinic. The injection was given…

  • A request to help some kittens (Yi Lian Low’s)

    A request below. I have written to Yi Lian (Sophia) if she would consider picking them up and doing the needful. From: Sophia buttercupyl@hotmail.com Message: Dear Dr Chan, I went to the morning market today around 8.40am and saw a cardbox containing about 5 kittens and 1 dead. I’m not sure how old are they…

  • Bunny limps…

    Gosh, could it be the calicivirus? Bunny went out this morning, after breakfast and I later found him under a car. With Bunny, it may be easier as he loves food. So, I brought some Fussie Cat out and put it next to him (he was within reach, but he’s so heavy, I don’t think…

  • Indy eats on his own!!!

    Indy slept on our bed all of last night. I woke up a few times throughout the night to check on him and his body did not feel overly warm. I was worried the fever would escalate in the night. This morning I woke to find him walking around the room, as though waiting for…
