• A tribute to dearest Cleo (19th Feb 2007 – 23rd Oct 2023)

    Cleo was one of our Super Seniors. She had a clean bill of health all her life until she was diagnosed with early-stage chronic kidney failure (CKD) in September 2019, together with her mother, Pole. Cleo was 12 years old then. From then on, she was merely on thrice-weekly subcut and a raw diet. I…


  • Farewell, our sweetest Cleo

    Cleo passed away very, very peacefully at 6.23pm today. My husband and I were with her all the way. It was at about 6.15pm that I counted her breathing and it was 24, which is normal. The next time I counted, it was 15 so I knew it was slowing down. Cleo did not struggle…


  • Cleo’s evening

    Since 4pm today, Cleo has been recumbent. I tried to give her the Sucralfate, but she resisted and mewed loudly in protest. So I know she doesn’t want it anymore. She has very little strength left. So I brought her into the room and placed her on a mat. She has been there since and…


  • Cleo’s afternoon and Kidney Support Gold

    Although I know there is nothing much we can do for Cleo medically, I am still looking for ways to give her more comfort and serenity. I was completely thrilled last week when I discovered that Pet Wellbeing’s Kidney Support Gold is available in the Klang Valley now and I quickly ordered a bottle. It…


  • Cleo is earthing

    I think Cleo is earthing for comfort and healing. That is why she sits on the grass, rocks and soil. She responds to me when I sit next to her. I guess animals want to be close to Nature. And of course, they need tender loving care too. I’m so glad Cleo is home, surrounded…

  • JoTong visits Imm’s Shelter

    JoTong made a trip back to Ipoh recently and she visited Judy and Imm at the shelter! Here are some photos of the lovely cats and dogs, whom JoTong says are very well looked after: Judy says this is a new young dog who just joined the CNRM colony outside. After Fluff and Harry recovered…


  • Cleo’s morning and keeping her comfortable

    I’m afraid I do not have any good news to share. Despite giving her the Mirtazapine, Cleo did not have any appetite this morning. I even steamed fish for her, thinking that the change of food and flavour might encourage her to eat, but she merely licked a bit of it. Cleo’s hind legs are…


  • Neutering aid for 4 dogs in Balakong (Tong Yut Fun’s) & Updates

    We have fully sponsored RM760 for the neutering of these 4 female dogs. The charges were RM180 per dog in one clinic (for 2 dogs) and RM200 per dog in another (for another 2 dogs). They were sent to two clinics as the boarding facilities are limited in each clinic. All four dogs were very…


  • Cleo this evening

    There has been no bloody stools after the one I reported in the afternoon. It wasn’t efficient feeding Cleo the crushed Metrogyl tablet and mixing the Tranexamine Acid (TXA) powder (from the capsule) with pasty food. Perhaps only half of it got in. So tomorrow, I’m going to try to plonk the Metrogyl tablet and…


  • Sucralfate thrice daily now for Cleo

    Seeing how Cleo passed out bloody stools just now, the vet advised to increase the Sucralfate to three times a day and the hold off on the blood thinner first (Clopidogrel). The sun was so hot, so we carried Cleo back to the cage. At least it’s not direct sunlight. The afternoon sun can be…


  • The healing sunshine for Cleo

    Luckily I managed to reach Cleo’s vet before she left the clinic for the day. As for the bloody stools, she says to leave out the Clopidogrel (blood thinner) for now as it may worsen the platelet function. The tranexamic acid and Sucralfate should address the bleeding. Maybe it needs more time to work. Meanwhile……


  • Bloody stools from Cleo

    It just happened. I saw Cleo passing out small amounts of bloody stools. I have already texted the vet and hope she sees it before the clinic closes. This may mean that there is still some bleeding somewhere, but where? There are no fluids in her abdominal scan taken yesterday evening. Somewhere in her digestive…


  • Cleo is home!!! (blood pressure back up)

    The vet texted this morning to say Cleo was very talkative (mewing a lot to greet everyone!) and the best news ever – her blood pressure is back up to 100!! This is the greatest relief of the day! So Cleo could already come home! Yay! This photo was sent by the vet first thing…


  • Happy Meatless Sunday – Health advice from Dr Chidi Ngwaba, a cardiothoracic surgeon

    This youtube has tons of good nutritional advice from Dr Chidi Ngwaba, a cardiothoracic surgeon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJhhNXWkkEA He recommends a plant-based diet, cutting out as much “white stuff” as possible (white rice, white flour, white refined sugar, etc.). These spices are good: Turmeric, Ginger, Cinnamon, Cardamon. Berries are good. For depression: Physical activity, Do something you…
