• Cleo’s final journey and some reflections about life and death

    Jia-Wen popped over to pay his last respects to Cleo. He’s all bundled up because he has Covid-19, just diagnosed yesterday, and it’s his second time. Sigh. Jayden and Gerald Pet Memorial staff collecting Cleo’s remains. Misty Goodbye, dearest Cleo. Gerald providing some comfort. Funerals and last rites are for the survivors. It gives us…

  • Flowers for Cleo

    Kai and Akira with Cleo. Cleo is so amazingly clean. Since yesterday until now, there has been no discharge of any kind from her remains. This is despite the medication and subcut she was on prior to her demise. She has always been a very, very meticulously clean cat all her life too. Peaceful and…

  • Doing work in memory of Cleo

    I definitely need time to grieve and mourn the loss of Cleo. But there was work to be done last night, it is as always, AnimalCare work and I decided to do them, in memory of Cleo. There are caregivers to help, animals to help; the work doesn’t stop. There are a lot of behind-the-scenes…

  • 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……
