• MBI, please reconsider. Dogs do not transmit Covid19.

    We refer to this report: https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2020/04/11/animal-to-human-transmission-ipoh-council-rounds-up-strays-just-in-case We urge and appeal to MBI (Ipoh City Council) to please reconsider their decision to capture street dogs because as far as research shows now, dogs do not transmit Covid19 to humans. It is vice-versa. Therefore, it is unnecessary to round up street dogs for this purpose. We also refer…

  • “Ops Subuh” (Minnie & Smurfy are inside the house now)

    It was about 6.30am this morning. Minnie and Smurfy were waiting for me right outside our front door. As I opened the door to go out to feed them, a thought occurred to me. It’s not a new thought, though, I already thought of it last night. Why not, instead of luring them into the…

  • Tabs’ nebulization

    Tabs had two bouts of coughing today, so I decided to nebulize her. I didn’t know what to expect as Ginger is an exceptional case. “The first cat ever to like sniffing in the fumes” was the vet’s description of Ginger when the nebulization was done at the clinic. Even at home, he does the…

  • Minnie and Smurfy’s adventures continue

    Here are some photos of our feeding sessions. Both still have a ravenous appetite, especially little Smurfy. Minnie is not as hungry as before now. The trouble with both is that they like to play and lounge in the middle of the road and they are both grey in colour. I had a hard time…

  • The cats’ new bed

    With Yui Ping’s help, I moved the bench out and in its place now is a super single mattress placed on the floor. Knowing for sure the super-alphas would spray, I first wrapped the mattress with a tarpaulin, then with a french flannel blanket and next with these two pieces of blankets. It’s an 8-inch…

  • Bunny’s check-up today

    Today was Bunny’s check-up and I was nervous as the vet had said those with underlying problems like hyperthyroidism and high blood (such as Pole) and FIV might progress faster in this kidney disease. Bunny is FIV+, has been since he was a kitten. He used to be very weak when young, taking a very…

  • MCO-Relief Petfood Donation (Norsafarina Munir)

    Pn Norsafarina Munir is a cat caregiver in Tanjung Malim. She was highly recommended through a contact of one of our applicants to receive our petfood aid. Pn Ina (as she is known) currently feeds about 60 cats in all, 30 already brought into her house and 30 at her workplace. She says many cafes…

  • What Jane Goodall says about Covid19

    The article: https://www.nst.com.my/world/world/2020/04/583524/jane-goodall-disrespect-animals-caused-covid-19-pandemic Goodall: It is our disregard for nature and our disrespect of the animals we should share the planet with that has caused this pandemic, that was predicted long ago. Because as we destroy, let’s say the forest, the different species of animals in the forest are forced into a proximity and therefore diseases…

  • By the way, what rotten tooth, again? (Pole’s story)

    Ref: https://animalcare.my/2020/04/14/poles-visit-to-the-vets-not-so-good/ I forgot to mention one important observation on Pole today, but this needs two backstories. Two years ago, Pole was pawing badly at her mouth until she could no longer eat. Her vet wasn’t around, so I had to see another vet at the same clinic. This vet said Pole had a very rotten…

  • Tabs has a cough

    A very mild one. She started coughing this morning and again this afternoon, so I took no chances. While I did not take her the vet, the vet prescribed an antihistamine (Cetirizine) and a broncodilator (Neulin) for Tabs. She says I could also nebulize Tabs. I haven’t done it yet tonight as she seems fine…

  • Pole’s visit to the vet’s (not so good)

    Okay, now, for the not-so-good news…. Pole’s. Some background first: Pole is hyperthyroid and is on life-long transdermal Methimazole. This brought her hyperthyroidism under good control. She has kidney insufficiency as evidenced by her kidney readings and her previous urine SG of 1.019 (normal is 1.035), but her UPC was normal (no protein leak in…

  • Indy’s visit to the vet’s

    The reason I decided to take Indy is that he only has one functioning kidney. One of his kidneys is much smaller than the other and this is probably from way, way back when he was first rescued from the drain as a tiny kitten with all kinds of infections. Indy was making noise in…

  • Cleo to the vet’s (all ok)

    If you remember, the other day Cleo declared war on me when I tried to do her subcut alone.  I enlisted Yui Ping’s help but he in turn got bitten by the tigress. I finally managed to, using AD to entice her, but with Cleo, what works once, will probably not work again. So, today,…

  • Cats and coronavirus

    Another article: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=12322759&fbclid=IwAR3lTcmkN3tshHWcYJ1CrUTQRpODYrEJUMaikF0e3d5wGr6jIaxQrbmtEaY Some excerpts: Whereas the two canine SARS-CoV-2 cases had no obvious clinical signs relating to Covid-9, the cat at the centre of the latest media attention did have respiratory symptoms. But as every vet knows, cats can have breathing difficulties for many reasons, from feline asthma to heart disease. Similarly, there is a…

  • Vet’s assurance to cat owners over pandemic confusion

    Please read this: https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/nottingham-vets-message-cat-owners-4038832?fbclid=IwAR3EgwtfVggQcyedYmlaZ-2ueRwfBau27FGuLvHDHSgSAK0dg9-1Gy4FZ5E Copied from the link above: “It has been reported that a small number of cats have been tested positive for COVID-19. “However, these statements are based on a very small number of experimental studies where cats were artificially infected with COVID-19 and, reassuringly, none of these cats were found to shed the…
