Cow’s Pilling Sessions (Round 8)
15th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Cow’s pilling sessions twice a day had been eventful. If I do not use the vertical carrier trick, I would have a small bite mark to show after each session.
Even with the carrier trick, he could still spit the pill out. Nevertheless, I’ve reached Round 8 this evening and I did it this round without the carrier! And no, he also did not bite me!
Rewarding Cow after each session.
He recovered very quickly the next day, as predicted by the vet. Apparently, when prescribed the correct...

Grooming Bobby
15th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
We had been grooming Bobby on our own (with scissors) for the entire duration of his life. However, ever since he became blind, he’s been very afraid of the sound of the scissors so we had not been able to groom him lately.
A few days ago, I spoke with a groomer who had had more than 10 years experience in grooming dogs. He said I could bring Bobby to his shop and he would access to see if Bobby was “groom-able”.
So the appointment was made for yesterday and I brought Bobby ove...

You Don’t Need To Buy Your Pets
15th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Why buy a pet when you can adopt one from the street or the many shelters around us? Or, go to the many websites and facebook pages which are advertising pets for adoption (like us!) and choose one from there.
Here’s a sharing by Rayna, of her beloved “pets”. They are all former street cats, from different backgrounds. Now, Rayna looks after them.
Read her story:
They used to be my neighbor’s cat. As far as I know, they stopped feeding the cats already leaving them in t...

Sabah May Be The First In Asia To Ban Shark Trade
15th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
From Insight Sabah:
Sharks evolved 400m years ago to keep oceans healthy. As predators, they rule the underwater world. But they are losing a battle against man. The latest score: Sharks have killed 13 people so far this year. Man kills 73m of them every year largely for their fins which are turned into a culinary delicacy in Asia. Now environmentalists are stepping up a worldwide campaign to stop people from eating them. And Sabah may become the first in Asia to ban shark hunting next year.

This Is Why I Write
15th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
I published my first non-academic book, Pawprints on My Heart, in 2008. My friends had been asking me to write for sometime and that day, it was Earth Hour 2008 and the lights were all turned off. Being one who is so used to doing something all the time, I needed to do something while waiting for that one hour to pass. So I sat down, and wrote, under minimal light from the dynamo-operated portable lamp, the first three chapters in Pawprints.
That year, I wrote three books within the span of tw...

Two Female Cats Spayed (Pn Azie’s)
15th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Pn Azie called me last week, requesting help with the alley cats whom she feeds. Apparently, her neighbours hate the cats and according to her, they caught the cats and burnt their paws. I checked with the vet who attended to her cats and he said it looked more like the cats had stepped on some corrosive substance.
Pn Azie’s request was for us to help her with the spaying cost of these cats, so we agreed.
Two of her female cats have now been spayed under our sponsorship.

Brownie Is Neutered Today (Winnie Low’s)
14th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Brownie and Angel are the son-mother doggies rescued from North Port in Klang where Winnie Low’s father feeds 20 odd stray dogs, left abandoned on a barren piece of land.
Winnie sent Angel for spaying under our sponsorship and Brownie was found to be too young to be neutered. So, he was vaccinated instead.
Three days after the vaccination, Brownie collapsed. He soon had bloody diarrhoea.
Brownie was rushed to the vet’s and was diagnosed with parvo virus. His blood count was inc...

Updates From Imm’s Shelter In Ipoh
14th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Below are some updates from Judy Chua, who is helping Oei Phaik Imm manage her animal shelter in Tambun, Ipoh.
Flashback: In March this year, Judy wrote to me to seek help for Phaik Imm, who is in her sixties. At that point in time, Imm was depressed, frustrated and in very poor health. She was facing grave financial problems in upkeeping her shelter and her animals, and even had thoughts of getting all her animals euthanised, because she could no longer cope. Being one who also suffers f...

Request For Help (Sheryl Hoh’s)
14th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Here are some news and a few requests from Sheryl Hoh:
1) The kitten I’ve requested help to broadcast about fosterer / adopter has been adopted by Papa Hero today. As you can see, the kitten’s ears are perfectly fine now. She’s still a little thin but very healthy, bright and manja. A kind lady has paid for the kitten’s treatments.

Cat Tries To Revive Dead Friend
14th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Sheryl Hoh sent this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M80QDLaV9tI&a mp;feature=related
It shows a street cat trying to revive her dead friend. It’s like doing CPR, which I was told, is a natural thing for animals to do for their loved ones. I remember when Mac passed away, Bobby did this “CPR” on Mac many, many times, and each time he paused, he would look at us in distress, although saying, “Why isn’t Mac moving?”. Although the two fought for 13 years, t...
