Home-Cooking Again; Deboning This Time.
12th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
I joined Andi Brown’s FB exchange on homecooking for pets (actually it’s for dog recipes) and learnt that we should not give cooked bones, even if it is ground. The reason is that even finely ground bones would have sharp fragments and also cooked bones has no more nutritional value.
So, this evening, I steamed chicken breast, liver, chicken ribs and after it had cooled, I deboned the ribs.
Apparently, I just learnt that by cooking the bones together with the meat, the calcium would ...

A Pregnant Cat And A Little Tail-Less Lizard
11th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
This evening, my husband wanted to go out for dinner, so we drove to one of the coffee shops nearby. As I alighted from the car, a pregnant cat came mewing towards me. She walked up to my feet and let me pat her.
In my heart of hearts, I wish I could take her home and give her a safe place to deliver her babies. But then, what would happen after that? Each time we take an animal home, we must always be prepared to adopt the animal, and in this case, she and her babies, should we fail to find the...

Updates On Brainy (from The Anonymous Fosterer)
11th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/03/11/very-urge nt-kitten-milk-needed-injured-kitten-needs-nursing -care/
We wish to thank everyone who has prayed hard for Brainy ever since this morning.
At this moment, Brainy is still hanging on, and fighting for his life. My friend (the anonymous fosterer) has been giving milk and glucose water every 2 hours and keeping Brainy as warm as possible. Brainy responds when he is touched at the spinal area. Otherwise, he is quiet.
My friend wrote to me:

Hi KY,
We just came back from the 2 areas after searching since 8.30am. No Ofie. We walked in the back alleys, called him and shake the food in the containers and our keys. He could be anywhere by now! As it’s now school holidays, Connie and her kids will go back to look some more. It’s really like looking for that needle in the hay stack. Plus Ofie could be very scared and remain hi...

Homecooking For Our Pets – The Debate About Bones
11th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
I refer to my post http://myanimalcare.org/2012/03/02/restartin g-on-the-home-cooked-food-again/
There will always be an ongoing debate about feeding bones to your animals.
Here’s what I have gathered, though I strongly urge you to seek expert advice before feeding bones to your animals.
The below is only a sharing and is by no means, nutritional advice.
1. Raw bone is good for our animals because it contains calcium and bone marrow. Bone marrow has a wonderful quality that is very good f...

Mixed Practice Keeps You On Your Toes
11th Mar 2012, by Dr Rayya's Online Veterinary Journal
I sure love mixed practice. I have been treating a myriad of cases lately from birdies to doggies and kitty cats.
I also received a phone call from one of my favourite clients giving me the heads up that her cows are due to start calving.
She had a bad season last year requiring us to help her pull out a quite a few calves. Hopefully we don’t have to be as involved as we were last year because her bank account sure took a beating.
Even though it has been awfully quiet on the bookings ...
