Animal “shelter” Or Animal “hoarding”? 28th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
The sad news: https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/law -and-crime/article/3007965/decomposing-bodies-dogs -and-cats-found-new-territories
In our experience, we have encountered a few cases of hoarding before. The animals were in dire straits and yet the caregiver/hoarder still thought that he/she was giving them the best and that no other person can do better than he/she.
Hoarding is a mental disease and the animals are the victims.
Sometimes, the caregiver starts off with good intentions, b...

Solid Gold Superfood For Zurik And Everyone! 27th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
I was looking for a high protein kibble for Zurik (since he loves kibble so much). Coincidentally, Ecopet Sdn Bhd (sister company of Avant Pet) just brought in their latest product from the USA, Solid Gold.
Website: https://www.solidgoldpet.com/
The question isn’t “what is Solid Gold,” it’s “who is Solid Gold.” Solid Gold is a group of animal lovers, explorers, and nutritionists who want to give their pets the best. Our pets give so much to us so we&rsqu...

Yes, I Will Become A Sponsor For Tasmez! 27th Apr 2019, by Soi Dog Foundation
Tasmez was rescued from a life of suffering on the streets. She had nobody looking after her and was having to scavenge for food and fend off attacks from other dogs.
Now she is safe, but she still needs you. Will you please sponsor her? https://bit.ly/Yes_I_Will_Sponsor_Tasmez
Her stressful past has left Tasmez scared of most humans, meaning she is not yet ready for a home of her own. But by joining the Sponsor Club, you can give dogs like her the food, medical care, and socialisation they ...

Cat Tunnels For The Cats! 27th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
Seeing how Heidi loves the laundry basket, we decided to buy cat tunnels from Ikea today! Also, Ginger needs to exercise so we are hoping he will play in the tunnels.
Heidi was the first to try out the tunnel. She wasn’t scared. She ran in and came out, and sped off into her safehouse!
Ginger had to check it out first. On the outside.
Tabs didn’t dare go in. What if it’s a trap??
Finally Ginger went in.
We bought two – one for the Cow Clan and one for the Blanket Cats...

Zurik Plays With Heidi 27th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
Heidi is an old cat, but she still loves to play. Very often, she plays with Tabs. But since Tabs is a timid cat and Heidi can play rough, Tabs is often scared of Heidi.
Lately, Heidi has been playing inside our laundry basket. She loves going inside to scratch, roll about, then run off and hide in her safehouse (the blue carrier, which is hers).
Who would know that his simple laundry basket can be such a source of joy for Heidi’s playtime?!!
Zurik played with her today.
Heidi’s r...

Zurik’s Blunt Teeth And Still More On FIP 27th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
Zurik has “blunt” teeth. You’d think that is less dangerous, but it isn’t necessarily so. He can inflict blunt force trauma on me when I feed him his medicines!
But I suppose blunt force trauma is less painful than sharp teeth injury!! There is less likelihood of puncture wounds which warrant a tetanus shot!
It was a good reminder for me to read from the catvirus.com page that raw meat is good for FIP cats. So I will offer Zurik some raw meat at the start of his me...

Inappropriate Videos On Social Media Are Hurting C.. 27th Apr 2019, by Roots & Shoots Malaysia
“We have the choice to be responsible in the way we portray animals (captive and in the wild) and how we promote, or in this case, remove and/or not promote problematic content.
If you care about chimpanzees, as many people interacting with this content have suggested they do, you would investigate further to understand the cruelty behind this content and what we can each do to divest from endorsing, liking and sharing content of this kind, for this instance and in the future.”

Debunking The Myth Of L-Lysine Benefits For Cats 27th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
“Cats with FIP, those that have been exposed to and have the coronavirus and those who are at risk of developing FIP should never be given L–lysine. The reason is clear. Arginine is necessary for a good, healthy immune system. As explained, L–lysine prevents arginine from being taken up in the body.”

Zurik’s Saliva-Spitting Technique And More About FIP 27th Apr 2019, by AnimalCare
Every day, after medicines, Zurik will ask for a reward from the kitchen. His reward is Cindy’s Salmon Recipe (with chicken) kibble. This is his current favourite kibble. He eats raw chicken fillet for breakfast.
Zurik has also perfected a saliva-spitting technique because he hates having liquids syringed into his mouth. Here is how he does it: The moment he knows I am going to syringe in either RetroMAD1 or Vetri DMG, he accumulates saliva in his mouth. Then, when I syringe in the liquid...
