Another Sporo Cat (Elaine’s)
24th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Yesterday, while I was at the clinic, I met Elaine, a college student. Elaine is a cat rescuer and she had just brought in a sporo cat. While we were there, the FIV-FeLV test was being done, and the cat was found to be FIV positive. I suggested that Elaine request for the RetroMAD1 since it has shown very good results with FIV symptomatic cats.
I also offered our medical help for the cat, should Elaine require it.
Upon further discussion, it turned out that Elaine is a student from my college!

Visiting Sugar (Eling Chan’s)
24th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2011/11/sugar-rescue d-dog-needs-hind-leg-amputation-eling-chans/
I went to check on Sugar today. Apparently, Sugar has a great appetite and gobbled up her food, which is a good sign. Part of her blood test results are out and to quote the vet, “it isn’t fantastic, but it isn’t that bad”. The vets were extremely busy today, so we did not want to take up too much of their time. The vets will wait for all the results to be in before proceed...

Having A Closer Look At Sunshine Courage’s X-Rays
24th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Today, my friend brought Sunshine’s X-Rays and we consulted our panel vet for his opinion.
The spinal chord IS broken at the lumbar vertebrae L6. It is obliterated and bits of it is crushed. From a medical point of view, an injury of this nature causes lifelong paralysis and Sunshine will not be able to walk again.
Her heart is not enlarged, but her lungs do not look too good.
Thanks to the homeopathy medicine from Dr Susanna, my friend was able to express all the compacted faeces you ...

Photos Of Sunshine Courage’s First Acupuncture Treatment
24th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
My friend sent these photos and a description of Sunshine Courage’s first acupuncture treatment on Monday:
Hi Kah Yein,
I just remembered that I hadn’t sent you the photos at Sunshine’s 1st acupuncture session at Dr Susanna’s clinic.
We did not take her out of the opened carrier as we wanted to minimise movement. The towel over her head has been useful in keeping her calm and she even fell asleep during the session with her head wrap on!!
I’d like to thank Joan Sh...

Philippines: ACRES Responds To RWS
24th Nov 2011, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
ACRES to RWS: Set the record straight I refer to the letter "Dolphins bound for Singapore park not endangered" (Inquirer11/22/11). Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) states it believes in "controlled collection of particular species" and that it complied with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). However, can RWS clarify if it conducted proper scientific studies into the status of the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins in the Solomon Islands prior to ...

Finding Lost Animals
24th Nov 2011, by SPCA Singapore
SPCA thanks all those who have helped to reunite lost animals with their owners by calling us when you come across one. But SPCA needs a bit more help. If the animal is running loose, we would need callers to confine it or monitor it to see where it goes until our Animal Rescue Officer arrives. This is to make sure that the dog, cat or rabbit has not run off somewhere else and cannot be found. This also applies to animals that are injured or sick but still mobile. Other ways you could help is t...

Little Rose: "I Want To Live"
24th Nov 2011, by Zeus Communications
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to fight for your life, just to live on for the ones you love? This is Little Rose’s story; she loves, she fights – but she needs our help to stay alive. Little Rose was rescued some time ago when she was found with a crushed paw. Imagine the amount of pain she had to endure as a young dog – living on the streets and fighting for food with a hind paw that was crushed beyond repair. To reduce the risks of infections or future complications, veterinari...

A Sunshiny Day For Sunshine Courage!
24th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Updates from my friend who is nursing Sunshine Courage (please note that my friend has requested anonymity, hence, she remains as “my friend”):
Hi Kah Yein,
Today has been an excellent day with Sunshine!
As far as I can tell, as of this morning, all the previously compacted poo has been removed manually. It must be such a relief to the system and I believe this opens the possibility of more healing as the body is not stressed by the accumulation of waste materials.
Previously when...

Saying My Piece, And Moving On…
24th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
I’m not in the habit of dwelling in the negative, but sometimes, in the course of dealing with so many different types of humans, the ugly human annoys you, and you just have to say your piece, if only to preserve your much-needed sanity.
I’ll get straight to the point, say all that I want to say and move on as there’s lots to do.
1. There are those who demand for help. Not ask, but demand. Please don’t do that. Nobody on earth owes anybody anything. Even our parents don&...

More Options For Sunshine Courage
23rd Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Courage is now officially named “Sunshine Courage”, Sunshine is the nickname given by my friend who has agreed to nurse her for a few weeks.
I spoke to another vet today, just to widen my understanding of Courage’s condition and if she has more options.
According to this vet, it is recommended that spinal chord damage undergo reparative surgery within 2-6 hours of the trauma. After that, it might be too late and the damage would be settled.
For Courage’s case, we do not e...
