Oh No, Not The Emus Too, Please!
14th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
I read this two days ago: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2 011/12/12/focus/10079396&sec=focus
Apparently, the writer suggests that emus be farmed for commercial purpose since its meat can be eaten and its other byproducts such as oil, skin, feathers, eggs, blown out egg shells, nails, claws, bones etc. sold and marketed as handicraft, etc.
I wonder if the writer would even take a moment to consider the possibility of a stronger species governing our planet and farming humans for...

Indy Is Much Better Today, But…
14th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
It was almost opening time, so I went to get Indy to take him to the vet’s.
Good old Bunny! He’s still staying with Indy.
There’s Indy. Come out, please.
Nope.
So I had to pull him out and he wasn’t too happy about that.
True, which cat in its right frame of mind would want to go to an unfamiliar place, right?
Indy was distressed all the way in the car, in that 5-min ride.
Unlike Bunny who would go exploring the clinic, Indy went to hide.
The vet said Indy’s gai...

Indy And His Bodyguard
14th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Thank you, everyone, for your prayers for Indy and for sending him good vibes.
Indy spend the night in his blue basket in the shrine room. This morning, I brought his food up for him and later, fed him his medicines. He ate up all his food. Medicines – a minor struggle, but he ate that, too.
We had to go water the lawn in the new house, so I left him for awhile with the windows all closed (but not latched). When we got back, Indy was gone! But Bunny was sleeping on the towel next to the bl...

13th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Happy news from Aniza:
Sorry for not updating all of you regarding Ginger. I just came back from sending her to adopter’s house in section 27 shah alam.

After contacting with adopter through emails, finally we met this morning. Ginger and I were welcomed by the adopter,Zulianas and her parents an...

Indy Has An Infection
13th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
The urine tests results are out. There is the presence of protein and a large number of leucocytes in Indy’s urine. These two results indicate that Indy has an infection.
The specific gravity (S.G.) of Indy’s urine is only 1.02 (the normal reading should be 1.036). That has always been Indy’s problem all this while – and this is why we suspect there is something not quite right with his kidneys.
The urine was really concentrated and dark-coloured, yet the S.G. is lower th...

2 Male Cats Trapped, Only 1 Neutered (Cathy Thong’s)
13th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
Cathy Thong texted me yesterday, asking if we could sponsor the neutering of a few new cats on our block (we stay on the same street).
Of course we can sponsor, so Cathy set out her trap (she has purchased one of her own) and waited patiently.
Two cats were trapped!
They were brought to our vet this morning (after Indy’s appointment).
Cathy writes:
One turned out to be a castrated male so we’ve released him after lots of apologies (the one sitting on the shredded newspapers). The o...

Indy Has High Fever
13th Dec 2011, by AnimalCare
It’s been a crazy day for me. A classic case of “it doesn’t rain, it pours”. I had to go to work today as there was a deadine to meet and an important meeting.
Before that, I managed to get an appointment for Indy at our vet’s.
Indy in the car. I dread taking Indy anywhere as car rides stress him tremendously.
But this trip is a necessity, Indy. Please bear with it.
Indy is a scaredy cat. That’s him at the vet’s now.
He didn’t want to get out of...

13th Dec 2011, by SPCA Singapore
Timothy, an 11 year old student from ACS ( International) was the star at our rabbit care workshop that we held today for our youth supporters. He shared his wonderful experience of taking care of Baxter, a local rabbit that he and his family adopted from the SPCA. One week after adopting Baxter, Timothy found that there was something not quite right about Baxter’s eye-sight. So we told him to bring Baxter back for the vet to have a look. It was then confirmed that Baxter was partially ...

How SAD! (Mickey & Minnie)
13th Dec 2011, by SPCA Sarawak
Jerolyn Yeo, you forgot what you mentioned? "You told us you love them as your own, you don't abuse them?" Just in a week, you gave away the puppy to your cousin with the reason you can't afford to keep him/her
(I gave it to my cousin cuz she's also a dog lover. I can't afford to keep to many >.<) Another DOG LOVER after this abuser, your friend. You can't afford to keep the puppy but you buy puppy from Kenyalang.
(Jerolyn Yeo: Don't buy puppies from Kenyalang...the puppy I bought from th...
