One Female Cat Spayed (Kaegen Loh’s)
16th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
I received this a few days ago:
Dear Dr.Chan,
This is Kaegen Loh. I am in Form 5 from SS17 SJK and I rescued a cat which was found in a class room drawer in my school. I guess someone must have left the cat there. Since it was only about 2weeks old, I decided to take the cat home instead of leaving her there. That was how I adopted the cat. I named her “Maia”.
I heard from my mum, Anne Loh about you and would like to spay my cat. Enclosed is a photo of “Maia” for y...

16th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
Lockey and Manja are two male cats previously rescued and fostered by Sumitra, and many months ago, adopted by Puteri Nazalyia Zarique (also known as Ababyl).
Sumitra has requested our financial assistance in helping to neuter Lockey and Manja as they are of age now. It is Sumitra’s practice to follow-up until the spaying-neutering of cats adopted under her.

Our Pick Of The Week - "Terry"
16th Nov 2011, by SPCA Penang
Terry - a gentleman and a dog! He is big and gentle... growls on a need to basis. He only barks when there is something to bark about after it or the situation has been checked out by him first. He has been nicknamed "the silent observer". That's because most of the time he is standing on his two hind legs and peeping over the wall or window ledge looking intently, observing and making plans. Terry gets along with dogs his size and is gentle with puppies. He quickly asserts hims...

How One Person Helps The Street Animals In Her Neighbourhood
16th Nov 2011, by AnimalCare
A reader who has requested anonymity, has been sharing her thoughts with me on the subject of caring for street animals. The topic of returning neutered animals as “community animals” came up, which we say is our “next best option” should we be unable to find homes for our rescues, ie. we return them to the colony because we have no other way to help them when most of the no-kill sanctuaries are already full. From an ecological point of view, this measure is also supposed...

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...
