Updates On 22nd Jul 2011
22nd Jul 2011, by SPCA Selangor
More and more cats and kittens are being dumped at SPCA, as the festive Raya season is just around the corner. If you know anyone who is planning to generously give their cats to us, please convince them not to as we struggle to rehome even 25% every month. Please get them neutered to prevent unwanted kittens, and try to rehome them yourself if you can't cope. SPCA should be the last resort, not first choice!

Pet Care Tip:
True or False - Carrots should be fed to rabbits everyday. The answer is FALSE! They really should only be fed carrots once or twice a week because of its high sugar content. For more information on what to feed rabbits, please visit http://www.hrss.net/aar/care/care_diet_faq.html

Foods Your Dog Should Never Eat
22nd Jul 2011, by Second Chance
Alcohol – Alcohol has the same effect on dogs’ liver and brain that it has on humans. But it takes far less to do its damage. Just a little can cause vomiting, diarrhea, central nervous system depression, problems with coordination, difficulty breathing, coma, even death. And the smaller the dog, the greater the effect.Onions and garlic – onions and garlic can destroy a dog's red blood cells, leading to anemia.Coffee, tea and other caffeinated substances - Caffeine in large enough quantiti...

Musk Lorikeet – Australian Parrot
22nd Jul 2011, by Dr Rayya's Online Veterinary Journal
The hardest part of my job as a vet is accepting euthanasia as a viable option for a healthy animal that an owner no longer wants. It does not get easier when it is a geriatric pet in excellent shape that has a manageable condition like arthritis. I unfortunately have not been able to save everything because physically I could simply not. But all those times i had to be passive when multiple kittens were being put down, I lost a little piece of my heart. I felt like an accomplice in a crime I de...

Taiwan Does A First...for The Sharks
22nd Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
If there is one personal request I would make to people who want to hold Chinese dinners, it has always been this - Please, please, please do not order sharks' fins soup. I think most people have seen the horrendous ways sharks are "finned", ie. have their fins lopped off and thrown back into the sea to die a torturous death by drowning. Granted, cruelty exists in all slaughterhouses, and this is just one more way of how humans torture animals for the sake of satisfying the pleasures of the...

Please Pray For Stuart
22nd Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
There was another frantic search for fosterers for Stuart today as Devi relented this morning when she saw that Stuart was really going down. To cut a long story short, Stuart is now with Kak Azah, a cat rescuer and fosterer who has had a lot of experience in nursing kittens. Kak Azah says Stuart is alert and active and we now pray that the little fellow will pull through. Apparently, the milk powder used by Devi was baby formula. It is normally recommended that kittens be given kitt...

She Will Survive Without A Nose
21st Jul 2011, by Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better
We are happy to say that the dog whose nose had been looped off is doing well. Thanks to our excellent vets. Since we we off to Semenyih today to hunt for the prime suspect, we asked Animalcare's Dr Chan to do us a favour by visiting the doggie and taking some pics. We are happy with what we heard from Dr Chan as well as what we saw in the pictures. SHE WILL SURVIVE BECAUSE SHE IS A SURVIVOR! And we name her Citta which means "heart and soul" as suggested by Dr Chan because she has touched...

Injured Dog Needs Fosterer As Soon As Possible
21st Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Myza has just rescued an injured 2-week old puppy. The puppy has a back injury and the vet has stitched her up. How the puppy came to be so is a sad case of tug-of-war between the mother of this puppy and another mother-dog who had just lost her newborn litter. This second mother-dog came to snatch the puppy away from her mother (probably thinking the puppy is hers) and the mother grabbed her puppy back resulting in a tug-of-war which almost ripped the puppy into two.The puppy's back is tor...

Super Bruno
21st Jul 2011, by Dr Rayya's Online Veterinary Journal
Meet Bruno, the friendliest Maremma I have ever met. He is living proof that any breed of dog is capable of being well socialised! This champ is one of my fave patients.
He loves coming into the vet clinic and is usually busting with excitement to see everyone especially me because I have brain washed him with heaps of liver treats.
About a month and a half ago, I was called out afterhours to examine him as he was just hit by a car. His poor dad witnessed the whole thing. They brought him stra...

If You Need Our Spay-Neuter Help, Please Send A Photograph Of The Animal
21st Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Spay-neuter is normally not an emergency case. My request to rescuers who ask for our spay-neuter help is to please send me a photograph of the animal, either by email or mms. This is because our accounts are audited and I need the photographs to account for each case done. Sometimes, by the time I finish work and reach the clinic, the animal has already been discharged. We have two clinics in Subang Jaya and I have to attend to both.So, here's how we work:1. Rescuer writes/calls...

The vet suggested that Tommy be put down but Norsidah refused, so Tommy was put on drips....

Karuna Has Been Previously Spayed
21st Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Today was Karuna's scheduled spaying. Would you believe it? The vets opened her up and found that she had already been previously spayed. That could only mean two things - either a rescue group had got her spayed and released her OR she is an abandoned pet. But, Karuna, being old, did not take the anaesthesia well at all, so the vets quickly removed the gas and brought her out of the sedation. But while they had opened her up, they saw that one kidney does not look very healthy. This...

The Dog Without Her Nose (MDDB's Case)
21st Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
I braved myself this afternoon and went to visit the dog whose nose had been lopped off by some evil human in Semenyih. Wani (of MDDB) had called me about the dog yesterday when the vet suggested that the dog be put down. I said she could always request that the vet treat the dog instead. Vets have their oath to uphold and one of them is that animals do not suffer, so vets have their own idea about how animals should be treated. We just have to respect that but we can agree to disagree, an...
