7th Apr 2012, by Second Chance
It was 1st April 2012 and while everyone in the rest of the world was having fun playing pranks on each other, a guardian angel smiled upon Mary and decided that Mary should be having a different kind of fun-that is to be adopted into a loving family, with 2 young boys to play with and be showered with lots of TLC!Thanks to Michael Theng and family for making the right choice -- to adopt. Since it was on April Fool's day that the family made a connection with Mary and vice versa, a name change w...

Please Read The Labels, Part 2
7th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/04/06/always-re ad-the-labels/
Maneki left this comment on my earlier post and in case some of you do not read the comments section, I feel a great urgency to share this:
I remember the time one of my friends liberally sprayed her cat with her dog’s flea spray, which contained permethrin — exceedingly toxic to cats. She found the cat frothing at the mouth and in a seizure. She raced him to the vet who immediately asked if she’d treated him for fleas latel...

Always Read The Labels And Always Use With Caution
6th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
My friend related a really sad story, and the moral of the story is to remember how important it is to always read the label on any medication that we use, whether on ourselves or our animals.
I was at the vet’s today and saw a very miserable-looking purebred dog. I asked the owner what was wrong and she said she had just given her dog a tick bath and the next day, the dog could not walk, pee or poo. It had lost the mobility of its legs. After the owner came out from the examination room w...

Take A New One And Discard The Old?
6th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
This was related to me a few days ago by an officer from a shelter. This lady had brought in a 7-year old pregnant dog to be surrendered at the shelter.
As per shelter policy, the officer explained that they could not take in pregnant dogs because the infants, if born in a shelter, would have a very high mortality rate as shelter conditions may not be very hygienic and sometimes there is outbreak of disease. Most of the time, infant animals die at the shelter.
Moreover, this dog was already 7 ye...

Some Tips On Home-Cooked Food (for Pets)
6th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Dr Susanna gave me some really useful tips on the preparation of home-cooked food for pets. I’ve tested it out and it is spot-on!
This is especially for those who cannot cook every day and need to freeze some of the portions for the next few days.
1. Portions can be kept in the fridge, but no longer than three days. For my case, my brood absolutely will not eat even if it is stored in the fridge for one day!
So, I have to freeze.
2. Here’s the most valuable tip of all – when de...

Who’s There??
5th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
As I was busy doing my work in the room this evening, suddenly, I saw a cat outside the room grille. Now, how on earth did one of our cats get out?
Hello…
Why, it’s Mr G!
He had obviously plucked up courage and come in through the living room window and straight to our room grille.
He was asking to come in.
Well, much as I wish I could, but I can’t. Can you imagine the havoc it would create in the room if Mr G came in? Cow and the rest of the males would start spraying ev...

Bobby’s Acupuncture With Dr Susanna Brida
5th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
As you know, Bobby has been undergoing acupuncture sessions every two weeks under Dr Susanna Brida. His progress has been remarkable, to say the least.
From the scrawny elderly dog that he was, with barely any appetite and with no more interest in anything much except when he needed to break up cat-fights (!), look at him now…
And doctor, what are you writing about me today?
Bobby has gained weight and he is no longer boney. He is also interested in his surroundings now, and in fact, ...

Dogfood Fundraising For Meiji’s 134 Dogs
5th Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
I spoke with Meiji today, and asked how much dogfood she has left. She says she only has enough for another 3 more weeks.
It is the rainy season and the income from rubber-tapping is not enough to supplement the expenses for the sanctuary.
Our call to Sponsor-a-Dog for RM50 at her sanctuary has not been successful: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/02/18/sp onsor-a-dog-at-meijis-sanctuary/
For 134 dogs, Meiji needs 40kg of dogfood per day, that would be about 2 packs (of 20kg) per day, supplemented ...
