CRUELTY IN PET SHOPS
25th Jan 2012, by Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better
Passed-by a premier pet shop recently and saw four dogs that were lethargically lying in their glass enclosures . Went in to see what was wrong and was told by a shop assistant that the air conditioning into these 'glass cages' was not working. A small crack was kept open but this was insufficient for ventilation. The dogs were literally suffocating. When I asked the assistant to remove the dogs and place them in cages inside the shop - she said no one would be able to see them from the o...

Abandoned By Backyard Breeders
25th Jan 2012, by Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better
For the second time in recent months, breders have dumped their dogs outside of PAWS. This time around. there were nine females and a male and we can safely assume that the sole male was used to service all nine females. Two of the females had a kind of hernia - which we believe could be due to multiple births. Anyway, PAWS which is working very hard towards becoming a no kill shelter agreed to release the dogs to KL Pooch Rescue. MDDB has undertaken the responsibility of paying for the ...

The Pole Show, Prickly Cat-Mats And The Shadow Of Shadow
25th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
This morning, Pole’s in-built mechanism was at work, so she tries again…
She walks the entire length, looking for possible loopholes.
While our Houdini-Girl was doing her job, I had to do mine – yes, my janitor’s job of cleaning cat toilets.
Husband had put some prickly wires here yesterday. It seemed to work as a deterrent of sorts.
Would you believe she was up there for TWO hours, never giving up.
She even had a stand-off with Shadow, the ...

Come Play With Tabs!
25th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
Tabs wasn’t feeling too well for the past 2 days. She looked a little tired. I think it could also be because some children came to visit and they played with her…a bit too much.
I gave her Vetri DMG and she is back to normal now.
These are the games Tabs plays with her elders.
A new paper bag, from a recent shopping trip.
A paper bag can be turned into a new game.
Take turns to enter the paper bag. First come, first served.
Tabs will find her way.
Ever since getting w...

Physiotherapy For Animals
25th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
We’ve had requests to learn physiotherapy for animals as we can see for ourselves how much good it has done for Sunshine.
Lydia has shared the below and wishes to emphasize that she does not hold any qualifications on physiotherapy for animals. What she knows is based on whatever skills she has picked up while in Bali (vets do not euthanise over there, they teach you how to nurse and take care of paralysed animals).
However, Lydia walks the extra mile by working with and consulting vets on...

An Angpow For Sunshine!
24th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
We’ve given an angpow from our Food Fund for Sunshine. Lydia did not want any “repayment” for all she has done for Sunshine, and we certainly cannot repay her with all the money in the world (!). This is just a small token to cover a bit of Sunshine’s food for a few weeks.
It’s from Sumitra, Sau Yee and the donors of AnimalCare.
Happy New Year, Sunshine!
Our wish for you is to continue improving day by day and we’ll work hard at looking for a good home for yo...

Sunshine Works Out On The Treadmill!
24th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
Here are some sunshiny updates of our dear girl, Sunshine, from Lydia:
Sunshine has fully regained her bowel and bladder function and moves about independently. She walks, runs and plays with all my dogs. She even tries to jump up on me when she gets all excited when we’re playing. We are still working on some minor residual neurological deficits and I have hopes that this will still continue to improve.
Today I modified her indoor “bedroom/cage” again as she goes through ...

“Don’t Cat”? What Is That?
24th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
Cathy told me all about “Don’t Cat”, available at Daiso at Sunway Pyramid (same floor as Harvey Norman’s).
She uses it to prevent her own cats from stepping into her cables and biting them.
So, what is “Don’t Cat”?
It’s quite an ingenious invention, really. It’s plastic studs that are sharp enough to discourage a cat from stepping into an area, but not sharp enough to hurt it.
Today, after Pole’s latest escape, I figured I’d have ...

Have You Heard Of Kopi Luwak?
24th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
My son, Jia-Wen, went for a holiday to Bali recently and came back with a most interesting story about Kopi Luwak.
He visited the factory and this is what he learnt:
There is this Asian Palm Civet called Luwak (local name) and its expertise is in detecting (and ingesting) the BEST coffee beans. These coffee beans are not digested but will pass through its intestines only to be excreted (defecated) as faeces-covered coffee beans.
The locals collect these faeces (I mean, the beans) and remove the ...

Updates On Flower And Coco (Anita Chen’s)
24th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
Here’s updates on the two girls:
So far Flower has not vomited, only poo poo blood clot once in 24 hours and protested like crazy when her lining paper was wet. But she pulled out the drip so it had to be removed. We can’t put into other legs because the vein burt. So, no drip today. Will let her rest, force feed her water and chicken essence to get her strength up. Vet says if she can survive 5 days, she will probably make it. Today is the 5th day.
Coco is much better now, wound has...

Medical Subsidy For A Cat With Mange (Shaila Raj’s)
24th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
Shaila Raj wrote to me a few days regarding a stray cat with mange. Since this was Shaila’s first case of dealing with a mangy cat, she was quite disturbed by all the scratching and bleeding and wanted to board the cat at the vet’s. I explained that our policies will not cover any subsidy for boarding for such a case unless the boarding is justified necessary by the vet.
I also shared with Shaila a few of our mange cases, the worst being that of Zhou2, who recovered beautifully in ju...

Husband found two holes up on the gutter ledge. He is amazed how Pole discovered it, too.
Let’s call them the “Pole Holes”.
Yups, there are actually TWO holes which even Cow could get out from!
Gee… can you fix them?
You’re wasting you time, you know. I’ll just find another way, somehow.
Meanwhile, who is outside on our front lawn?
Mr Gorilla still thinks our lawn is his territory.
For the past few days, he’s been (no eye witness accoun...

24th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
Yesterday, I chanced upon a few minutes of a TV programme about the myths and legends surrounding the first 15 days of Chinese Year Year and why the 7th day is known as “everybody’s birthday.
