Indy In Action
15th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
I’ve been waiting to capture Indy in action but always keep missing it.
Here’s a video of the “second half”:
He focuses, then makes a tall leap with a single bound onto the bar of the grille, then he heaves himself up (using mostly upper body strength) and the rest…you can see in the video.

Stretch Therapy
15th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
Allow me to digress a little this morning and share something which I think might be beneficial to some of our readers.
As animal caregivers, we perform so many chores in a day, taking care of our pets, rescues and more so, those who are ill. And often, this requires us contorting our body into various positions, which sometimes, can be detrimental to our wellbeing in the long run.
Since March this year, I suddenly developed very severe lower back pain. On hindsight now, I think that it is a cum...

Three 3 Patients At Dawn
15th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
Last night, after finishing all the claims for the day, I finally managed to sit down and mark all my test papers. That done, I put on a pot of chicken soup with the hope that the aroma might encourage Vincent to eat this morning.
Then I offered Pole some food again.
She ate a little bit.
We also noticed that the right side of her cheek seemed a bit bigger than the left. Maybe something is swollen inside her mouth.
I couldn’t sleep much last night so I got up at 5am just now. It’s b...

Farewell, Rex (one Of The Sunny Kittens)
14th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
If you were following our stories since 2011, you might remember the Sunny Kittens?
They were these 3 absolutely adorable kittens rescued by someone in KL (found abandoned in a box) and brought to me.
We had SO many memorable and very, very joyful time with the Sunny Kittens, but we just could not adopt anymore cats, so they were open for adoption.
Rozita Halim and her family adopted them. By far and undoubtedly, Rozita’s family remain one of the best adopters I’ve ever, ever found. ...

The Three Patients (Vincent, Pole And Ginger)
14th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
Today has been an exceptionally difficult day. Not because I have to look after three “sick” cats and not because I had many chores to do. It’s because of difficult applicants. Sigh…the story never ends. So, let’s talk about them.
How are our three patients so far…
Vincent:
He came down for dinner, but only wanted to drink water.
I offered raw meat and chicken essence. He didn’t want any.
Vincent only had one good meal today.
So, we thought maybe we...

Neutering Aid For 3 Dogs In Kepong (Gaorri Yoong Yen Cher’s)
14th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
We have sponsored RM300 for the neutering of these 3 dogs.
The first batch of 3 dogs were done last week.
Hello Dr Chan,
I would like to submit my application for neutering of 3 puppies: 2 Female and 1 Male.
They are from the same litter of puppies I submitted for subsidy last week. My neighbor Auntie Janet and I found this litter of puppies in our area, in a lorry workshop near a construction site.
All of the puppies have been successfully adopted after they’re neutered and vaccinated...

Neutering Aid For 3 Dogs In Balakong (Chong Ming Li’s)
14th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
We have sponsored RM300 for the neutering of these 3 dogs.
Dear Dr Chan,
Hope this email finds you well. I’d like to apply for neutering aid for spaying 3 female puppies. A mother dog came over and gave birth to 9 female puppies 5 months ago. Out of these 9 puppies 4 died and we’ve managed to rehome 2 of the puppies. We sent the puppies to the clinic for the spaying procedure last Saturday. The puppies have been dewormed and vaccinated as well. Please find attached t...

Ginger’s Zurik-Inflicted Wound
14th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
It was on 6th Sept 2018 (last Thursday) that Zurik beat up Ginger which resulted in a paw wound on poor Ginger.
We brought Ginger to the vet’s that day along with Vincent and at that time, the wound looked quite minor. The vet told me to clean it and apply iodine, which I did, but only on that day.
On subsequent days, I did check on the wound, but it looked like it was healing – just a line.
We should have suspected something wasn’t right, because during the past few days, Ging...

Earth To Houston (Mr Zurik’s Reentry)
14th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
So the story continues with husband coming back and Zurik still being on the roof.
Looks like it’s a game of seeing who can outlast the other.
If our guess is right, and if indeed Zurik has been on the roof all this while, then it’s already been more than a day of him going without food and water.
The crazy cat…how much longer is he going to do this?
Okay, okay, you win, Zurik.
He was on the roof.
So, husband opened the windows and netting, and invited our friend to come in.

Pole Eats, But…
14th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
Pole ate some Monge for lunch, but it was a rather small amount.
She did not want any Cubgrub.
I pray that with sufficient rest, she will recover from whatever she has.
Get well soon, Pole.

Vincent Eats On His Own!
14th Sep 2018, by AnimalCare
I thought I should go out and buy some chicken to make chicken soup again, if only to have its aroma entice Vincent to eat (and IF it still works).
So, I went out and Ming-Yi happened to visit and texted to say that Vincent had gone into the kitchen and seems to want food.
By the time I came back with all the groceries and chicken, the motley crew was in the kitchen, waiting.
It was already 2.20pm, past their lunch time.
And without even having to boil the chicken soup, Vincent was willing to e...
