The remaining three Selayang pups at the vet
I visited the remaining three Selayang pups at our panel vet. These are the survivors and believe me, they are real tough cookies! Presenting……Forrest! Forrest has grown so much since I last saw him. He has endeared himself to the vets, and one of the vets, Dr Loh, absolutely adores him. She says Forrest would…
Sr Brown passed away last night
Sr Brown was the one who was the perkiest of the Subang-Selayang lot. He was tested distemper positive two weeks ago, but displayed no symptoms except for diarrhoea which was monitored and kept under control through diet. Two days ago, he started having nasal congestion, and yesterday, he became very pale and came down very…
In loving memory of Ebony
As I reflect now on Ebony’s short little life, I can’t help feeling how deeply interconnected we are, and how things happen for a reason, and how we sometimes can intervene, but only to a certain limited extent. Ebony was one of the 23 rescued puppies from the Selayang Pound. She found to be very…
Ebony is in a better place now
I received a call from the vet just minutes ago. It’s bad news. Ebony passed away this morning before the vet got in. It must have happened after I left the clinic. Based on the clinical signs, the vet strongly suspects she died of distemper and tick fever. Her initial anaemia was probably caused by…
Ebony’s updates
I held my breath the whole of last night, expecting a call from the vet regarding Ebony’s condition. I know the vet would call if there was any bad news. I waited, and waited. There was no call up till midnight, and I hoped it meant Ebony was still alright. This morning, I went in…
Ebony is fading
We received sad news from the vet today. Ben brought in Ebony on Friday as she wasn’t doing very well. Yesterday, Ebony appeared to be fine, but as of this morning, the vet said she is fast fading and is in pain. The vet has given her painkillers and she is partially sedated due to the…
Forrest is eating on his own!
Finally, finally, finally….everyone is cheering and the vets are so, so happy. Forrest, the little brown fella, is finally eating on his own. The vets have been patiently force-feeding him a few times a day, waiting for the day he would eat on his own, and the day came this morning. Forrest went to his…
Post-mortem results on Cutie
Cutie was one of the Selayang pups who passed away a few days ago of supposedly “mysterious” causes. There were hardly any symptoms and she just went down within hours. The post-mortem revealed evidence of abnormalities in the heart muscles and this strongly suggests distemper. Distemper is indeed a scary disease. There can be absolutely…
Updates on Subang-Selayang pups
I visited the Selayang pups yesterday evening. Sr White, Sr Brown and Ms Husky are ready to be discharged. They still have a bit of diarrhoea, so their diet has to be kept under control. Sr Brown Sr White (on the left) and Ms Husky. And… Here’s little Forrest. He was moving so much, you…
Sad news on Selayang pups
This morning, I was informed that Juno had passed away. I do not know the cause of death, but he was being treated for hookworm infestation. Capri is still hanging on. Over in Subang Jaya, Cutie Pie suddenly went down today, and it was very quick and sudden. She passed away this evening. I have…

Here’s today’s updates from Ben and Adele. They adopted Ebony and Julea today. We attached some pictures after bringing the 2 puppies home today to let you know that they are doing well. We have decided to keep the names you and Tracy had given them. Therefore one is named Ebony. The other is Julea.Both…
Ebony goes home!
Here’s Ben and Adele, with little Ebony. Both Ben and Adele had not expected Ebony to be so small! But she is, and that makes her even more adorable, of course. Last night, Yi Lin helped me foster Ebony. I was up to my neck with the six kittens, and could barely cope. And according…
Ebony is discharged
I brought Ebony home today after our vet declared her fit to be discharged. Her blood count dropped a little after two days, but shot up again to 25% yesterday. This is great news because it means her body is able to produce blood on its own now. Look at those eyes… Letting Teddybear say…
Puchong-Selayang pups’ updates
This is Ainey’s updates on the two Selayang pups currently boarded in Puchong for hookworm treatment: Juno, who was the weaker one yesterday before I rushed them to the vet, is doing better… He can eat on his own, but the vet still force fed him a little to make sure he gets enough nutrition……
