Windy Wednesday

The boys resting near the window or the breese. Bujang sleeps on that seat at night and sometimes Toro decides to sleep where he is too, especially when I do not have the a/c on at nights.

But today, there was a short burst of rain so its quite cool in the room for them both. :)

Talk to the tail Tuesday

yayaya...no..I still do not want to face the flash box..no...

Eversince I have given Toro the sang hwang (that Megat has rejected), his ears have very little wax and he has very little eczema on his forehead, near his ears. If not, I would have to clean his ears thoroughly every 2 weeks. If I am a little late, he would get hard skin build-up which would be very itchy. His coat is also mush softer and grows faster too. Toro eats the sang hwang lingzhi like a trooper. I do not think the sang hwang will do his system any harm as it is also for immunity.

I do not plan to give him anymore of the sang hwang after he finishes this bottle unless somehting good happens to his kidneys from it. His kidney regimen has not changed at all from before apart from the sang hwang liquid extract.

PS: I went to see Minah at hospital just now and saw Dr Ly. He said the sang hwang would only benefit him and tests have shown that with sang hwang, it be 10x faster. *cross fingers*

Just Because

I am King of all I survey...

ok...this chair actually belongs to Ms Akira but I take over at night:)

Minah on Sunday

An old picture of Minah under the morning sun :)

I brought Minah to the hospital today so she can get round the clock care and with 24-hr IV and meds. She was quiet the whole morning at home and ate some food, just a teaspoonful of Whiskas as she doesn't want to have anything else, especially not renal wetfood! She drank her water and went back for a nap. I thought if we could get her crea numbers to fall a little, we would have a chance.

She allowed me to clean her up with little fuss, only wanting to sit close. The cat ward was quiet. They put her on the drip and she went back to sleep.Of course when she was at the clinic, she had peed on the vet for daring to fix s catheter on her and giving her laudrabolin. I was very proud of her for fighting back  :)

She has one week at the hospital and I we are taking it slowly. The amigos seemed to know that she was not in the kitchen and came out as usual. They were a lot more relaxed, even Tanaka who had refused to come out all of yesterday. They are now all asleep and I am grateful for each one who is safe tonight.

Easy Peasy Sunday

We expect more quiet here. The morning is breezy and I got prime seating...

Just Because

I think its time you stop with the puter thing and feed us san...like NOW...

Bad News Friday

 This is practically one of the last pictures I took of Minah when she was well and fat...

3 weeks ago, she seemed thinner and wanted to eat at strange places. Then last week, we had to look for her to give her dinner quite late at night and she would eat only a few mouthfuls. I was very worried when we saw this week that she would drink a little water and merely lick at her food. She had lost a lot fo weight in a space of one month and so we brought her to the vet. Indeed Minah has acute renal failure and Dr T said her indicators were extremely bad. Although her prognosis was very poor I decided that I should try to save this used to be very feisty kitty. She is as old as Bujang- 8 years old this year. Community cats do not have an easy life and she is well-beloved by everyone. The residents in this block knows her by name. So I am trying sub q fluids which would be the most likely factor that would help her, the azodyl, the alutab and the apo-k. I have to bring her to the vet every day so that they can administer the tablets and the sub q as I am not at all confident that I can do this for Minah as yet.

She is staying with us for 2 weeks (with grandma's blessing). She has been very quiet after the tablets and the sub q. I had given her some water but she didn't drink any. I hope its because of the sub q. She didn't want to eat any kibble either. The vet said her teeth are not in good condition but her gums are ok. Now of course with the renal issues she would not be able to get any work on her teeth at all.

I called M&M to see if they would board her but she needs a vaccination. That would take me all of 6 weeks and I do not know if Minah would survive so long but I would get the vet to vaccinate her anyway as I may not be able to keep her here very long. 

The amigos are very curious but not unduly stressed out so that is good. I do not know what I would do this time round. I think I tried too hard with FatBoy, willing him to live when his system could not take it any longer. But the  of course I do not know if I can do any better with Minah. 

She is asleep and although I allowed her out to walk about in the kitchen, she made a choice of going back into the cage after a few minutes to rest. I had cleaned her up a bit with warm water and salt and so she is comfortable and quite clean.

Her indicators are horrendous and I can feel her spine quite clearly through her skin. But she has a little of her muscle mass. I think I have to do enough to help her. We will be doing a comprehensive blood test after 2 weeks of the regime and then I would have to make some decisions- and I really do not want to make any of it!

 She is severely dehydrated. the vet said her high numbers could be because of her dehydration so her sodium chloride would do her some good, if so.

The BUN and creatinine are off the charts!

Is that YOU Spencer? You're well prepared for Halloween!

Thursday Lazeabout

I brought Bujang downstairs this morning as I was feeling much better. He has not been downstairs for 2 weeks as I was not feeling so well. He walked for a bit but then was quite uneasy because of the unfamiliar morning noises and construction work. So I brought him to his favourite ixora park but he didn't want to walk there. Instead he spent the time just relaxing in his carrier and so we went to the very quite playground which was cooler for me and we both sat quietly, me reading a book and Bujang, looking at the outside from inside his carrier :) After a bit I told him that if he was not out in one minute we would go home. He didn't get out and so we made our way home after 35 minutes of being downstairs. Mybe he was not familiar with morning walks as I always bring him downstairs in the evening.  I thought the morning would be better for me as the haze was not so bad and the weather cooler. But maybe not for my cat Bujang :) But at least we both got out and got to spend some private time together :)

 In the meantime, Totoro was sleeping pretty with the breeze blowing through the open window :)

I am giving him sang hwang which was actually for Megat. Since Megat did not like the taste of the gold sang hwang (which is much stronger) I thought Toro might benefit from it. He has eaten the sang hwang for about a month and his coat has much improved and his fur is softer to touch. His ears are also cleaner. If not I would have to clean his ears thorougly every 2 weeks. If not he would get eczema. Now with his cleaner ears, I would just do some daily cleaning. I do not know yet how the sand hwang will affect his kidney stones but it does contribute to overall immunity health. I would know in November if the sang hwang impacts his kidney stones.

and Tanaka was just hanging out with his buddy...

It was a quite Thursday morning in our small corner of Singapore. I am much better and tomorrow would be able to go to work. Thanks to everyone who had visited us during our short 'time-out' :) We luv ya all...

PS: We are trying to use the new blogger template and it is slow going :) I just discovered that I can actually have a different coloured background for text :) It would certainly make the entries much more colourful for sure :)

Wednesday Wonder

The confrontation
The beginning...

Are we in line san? Should we move a bit?

Megat: I think we are okay for the BIG picture don't you think?

PURRFECT!

Bujang: Today san was sick and she didn't go to work. So she decided to put fresh linen on the bed as silly Megat threw up on the linen. Usually san changes linen on Saturday but today she put on new linen that she just bought. It smelled new so I thought I should investigate and lo and behold! That crazy Megat decided to play games with me!

Megat: I thought it would entertain san.

Bujang: NO! You were just trying to be bad!

Megat: OK. I was trying to get the bed to myself but you must admit we make a good pair!

Bujang: Ok. I think so too. BUT no more, you crazy cat or I will beat you up !

Megat: ....

san: it was funny to catch them at it though :)

Thankful Tuesday

san says we have much to be thankful for. We are thankful that it rained this morning and it is still raining. This means we will not be hot and the haze would be lessened, at least for today. We are also thankful that we all have good health. I Tanaka am thankful that I live here wif san and grandma and my bruffers and do not have to go to work to buy food...hehehe. I am thankful that I can rest and look at the world from here, waaaay above effuryone.
