Haley's trouble

The diseased intestine which was removed.

Hayley is among three pups rescued from the Puchong pound that's being fostered by Reco and Mikha. Apparently Haley had contracted parvo at the pound but the infection did not flare up - this must have been because the pup must have been one mother's milk up to the point she was caught and dumped at the pound. However, the virus had destroyed a part of her intestines which had to be removed. Haley is now recuperating and will be back on her feet soon.

Uncle Ethan is dead

Our Uncle Ethan passed away on Dec 29th.
Uncle Ethan was estimated to be about 15 and had been left tied to a post in Klang in July this year. He was spotted by a young man who handed him over to us. Uncle had various issues such as cataracts, rotting teeth, maggot wounds as well as a big tumour near his underbelly. The vet told us not to operate on him because he may not make it. Uncle went to live with Mikha and Reco and was given a happy life filled with TLC. But the tumour started growing and it came to a stage where Uncle could not move and refused to eat. Caught in a Catch 22 situation, the vet said he would operate as the tumour was growing at a rapid pace. He was operated on yesterday and made it through surgery but died soon after. It is sad but we are happy knowing that Uncle was very much loved in the last few months of his life.

We who choose to surround ourselves

with lives even more temporary than our own

live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.

Unable to accept its awful gaps,

we still would live no other way.

We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,

never fully understanding the necessary plan.

-- Irving Townsend, in The Once Again Prince

Heartbreaking

Someone from a shelter called us the other day saying that she had received a distress call from PJ. Apparently an old dog had been abandoned at a five foot way and she was lying there hapless and not daring to move. People were feeding her everyday and someone had brought a towel to cover her almost hairless body. We were told that the dog would be euthanised if taken to the shelter. Our hearts bled when we saw the picture and so we assumed responsibility and directed the dog to our panel vet. Apparently she is a poodle of sorts and is very very old - deaf in both ears, blind in one eye and has a cataract in the other. She also had some skin infection. Going by her age - we think she won't last beyond a few months and so are planning to give her a few months of comfort and love before she leaves for leaves. We are saddened - where is her human family? Did they ditch her? Did she wander out and got lost? Anyone recognizes old girl? Fostering and sponsorship most welcome. malaysiandogsdeservebetter1@gmail.com

Ditta's Dog

Ditta called and sobbed a heart out about a dog she's been feeding in Serdang. Being a Muslim, she was only able to feed the unfortunate dog. Our rescuers went and got the dog and it is now in one of our panel clinic. According to the vet, the dogs has some issues including skin disease and compromised immunity. "(message from vet) Anaemic. pale gums, chronic severe skin disease, left back leg limping due to 4th toe swollen and nail bed infection." He has also lost some teeth and although he is quite young. We will do the necessary for this dog until he is up and well for adoption. Meanwhile, offers of fostering or sponsorship is most welcome. Please write to malaysiandogsdeservebetter1@gmail.com to help this chap.

Chip ‘N Dale fundraiser

Our fund raising in Chip ‘N Dale pub in Taman Tun on 30th was a blast. Thanks to premise owner Janice Shun for conceptualizing the event to help us out. Chip ‘N Dale is dog friendly and all those who want to spend an evening out with your pets - this is the right place to go. Their food menu is also excellent.

Evil People

Monday, December 5, 2011

This happened at about 10 pm on the date mentioned above. We found a dying dog outside a house in Taman Gembira, Klang. The owners could not wait for the dog to die and they put it in a garbage bag and placed it on the road outside their gate. The dog's cage which was outside the house was also washed clean and both the water and food bowl were turned downwards. It was pitiful to see the dog groan and writhe before it died. We do not know how long it was there. One of our volunteers took photos and gave the dog some water to drink while waiting for the vet to come. We also rushed back to our HWH to grab some towels and bedsheet as well as a carrier to turn it into a sedan of sorts to carry the dog back after the vet had treated it. But the poor dog passed away before we came back with the things or the vet could get there. We feel the dog had chocked on something because there was a hard lump in the throat. The owners had to very expensive cars parked in the porch but yet..................we are so going to the DVS with this.
