Hasn't been blogging for couples of weeks and yet it's nearly end of May. There is no entry for May it seems. hehehe...

I just came back from the clinic attended 2 emergency cases. A 3 months old puppy came in with the complaint of vomiting. Owner has been feeding many types of food eg fruits, rice and soup, you name it man! The puppy is hospitalised and put under observation.

Guess what, I have never seen a real wild cat before and yet it was right in front of me just now on the examination table. Two good samaritans brought in a wild cat that knocked down by a vehicle. It's wild and ferocious creature. I supposed that wild cat is a fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus). It looks exactly like that after browsing throught the internet looking for the exotic cat that I've seen just now.When I saw the cat the first thing that came into my mind was " hah??!! what should I do to the cat?" I was nervous and scared actually as I really do not have any experience on wild animals especially the skill of handling and precautions to prevent being bitten by the animal. After consulting the two men about the cost and condition, they decided to send the cat to the Wild Life Center nearby. Pray that the cat still alive.

Cats,cats,cats in Ayuttaya, Thailand

I just got back from Thailand 2 days ago.This was my second trip to Thailand. I attended an awesome continuing education(CE) given by a professor from Australia. The CE was all about cats.The topics were about optimal preventative health in cats, diseases of respiratory tract, skin, renal and diseases associated with cat fights as well as interesting topics about feline infectious peritonitis(FIP) and lymphoma mostly associated to feline immunodeficiency virus(FIV) and feline leukemia virus(FeLV). There are quite a few updates on feline medicine. Something really amazed and new to me is that we can actually introduce "natural food" to cat for example raw chicken wing or neck. To all the honourable vets out there, you can actually try out with this to your cats. It actually helps to prevent periodontal disease in cats.

We spend 2 nights in Ayuttaya then headed to Bangkok right after the CE. Oh yeah,just for your information that I didn't miss out the Thai massage as well as the Thai food(eg tom yum kung, green curry and som tam).The food was terrific. Bangkok is definitely a shopping paradise. This time I didn't go for sight seeing instead spending one day in Bangkok just to shop in a shopping mall called NBK then flew back to KL on that night itself(Monday night). Completely fun but tiring trip.

Shopping and shopping again!!


My Thai and Malaysian friends.

This post is dedicated to Brenda on her 26th birthday which was on 14th April(Good Friday).No doubt that she's the most caring and understanding housemate that I ever had. Words really can't describe her if you know what I meant. She's an awesome and mighty gal.She will be leaving us next month for her 3 months practical training. We are going to miss you.I think I will miss your cooking gal!Thank you for everything.
Anyway,we threw a birthday party for her on 15th April (Easter's eve night).It was a fun night.

Heavy down pour

Weather was not so good in KL recently.It rains almost everyday especially in the evening. There was one heavy down pour at my working place 3 weeks ago. I managed to take a few shots outside the clinic during the heavy rain.



Note the water flow vigorously from the hills.


That's my car. Worried that it might wash away by the water.

I went out with a bunch of gals friends to Chilis in Bangsar about 2 weeks ago. It was for Jean's(my collegue, oh no my ex-collegue)farewell dinner.The food was awesome. We had some gal's talk as well. Anyway to Jean, all the best in your future undertaking, will definitely miss ya. Thanks for guiding me for all these while.

Sorry for the long hiatus. Last week was my turn to take over the night duty or emergency after hour.It was a long and tiring week.I had 7 emergency cases over the week on different night.

On the first night that was last Tuesday, a mixed pomeranian fall down from 2nd floor and has got a complete facture at the physeal of radius and ulna.Modified Robert Jones bandage was done on the affected limb. Then,the next day a Basset Hound was presented with the complaint of prolapse 3rd eyelid on the right eye.I supposed it was induced by trauma.Managed to reduce the prolapse by giving some oral steroids. On Friday, I had a case of 1 year old spitz suffered from hypocalcaemia(lack of calcium in the blood).She was hyperthermic(high fever)and in semiconscious condition. Cold bath and fast intravenous fluid were given to subside the high fever. This dog is on calcium tablets now.

There were 3 cases on Sunday. Open pyometra(uterus infection) in a rottwailer, evisceration in a cat and a puppy that accidentally ingested detergent.Surgery was done immediately on the cat to put back the eviscerated part into the abdomen. Guess what, part of the spleen, liver and mesentery were eviscerated out. The rottwailer was spayed to remove the infected uterus. The puppy was treated with charcoal. It was really hectic on Sunday. I started work at 9am and finished all the cases at about 11pm.

No doubt I've learnt a lot from the cases. It's all about thinking hard and making the right move for every decision that I've made.
