an easy lending hand - great relief

there is this female cat, which i called miaw-miaw (i know this is a lousy name, but hey, it's passionate! :p) in my college which has just given birth to 4 super cute litte kitties 2 months ago. plus the fact that miaw-miaw is very manja and playful with me, i often visit her little family (mom n kitties, no dads of course) a few doors next to mine, in my hostel.

This morning miaw-miaw looked weird, she looked at me, ran towards me as if she wanted something to me. i felt weird. When i looked at her closely, wow, she's drooling badly, her chin seemed ulcerated. expectedly i tried to touch her mouth, which she resisted (usually she would just swoon at a touch of mine). And she did not allow her kitties to suckle. hmm.. weird... Then my junior who has been taking care of her came out and told me tat she had not been drinking for 2 days. She wanted to drink, but everytime she touches water she'll just walk away. Oh wow, water phobia, i was thinking, "Rabies." My junior was shocked at my quick diagnosis. For your information, I WAS JUST JOKING. "She's eating ok," my junior added.

Then i told my cute junior to hold her firmly, while i open up her mouth. Miaw-miaw struggled a great deal, i thought the entire block heard her well. Anyway, I found this in her mouth - floating, stuck on to her mouth's roof horizontally, was a little bone fragment, abt 2cm long, long enough to get stuck between both her canine teeth. Her gums were abit hyperaemic, slightly bleeding. And her breath was ewww! I suppose she was so dehydrated her kidney function was temporarily compromised causing the blood urea level to build up which resulted in that ugly smell. i took a forcep, and pulled the bone out.

The next thing was she started drinking non-stop. guess she was terribly dehydrated.. and then she allowed the kitties to suckle.. =)

yep! case #1 diagnosed and resolved. =)

Moral of the story? don't feed bones to your animals - be it dog or cat. you won't know they're in trouble, until they're SERIOUSLY in trouble.

Final Yr Project Presentation!

last sat n sun (1&2 Apr) was the final yr project presentation for the DVM5s!! oh wow.. after such a torture in researching, we finali got the chance to boast abt our project! hehe.. tat's the very optimistic version to describe how we felt. the practical version is of course.. "tension! stress! gila!!".

generally, i conclude this project as the best my class ever presented(compared to comprehensive), for most of us. coz, in comprehensive, most of us read the script n dun care a single thing whether the audience existed or not.. and the projected questions during Q n A session usually dun get the answers. while in this project, most of us presented very smartly, it is as though a sales man talking abt his product, and i was truly amazed, *salute!* and the best part was the questionin n answering.. most of us answered the right thing..
and these made the presentation ever more interesting!

here are a few interesting snaps for you to ponder on. hehe.. courtesy of Mr. Ting - the official technician of DVM5 2006. =) free advertisement for him.. good buddy ma.. :P
