We visited Diesel Jr on Saturday

He was still lethargic, lying down on his side most of the time while on drip. On one ocassion, he got up on all 4, with head held low, before settling down to rest again.


As of yesterday, he is looking better and we'll go see him later today to decide if we will commence heartworm treatment today.

On the same day, with Y and W, we brought Little Anne for her full check up and blood test to rule out heartworms as she had been coughing slightly, panting and one episode of vomiting yellowish foamy fluid.


Little Anne was a cooperative client as the vet tech took her blood and then the vet gave her a thorough body check up. All looks and feels good - her gums, her organs, her blood test negative for heartworms. Most likely a case of indigestion and getting used to change of diet and environment. Well, she is a little on the chubby side. :) Cough mixture and a course of antibiotics was prescribed and off we went back home to PP.



One red line indicating no heartworms.

That very morning, we also managed to catch 2 more young dogs for sterilisation. The remaining few are bit more wary which we'll try again soon. So far, we've sterilised 6 pups from that area.
All in all, a fruitful day, especially so to know and be assure of a clean bill of health for Little Anne who is just such a sweet and intelligent girl. Whoever adopts her will be one blessed family.

It's such leg work, hand work and heart work that keeps us going. Each close encounter with a living, sentient being who has come along our path. And for whom, each of us do our part to make his/her life a little bit better than before.

On our part, time and effort we are most willing to put in for the needy ones out there. What we seek now is your support in terms of the sterilisation and medical fees at the clinic as our funds for stray work is running very low. Donations can be made by cheque directly to the vet clinic and we will mail the receipt to you. Pls email us at projectjkteam@yahoo.com.sg for more donation details.
Thank you very much.
