CLEO - HOGGING THE BED

RESCUED KITTEN - NEED ADVICE

UPDATE 17/05/13: The little kitten did not make it through the night unfortunately. May she rest in peace. 

*********************************

Hi all,

Need some help. Just rescued a tiny little kitten this morning, prob about 4-6 weeks when I was walking Cleo and Lucky. She has definitely been in an accident of some sort. Fed her some tiny pieces of raw chicken as soon as got her home which she ate with difficulty.

Then took her to the vet, and he confirmed that she was hit by something. Her jaw is slightly misaligned, and she is very very weak. There was pain in her back and legs, but nothing seemed broken. Vet force fed her some a/d tinned food, and then gave her a shot of steroids and a dose of karo syrup. He's worried that there might be some brain damage. It's a case of - see if she can pull through the next 48 hours. If she makes it, then we will look at realigning her jaw later on.

Since she has been back, she has not eaten anything eventhough I have been trying to put some tinned food down her throat. She won't swallow! Not even water. I've offered her raw chicken again and she just won't have it.

Would appreicate some advice, as am generally a dog person... Would know exactly what to do with a dog... but kittens are so tiny and fragile in comparison...

VERDICT ON THE AUSTRALIAN LAMB SHOULDER: PASSED!

Just a few pics of Cleo and Lucky eating their Australian lamb shoulder from Giant!

They enjoyed it thoroughly... (didn't manage to get pics of Rascal and Belle eating their portions as they wouldn't stay still long enough!). 
 

The quality of lamb was actually quite good! And the kids didn't turn their noses up on it, so that was a relief! Yes, my lot are quite picky! If they don't like it or they think it's not good, they won't eat it!

Also, for RM17/kg from a supermarket, it's a good price! I just saw the exact same thing at Cold Storage, Great Eastern Mall this evening for RM24/kg.

So I reckon I shall be making trips to Giant from now on, eventhough I don't actually like shopping in Giant as I find it so messy and disorganised that it usually gives me a headache!

AUSTRALIAN LAMB SHOULDER!

Today I happened to be in Giant and so decided to take a look in their frozen meat section and I found this. Apparently it's Australian Lamb Shoulder and it was only RM17/kg. So I bought some for the kids to try.. Hopefully they will like it...

My only gripe is that it's sliced... so not a big hunk like what they're used to these days. But I will be feeding it in large frozen chunks so it should be fine. Will let all of you know how it goes! If they like it, then lamb can be a regular feature in their meals!

*********************

You see the kids love lamb! But as I usually buy New Zealand lamb which is rather expensive, they don't get it as often as they would like.

A couple of weeks ago, I got 2 huge leg of lambs to be shared between the 4 of them. It cost me RM40+/kg! But it was enough to last them for 2.5 days... So that was alright as a treat...

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

Sorry for neglecting this blog for a while... Have been busy with a two rescued dogs and 4 puppies! And of course have been super duper busy keeping up with the elections and blogging about it... Read my thoughts etc on the elections here: Malaysia's 13th General Elections

I promise I will be a little more diligent with blogging about the kids :)

For now, here are pics of Rascal and Belle snoozing after their giant meal this morning!
