UPDATE ON LILY - THE DOG FOUND IN BUKIT INDAH

UPDATE: 01/01/13 Lily has been adopted

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

A quick update on the dog that we took in on Monday. We have decided to call her Lily, and she is really the sweetest girl ever.

We took her to the vet yesterday and she sat really nicely in the car. She did get car-sick though after about 5 minutes, and threw up all her breakfast. So we strapped on the Thundershirt on her and she was a lot less stressed. We hope it's just a case of her never being in a car before...

Lily was very well behaved at the clinic and let Dr Singham examine her thoroughly. She has now been vaccinated and dewormed. She also had blood taken to check for heart worms. If she is given the clear, she will commence heart worm preventive treatment soon.

Dr Singham was generally happy with her condition. She didn't seem to have any obvious problems apart from being underweight. We will be fattening her up with some good food and lots of love. Dr Singham said that the scar along her right side could have been from being scalded or from a chemical burn. But it's hard to tell as it has already healed.

Lily is now at a foster carer and is getting alot of exercise (she gets two long walks a day), love and affection. We will be taking Lily for her follow up vaccination in 3 weeks time, and then after that she will be spayed. If no one claims her by then, she will be put up for adoption.

DOG FOUND IN BUKIT INDAH AMPANG

 ************************

I first spotted this girl a couple of days ago, when I was out walking my dogs in the Bukit Indah, Ampang area. She tailed us for quite a distance and was pretty friendly. She was rather thin and dirty but she definitely did not seem like a stray. 

As I didn't have a spare leash on me, I hoped that she would follow us home. Unfortunately, as we were crossing the road she got spooked and ran off. 

As soon I got my own kids back home which was quite a distance away, I drove out with some food to the area where I last saw her but was unable to find her. Since then I have just circled the area a few times a day but did not see her. So I just assumed that she must have found her way home.

And lo and behold, this morning as we were approaching our house at the end of our walk, she springs out at us from the bushes by the side of our house. She somehow found us!

I fed her a raw chicken wing quarter and she chomped through it like she hadn't eaten in ages. Then I gave her a bath and it took three shampoos to get quite a bit of grease off her fur. She is quite thin so I think she must have gotten lost at least a couple of weeks ago. She also had a huge burn/scald scar on her right side - which looks like someone had poured hot water or oil on her.

I gave her 2 more raw chicken leg quarters and she gobbled it up really quickly. The poor thing must have been really hungry. 

Anyway, she is a really sweet dog and she must have belonged to someone. If this is your dog or if you know who this doggie's owner is, please email me at

If she is not claimed within a week or two, she will be put up for adoption after we spay her. But in the mean time, she will be going to our vet when he re-opens on Wednesday for a check up.
