I don't know why but the day's activity seemed to build momentum so by early evening everything started to happen all at once. While "Frostie Fosters" were collecting their temporary cold-weather dogs from the Tai Po Homing Centre, we had a crowd of potential adopters at Ap Lei Chau until the very last minute, and I was trying my best to help from Lamma. Although we open from 10am to 6pm, we do suggest that anyone interested in adopting gives themselves time to spend with the dogs and puppies, and to be able to ask the Homing Centre staff questions. In the end nobody was adopted but Lotto was offered a home by follow-up email later on.
At the same time that Iris was trying to help the visitors, we also had two older puppies at the newly-opened Ap Lei Chau Vet Clinic (ALCVC) who needed to be collected before closing time. Cider was having a tick fever test to see that he was clear of any antibodies that would prevent him being imported to Australia at a later date, and little Marlon was having his hips X-rayed in case he needed surgery for hip dysplasia. The way he walks seem to indicate that he has a problem and we wanted to get that sorted out.
In case you live in the area or even within easy reach of Ap Lei Chau and were wondering about the clinic, it's not fully operational yet in terms of surgery and hospitalisation, but the vet is Dr Denise Ying, who treats the animals holistically and in as natural a way as possible with emphasis on diet. If you're one of the many people whose dog suffers from skin problems then you might want to consider alternatives to drugs and commercial prescription food and look at treating the condition more naturally. Actually the same applies to many chronic conditions that benefit from supportive natural treatment. If you're interested in knowing more Tel 25487100 .
