On the 1st of December, a completely blind and deaf dog was heartlessly abandoned in the West side of Singapore.
Due to the loss of sight and hearing, the cross breed small-sized dog was circling at a void deck and repeatedly knocks itself against walls, passer bys and even stray cats. The dog also did not respond to noise or strangers at all.
SPCA was inform but was stop before they could bring the dog back to their pound (which would mean death for the dog).
The dog is named ‘Lobster’ and was brought to the Dr Kenneth (AAVC) for a check. Blood test result indicates that her kidneys are functioning well but not the liver. Liver supplements were prescribed for the dog
The dog’s eyes couldn’t be salvage and she has breathing difficulties that cause her to breathe very heavily. Respiratory aid was given to help in relaxing her lungs.
The vet also mentioned that Lobster is an almost 10 years old female dog that either had been sterilise or had given birth a few years ago as the vet could feel a stitch on the stomach. She also had very bad tartar on her teeth that reasons for her bad odour.
Lobster also has joint problems probably due to her old age. The pain causes great discomfort for her that cause her to whine in pain, especially during the night.
Lobster is now in a foster’s (Esther) home that could only keep the dog till end of December.
We would like to appeal for help in any ways urgently. Anyone who would be able to foster or adopt the poor dog after end of the month or would like to donate to her medical, boarding, transport, supplement bills etc, please contact Kahyong at 98176735 or Esther at 81023019. Do leave a number for us to call you back if we happen to miss your calls.
Attached are the photos of Lobster after grooming and the receipt from the vet (AAVC).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Please help to spread the word. Thank you.

Dear friends,
On the 1st of December, a completely blind and deaf dog was heartlessly abandoned in the West side of Singapore.
Due to the loss of sight and hearing, the cross breed small-sized dog was circling at a void deck and repeatedly knocks itself against walls, passer bys and even stray cats. The dog also did not respond to noise or strangers at all.
SPCA was inform but was stop before they could bring the dog back to their pound (which would mean death for the dog).
