KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Veterinary Medical Association (MAVMA) is collaborating with the Malaysian Small Animal Veterinary Association (MSAVA) to provide free services to animals affected by the floods.

Universiti Putra Malaysia Veterinary Medicine Faculty lecturer Dr Farina Mustaffa Kamal said the mission started today till Dec 27.

She said the mobile veterinary clinic is based in the most affected flood area near Taman Sri Muda, Shah Alam, and will operate from 9am to 6pm.

"The public can bring their own pets or stray animals to the mobile clinic. Animals such as dogs and cats will be examined and given treatment by licenced veterinarians for free.

"This effort has obtained support from veterinarians from various agencies and clinics, and we will also be distributing animal food, and other medical tools.

"The coordinates of the mobile clinic are 3.0209197998046875,101.53856658935547, at Taman Sri Muda KFC/Pizza Hut parking area," she said in a statement today.

Acknowledging that many animals were affected by the floods, Dr Farina hopes this mission could help them accordingly.

"This is to make sure animals also get treatment and are healthy despite the floods."
