PASIR GUDANG: Pet owners here have been told to give special attention to their pets as they too could be affected by the emission of toxic fumes from the polluted Sungai Kim Kim.

Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter chairman Mariam Yusof said animals too could be exposed to the fumes and their lives could be at risk and owners should keep a lookout for their pets’ health especially their cats and dogs.“Animals who might be suffering from toxic fumes will show similar symptoms to humans such as vomiting with difficulty breathing,” she said.
