4467. Femoral head ostetomy

Vet Case Study: The Pomeranian cannot put down her painful left hind leg. What to do?

This Be Kind To Pets veterinary educational video is sponsored by Toa Payoh Vets. The script is written by Dr Sing Kong Yuen, BVMS (Glasgow) on 19 February 2025.

This video explains one treatment of a hip dislocation in a 5-year-old female Pomeranian in Myanmar by Dr Thet Hmue Kyaw, BVSc (Yezin).

The Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) is a surgical operation to remove the head and neck from the femur.

It is performed by vets to alleviate pain in the hip  in the dog, cat  and horses. Pain hip can be caused by hip dysplasia, dislocations, fractures and arthritis.

The head of the femur bone is removed using a small saw or a bone hammer and chisel.

The hip joint is left without a replacement femoral head. There is a pseudoarthrosis (also called a "false joint").No more bone to bone contact causing painafter FHO.

No more bone to bone contact causing painafter FHO. The dog is able to walk normally one to two months after FHO surgery.

The cost of the FHO surgery in a small breed dog such as the Pomeranian in Singapore can be S$6,000 or 9,392,340 Myanmar Kyats.  

The Pomeranian had the FHO done recently. The follow-up one month later is not due.

WILDLIFE SINGAPORE.

Young dragonflies appear after several months of absence in Yio Chu Kang Crescent, with forested area slashed and heavy thermal fogging to kill the mosquitoes such that no butterflies and dragonflies as well as mosquitoes can live, a similar situation to the bombardment of Gaza. 

 

A red dragonfly is seen basking. A few young mosquitoes have appeared to bite me in the past few days.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS - How to take attractive travel photos - smartphone v. digital camera.
Dr David Sing Kong Yuen.  17 Feb 2025.

 

Travel photos make excellent memories of our travels during our younger days. Attractive travel photos
make them much more appreciated unlike blurry ones. This Educational Video by Dr David Sing Kong Yuen discusses his October 2024 Wuhan photography experiences and lessons learnt. 

In summary, smartphones and digital cameras take good quality photos outdoors when there is good lighting and stability of the cameras. Examples are the Yellow Crane Tower, Da Yu Cultural Garden's Yu the Great and Yinglong winged dragon, and Huang Xiang Memorial Park.

However, in lighting that changes frequently and are dark sometimes, as during the Huangchuan County Theatre performances. Example of a poor quality smartphone photo indoors is the audience in yellow tops in Huangchuan County Theatre. Example of a good quality digital camera in this Theatre is the image of the Guzheng music performers.

Practise photography daily if possible and research will enable you to shoot attractive photos.
