Surfed internet and came to Toa Payoh Vets

Other images using yellow light from otoscope. Tongue is swollen, pigmented and ulcerated but there are no bleeding ulcers

"When will she recover her appetite?" the owners wanted the slider back home as the children miss her.
"It is hard to say as the tongue is ulcerated, bruised and swollen," I explained. "The X-rays showed the right uterus is filled with white liquid. The eyelids were swollen earlier."
