APRIL 2022.
THE SWOLLEN-EYED RED-EARED SLIDER STOPS EATING
Red-eared slider had swollen eyes and no appetite for many days.
1.  Treated by Dr Sing Kong Yuen at Toa Payoh Vets.
2.  Dr Sing advised a GOOD HOUSING ENVIRONMENT for the two red-eared sliders to prevent recurrences of swollen eyes and loss of appetite.

This includes:
2.1  More spaces to swim. The owner bought a bigger tank
2.2  More space to bask. The owner bought the white plastic basking platform. It replaces the small crammed floating object you would see in the blog.
2.3 UV lights placed above the basking platform in the daytime.
2.4 A good water filter and filtration pump. You can see the water has air bubbles and is clearer.

3.  The lady owner bought the above-mentioned items online from China. It cost her a lot of money. The eldest daughter's pets were now her responsibility. Hence she consulted me at Toa Payoh Vets in April 2022.
