CASE STUDY BY TOA PAYOH VETS. SUMMARY FOR INSTAGRAM

https://www.instagram.com/toapayohvets/

On 24 Apr 2002, an 8-month-old red-eared slider developed swollen eyes and stopped eating for many days. The lady owner was very worried. If Terra continued to be anorexic, he would die from starvation and malnutrition. Internet research on swollen eyes and eye drops from pet shops did not restore Terra's appetite. Water hygiene, submersion in water for long hours, lack of sufficient basking platform, no UV lights or good water filtration system and diet are possible causes of swollen eyes.

The owner resolved all the deficiencies and as at 1 Jun 2022, Terra has no swollen eyes, is active, eating a lot and free from shell rot.

Terra is also known as TEE for the sick red-eared slider in this case study

A video clip is better than an image, but both should be used in video production.

HOOK FOR for Instagram @toapayohvets, an image is used.

VIDEOS IN YOUTUBE

use this as the hook video

a very spacious tank with clean waters

a good water filtration system

a spacious white basking platform
items purchased online from China. A happy ending. But

this rosy environment was so much different from a cluttered
small grey plastic container 5 MONTHS AGO!

great difficulty in grasping the salmon meat at home initially. Owner

is advised to be patient and feed small pieces of pellets and meat.

With time, Terra recoverd fully his ability to grasp food and swallow properly.

great difficulty in grasping pellets at home

Toa Payoh Vets staff demonstrated to the owner how

to syringe feed TERRA since the owner did not

accept hospitalisation for around 3 days. From our experience,
most owners will be unable to syringe oral medicatioin

to their pet red-eared slider.

27 JAN 2022. Owner is unable to syringe feed oral medication
at home. She did not accept Dr Sing's advice to hospitalise
the slider on 27 Jan 2022, during the first consultation.
The staff at Toa Payoh Vets demonstrated to her

how she could syringe feed. (see videos x 2 above).
