4063. VETERINARY - Health screening. Blood test is needed in a sick old Maltese. Septicaemia.

 

An old Maltese with a bloated stomach stopped eating
Veterinary Stories by Dr Sing Kong Yuen, BVMS (Glasgow).

SEPTICAEMIA, HEPATITIS AND GASTRIC DISTENSION IN AN OLD MALTESE

8 Sep 2022.
14-year-old Maltese. Very fussy eater for 2 weeks. Ate only new food and hand-fed. But now has no appetite. Bloated stomach filled with gas. Percussion and a stethosope used - Gas sounds were heard.

The owner was not keen on a blood test to screen for the health of this old dog as a vet had done a blood test some weeks ago.

"Blood tests are important now to screen the health of the dog. He is ill as he is not eating." The owners consented. Blood test revealed a serious infection of the liver and blood due to bacteria. The dog had hepatitis and septicaemia.

Antibiotics were prescribed for the next 10 days and an IV dextrose saline drip was given.

11 Sep 2022.
The owner WhatsApp me regarding a big bruise on the jugular area of the left neck. "The dog had traumatised this area using his left hind paw to scratch it," I said. The dog does this now and then as confirmed by the owner. The owner would ice this area and apply a steroid cream which the wife had been prescribed by her doctor.

As to why the dog 

scratched this area and bruising it, the cause is unknown.

4061. PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE FULL MOON

The blue ring, or a lunar halo, is caused by the refraction and reflection of light from ice crystals that are suspended in thin, wispy, cirrus or cirrostratus clouds that are at high altitudes.

How to capture a moonrise or moonset

There are two exceptions to the advice to avoid photographing the Full Moon.

The first is when there's a total lunar eclipse, and the second is when a Full Moon as it rises or sets, as it's a great alternative to a sunset. The sight of a Full Moon peeking above the horizon and turning from deep orange to pale yellow to bright white during twilight is a spectacular sight. It also presents an opportunity to get the Moon in the context of a beautiful landscape.

The colourful spectacle lasts mere minutes and is easy to miss, but, like everything else in the night sky, a rising Full Moon is predictable down to the second. Simply find out exactly on what day the next Full Moon is going to be where you are, and exactly what time sunset is on that date, then look to the east for the moonrise. Start-off with your camera set to ISO 100, f10 and 1/125.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: CATCH LIGHTS

10 Sep 2022:  CATCH LIGHT IN PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

Cannot get too close as the lizard will either jump off the tree or scurry up tree.
I was inside the car. Park close to it. Unwind window from passenger seat.
Support my camera on window sill of car or some inside car support from driver side.
Focus my Canon R5 on his eye. P Mode.
Took several shots continuous mode in sets of 3. Only 3 are OK. This is one of them.

Catch light in eye makes this photo an attractive one. It came from the morning sun, around 9.30 AM.

 

A catch light is a spark of light in your subject’s eyes. This spark will help you to draw your viewer’s attention to your subject’s eyes, making them full of life and, well, sparkling.

The light source must be visible as a reflection in the subject’s eyes.

4057. An old female Syrian hamster has pus discharges from her private parts. Open pyometra.

9 Sep 2022.
 

PYOMETRA is the presence of pus inside the womb or uterus. The female Syrian hamster showed yellowish thick pus discharging from her private parts for several days. The owner wanted antibiotics to treat the infection. In some cases, the hamster could be cured, but the pyometra will usually recur. 
 

This case could not be cured using antibiotics. The lady owner contacted Covid-19 in the meantime and could not give medication. Toa Payoh Vets hospitalise the hamster for medication of antibiotics. The owner decided to have surgery to get the infected womb taken out. The hamster is well after the spay and is back home now.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS. Focus on one flower of the Bouganvillae. Use tripod

PHOTOGRAPHY TIP.  Focus on ONE flower as close to you as possible.

8 Sep 2022. Overhead bridge plantar box bougainvillae.

Bougainvillae is the most popular roadside plant.  The purple bracts of the bougainvillea are modified leaves. The actual flowers are the three tiny trumpet-shaped structures with yellow petals.

Canon R5  Aperture Mode, F/16  ISO 200. Tripod is needed. Breezy. Took 3 shots.

-----------------------------------

3 Nov 2022. 5 pm. Changi Airport. Terminal 3, along the road to outside the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIP: Focus on one flower
A rare sighting of pink-white bougainvillae as most of them seen in Singapore are one solid colour. The flowers are small, tubular and cream-coloured. They are covered by triangle-shaped and pointed pink-white bracts which are often mistaken for petals. Bracts are modified leaves.

Canon R5, Tripod is needed. Breezy. Take multiple shots.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIP. Stabilise your smart phone to get sharp images.

 22 Feb 2023. 

White bougainvillae blooms in a high-rise condo. Taken by smartphone by Yen.
This is a sharp image. The image looks beautiful. It speaks to me.

Captioned by me.

 Two white bougainvillae say “Good Morning” to me today.

The others slumber peacefully in the cool morning breezes.

A steady hand produces sharp images.
