4132. Small dot of an ear wart to a large ear tumour

CASE STUDY. A small dot on the ear becomes a large ear tumour.

On 19 Oct 2022, a hamster owner WhatsApp Toa Payoh Vets regarding a tumour in her hamster' right

ear. Was there cause for worry? I asked her to WhatsApp some images. She sent out of focus images as the hamster was moving.

There is cause for worry if your dwarf hamster has ear warts. The common drugs applied to warts will not eliminate them. Consult your hamster vet to surgically remove them once and for all. If left alone, the ear warts grow bigger and bigger.

If the owner ignores the ear wart, the hamster will try to rub it off the wart as it is irritating and itchy. Sometimes, the eye gets injured or infected due to dirt or dust falling into the eye. The eye becomes itchy. More rubbing over time may result in eye infections or eyeball rupture and prolapse. 

APPOINTMENT TO EXAMINE AND PROBABLY TO AMPUTATE THE
LARGE RIGHT EAR TUMOUR IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE IT ON 27 OCT 2022.

IF IT IS CANCEROUS, IT IS BEST TO AMPUTATE THE EAR PINNA TO PREVENT RECURRENCE

 

When the tumour was just a small dot, there would be no need to amputate the ear pinna.

 SINGAPORE WILDLIFE. A rare sighting of the small-sized moth of 1-cm wing span in Yio Chu Kang Cres forest on 19 Oct 2022. Degradation of the habitat by thermal foggings leads to decline of moths.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION. Miniature moths in Yio Chu Kang Crescent Forest - 19 Oct 2022 are seen again but less than ten in numbers. This is due to loss of habitat by regular tree pruning, grass cutting of the forest path, thermal fogging to control dengue fever degrading the environment for the past months. North-South Corridor (Viaduct) construction nearby in Lentor Ave will be in progress for the next few years, adding to habitat loss. Dragonflies, damselflies, moths, butterflies and spiders have had disappeared in the past months.

4130. Storm water canal pollution at 6PM, 19 Oct 2022.

SINGAPORE - 19 OCT 2022, 6 PM: White cloudy liquid has just been discharged into the Yio Chu Kang Cres storm water canal opposite the Seletar Bus Depot at the Yio Chu Kang Crescent/Lentor Ave junction. Water will flow to the Seletar Simpang Kiri River and eventually to the Seletar Reservoir where our drinking water comes from.

I saw this white discharge at other times, but this evening, it appeared from under the bridge (foreground, not visible).  

What is this discharge?
1. Unwanted insecticide chemicals for anti-mosquito fogging
2. Bleach or chemicals

Could the discharge be from:
1. The contractors of  the North-South Corridor (Viaduct) construction
2. The Seletar Bus Depot staff.

4128. SINGAPORE MRT SUBWAY STATIONS

19 Oct 2022:

WHERE DOES THIS HAMSTER LIVE?  IN SINGAPORE.

The dwarf hamster with the black mass dangling from her mouth lives in Singapore which has around 6 million people as at Oct 2022. Singapore is a city state with a good network of subway stations called MRT stations which are well located next to the bus station. Most people take the subway and bus to work or to shop as cars are very expensive her.

4127. CAR MAINTENANCE. Metallic screeching sounds from my car

18 Oct 2022 was my Audi car servicing appointment for my car with the metallic screeching sound some 2 weeks ago. There were no more sounds. I had not wanted to go. My older technician had gone to the a BMWr employer, but the young man replacing him provided good service too.

The rear brakes were bled out of air bubbles. So it was fortunate I went and reached there at 8 AM.

 

EXCELLENT AFTER-SALES SERVICE. REFRESHMENTS.
The tea lady who worked for 8 years was on leave today, so one of the 4 after-sales girls made the coffee. She could not ink a leaf on the Spinelli (Old blend) coffee in my cup of coffee.

2. Very well trained in after sales service. The four old girls had not returned after the Covid-19 had closed borders and they could not go home to Malaysia for around 2 years. No problem with replacements who are well trained. One said I was not entitled to the $10.00 taxi voucher as my car was not sent in for routine servicing. She offered me the shuttle bus service. I thanked her but decided to walk to the Tai Seng MRT station as exercise. 

3. An LED screen displaying and welcoming customers who sent in the far for service could be a good idea.

4126. SINGAPORE STORIES - Bamboo trees in the Shiseido Forest Valley

18 OCT 2022.
Bamboo trees in the Shiseido Forest Valley -  Jewel Changi Airport.
What species is it? The stalks are thin unlike some bamboos in the forests of Japan and other countries.
I think one or two big-stalked bamboo trees will be most impressive and attractive to tourists and locals.

4125. Elephant's Ear plant Singapore

 Elephant’s ear plants thrive along the bank of the Seletar Simpang Kiri River, Singapore. Can cause nausea, diarrhoea, delirium and death upon ingestion

 Elephant's ear plants are toxic when eaten as they contain calcium oxalate crystals in the sap. They are usually pest and disease resistant and make excellent ornamental foliage plants as the heart-shaped leaves are very large.
