PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Use a monopod if a tripod is not allowed.  Gardens by the Bay's Natal lily.
Saturday 20 Jul 2024 - Gardens by the Bay staff told me that my tripod is not permitted to be used on weekends. So I converted it into a monopod so that I can take a sharp photo of the Natal Lily flower.

SETTINGS ARE:
20 Jul 2024: 1.35pm
Canon R5, mono-pod, 105 mm, 1/160 sec, f/8.0, ISO 200.
AV mode is better as lighting changes fast. Some sunlight falls on the flowers.

5945. VET CASE STUDY: Cryptorchidism in a dog. Why is neuter recommended?

Use the following to make a video. Use tik tok's capcut auto-narration. Make slides of the text for video.

 

VET CASE STUDY:  CRYPTO-ORCHIDISM -Why is neuter recommended?


CASE 20240720
TP45159 TR


 

 

This case is in Singapore. It is a city state of around 6 million residents in 2022. Photo shows the skyscrapers of the international banks in the financial district.




 

This video is from our

SPONSOR Toa Payoh Vets

  

 

 

On 12th July 2024, TR, a 2-year-old Male entire Maltipoo, 3.76kg, 38.5 deg C was neutered.

 


 

 

 

His physical examination showed no abnormalities discovered except for the unilateral left cryptochidism. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Anaesthetic used were ketamine, medetomedine and isoflurane gas. Two testicles were removed at Toa Payoh Vets.

 

TR  recovered from anesthesia and went home, with medication. He did not need to return for stitch removal as the stitches were absorbed. 



( Ask owner for a video of the dog 14 days after neuter). 1-minute



Cryptorchidism means one or both testicles fail to move into the scrotum.  

 

If both testicles are retained in the abdomen or under the skin, the dog will be infertile. Cryptorchidism can happen in one or both testicles.



VET CASE STUDY:  CRYPTO-ORCHIDISM -Why is neuter recommended?


CASE 20240720
TP45159 TR


Neuter is advised for health reasons, as retained testicles may be cancerous or twisted (testicular torsion) when the dog grows older. 

 

An older dog has a higher risk of anaesthetic death as he may not be healthy. It is best to neuter him at less than one year of age when he is healthy.

GOOGLE REVIEW. 

On 1 Jun 2019, my wife and I checked into Lanson Place. I like the kitchenette inside my room which is well maintained and clean. The staff is well trained and very helpful. Location is very good as it is walking distance to the subway station.

Now it is 15 Jul 2024. I share a photo of the Lanson Place sign. Is the signboard still there? Will the management email to me the recent signboard to 99pups@gmail.com? I will very much appreciate it.

In conclusion, for the staff and management - 5 stars for good work.

5942. Hong Kong housing data

 Ref: Sunday Times. Sunday, July 14, 2024. 

Hong Kong recorded its hottest day so far in 2024 on July 7, with temperatures reaching 35 deg C in several areas. The heat forced lower-income households to spend even more of their limited budget on higher water and electricity consumption.

Subdivided units typically are no bigger than 150 sq ft, about size of a standard parking space in Singapore.

Rooftop huts range from 100 to 300 sq ft. e.g. metal-encased rooftop structure in Kowloon

Cage homes as small as 15 sq ft, smaller than a single-sized mattress.

Poor ventilation and materials like metal sheets which absorb and trap heat are used in such housing. They turn the homes into "ovens".  Residents seek relief by staking out air-conditioned malls, libraries and other public facilities.

Over time, children's physical discomfort (insomnia, bad temper) affect their mental, emotional and behavioural development and school performance.

 

Average wait for public housing is around 5.8 years. A transitional housing scheme is still awaiting roll-out in 2025 at the earliest. 

On July 8, the Housing Authority announced a raise in the public housing rents by 10%. Tenants would, on average, pay HK$230 (SR40) mor in rent monthly from January. 

A 2021 govt report - one-third of households living in subdivided flats earn a monthly income of at least HSR20,000, exceeding their public housing income ceiling. The limit is HK$12,9940 and HK$19,730 for one- and two-person households respectively.

Prospective home buyers have turned to the rental market, putting off home purchases due to persistently high interest rates and expectations that property prices will fall further.


1. No. of households in Hong Kong's public rental flats:   >800,000.

2. Number of residents who live in subdivided flats, rooftop structures and cage homes - which are privately owned - in a city of around 7.5 million people:  >220,000.
