"He is still a virgin," the fair lady tutor of English, Maths and Science full-time said. "All these years, he was not naughty. Then yesterday, he started mounting the neighbour's female dog."
"He didn't do it before," I said. "The other neighbours would have female dogs but they would be spayed and therefore do not produce a pheromone that attracted him. Is the female dog he is interested spayed?"
"No," she said.
"The other female dogs had been spayed and so didn't attract him!"
"Will he still mount now he is neutered?" she asked. "He is a virgin and in the pas 7 years, he never did this."
"Yes, for a while as his testosterone hormones are still present. After a few weeks, he will not be susceptible to female dogs on heat."
I reviewed the medical record. The dog came in Oct 30, 2012 as he had a right malar abscess. He was a healthy normal dog. Dr Daniel neutered him and the owner came at 6 pm to take him home. She is a private tutor. "I enjoy my job very much," she said. "The free lancers give up as the syllabus is too difficult for them. . I have job security!"
"The Maths is so advanced that even well educated parents cannot tutor their own children," I said. So there is a great demand for full-time and passionate professional private tutors like her. Private tutors coaching small groups can earn more than an average employee if she puts in the hours and perform since there are fewer of such experienced tutors nowadays.

1333. A rabbit grows a "horn" above the left eye
"The rabbit grows a horn," I said to Julia.
"Why would a rabbit grow a horn?"
"Because he is horny."
Seriously, I had a case of an 8-year-old rabbit growing a prominent "horn" in around 2 weeks.
Dr Daniel was thinking it could be a sarcoma. My advice would be to excise it. X-rays showed a growth. Dr Daniel and I operated. Histology indicated a sarcoma.
"It grows big very fast," the neurology nurse said to me. "One week ago, it was a small lump."
"It is likely to recur," I said. "It was too big to completely excise all tissues. The bony skull would have remnants of the cells.

1332. Follow up on Sharpei with oily skin & blood in the urine
March 21, 2013 12.45pm
Phoned the mother but she could talk very briefly that the dog was not passing blood in the urine and that the skin was less "waxy". The dog vomited food + tablets 2 days ago but is now OK. Will call me back later.
REVIEW OF THE HISTORY
This is probably a Chow Chow X Sharpei, F, not spayed, 4 years old.
Mar 13, 2013
Presented for oily skin disease and 6-month haematuria (blood in the urine). Vet 1 had taken X-ray and found no bladder stones. After antibiotics, blood is seen during urination. This occurred for at least 6 months.
I had taken bladder and kidney X-rays and found no radio-dense urinary stones. However I saw bright red blood peed out in the midst of urination and also bloody vaginal discharge.
Bladder palpation was a solid firm bladder (thickened wall). Little pain. No crepitus. I thought there was a large stone and told the owner on the first visit and palpation.
Skin scraping +ve demodex, fungi, yeast
Blood test - elevated total white cell count
Urine test - pH 9.0, bacteria +, struvite crystals +, blood +
X-rays - no obvious stones in urinary tract
S/D to dissolve struvites + antibiotics. 2 weeks to review.
