1044. Follow up on Jack Russell with ascites
Sunday Jul 28, 2013
11.30 am
"I don't sms replies when there is too much text to do thumb," I said to the owner of the 13-year-old male aggressive Jack Russell.
I had texted: "Is dog breathing normally and not coughing?"
She responded at 9.19 am: "Yes, not coughing anymore. one thing I forgot to ask. Last few weeks when he barked too much, he sort of lost his orientation n balance n "faint" on the floor n whole body tense up n he involuntarily urinate. So is it normal?"
Continuing: she texted: "Is that a symptom of other illness I mean?"
"Thank you for your text doctor"
Another text 1 minute later at 9.21 am "I dissolve medicine with milk n he drank all the milk with the dissolved medication."
So I phoned her to discuss further as I am not into texting furiously.

1042. Glagow University Vet Degree is in Latin in 1974 - translated to English
From 1969-1974, I studied veterinary medicine in Glasgow University. I was surprised that the degree is in Latin. The Singapore Government accepted it. However, if I want to work in Yangon, I will need to get it translated and notarised. The translation into English costs $78.00!

1041. Sri Vairavimada Kaliamman Temple, Toa Payoh Lor 8 - near Toa Payoh Vets
It is extremely difficult to take a good interesting picture of the Hindu temple. For those going to Toa Payoh Vets by bus 238 from the HDB Hub, alight at the Hindu temple on Toa Payoh Lor 8. Let the bus driver know that you wish to alight opposite the Hindu temple and polyclinic.
For car drivers from Braddell Road, you need to proceed towards the right of the image, turn left. At the first traffic light, turn left and enter Toa Payoh Industrial Park. You will pass the Kim Keat Community Centre on your left. Keep left and goto Block 1002. \

1040. Sunday's interesting cases - A whimpering old dwarf hamster
Sun Jul 21, 2013
A bright and sunny haze-free Sunday. I thought this would be a relaxing Sunday but it was the busiest of all Sundays requiring two vets to prevent long waiting times of more than 10 minutes per client. Dr Daniel would be operating (dwarf hamster with ear tumour, dental scaling of one Bengal cat and one old Schnauzer with back pain) or doing blood collection on two aggressive dogs and clipping by the groomer. All these take time. The groomer had 4 dogs with skin diseases and one with tick infestation to clip bald and bathe.
So I was busy attending to consultations, phone queries and discharge of the cases to be completed before 5 pm. We all skipped lunch.
Today I had planned to visit my first nephew who would be nearing one month of age. So there was a bit of a rush.
The outstanding case was that of a 2-year-old dwarf hamster. She just fell asleep in the weighing bowl after examination. As if she had a very late night. "In my 40 years of practice, I have yet to see a dwarf hamster falling asleep at 10 am in a new surrounding! Your hamster must be sick. She would freeze up when I held her for examination."
The large ear tumour kept growing bigger and bigger and the hamster started making squeaky noises. "She has been whimpering for the past week and scratching her left ear lump," the young lady finally brought her to me for treatment. Some time ago, she had another hamster with a larger lump but the vet said he would not operate. So she did not seek any vet with this hamster's tumour.
If you have got the tumour excised when it is smaller," I said. "There is very little chance of this hamster dying during anaesthesia."
Such a gigantic lump. Such a weak old hamster. The owner consented to the surgery.
"No injection," I said to Dr Daniel. "Just isofurane gas. She may not survive."
In the midst of surgery, the hamster stopped breathing.
