3254. INTERN. A 3-year-old female spayed poodle vomits blood and pass gas

August 29, 2018

Vomited fresh red blood 2 x today. Owner is very worried.
Not eating for 3 days. Diarrhoea for 3 days. Passed lots of smelly gas
Had fed chicken bones 1-2 weeks ago.

X RAY shows no large chicken bones. Stomach and intestines distended with gas.

Acute gastroenteritis
IV drip, antibiotics, multivitamins, anti-diarrhoea one day.
Goes home next day.

Vomiting fresh blood is a serious condition. Most likely, some foreign bodies had irritated the guts leading to vomiting and diarrhoea. The blood test shows normal blood system, liver and kidneys.

3253. A brown pigeon posed for me on the tree during my exercise Aug 29, 2018 8.10am

Aug 29, 2018 Thur

Yesterday, Aug 28, 2018 was Wang Mu Niang Niang's birthday (18th day of the Chinese ghost festival).

Today, I went for exercise in the public fitness park, hoping to see the birds on the tree opposite my exercise machine. A brown pigeon flew to the tree, hidden partially by leaves and posed for me.  So, I got only one good photo out of over 20 blurred ones.

Not able to focus as the pigeon was 2 storeys high up the leafy tree. It flew to the roadside kerb and I took 2 images which did not look sharp or brown.

3252. INTERN*****. Ninja. A 16-year-old female red-eared slider swims lop-sided. X-rays in Jul 27 2018 and Sep 27 2018

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

Last time she pooped was Aug 6, 2018
Some smelly yellow stools were seen by the owner.


CONCLUSION

X RAYS show radio-dense mass inside the right side of the slider. As the slider is not gasping for breath and is able to poop, drink and spew air bubbles, it is deduced that the respiratory and alimentary systems are normal. The mass is likely to be inside the right uterus due to rotten eggs not being laid out.

Feeding 3-6 X a day by syringe to prevent malnutrition and death is being done for the next 14 days.
Antibiotics, pellets and critical care in a syringe.
VIDEO FEEDING. Show a video of feeding by syringe




UPDATE ON AUG 31, 2018 (DAY 6)
As at Day 6, the red-eared slider has become more active but is losing weight despite syringe feeding at least 3X per day.  She has a normal pink tongue and is still not eating. This video is created from Day 1 to Day 6. There is a chance of the slider recovering provided she is syringe fed with Critical Care, multivitamins and antibiotics to prevent malnourishment and death.

Day 1. Tongue inflamed, swollen and has ulcers

Day 6. Tongue is normal pink, not inflamed and has no ulcers
