Thur 9 Jun 2022, 9 AM: Forecourt Garden Esplanade Singapore has very few butterflies nowadays. So I did not expect to see any. But the Common Tiger was fluttering within 2 feet of me and permitted me to take a close up video with my iPhone of him or her sipping honey. A plain lime green butterfly of medium size too appeared and was captured in the video. Very rare footage of two butterflies close by in one video at the Esplanade.

4052. Final Video: A 4-year-old poodle dislocates her hip

Jan 9, 2018 case

Craniodorsal hip luxation is usually due to trauma. In this poodle, a helper stepped on the back, dislocating the left hip. Vet 1 tried closed reduction (without surgery) but the hip dislocated again. FHO (Femoral hip osteotomy) was performed by Toa Payoh Vets.

AFTER CLOSED REDUCTION by Vet 1, the hip dislocated again.

 

In this case, FEMORAL HEAD OSTEOTOMY (FHO) is being done.

X-rays confirmed hip dislocation has occurred.

 

The surgery is summarised as follows:
Blunt dissection of muscles

Expose femoral head more by using an assistant to abduct the joint

Bone cutter to cut off the femoral head

Create a false joint

Stitch up skin
