I'm so excited to share how I take and edit my photos for Redbubble and other print sites (like Society6 & Teepublic) in this video today! I decided to explore my own neighbourhood to see if I could take any Redbubble worthy photos and I was pleasantly surprised with my results! I've never actually gone around my own city to find Redbubble content so this also opened my eyes that there's great content all around us. I'll be sharing my complete process from how I found the imagery in the photo, editing the photo (on two different apps) and resizing the image so it fits all Redbubble products perfectly. I hope you guys see that it really doesn't matter where you live, you really can turn anything into a Redbubble worthy photo!

Hi, I’m wondering how I can make my images larger to fit a duvet cover, do you have any advice? Thanks

Tasha Greville I do use a real camera, though when they’re transferred to the computer the resolution is 4000x6000 or something similar. I need the image to be over 11,000x13,000 ish for a king size duvet cover. I do believe I have found a workaround using Canva for anyone that’s interested. You need Canva pro and a canvas size of 4,500x3,821 add the image of your choice then when downloading, change the size from 1x to 3x. This has worked for me and the quality looks fine. I would say that this should only be done a few images/pages at a time as it can take a few mins to save. I tried doing something similar in photoshop but it took too long.

@Alexandra Strambu Yes, your work should be uploaded to RB as RGB, but to ensure the colors are shown on a printed item how you envision them or how you made them, you should finish your design, then convert it to CMYK (change the sautration to your liking) and then convert it back to RGB. Then you can save them as a .PNG and upload it to RB. This is important because prints are done with the CMYK color profile, which has much less vibrant colors than sRGB does.

I just looked at the price other popular artists were charging (and calculated how much of a commission they put) and did somewhere in between, and now I just occasionally increase it by 5-10% every so often. I can make a video about this and test out different commissions to see what's too high lol

Beeliever4 months ago

@Alexandra Strambu i agree 9000x 9000 is large but obviously the best quality most of my image s are 4500x 5400 herd that was best quality for t shirts, all you youtubers have different advise but all good! and some better!!! ;-)

3438. ****Eyelid abscesses in a dwarf hamster in 2008. Case study 1.

8 Nov 2020. Video creation.

HOOK Eyelid Abscesses in dwarf hamsters, like Ear Abscesses in red-eared sliders in Singapore are surgical conditions presented at Toa Payoh Vets. Abscesses in late stages may recur. The vet must give the owner in writing that there is a possibility of recurrence to prevent misunderstanding.  BE KIND TO PETS IMAGE TITLE The owner is unhappy when her hamster's eyelid abscess recur. DEFINE ABSCESS An abscess is a pocket of pus. It can be present anywhere in the body. When an area of your body becomes infected, white blood cells fight the bacteria within the damaged tissue. The area becomes inflamed and in some cases, pus forms in an area. This is known as an abscess. TREATMENT OF RECURRENT ABSCESS: 1. SURGERY. INCISION AND DRAINAGE. Incision and drainage under general anaesthesia. The vet uses a scalpel to cut the abscess so that the pus will drain out. Normal saline is used to wash or irrigate the wound. I recommend a LONGER CUT (more than 5 mm, if possible) to permit residual pus to be drained out post-operation. A video is shown:  https://youtu.be/2MToYprOA0Y  2. REMOVAL OF THE CAPSULE OF THE ENCAPSULATED ABSCESS. This procedure applies to abscesses enveloped by a thick shell. Hence it is called an encapsulated abscess. Incision and drainage will not be effective. Such encapsulated abscesses are not found in dwarf hamsters but can be found in guinea pigs and rabbits. POST OPERATION NURSING CARE FOR THE FIRST 3 DAYS 3 days of inpatient care to prevent recurrence of the abscess in the dwarf hamster and red-eared slider (ear abscess). We use cotton bud tips to express any residual pus from above and below the incision daily. Then we drip antibiotic eye drops onto the eyes and wound. TIPS AND ADVICES TO VETS COMPLAINT OF RECURRENT ABSCESSES Some owners insist on bringing the hamster home on the same day but do NOT know how to provide the prescribed nursing care for at least 3 DAYS. It costs money to treat a recurring abscess. Some owners dispute that they had been advised on the post-operation care as they just applied eye drops onto the wound. The residual pus inside the fast-healing wound regroups to form a recurrent abscess. WRITTEN POST-OP CARE INSTRUCTION TO PREVENT RECURRENT ABSCESSES To prevent misunderstanding, the vet should get the owner to sign a written instruction to the owner on the post-op care and record this in the medical record.

EYELID ABSCESSES IN DWARF HAMSTERS

Two Case: Subconjunctival Abscesses in Dwarf Hamsters    Case 1 - First written: Sep 15, 2008 Case 2 - First written: Apr 28, 2015 Updated: Nov 6, 2020 Case 1. 2008 1.5-year-old dwarf hamster. 3rd recurrence of eyelid abscess. Why? Eyelid abscess is lanced  Eyelid abscess was lanced and drained 4 days ago. Goes home. Proper nursing and hygiene in cage and feeding environment Eyelid abscesses lanced and drained 2 days ago.  The Hamster has swollen eyelids again. "Doc, I will go bankrupt if I continue consulting you," the young lady was worried. "This is the 3rd time in 2 months I have to bring my hamster to be treated." I was amazed. The eyelids of the hamster puffed up again. Full of solid creamy pus that was drained during the past 2 visits. It is an uncommon condition. Why was this hamster having such a problem? Was it his poor immune system due to his age or something in the environment? Why did the bacteria go for the eyelids? Abscesses in hamsters usually are cheesy in character. Usually the hamster's eyes become closed due to the stickiness nature of the pus acting as glue. But in this case, the hamster's eyes did not have pus. The pus was inside his eyelids!      BE KIND TO OLDER HAMSTERS Spend time to clean his water bottle, water bowl and cage regularly. A lack of hygiene in his sleeping and eating area caused this hamster to have eyelid infections. The owner saw me 3 times for the same problem. In her case, she wanted the hamster to drink from the water bowl as the water bottle was leaking. The hamster had to dig into a high feed bowl which is commonly used by Singapore hamster owners too. I presumed the food debris from the hamster's mouth contaminated the water bowl. The water had bacteria and since the hamster drank from the high water bowl, the bacteria got into his eyes and the eyelids. After switching to the water bottle and personally nursing the hamster using the eye drops, the lady owner did not go bankrupt as the hamster recovered. I can imagine that the hamster had to rub his eyes after drinking water from the bowl. Some water could have splashed inside the eyes, together with the food dust, causing eye itchiness. Hence, more rubbing of the eyelids, causing infections to get inside the eyelids---forming eyelid abscesses.

Case 2.  2015 How to prevent a hamster's subconjunctival abscess from recurring The owner wanted the hamster home on the same day as the treatment of the abscess some 5 weeks ago. She disputed that I had advised her how to do post-discharge care. I had told her verbally to use a cotton bud tip to rub above and below the skin wound to express out the pus, daily. In this way, any residual pus would be let out and the abscess would not recur. She only put eye drops.      This article teaches owners how to handle this problem and to prevent the abscess from recurring.  A small skin incision heals too fast if the owner does not express the pus on the second day. There will be pockets of pus still inside the skin. So the abscess recurs. This video shows how an abscess is treated by me at Toa Payoh Vets. Isoflurane + oxygen gas anaesthesia is used here. The whole process of lancing, curetting, irrigating and draining the abscess takes around 5 minutes. The hamster is OK and will be an in-patient for 2 days. On Day 2, I reviewed this gentle chubby hamster. I expressed more yellow pus from the incision wound. By inching out the residual pus, the wound can heal without another abscess popping out in the next week. The owner phoned and her male friend came to check the hamster. She asked whether the hamster could go home. I said no. Hamsters are family members and so the lady owner did not want her as an in-patient but would not want to pay for a recurrent abscess.    POST DISCHARGE NURSING ADVICE IN WRITING. The vet must let the owners wanting to bring the hamster home on the same day, they will have to bear the responsibility of post-discharge nursing and to pay in full should the hamster recur. This should be in writing to prevent any misunderstanding of the responsibilities of post-discharge care and much unhappiness in having to pay again for treatment.  This hamster stayed 2 nights in-patient and was cleared of pus on Day 3. She went home and should not have any recurring abscess within the next 2 weeks.      398. Blog: How to prevent a subconjunctival abscess from recurring Pt 3   397.

3436. What causes a guinea pig to make loud wheezing lung sounds?

 VIDEO CREATION BY STEFANIE

HOOK
VIDEO. Show footage of around 30 seconds.

"My guinea pig was wheezing loudly yesterday evening," the young lady told me that her pet could have caught a cold as the past days were rainy days.  The young female guinea pig's nostrils were opening and closing very fast as she whistled.

   

BKTP IMAGE AND TITLE 

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION.

The guinea pig was the quiet type. She had lost some weight as she was over 800 g. She had no fever and was still eating. I checked her eyes and nose. They did not have any discharge. She also did not cough. Hence I would say she was not suffering from respiratory infections.

  
I auscultated her lungs. I heard loud harsh whistling sounds louder one the left lungs. (IMAGE OF STETHOSCOPE).

She reacted to pain when I palpated the sides of her rib cage were palpated. 

X-RAYS
TRAUMATIC INJURY TO THE LUNG AREAS. The cloudy areas in the left lung area suggested fluid. This could be blood, caused by traumatic injury. The fluid blocked the smooth flow of air in the airways. This lead to wheezes---high pitched whistles when the guinea pig breathes. 

Fluid in the left lungs block the airway passages. When the 
guinea breathes in and out, you can hear the whistling sounds. 

The male guinea pig was around 1 kg while she was around 800g. Both stayed together. 

The sudden onset harsh respiratory sounds, teeth grinding noise were due to great pain to

the chest area, likely caused by the male guinea pig or during play. 

TREATMENT
I warded the guinea pig for one night. I injected antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory. Her wheezes were much reduced in frequency. She passed around 90 pellets and hence was normal.

The owner took her home with antibiotics for 10 days. 

FOLLOW UP

5 days later, on 9 November 2020, I phoned the owner. "My guinea pig still wheezes but her sounds are softer. "She is eating and does not mount the male guinea pig."  

  

A review 2 weeks later is recommended if the wheezes are still present.

What does wheezy breathing sound like?

Wheezing is simply a whistling sound made when breathing. It is typically heard when a person exhales (breathes out) and sounds like a high-pitched whistle. Sometimes it is heard when inhaling — or breathing in — as well. It is not simply loud breathing or the sound of congestion or mucus when you breathe.

Wheezing happens when the airways are tightened, blocked, or inflamed, making a person's breathing sound like whistling or squeaking. Common causes include a cold, asthma, allergies, or more serious conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Youtube and Facebook posting

5 days ago, on Thursday 5 Nov 2020, the young lady owner suspected that the loud wheezes of her guinea pig was due to the cold weather (raining for the past few days). The whistling sounds were audible even from afar.

There was no loss of appetite, but loss of weight. No fever. I palpated both sides of the chest laterally. The guinea pig moved in response to pain experienced on my finger palpation of the chest. X-rays showed fluid in the left lungs. After an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory injection and an overnight inpatient stay, the guinea pig had much lesser wheezes and was sent home. 10 November 2020. I asked the owner to WhatsApp her guinea pig wheezes. This owner's video shows that the whistling sounds are still present but less loud, according to the owner. My diagnosis of the cause in this case was traumatic injury to the lungs, likely due to the mounting and dismounting of the two guinea pigs. I based this finding on pain being felt on the side of the chest during palpation of the chest wall. Also the X-rays. The "fluid" in the lungs were likely "bleeding or inflammation" "No mounting by the male guinea pig," the owner said. "In fact this female, although 800 g in weight was proactive in trying to mount the male who is over 1 kg!" As the female guinea pig still had excellent appetite and the whistling sounds were softer, the guinea pig would be observed and to continue with the given oral antibiotic for 10 days in total to prevent lung infections.
