HOW TO GIVE ORAL MEDICATION TO A YOUNG RED-EARED SLIDER?

A red-eared slider has swollen eyelids. He will not open his mouth to drink his medicine.

Case study:  On 12 Nov 2021, a young red-eared slider had swollen eyes for 3 days. The eyelids were infected and itchy. He would not take the oral medication.

As he has appetite, I advised spread it on pellets. He ate the pellets. Within 3 days, his eyelids shrink to normal size and he can see clearly. The owner had consulted Toa Payoh Vets early.

If there is delay in seeking veterinary help, the slider will have been anorexic (meaning he has no appetite), it is best to treat him as an in-patient at Toa Payoh Vets as the nurse is trained to feed him orally.

BEFORE TREATMENT

 

AFTER TREATMENT 

CONTINUE NUTRIPET + CALCIUM Supplement at home for 14 days once daily. Supplement 

is smeared onto the pellet via a tooth pick and thrown into the water ensuring that the slider eats it. 

ADVICES FROM TOA PAYOH VETS:

The living environment must be suitable for your red-eared slider.

1.  Hygiene. Tank water, filters and accessories must be clean

2.  A platform for basking and to be dry. Not lying in the water 24/7. Warm water and UVB light if possible. 

3.  Feed a variety of food. Not only the pellets. Include cooked prawn and chicken meat, shrimps, meal worms and vegetables. Sunshine and Calcium supplementation to prevent soft shells and shell rot.

4.  Feed separately in a different tank if practical.

5. SHELL SCRATCHES due to soft shell and mounting by the other sliders inside the small tank.  Separate from other adult sliders if there is bullying and mounting causing shell scratches and wounds. Give each adult slider his own spacious tank. 

CONCLUSION. Early vet treatment within 3 days of eyelids being swollen is advised.

Thur 18 Nov 2021.

Owner sent the video with grateful thanks as his beloved cat is back to normal after 3 veterinary treatments for difficulty in peeing by 2 vets. The follow up post-op management and communication between vet and owner is very important.  Sadly, most owners unlike this one, do not communicate post-op situations till another recurrence.

 4039. LinkedIn Post No. 5    Usefulness of digital imaging skills in real estate

LINKED IN Post 5. 6 Nov 2021: Advices for young people - Advertising real estate in your LinkedIn Page.  

I am Dr Sing Kong Yuen, 71 years old semi-retired veterinarian and realtor from Singapore. The Covid-19 pandemic has adversely affected job security and has caused business failures and losses. In this uncertain future, I write this post in LinkedIn to advise YOUNG people to create rather than consume e.g. create products rather than watch movies during their free time.

• Today, I will illustrate using LinkedIn to market real estate globally. First of all, I will need to create market awareness of the property for rent to LinkedIn viewers.

• I need to create good images and videos of the property to post them on my LinkedIn page.  LinkedIn requires a 2000 px by 600 px banner (see above), which will attract more viewers than no banner. Outsourcing will cost me a few hundred dollars as Singapore is not a cheap country to do business. 

• As I have had acquired digital imaging skills, I can create a reasonably good banner and video, which are posted in the blog

https://2010vets.blogspot.com/2021/11/4039-linkedin-post-no-5-usefulness-of.html

In conclusion, if you subscribe to LinkedIn, you need to pay monthly fees. Why not create the banner and use LinkedIn which is basically a sales medium to create market awareness of my products and services?

I hope this fifth post will motivate one of the young people to create, not consume. Please email me at 99pups@gmail.com or tel +65 9668-6468, if you wish to make customised luxury leather face masks to protect against Covid-19 viral transmission for your company or to joint-venture/rent this advertised commercial shop space in Singapore as a veterinary clinic/pet shop and grooming.

Good luck.

If you’re thinking about buying your first Patek Philippe, we’re glad you stopped to read this before you did.

In the world of luxury watches there are countless brands that get thrown in our faces on a daily basis, such as Omega, Breitling and Rolex.

These three brands together spend an estimated US$150 million per year on advertising to ensure that it is known by everyone that they are the forefront of luxury.

However, there is one brand that spends a small fraction of that amount and yet is still known to produce some of the world’s highest quality watches.

The Swiss brand’s watches, where entry level models cost from US$19,000, often sell for twice as much second-hand and waiting lists can be up to five years, writes David Farkas

Nautilus

Iconic in its rounded octagonal bezel, the case with an ingenious porthole construction, and its horizontally embossed dial, the Nautilus has epitomized the elegant sports watch since 1976. The collection accompanies the most active lifestyles with incomparable class.

4035. LINKED IN POST NO. 3: Practice Makes Perfect - Photographing neighbourhood wildlife for history- red dragonfly, grasshopper glossy legs

LINKED IN Post 3. 23 Oct 2021: Advices for young people - Practice Makes Perfect - Photographing and documenting your neighbourhood wildlife for the younger generation.

I am Dr Sing Kong Yuen, 71 years old semi-retired veterinarian from Singapore. The Covid-19 pandemic has adversely affect job security and has caused business failures and losses. In this uncertain future, I write this post in LinkedIn to advise YOUNG people to create things rather than consume by spending hours watching soap operas online during their free time.

One way is to acquire digital imaging skills daily. Practice makes perfect. As an example, I show this image of the red dragonfly that used to be more than one during the April - Jun 2020 lockdowns when all construction and deforestation were suspended. On 21 October 2021, I saw only one during my trip to Yio Chu Kang Crescent open forest path, facing the Seletar Bus Depot. This path is over a 5-minute stroll. Yet only one red dragonfly is visible. This is due to regular plant and grass cutting and likely anti-mosquito fogging, drastically reducing the number of insects and plant food for the dragonflies. The use of LinkedIn is one way to showcase this photograph for sale. More importantly, it is to encourage the young people to acquire digital imaging skills through practice daily. Photographing a sharp image of the dragonfly with a 18-200 mm lens handholding is not easy. There must be no breeze and good sunlight. The image is sharp because this dragonfly posed patiently for me for more than a minute, instead of flying off. I was around 6 feet away and took about 25 images of various positions. Shutterstock accepted this image as stock photo.  

In conclusion, acquiring digital imaging skills as an amateur photographer will be very useful in your project or office work. Selling stock photos is secondary as there is "no demand" for red dragonflies, in my past 12 months on Shutterstock! Shutterstock pays me USD 10 cents image per download depending on the Buyer's plan. I hope this third post will motivate one of the young people to create, not consume. Please email me at 99pups@gmail.com or tel +65 9668-6468, if you wish to know more about my luxury leather face mask to protect against Covid-19 viral transmission. My instagram is @davidsing1. 

Good luck.

VIDEO OF YIO CHU KANG CRESCENT FOREST ON SUN 24 OCT 2021:

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

21 Nov 2021: Singapore Wildlife. A rare sighting of a grasshopper with glossy green legs, in Yio Chu Kang Cres forest. It posed for several minutes for me. Most grasshoppers seen by me over the last 3 years and 300 visits have dull green legs. They are now also rare due to habitat loss from deforestation.

4034. My Posts in Linked In. Post No. 1. passive income in stock photos

 Post 1. 20 Oct 2021: Advices for young people - create, not consume

I am Dr Sing Kong Yuen, 71 years old semi-retired veterinarian from Singapore. The Covid-19 pandemic has adversely affect job security and has caused business failures and losses. In this uncertain future, I write this post in LinkedIn to advise YOUNG people to create things rather than consume by spending hours watching soap operas online during their free time.

One way is to earn PASSIVE INCOME ONLINE - making and then selling stock photos.

Rather than preaching, I show what I did during the past 12 months of Covid-19 lockdowns and curbs. I submit photographs to www.shutterstock.com. I am amateur photographer, hence more than 80% of my photos have had been rejected as they were not up to standard! I am still doing more research on how to create best quality stock photos.

The above Oriental Common Mime butterfly image was accepted by Shutterstock. That is the FIRST step to display my creations to a global market, without me having to pay shutterstock any money via subscription or membership fee. How I took this image is shared on my blog: https://2010vets.blogspot.com/2021/10/4024-butterfly-in-yio-chu-kang-crescent.html

Presently, I sold 486 images for US$131.00. I get US$0.27 per image. Many readers, esp. accountants and high fliers will say this is not worth their time. I agree, but I am trying to motivate the average young person who does not earn high income or who cannot network a lot.

The low revenue is due to a start-up business. I have to stock good quality photos that the world, not just Singaporeans want. This will take time. I am acquiring useful digital imaging skills through being hands-on. These skills are useful for my veterinary case studies and family photography too.

In conclusion, there are different ways to earn passive income online. It will be hard work and very competitive - Shutterstock has more than 380 million images as of June 30, 2021. However, you will acquire skills like good writing and creating good graphic designs.

I hope this post will motivate one of the young people to create, not consume. Please email me if you wish to know more about Shutterstock. Good luck.
