4105. Singapore eagle sighting in Lentor Plain house

PHOTOGRAPHY TIP - PUT CAMERA ON THE CAR ROOF TOP

Sat 5 Mar 2022. 9AM. I went to my car parked outside the house gate. I prepared to drive away. Suddenly an eagle perched on the roof of opposite 3-storey house over 400 m away, for a minute or two. An unobstructed view in bright sunshine - a photographer's ideal scene.

I quickly took my camera out of the car. I placed my camera on the roof of my car to stabilise and focus on the eagle's ear using the 18 - 200mm lens, "P" Mode. After two minutes, the eagle flew towards the tall tree just opposite the front of our house, hidden in the leaves.      

I got sharp images as I was able to place the camera on the roof of my car. If I hand-held the camera, I would get blurry shots. This eagle is a rare sighting in Lentor Estate and sharp images of flying eagles are rarer if I use hand-held the camera (Canon EOS 90D).

4104. A hamster's left ear tumour doubled in size in 23 days

Thursday, 3 MAR 2022, DAY 1: Today, the young couple brought the 1.5-year-old male dwarf hamster in for consultation. "Now the whole ear must be amputated," I advised. "Very itchy and ulcerated. Very swollen," I said. "It is likely a malignant ear tumour as it grows so large in 23 days." "It is best not to operate on a swollen inflamed bleeding ear tumour till 3 days later", I explained that the hamster is in poor bodily condition, having lost weight to 50 g now and the ear tumour was badly infected. The base of the ear was swollen - possibly an abscess is forming." SURGERY scheduled on Day 4, provided the hamster is active, eating well and has put on 5 g bodyweight. Otherwise, it may die under anaesthesia as it is weak and sickly now.

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

Inpatient for 4 days at Toa Payoh Vets. The ear tumour has grown larger and has become infected. This video shows the tumour which will be removed by electrosurgery. MORE INFORMATION AT:

The quality of the upscaled image is said NOT to be of the high quality,

but I find this website easy to use and NOT giving you a watermark 

or limiting you to 3 free downloads per month etc.

very small original image. When I increased

the resolution and size using photoshop, 

the whole image is pixellated and blurry. Hence,
zyro.com did help a lot to enlarge it.(see above 2 images).  

4101. Video of SECOND OPINION FROM TOA PAYOH VETS. Geppo the guinea pig from Italy. Instagram.

 Extract of email to Dr Sing Kong Yuen, Toa Payoh Vets, Singapore on 25 Feb 2022

...but he (Geppo, the Peruvian Guinea Pig) always loses weight (for the past 2 months)we are at about 24% of the weight which was 1150 grams.

we are very discouraged. we are feeding him all day and we do not sleep

I apologize if I took the liberty of writing to you because we love guinea pigs but we don't understand why it doesn't transform food (Critical Care and supplements) into body mass.

Thank you if you can answer me, glad to have met you and to devote so much attention to these magical little animals.

A warm greeting
