ADVICES FOR YOUNG PET OWNERS
Many pet owners WhatsApp blurry
photos of their pet for telehealth consultations with me.
Sharp
images are very important. Focus on the relevant areas as in this
example of the statue of Bruce Lee in Hong Kong, taken on 26 Feb
2023.

25 - 27 Feb 2023. Hong Kong to attend Christie's wedding.
23 Feb 2023
Friday. Morning 7.30 am GRAB to airport. SIA plane photos. Premium Economy Seast. "No branded coffee cup," leading steward with red striped tie said to me. "Sustainability of profits. Save money. SATS also cater to other airlines. So, cannot be using branded SIA cups." The new stewardess had asked him to answer my question as she could not find any cup with SIA logo in the plane. In fact, this brand-less cup is just introduced.
Premium Economy Seat. Much more comfortable. Can hang your suit. See photo.
Afternoon walk along Tsim Sha Tsui. Strong sunlight.
Night photos of Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade. Junk with lights.
Sat 24 Feb 2023
Rosewood Hong Kong. Luxury hotel. No desk for computer work. In bathroom, I used the dressing table to do downloading of files to PC. Bathroom is large. Small white tub in middle. Shower room with two showers at both ends. So not cramped. Head shower from middle of tall ceiling. Marble black and white walls and mirrors. Sinks are stainless steel.
Given Room 3104. I asked for change as "4" is death in Cantonese and Dan was attending wedding.
Train from Tsim Sha Tsui station to Central Station, ate Japanese curry chicken rice at Yonindro.
Sun 25 Feb 2023
Maid and small girl excellent relationships. Girl takes her photo. Sits in pram. Volkswagon hot dog car.
Check out at 12 noon. I went to Hong Kong Station to take Airport Express. It has only one ticketing machine. The coin slot was jammed, so I could not insert the coins. The machine said "No change" but since it could not accept my $5.00 coin, it returned the $100 and two $10 notes. The fare was $115.
The customer service counter issued me the ticket. I missed one train owing to the faulty machine, but another arrived within 10 minutes.
26 Feb 2023. Sunday.
Early morning at 9 am. Many joggers
and people at present but not too many yet on this Sunday
morning.
Canon R5. I balanced my camera on my hand leaned
against a pillar to get the silhouette.
AV Mode. ISO 100. F/11.
24-105 mm lens. Focus on face near the nose.
Take multiple shots, various angles. No horse statues between his legs.

TUES 21 FEB 2023. WHATSAPP TO DR SING KONG YUEN
Hello I am an owner of a Guinea pig. I have been watching your channel on youtube for sometime. I needed to reach out to you because vet in our country is very backdated and not as promising. I need some help for my guinea pig baby.
He was a healthy adult, male, weight :930 grams. He was neutered on 18th February. The following day due to not getting the right antibiotics for him, there is a swelling on the surgery site. The swelling isn't coming down. My local vet is suspecting this is an abscess.
Due to shortage of antibiotics, he has prescribed Cefixime instead of Chloramphenicol. I have been giving my Guinea pig Cefixime and syringe feeding him Since yesterday. Please help me out. I am in dire need of help.
I am Dr Sing Kong Yuen. Please send video and images of the operation area in WhatsApp 9668-6468 or email to 99pups@gmail.com. It is difficult to help you based on text
Sir this is the pig. Please see this and let me know
[7:16 am, 21/02/2023] David Sing: Please send a video of GP standing and walking
[7:17 am, 21/02/2023] David Sing: Also his cage
[1:28 pm, 21/02/2023] +880 XXX: He doesn't have a cage. Instead we keep him in an open closure in a room.
[1:28 pm, 21/02/2023] +880 XXX: He usually sits under the shade of the table
[2:54 am, 22/02/2023] David Sing: Do you wish to ask me some matters about your guinea pig? If the swelling is not bothering the guinea pig (owing to meloxicam being a painkiller), and the pet is active and pooping, you may not need to go to the 2nd vet for two-stitch removal. It is difficult to diagnose on videos. Good luck.
THUR 23 FEB 2023. WHATSAPP TO DR SING KONG YUEN
[7:44 pm, 23/02/2023] +880 xxx: Dear sir. I am heartbroken to tell you this. My guinea pig has died. He was weak all of a sudden. I tried feeding him glucose but after an hour or so he died. Thankyou for you help. I will forever remember it. I am grateful.
[7:46 pm, 23/02/2023] David Sing: Thank you for feedback. Please accept my condolences
JULY 2016 (This video).
This video shows the shih tzua 30 minutes after the operation to remove the womb. The dog had a dirty reddish brown vaginal discharge a few days ago, suggestive of open pyometra. Evidence-based medicine was practised viz: 1) X-ray showed swollen uterine bodies. 2)Blood test of increased white cell count. A few hours later, the dog, given IV drips, had recovered from anaesthesia and went home on the same day. Follow up on the next day, the dog had recovered.
JAN 2015.
She came for vaccination. I advised spay as she had false pregnancy with milk. The owner believed she had "menopause" since no bleeding was seen for the past 3 years. He did not want any spay surgery as advised by me..
CONCLUSION. Spayed dogs when they are younger will have prevented
the stress and worries of the dog passing dirty brown vaginal
discharge.

Grandma Judy is a Nonya. Her Nonya colleage in NLB asked her to attend the Nonya Baba 25th anniversary in Malacca, 2011. I had a memorable time experiencing and understanding her culture.
On 21 Feb 2023, a lady G.P in Kebun Bahru Family Health Clinic designated as doctor for LPA certification by the government, said I must take tablets to control my high BP or I will get stroke. BP on first reading was 158/90, 2nd reading after 20 min was 150/90. My family GP. My own GP later checked. It was 150/80 and he said it was high but I could monitor it for one month by checking every morning when I wake up.
Preferably for my age at 72 years, it should be 140/80. If my reading was 180/100, I have to take medication.

Dr Sing's Travel Stories.Vietnam. A funicular train in Mt Fansipan - Sep 2022
A funicular train is that of a railway on a mountainside that is operated by a cable balancing the ascending and descending cars. The pulley at the top of the mountain controls both cars so that the cars and passengers are counter balanced
in weight
A funicular railway transports people up extremely steep slopes.
Trains are pulled up steep grades with a cable. With this cable,
the steel wheels of the train don’t need to have traction unlike
ordinary trains, but can be used primarily to guide the train
along the tracks.
The funicular railway counterbalances two train cars on the
same track by using the weight of one to help pull the other
up the mountain. The Incline has two cars that ride on the
same single mile-long track. When the cars come close together,
the track splits into two as a “passing loop” for both cars to pass
one another. This single track, passing loop system, is used in
funicular railways across the world.
What is the difference between a funicular and a cable car?
A cable car differs from a funicular system in that its cars are not
permanently attached to the cable and can stop independently,
whereas a funicular has cars that are permanently attached to
the propulsion cable, which is itself stopped and started.
Video shows one funicular car with tourists going downhill
of the peak of Mt Fansipan in Vietnam in Sep 2022.
My fellow traveller, Mandy, took this video.

Passion flower (Passiflora incarnata) is a climbing vine with white and purple flowers. The chemicals in passion flower have calming effects.
Passion
flowers are rarely grown in gardens in Singapore. This was spotted in
a house garden in Lentor Loop.
