WhatsApp to Toa Payoh Vets.
Hi, is this TPY vet? My hamster is not walking stably, but still
eating, drinking, alert and doesn’t seem to be in pain. Is there
anything that can be done for him if I bring him down? He’s 2Y1M
old.
Thank you ?ﾟﾏﾼ
Hamster needs to be examined by the vet. Please phone 6254
3326 for appointment.

1. From "inco-ordination" complaint from VET 1, it sounded serious, like internal injuries and fractures.
2. VET 2.
Physical examination
3. Need to use additional testings
Lab tests
X-rays
4. Days passed by. Not eating. X-rays showed gas, empty stomach and intestines.
X-rays poor quality.
5. Maid said no fall or traumatic injuries. But not possible to take her word for it. Serious pain.
6. Do another physical examination after pain-killer given for past 2 days. Videoed. Left hip area very painful.
7. Take proper X-rays. Problem seen at left pelvic bone (arrows).
8. This was the cause of "incoordination" and inability to walk normally.
PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Shoot traffic light trails.
www.digitalcameraworld.com
1. Use long exposure.
2. Safe location e.g. sanding next to a busy junction conrolled by traffic lights, a slip road or roundabout.
3. Slow shutter speed, tripod, cable release.
4. Shoot in Manual, can adjust shutter speed and aperture, check histogram for each exposure.
Try 10 seconds as starting point.
Narrow aperture to get starburst effects on street lights and increase the depth of field for sharpness.
5. Use MANUAL FOCUS because autofocus will struggle in low light and get distracted. Focus on something significant in the background: zoom in with Live View to check sharpness.
6. SET YOUR ISO. Keep ISO LOW to reduce noise. turn on LONG EXPOSURE NOISE REDUCTION in menu.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Single point AF on the red-whiskered
bulbul's eye. Use AV Mode.
Take more than 3 shots. TV Mode will
be better as you will get more sharp images.

VET CASE STUDY
On 2 May 2024, the young man owner of the urine-scalded hamster WhatsApp me. The message was as follows:
History:
[11:22, 02/05/2024] +65 8770 0922: Hi, do
you treat hamsters?
[11:23, 02/05/2024] David Sing: Yes.

Sing: Please phone 62543326 for appointment
[11:24, 02/05/2024]
+65 XXX: it has been a few weeks and he is quite skinny
now...
[11:24, 02/05/2024] +65 XXX: ok thanks

The owner took the hamster home on Day 2 of in-patient. The
hamster had two upper front teeth overgrown backwards and upwards
into the hard palate. The teeth were trimmed. I followed up by
WhatsApp. The owner said the hamster was doing well.
25
FEB 2024.
However, the busy owner did not bathe or clean the
hamster's backside for the next few days. Video was given on 25 Feb
2024 to me. It showed the backside fur was still damp. The hamster
had stopped eating again.
I WhatApp whether he fed sunflower
seeds. The answer was No. He did not want to eat it.”
The
hamster did not want to eat the sunflower's seed , hence its teeth
were said to be overgrown according to the owner. The owner could
not send any images of the teeth. I advised veterinary review. He
would wait and
see.

PHOTOGRAPHY TULIPS: Use AV mainly. Manual with tripod is better.
Focus at 1/3 from bottom of screen and use f/16 if you want
overall image sharpness, so that you can see the tulips sharp in the
background.

WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY USING SMARTPHONES
A sharp image refers to the eye being focused and sharp.
For the smartphone:
Focus on the head,
Not just point and shoot fast.
Steady your hands.
Take at least 3 shots if not more.
Same principles apply to pets.
