Christmas Day.
I was surprised to see a young lady with a ragamuffin that had diarrhoea for the past 2 days.
Abdominal palpation showed that the cat had abdominal pain. It was Christmas Eve yesterday and the lady had bought chicken to celebrate. Locals rarely eat turkey for this occasion.
The cat had upturned the garbage bin and ate some chicken liver or gizzard. "No chicken bones," the lady said.
"She also sat in a corner by himself," the young lady showed me the mobile phone image of the cat in an unsual position with the back laid on the corner of the wall and the belly upwards yesterday. "Was she in pain?"
"Possibly, " said. "Did she hide in a corner or under the table or bed?" I asked.
"Yes," she replied.
The cat was given the IV drip and pain-killers and one day of in-patient observation.

3217. Toxic relationships are hard to severe
Dec 20, 2017
It is easy for me to advise a friend to severe toxic relationships.
The divorcee and single mother may wish to revive the toxic relationship although the man had told her bluntly and honestly that he preferred the other woman and has children by her. She wanted a husband as she was past 45. She met this man in an online dating website.
Yet this man still kept messaging her after telling her she was not his priority in a long-term relationship. He had someone and had teenaged children to take care.
I advised letting go. She did not block his messages. Then she phoned him. He did not pick up the phone but texted to her that he is with the other woman. This text finally convinced her that there was no point in continuing this toxic relationship anymore.
I sent her the image below and hope she would let go.

3216. The poodle swallowed half a box of Difflam throat lozenges
Dec 18, 2017
"My dog just could not get up when called," the lady was worried that her dog was sick as he had loose stools after being fed a dog bone treat. "He just would not move yesterday. But now, at your clinic, he is active."
"He could have eaten other things like human medication," I asked.
"Yes, yes, he had swallowed half a box of Difflam lozenges which we use to relieve our sore throats," she said.
Difflam contains benzydamine hydrochloride. It has an anaesthetic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect in people. However, in dogs, it is a sedative and that explained why the dog could not get up when called.
Blood test showed slight liver impairment in that the ALT enzymes were higher than normal. The dog had IV drip and was OK the next day. The liver should recover.

3215. A 17-year-old cat is still much loved by this man
Dec 19, 2017
"My cat had hunted 5 rats," the gentleman in his 50s came to buy eye drops. "Now he is blind, but I can see his pupils". I asked him to take some images of the eye for me to see tomorrow.
"Stray cats are getting extinct," I told him.
"In my 3 blocks in Toa Payoh, there are only 2 cats out of 25 left," he said."The government had got rid of them and the rats are now increasing in numbers, as in the Bukit Batok hill. 5 pest control firms were paid $2 million to get rid of the rat nests in Bukit Batok!"
