When the tumour was small, the vet did not want to perform surgery
due to high anaesthetic risk of heart failure in this heart diseased
dog. Tumour grows bigger and gets infected. Dog is feverish. What to
do? |
1179.
This dog was caged at the Surgery. Overnight, she had this red eye
and bleeding ear tip bleeding on her left side. At 5 pm, a
long chew rope was in her anus (see Pic 1166 & 1167). Dog rubbed her
left eye violently to relieve her intense spasmodic pain in
descending colon (left side of dog) where the chew rope was
passing out on the way to the rectum and anus. |

Mar 11, 2008. Tuesday. 5 pm. Went home. Active. Advised hand feeding
of nutritious food in small amounts every 2 hour & good care. No
scavenging. Family members are very happy and grateful. |

Dog seems to have good chance of survival. However, she will not eat
by herself. Not dehydrated. |

Mar 10, 2008. Monday. Surgery. Wakes up fast when only gas
anaesthesia is used. Use least % maintenance gas (to effect). Very
fast surgery to minimise risk of death on the operating table. |
1175.
Mar 10, 2008. Monday. Dog rehydrated after 24 hours. Sausage lump
palpated. Mild lower abdominal pain. Owner did not want X-rays/blood
test. All family members informed and met at 1 p.m. prior to surgery
in case the dog dies on the operating table. |
 |

|
1174.
Mar 9, 2008. Sunday. Skin was not supple before rehydration with
fluids. Tongue cyanotic. Immediate surgery would be high risk as the
dog will die. But the womb may perforate and release pus killing the
dog. But the dog will likely die on the operating table. Family will
be most unhappy. |
1173.
Mar 8. 2008. Saturday. Dog could not open eyes at 10 pm at
all. Rushed to a vet. Past 2 days, sticky pus from vagina. Best to
consult the vet during office hours to save on veterinary costs. |

Hamster thin and dehydrated as everted pouch interfered with eating
and lower incisor teeth overgrew. After snipping pouch, hamster
eats. Missing upper incisor teeth? Tongue seen. Hamster now active. |
1163.
Hamster cheek pouch stores seeds. Some parts got trapped by the
lower incisor teeth and pouch everted. Looked like a "black tongue". |
|
|
 |
|
|
1162.
Mum located Toa Payoh Vets via internet, printed out the page for
the boy and maid to take his hamster to the vet. Looked like tongue
but the side of the right cheek pouch is impaled onto the lower
incisor teeth. So, pouch could not be retracted. |
