1448. White deposits on the dorsal cornea of a 5-year-old rabbit.
"For the past week, the rabbit has a white tissue covering his eye," the young man said. The 3rd eyelid covers up one corner of the eye permanently.
Under sedation, I was surprised to see thick white deposits on the 1 to 3 o'clock surface of the cornea edge. So the 3rd eyelid shoots up to protect the eye.
Electro-excision will be needed to remove the plaque but the owner is not in favour of it.

1446. Sunday's interesting case. A Ragoll's eye tears for 3 days.
I hope that Intern Terrance who is in National Service and works only on Sundays learns much about this case and produce a video. Train and teach are better done by making videos and writing case reports rather than watching.
1445. Saturday's interesting case - Jun 1, 2013
On a bright sunny morning of Saturday Jun 1, 2013, I was on duty in the morning. I answered a phone call from a lady making an appointment for her dog vaccination. Distemper viral infections have affected some dogs recently and there is an interest in dog vaccinations from some owners who might have read newspapers.
"Which vet you want to consult?" I asked. "There are 3 vets."
"The one who said he would be writing a book."
That was 6 years ago. I met the family of parents and the pre-teen daughter, sun-tanned and wearing black-rimmed glasses and being taller than her slim mum.
The son was very good at illustrations and that was why I was telling her I would be writing a book and needed an illustrator.
I vaccinated the 8-year-old Miniature Schnauzer. A gentle dog. Salt and pepper.
"Her breath is smelly," I showed the thick tartar enveloping the dog's teeth. She also has milk in her breast (false pregnancy) and a small breast nodule of 5 mm across and I asked the mum to feel it.
It was just a vaccination but health problems had been presented. Next week, there will be dental work after 7 days of oral antibiotics. Spaying and removal of the breast tumour have been advised and it is up to the owner.
"I want to breed her as she has a good temperament," the mum said. "But the few male dogs available are rather aggressive."
"You should have bred her before she is 6 years old," I said. "That time, she is in her prime."
The mum now studies a diploma in cooking as the children are now grown up as teenagers. She showed me her handphone of the boy and the girl in primary school when I saw them 6 years ago. Time has flown by. The father came back after going around the industrial park to find a glass window maker. It is nice to meet up after 6 years.

Dear Dr Sing Kong
Yuen,
The next point is he had never told us to take x-ray or ultrasound and he just decided what he thought. After shock without giving treatment he kept on pressing out the intestine and taking out the stone from her anus. When nothing came out, he told us that it will come out with her poops as he put suppositories. Anyway, there is a lot left for me to say about his lack of his treatments.
I just expect that he need to apologize for his fault but instead of that his wife called us from Singapore and said your clinic and their clinic in Yangon are linked officially to do business.
So, I am just asking you whether it is right or they are just using your name as a stepping stone? If they are correct what is their job and responsibilities in your Singapore clinic? Are they doing as vet at your clinic or just helpers? From my experience Singapore Medical Society is really strict for foreigners to accept as professionals easily.
Sorry for your inconvenience. I hope that you can feel my lost. I am waiting for your reply.
Thank you
Owner of 7 years Old Pug

In reply to your query, I have known Dr XXX for over 20
years as a good friend. During these years he was in Singapore, he has
worked for other Singapore vets with employment pass approved by the
Singapore Government.
I have not employed him at Toa Payoh Vets in all the years he was
working in Singapore. We are friends in the sense that he was never my
employee and so he has no obligations to me for his salary. When he
starts a new practice in Yangon, I am most happy for him and offer him
free advices on how to manage the practice based on my around 50 years
of experiences as a veterinarian in practice.
Toa Payoh Vets is a practice started by me in 1980 and Dr XXX has no
shares or interest in my practice..
I have no shares in his practice nor am I employed by his practice. I
give free advices to him on veterinary matters whenever my advices are
needed as I wish to see him successful in his new practice.
This is a time of great sadness for you. Please accept my condolences
again and let me know if I may be of any help.
