Day 3 in zoo...

From 9-12+, i simply stone inside the office and even dozed off for dunno how many times haha.. too tired + boring when doing research and reading books on behaviour haha... but once its lunch time, its fun~ haha...

After lunch i went to the surgical room and helped Dr Sonja in restraining the snake for operation cuz the snake have stomatitis (should spell in this way ba haha)

And i also got to join Dr Sonja for doing routine checkup at different places... went to the tapirs there and did blood test to check for babesia cuz that tapir is losing weight over unknown reason...

Then got to go to primate holding area, which is the place i have to go very often in future for my major project... went with dr anwar and that guy damn funny la.. super stress lor him... think its bcuz he is a new vet here... before he drive me there, he asked me to make my confessions lolllll... cuz he is not confident in driving... and yes! he stalled alot of times haha... super cute la him lol...

Then when we come back, we proceed to the feed preparation room and do all the checkup for all the phytons caught from outside.. and omg there are alot... all in different sizes... we did sexing of the snake (a tube is inserted to the hole, if not wrong is the site for urinating and shitting... if there is obstruction that prevent the tube in, its a female snake... if there are allowance to let the tube in, its a male snake cuz there is a penis holding sac if not wrong), tubing of the snake (which is gavaging la cuz they are dehydrated), restraining for injections... and these snakes are damn strong even after sedated..

One of the phytons swallowed a bird from the zoo... so Dr Sonja squeezed out his faeces and i do the checking of the faeces for the bird ring, so as to identify which bird kanna swallowed... the whole process is damn funny la haha... i am simply shredding the faeces into TINY pieces and just to look for the tiny ring... its smelly of cuz and sonja said if i am able to find it, she will treat me coffee lolllll.. in the end i still cant find any haha..

While doing the shredding of faeces, one of the snake pee and shitted on sarah... damn funny lol... it happened alot of time while we restrain la, but din expect it to do it on sarah haha...


Those snakes that the police caught are mostly healthy and beautiful, however, some of those that were caught are injured and we have no choice but to put it to sleep... sonja injected pentobarbital into the brain of the snake and the turn the needle around in the brain to 'squash' it... and the we can see how to verify snake is dead... its kind of sad but we have no choice... all thanks to the police... they wanto send in bulk for what they have caught... but din they realise that if there is sick animals and they cant treat it, please seek for veterinary attention la... dont wait for the time to send all the animals and by then the animal is already cannot make it... get ur pea brain thinking please...

Got my results today but din do well... overall my gpa increased la but still not up to what i need haha... and as usual, gpa was counted wrongly... i need to email dr chan liao... and please she needs to take action asap lor... i am happy that my bpharm got B+ haha... din expect that... and last n csas i got B, which i longed for it haha... saprn i din manage to get A, so its pretty sad la... but worst thing is AHDis... i got a B! faints... from a A grade dropped to B... all thanks to the last term test and practical test... super sad la... but no choice... gotta work hard for mp liao...

Here are the pics i took today...

Day 2 of attachment...

Today is the 2nd day of my attachment.. din do much constructive stuffs but its still very fun haha... report at 10am and meet Dr Oh Soon Hock (i believe vet students should noe who is him) and discuss about my project with him... wow he talk damn fast haha.. and he is also a very frenly guy haha... and my project, finally, i got more details haha... its super interesting lol...

We went to the medicine room and dr oh tell me what dewormer he is using for those langurs, and he is damn funny! guess what he did to me? he ask me to put my finger into the bottle of powder levamisole, and tap the powder and then place it on my tongue... initially i tot he is joking cuz he is smiling when asking me to do that, then he keep on asking me to put it and taste haha... and i did what he told... and that DAMN THING IS DAMN BITTER! lolll... i told him straight away the medicine is damn bitter and he laughed and say to me thats why the animal wont wanto take the medicine... that powder are to be given via oral route, and how to expect an animal to take when the medicine taste so sucky... this is what he told me, and he said he tasted all the medicine in the room so to understand whether the animal will wanto take the medicine anot... i seriously stunt when he said that to me, and i really pei fu what he is doing as a vet...


Went to the reptile park cuz Dr Oh ask us to tag along as he is going to do acupunture for the komodo dragon who is suffering from some nervous disorder and arthritis, so it cannot control its movement and cant move the limbs also... herbal medicine were give together with acupunture therapy and the creature is recovering fast haha... took a few pictures and here it goes...








I realised that dr oh will explain to the visitors on what's going on during the treatment etc... and i din expect him to do that haha... he is really a nice guy haha...

Today there are some pony being put down... its damn sad la... just because they are retired and we have to put down them... its so cruel and disrespect to the animals lor... all of the vet team is so pissed, but we have no choice as we just act according to what is told by the big people... haiz... worst thing is we cant burrow them but to cut them into pieces and burn, like a garbage as what some of them said... thats so sad...

Had canadian pizza as lunch today.. they ordered from outside and all of the vet team sit down and eat because they say every tuesday the vet team will eat together haha... crapped along as well... during the afternoon they bought polar puffs and cakes, if i am not wrong there is durian puffs, but i din eat cuz pai seh la hahaha...

The last 2 hours of the day i simply stone it off haha... took a short nap and then start to think about how to plan my major project cuz dr oh wants the proposal and i dun wanna disappoint him and wanto give him a good one... shall do more research le...

Either tomorrow or thursday i am getting result le... so anticipate but scare haha...

Great day in zoo...

Day 1 of attachment... one word to describe, and thats FUN!

Initially me and sarah really stone in the library after we were introduced around the vet hospital... but the real fun begins during lunch haha...

Feza, the lab technician, had her ex-boyfren harassing her and keep calling her hp, and all the others helped her by saying this is not her hp haha... and its damn funny haha... how the conversation sounds like is super hilarious hahaha... especially the conservatist/research asst Dr lucia haha... she talk sense to that guy, and when the call ended, FUCKING FREAK came out from her mouth haha... so damn funny and all of us burst into laughers lolll... and all these happened during the meal break, which took us about 2 hours until we find something else to do hahahah... and they can smoke there, and lucia took a puff or 2 from meria hahah... so damn zai la they all lol...

The environment is fun to work with so far, and i hope this will continue haha... we went to walk around the zoo like tourist when we have to wait for dr serena oh... when we come back from our strolling then serious business starts haha.. lab test! my favourite haha... here is a list of things i did...

- Packed cell volume
- Blood smears
- Unopette system (for white blood cell count)
- All of the above are for silver leaf eating langurs
- Serum biochemistry for elephants and silver leaf eating langurs
- Fecal smears and fecal floation test for bearded dragons
- Found pinworm eggs and coccidia under the microscope
- Observe the surgery for the monitor lizard whereby dr serena extract the dead tissues at the wound there
- Realised that the monitor lizard will stop its breathing when it is anaesthesized, so oxygen have to be flushed in using the reservoir bag at 2 minutes interval

The journey from my house to there takes me an hour only haha.. its super fast... and tml i will have to report at 10am, so i can catch somemore sleep haha...

Working hours: 9-630pm

Lunch provided, but as what they say, we will get sicked of it soon lolll...
