start with a pet store

Chapter 1013: The First Order of Trial Operation

"By the way, will Fang Guo come over tomorrow?" Xi Wenxin said.

"Well, it only takes two days for us to get used to it before the official opening..." Lu Jingxing nodded.

Just as the two men finished preparing for the operation, the two employees came in after changing their clothes.

This is a California king snake. I just checked and found that there are five eggs in its stomach. Five eggs are not a lot for a snake. Sometimes, a snake can have more than ten eggs.

Therefore, the main reason why this snake was stuck with eggs was because the eggs in its stomach were relatively large and the fetal position was not very correct.

Generally speaking, if the eggs are stuck, you just need to push them in the birth canal to squeeze the eggs out. However, the examination has just confirmed that the basic method is not feasible for Liuliu, and it can only be removed through cesarean section.

The snake is anesthetized using respiratory anesthesia, and then the surgical site is disinfected and sterilized.

After a series of operations, when Liuliu seemed to have no consciousness, Lu Jingxing began to perform surgery on it.

One of the employees watching asked, "Mr. Lu, can it breathe on its own?"

Lu Jingxing nodded: "They can breathe on their own. Unless the situation is too serious, they will not be put on ventilators."

After he said that, he glanced at the employee deliberately.

His hands did not stop moving while he spoke, and he quickly took out the first egg.

Like the other two employees, Xi Wenxin was also watching a snake caesarean section for the first time. Although he was less nervous than the other two employees, he was not much less nervous.

Lu Jingxing successfully took out the first egg, and then pushed the other eggs forward.

After the first egg was taken out, the rest went surprisingly smoothly and soon all five eggs were taken out.

After taking it out, Lu Jingxing immediately sutured the wound.

The movements were so smooth and flowing that the two employees were stunned.

For them, such a big operation seemed like a piece of cake for Lu Jingxing, and it was effortless.

Under Lu Jingxing's instruction, Xi Wenxin put the five eggs in a special box for snake babies: "You can give this to the owner first, I'll just wait here for it to wake up." Lu Jingxing said to Xi Wenxin.

"Mr. Lu, let me go..." The employee who just spoke stretched out his hand, ready to take the box from Xi Wenxin.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay, you two can go out together, there is nothing wrong here, tell the master that we will be out soon. The operation was successful..."

"Okay..." The two of them took the box with a smile and walked out carefully.

"They seem to be classmates. One is called Su Renwen, and the other is called Shen Yizhen..." Xi Wenxin saw that Lu Jingxing had a good impression of them, so he took the initiative to speak.

"You can train him. This place is not like Long'an. Anyway, you will be the main person in the future. You can promote those who can help and are flexible. I am not responsible for this." Lu Jingxing said.

"I know this too. I'll decide based on the circumstances." Xi Wenxin nodded.

"You have managed a team before, so this is a piece of cake for you...but why do I always feel like you seem a little too nervous?" Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"You have to be nervous. This little life is in my hands. If I had your skills, I would definitely be able to remain calm, just like this snake. If you were not here, I wouldn't dare to take it. I have read some books on the subject, but that's just talk. It's completely different from real practice." Xi Wenxin frowned. When he thought that Lu Jingxing would be back in a few days, he seemed to have lost his backbone.

"This is originally a minor operation, it will be fine, you can rest assured. Moreover, in case there is any uncertainty, I can provide remote guidance. If it is more difficult, I can come over quickly, so don't worry, it will be no problem." Lu Jingxing knew this in his mind. Although he performed quite a few operations every day in Long'an, up to now, there were not many operations that he had to perform. This is also the reason why he can come out for so many days without being affected there.

As the two were talking, Liuliu on the operating table woke up. The little guy wasn't fully awake yet. He raised his head and looked around, shaking his head a little, and even stretched his head out, just like Ba Mao and the others usually asking for a pat. He was so adorable.

"Wake up, wake up..." Xi Wenxin was leaning on the table. He was startled when he saw Liuliu raising his head, but he was immediately amused by its cute look.

"Let's go, it hasn't seen its own eggs yet..." Lu Jingxing smiled and put Liuliu into the box, then walked out of the operating room holding the box.

Su Renwen and Shen Yizheng had already shown the egg babies to the owners, but the two owners were still waiting outside the operating room.

For them, it is good that the egg baby is intact, but the most important thing is Liuliu. After all, they raised him, and they don’t have any feelings for the egg baby yet.

So, when they heard the door open, several people walked towards it.

Lu Jingxing handed the box to the owner: "Liuliu has woken up. You can put the eggs with it later and let it hatch when you go back. You should know the precautions for hatching, right?"

The hostess took the box with both hands and nodded: "I know, we have consulted with a specialist. We originally prepared a delivery room and a baby room at home, but we didn't expect a difficult birth. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome..." Lu Jingxing took the egg box from the male host: "This is the first egg. It's mainly because of the difficult birth caused by it. I tried my best, but its condition is not very optimistic. So, it may not be able to hatch. I think the other four should be fine."

"Okay, okay, thank you very much. We have also asked a lot of people. In this case, if four can really hatch, it will be quite good." The male host looked grateful.

"It should be fine if you take good care of it." Lu Jingxing nodded again.

“Okay, can we take them home directly? By the way, we haven’t paid the fee yet…” the hostess said quickly.

"Haha, this is easy. Go to the front desk to pay. We won't officially open for business for a few days. You can also apply for a membership card. It's more affordable now." Xi Wenxin took over the topic and smiled as he led the two to the front desk.

Ji Ling was standing at the front desk with a girl. When she saw a few people coming out, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Just say it according to our training..." Ji Ling winked at the girl at the front desk.

The girl understood: "Hello, just pay the fee here."

The girl at the front desk calmly typed out the list from the computer and handed it to the hostess: "The total is 800 yuan, for the surgery, for the checkup..."

"It's a bit high, but it's okay. OK, I'll scan it for you. By the way, you just said that you can get a card by recharging, right? If you recharge, can it be used by any pet at home?" the hostess asked. "Yes, we are having an opening event now. The minimum recharge is 500 yuan, and the actual amount is 550 yuan. Fine washing is 95% off, and recharging 1,000 yuan..." The girl took out the store's recharge activity list and introduced it to the hostess in detail.

Finally, the two discussed and recharged two thousand yuan, got a 15% discount, and also got two days of pet boarding for free. The two left satisfied.

The grand opening is a great success and everyone is a little excited.

Xi Wenxin came to Lu Jingxing's office and told him what happened just now. He couldn't hide the happiness on his face at all: "It looks like business will be good."

"Don't worry, this is a good location, and there are indeed no large pet stores nearby, so you'll be fine." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

The two were talking about the next few things when Ji Ling knocked on the door and walked in: "Brother Lu, a rescuer brought in a blue cat. I arranged for it to be taken to the first treatment room."

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay, let's go and take a look."

Xi Wenxin also followed him to the treatment room.

Seeing the two people coming in, the person who came with the cat was a girl who looked like a junior high school student. She immediately stood up, tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "Hello, doctor."

Lu Jingxing smiled and greeted him: "Hello, please sit down, what's the situation?"

"It's like this. I saw it in the park. It was caught in a trap. I called the fire department and they helped to remove the trap. It must have been trapped for several days. The fireman said it must have been trapped for at least three or four days. They asked me to bring it here to have a look..."

Lu Jingxing nodded after listening to him. The little guy was probably too hungry, and was also very scared after so many days. He just sat on the table, looking at the girl who rescued him cautiously.

"Let me take a look first..." Lu Jingxing first touched the little guy's head and back, asking it to relax as much as possible. Then he took a can of food from the shelf next to it, opened it and placed it in front of the little guy.

The little guy hesitated for a second and then started eating.

It had been hungry for too long. Although the little girl had just bought it some sausage, it immediately started to gobble up the canned food.

While it was eating happily, Lu Jingxing picked up its injured front paw.

Lu Jingxing frowned more and more as he looked at it, and finally shook his head: "Its condition, from my preliminary opinion, is very serious. Its forelimbs are completely necrotic and filled with pus. It can only be amputated."

"Ah..." The girl didn't expect it to be so serious: "Amputation?" She couldn't accept it.

However, Lu Jingxing was certain in his heart that the little girl's forelimb could not be saved and had to be amputated. Although he knew that the girl was unwilling to accept this fact, he still nodded affirmatively: "Yes, amputation is the only way."

"But I don't have the money to pay for its surgery. I also want to save it, but my parents both work odd jobs and don't have any extra money to give me. Otherwise, I might as well let it go..." The girl's voice became softer and softer, and she lowered her head, tears falling from her eyes.

"Well, don't cry first, let's think of a solution together..." Seeing the little girl crying, Xi Wenxin quickly tore off two tissues and handed them to her.

The girl whispered thank you and took the tissue: "I'm sorry."

"It's okay. We have a stray animal rescue fund. Since it's a stray cat, just leave it to us." Lu Jingxing didn't make things difficult for the girl. He could tell at a glance whether it was a stray cat or not.

In reality, there are indeed people who come to them for free help in the name of rescuing stray cats or dogs, but that is in Long'an, and under normal circumstances, Lu Jingxing can recognize them.

This is in Gangcheng, and the store hasn't officially opened yet. It's impossible for this little girl to fake something like this. In this situation, he can't just ignore the life or death of this little guy. After all, the purpose of opening a pet hospital now is to rescue more small animals in need.

"Is it really possible?" The girl looked up and asked in surprise.

"Sure, you just need to sign an agreement to prove that it is indeed a stray cat..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

They also took this into consideration when decorating the house, and set aside a room in the backyard specifically for adopting stray cats and dogs. Although it's not big, it's fine if the number of cats and dogs is small and the duration is not long.

As for what to do if the situation develops further in the future, this is exactly what Lu Jingxing and Xi Wenxin have been discussing these two days.

Originally, Xi Wenxin was still thinking that since he couldn't arrange a professional rescue team, there shouldn't be many stray animals to adopt, or maybe even none. But he didn't expect that a little stray animal would come today, just after the store opened and before it officially opened. It seems that he has to speed up the process of finding a place that specializes in taking in stray animals as Lu Jingxing said.

"Okay, no problem. I'm sure it's a stray cat, because I asked the sweepers in the park, and they said they saw it in the park a long time ago. I haven't seen it in the past few days, and I thought it ran away. No one thought it was trapped..." the girl said anxiously.

"Okay, in that case, then hand it over to us. Lao Xi, you take her to sign, and I will examine it right away and prepare for the operation." Lu Jingxing said.

"You guys go get treatment, I'll take her to sign..." Ji Ling stood at the door without knowing when.

"Okay..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

Ji Ling took the girl away.

Lu Jingxing handed the little guy to Xi Wenxin: "You will perform the first operation..." he said with a smile.

"Should I perform the amputation surgery?" Xi Wenxin asked uncertainly.

"Hmm? Any problem?" Lu Jingxing looked at him.

"Well, no problem..." Xi Wenxin encouraged himself.

He had also done it with Xiao Liu in Long'an. Although he was not the main surgeon at that time, he had practiced countless times afterwards and felt that he should have no problem.

"Will you come with us?" However, he still felt a little guilty.

"Haha, I will definitely come along. Let's go and get the check-up first and see the results..." Lu Jingxing laughed.

The little fellow had licked the entire can clean, even the lid.

When several people were discussing it, it paused in the middle. It seemed to understand what they said and did not act naughty from beginning to end. It did not continue to eat the canned food until several people decided on the surgical plan.
