Chapter 1031 Cauliflower
Lu Jingxing looked at the number again and confirmed that it was really Sun Chongwu. He didn't believe it because this was the first time he heard Sun Chongwu ask this.

It seems that the condition of the three German Shepherds is very serious, so serious that even Sun Chongwu, who is out there doing rescue work every day, is not sure whether they can be saved.

"Let me see..." There was no time for Lu Jingxing to think too much, so he turned on the video without hanging up the phone.

Someone in the video is talking to Sun Chongwu: "The owner doesn't live here anymore. They bought a house in the city and left these dogs here. Sometimes they only come back once every ten days or half a month, and they don't care whether the dogs are alive or dead. There were originally four dogs, this one is the mother, and the other two are babies. There were originally three babies, but one has died."

Then came Sun Chongwu's voice: "Brother Lu, look, they are only a few months old, but they already look like an old man. Look at their feet, they must be swollen, they are so big."

"We let them out of the cage. They were even more swollen in the cage before," said the person who introduced them.

Lu Jingxing watched the video with a frown on his brow.

The little guys are skinny and are already seven or eight months old. Normally, they are half-grown dogs, but the dogs in the video are not only skinny, but also staggering when they walk. They are probably just suffering from malnutrition. Although we don't know if they have other health problems, they should not be to the extent that they cannot be cured.

He returned to the phone: "Where are you now? If possible, bring this back first. We need to see if there is any disease. The main problem may be malnutrition. It should be okay to supplement it."

"I'm not actually asking about these ones. Although I know there are problems with these ones and they are very thin, their lives should not be in danger. You can take a look at the next video. It's mainly about that one..." Sun Chongwu said hesitantly.

"What's wrong with you? Isn't that one together with these ones?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Not the same one, it's another one, from the village, you can take a look..." Sun Chongwu said and hung up the phone.

Lu Jingxing then opened another video.

The video is a bit long.

Situ Fang also came over.

The video was taken in a village with mud everywhere. A black pastoral dog appeared in the camera and looked up at the camera.

Then the camera turned and the dog had passed by, giving a close-up of its butt.

"Ah? Is this a tumor? Such a big lump..." Situ Fang exclaimed after seeing it.

Lu Jingxing looked at the video closely and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not just a tumor. This tumor is more like a reproductive tumor, which is very likely to be TVT."

"TVT? Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor?" Situ Fang said immediately.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, look at the dog in the video, it should be almost the same."

"This is contagious. It's already so serious. Could other dogs in the village be infected as well?" Although Situ Fang's skills were not very good, he still had a solid knowledge of books.

Lu Jingxing called back and said, "Chongwu, we have to bring it back. You'd better go around the village to see if there are other dogs infected."

"Is this HIV?" Sun Chongwu asked, touching his nose.

"No, that's right, but it's not called HIV. HIV is contracted by humans. The one that dogs get is called TVT, which stands for canine sexually transmitted tumor..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"I was thinking, it looks like cauliflower. I'll go around the village later. Can this be cured?" Sun Chongwu asked.

Lu Jingxing nodded silently: "It can be cured, but it will be a bit troublesome. It can be removed surgically or chemotherapy. We will decide after it comes back for examination. Now you have to find a way to bring it back and see if it is contagious."

"Okay, fine. I'll bring those back as well." Sun Chongwu replied.

Lu Jingxing originally wanted to say that you'd better ask their original owners, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it. Sun Chongwu has rescued so many times, he doesn't need him to say more about this kind of question, he will know the answer.

Here, Sun Chongwu and his friends caught up with the black dog and chased it to a villager's house.

Seeing someone catch up with their dog, the villagers came out of their homes and asked, "What are you doing?"

Sun Chongwu went to greet him and said, "Hello, is that dog yours?"

The owner followed their gaze and shook his head: "No, it ran to the village in the past two days. We have fed it twice, and it comes every time it is time for dinner."

"There's a big bump on its butt, what is that?" a woman asked.

"That's a tumor, it needs to be removed..." Sun Chongwu said, "You mean it's a stray dog, right?"

The villagers nodded and said, "It should be a stray dog. Anyway, we have never seen one before. What do you do?"

Sun Chongwu took out his business card and handed it to the villager. “We are from a pet hospital in Long’an, specializing in treating stray animals. We came here this time because someone in your village told us that a family at the head of your village had several dogs that were dying, so we came to take a look. And then we happened to see it.”

"Oh, Chong Ai You Jia, I know that. My sister's cat was cured at Chong Ai You Jia. She came back and told us that there is a doctor named Lu in your store who is very good..." said the woman who came out together.

Sun Chongwu and his colleague who came with him looked at each other and said, "Wow, I didn't expect that our Boss Lu is so famous. There are people who know him even when he comes to this small village."

"Haha, yes, our boss's surname is Lu. He should be the Doctor Lu your sister mentioned. He is really awesome." Sun Chongwu was not modest at all.

And with Lu Jingxing taking the lead, it became more convenient for them to carry out their work.

"You are doing a good deed. You can take it away. This will save it. But can its condition be cured?" the man said after hearing this.

"It can be cured, but it's an infectious disease. I don't know if other dogs are infected. Are there many dogs in your village?" Sun Chongwu asked worriedly when he saw the little guy's appearance.

"Ah? An infectious disease? What disease is it? It won't be contagious to humans, right?" The woman was frightened when she heard that it was an infectious disease.

"Oh, no, it won't be contagious to humans, but it can be contagious between dogs. It's the same as HIV in humans. This is a male dog, and now is the estrus season. If it mates with a female dog, it will pass the virus to the female dog. If the female dog mates with another male dog, then..." Sun Chongwu wanted to make the situation sound serious.

"Then all the dogs in the village are dead." The man widened his eyes, looking at what to do.

"You said it only came in the past two days, but it looks so serious, so the dogs in your village should be fine. But I don't know what it was like before it came. Let me catch it first, and then go around the village later." Sun Chongwu went to the car and got a cage.

The little guy was already sitting in the corner, licking the bag non-stop. Sun Chongwu put the cage in front of it and put some meat strips in it.

The little guy stood up and came over when he smelled the meat strips, but each time he reached the cage, he walked away. "Hey, you're pretty smart..." Sun Chongwu teased him several times, but he always ran away before entering the cage.

"Why don't we lock it up at home and catch it later?" the hostess suggested.

"How do we catch it?" asked the man.

When they heard that the little guy had this disease, both owners dared not move forward.

It seems like I'll be infected if I get close to it.

Sun Chongwu put on long sleeves and said, "It's okay. I can catch them. I'll do it."

He threw the strips of meat on the ground. Although the little guy was alert, he couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. Even when surrounded by several people, he slowly approached.

The strips of meat were very close to the cage.

Sun Chongwu and his team had made sufficient preparations before it came to eat the meat strips.

So, when the little guy lowered his head to bite the meat strip, he picked him up and threw him into the cage.

The little guy reacted and tried to turn around to bite him, but before he could turn around, he fell into the cage.

It growled.

My colleague immediately threw the half strip of meat back in.

The little guy probably knew that he couldn't change his behavior once he got into the cage, so he started eating the meat strips with peace of mind.

Sun Chongwu took another close-up photo and sent it to Lu Jingxing, then said goodbye to his two masters and prepared to go around the village again.

Every time they saw a dog on the road, they would get out of the car to look, for fear that it might have been infected.

Fortunately, however, several of the dogs in a row had owners, and they were usually chased home.

Their presence in the village is quite eye-catching.

Soon several people came out, probably thinking they were there to beat the dog, and looked at them warily.

Some people even yelled at them directly: "What are you doing? Beating dogs?"

"How can someone come here to beat a dog so blatantly? We live in a society ruled by law now. If you don't leave, we will call the police." Several women came out probably because they heard their own dogs barking loudly.

Sun Chongwu probably didn't expect that the people in this village were so united, but he had done nothing wrong, so naturally he was not afraid of anything.

He walked over with a smile and explained to everyone: "No, we don't beat dogs. On the contrary, we save dogs."

"Rescue the dog? What dog?" the shirtless man said fiercely.

The boy with Sun Chongwu felt a little uncomfortable: "Forget it, Brother Sun, let's go. It's not worth it to get beaten for doing nothing."

Sun Chongwu laughed after hearing this: "No way, it's okay."

He was just about to explain to everyone when the man who had just helped catch the black dog came over on a motorcycle and drove directly between the group of people: "They are not beating the dog, they are helping to find the dog..."

"Big Head, are they your relatives?" one of the women asked.

The one called Big Head, the one who caught the black dog, shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not the case. A few days ago, a black dog came to the village with a big lump on its butt. They caught the dog. The dog was sick, and it was an infectious disease. They came to the village to help and see if there were other dogs infected..."

Sun Chongwu and his colleagues nodded together: "If the disease is contagious, all the dogs in the village will be in danger, so we came to take a look."

After hearing what Datou said, several people were a little skeptical, but they believed it in the end. They all grabbed their dogs and looked at them: "How can you tell that this is contagious? A skin disease? It can't be contagious and cause a lump, right?"

Sun Chongwu had no choice but to explain to everyone: "The dog has TVT, which is what we commonly call disease X. It is the same as HIV in humans and is contagious. However, the elder brother just said that the dog has only been in your village for two days, and it is now seriously ill. It may not have been transmitted to your dog. But we are prepared for the worst, so we came here to check it out. You can observe your own dogs, or see if there are other cases like this in the village. If so, please contact us. We can help treat stray dogs."

"Ah, why are you so nice? Do you specialize in adopting stray animals?" One of the ladies had been silent until now. After hearing what Sun Chongwu said, she asked in disbelief.

"We do specialize in taking in stray animals. We have been doing this for several years and are very professional. You can rest assured." Sun Chongwu smiled a professional smile.

"Then you are really good people. Just based on this point, we should not doubt you." Someone said loudly.

Sun Chongwu and his colleagues laughed together, as if they had found the reason why they had persisted so much over the years. Being understood and supported by others, it seemed that sometimes suffering a little bit of grievance was worth it.

"Anyway, I left my phone number with this big brother. You guys should observe more closely in the future. If you find that something is wrong, call us or send the patient directly to Chongai Youjia in Longan, where they can accept and treat the patient." Sun Chongwu said when he saw that there were no problems at the moment and it was getting late.

"Okay, thank you so much." The man named Datou got out of the car and shook hands with Sun Chongwu again.

After saying goodbye to everyone again, Sun Chongwu came to the house at the entrance of the village where the German Shepherd lived.

At this time, the German Shepherd's owner also rushed back.

When he met a few people, he was still very polite.

"To be honest, I used to raise dogs as a breeder. There are eight in this batch. I sold five of them at a discount or a giveaway. The remaining three puppies had some health problems. I don't do this anymore, and it's not convenient to raise so many dogs where I live, so I left them behind. But I didn't completely ignore them. I will come back every few days." The owner drove a Volkswagen and spoke sincerely, as if he was afraid of being blamed by others.

Although Sun Chongwu had some objections to his treatment of these German Shepherds, he could not blame him because they were his own dogs after all.

He had no choice but to nod, agreeing with what his master said.

After the other person finished speaking, he asked, "Now there are three more puppies, including the mother dog. What are you going to do? They will surely die if they continue like this. Look how thin they are."

The owner and Sun Chongwu walked into the yard together. Perhaps he had not been back for a long time, so he seemed unaware that one of the cubs had died. When the little guys saw their owner coming, they wagged their tails while gasping for breath.
