Chapter 939 Putting an Elephant in the Refrigerator

The little fellow was held by Lu Jingxing with his belly up and his arms and legs spread out, and he kept paddling with his little feet.

"About one year old..." the girl said, recalling.

"He's a little big. The younger the sugar glider is when it comes to sterilization, the better. He's one year old now, so he should have been a father once or twice, right?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Yes, I've given birth twice, so I think I can do it..." The girl nodded repeatedly.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay, let's do it. It's not a major operation and it won't take long."

The girl asked in confusion, "Isn't this a major surgery?"

Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "No, you can watch. Some people do this at home. They don't even need to go to the operating room. The treatment room will do."

"Really? Then I dare not..." The girl waved her hands. When she heard that it was a minor operation, she looked much more relaxed.

Lu Jingxing put the little guy in a cage. The little guy was too naughty. If he was not locked up, it would be impossible to catch him. He would jump all over people.

"You go and pay the fee, and I'll take it to the treatment room. You can come over later..." He went out and pointed to the treatment room next to him.

The girl nodded repeatedly and ran quickly to the front desk.

Lu Jingxing returned to the treatment room.

Tie up the little guy's balls tightly first and let it get used to it for a while.

This was just a minor operation, and when it was almost adapted, the girl came in.

Lu Jingxing had already made preparations. He tied the little guy to the treatment table, gave it anesthesia, and covered its eyes.

The girl looked on in surprise.

Lu Jingxing was neither anxious nor angry. He quickly cracked the little guy's eggs with the knife.

Then sew the stitches.

After finishing, he smiled at the girl and said, "Okay, it's done."

"Is this... so fast?" the girl asked in disbelief.

"Hmm..." Lu Jingxing smiled: "I told you, this is just a minor operation..."

Soon the little guy opened his eyes and looked at the two of them dazedly.

"Okay, get up, you can go home..." Lu Jingxing smiled and untied the tapes that were tied up the little guy.

"It's fine now. Don't you need an anti-inflammatory injection or something?" The girl took her little baby with both hands and looked at Lu Jingxing in disbelief.

"Haha, no need, just apply some anti-inflammatory medicine on it when you go back. I told you, this is not a major operation." Lu Jingxing laughed.

Seeing that Lu Jingxing didn't seem to be joking, the girl looked carefully at the little guy's wound. Except for the testicles, the wound was really just a tiny one. She couldn't help but admire Lu Jingxing's craftsmanship.

"Don't worry, you can come to me anytime if you have any questions. Of course, I mean if there are any problems caused by sterilization..." Lu Jingxing emphasized, fearing that the girl would not believe him.

"Okay, I got it. Thank you. I've heard that the doctor at Chongai Youjia is very good, but I didn't expect it to be true..." the girl said admiringly.

"Haha, thank you for your trust. If you want to raise cats or dogs in the future, you are welcome to come to us anytime..." Lu Jingxing politely took the girl out.

It was less than an hour from the reception to the end of the operation. He saw that there was no one at the reception desk, so he wanted to take a nap for half an hour, but he couldn't hold on any longer.

Ding Fang closed the door immediately after seeing him enter the office. She probably knew that he wanted to rest for a while, so she received all the customers who were not in a hurry and tried to let him rest for a while.

Just then, a customer came in and asked Ding Fang, "Is your doctor Lu here?"

Ding Fang raised her head: "He's here, how can you help me?"

The customer raised the cage in his hand and said, "I came here specifically to see him. Others told me that only he can solve this problem."

"Oh, please wait a moment. I'll go call him. He just took a break..." Ding Fang originally thought that since Xiaojiu had come out, she could take the customer to find Xiaojiu, but now the customer specifically asked for Lu Jingxing, there was nothing she could do but let him end his break.

She knocked on the door gently, and Lu Jingxing woke up immediately. He replied in a dazed voice, "Come in." Then he rolled over and sat up, covering his eyes and looking at the door.

"Brother Lu, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. A customer came and asked for you..." Ding Fang said in a low voice, looking at Lu Jingxing who was half asleep on the sofa.

Lu Jingxing waved his hand: "It's okay, let him in, I just need to wash my face..."

He knew that Ji Ling had high hopes for this young receptionist, and she had probably tried her best to block anything she could, so he could understand her difficulties.

He even smiled at her.

Ding Fang winked mischievously, opened the door, and let the customer in.

Lu Jingxing pointed to the stool in front of the desk and said, "Excuse me, please sit down for a while while I wash my face."

The customer nodded, sat down, and placed the cage in his hand on the desk.

After Lu Jingxing washed his face, he sat down opposite him: "What's wrong? What's in here?"

This is a man in his fifties, dressed casually, but Lu Jingxing can tell that he should be well off. His clothes and watch show that he comes from a well-off family.

His voice was a little hoarse. When he heard Lu Jingxing's question, he took off the cloth covering the cage and said, "Doctor Lu, I came here specifically to see you. I didn't expect that you are so young, even though others say you are so amazing."

Lu Jingxing smiled modestly: "No, it's all because of everyone's flattery..."

"It's like this, I've had this parrot for about eleven or twelve years, and it never laid eggs before, but recently it suddenly started laying eggs, and my wife saw it laying eggs stuck in its buttocks when it laid them..." He said as he took the little guy's cage out from under the cloth. Lu Jingxing recognized it as a typical Fei-style lovebird at first glance, the little guy was not big, its back, chest and tail were bright blue, its neck was white, its head was light gray, and it had a light pink beak.

It's a very beautiful little guy.

He couldn't help but praise: "This little guy is very beautiful."

The owner couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard his praise: "Yes, it is the most beautiful one in our family, and it is also the one with the longest lifespan. Because it has never laid eggs, we never thought about it in this way..."

"When did the eggs start laying?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"It laid eggs four or five days ago. The egg must have been stuck at the time. My wife wanted to help it lay eggs like she would other parrots, but she failed. The egg must have broken at the time..." The man talked about the scene that day.

"Oh..." Lu Jingxing said softly and nodded.

"We went to a pet shop near me, but they were unwilling to accept it. They said they couldn't do it. Then they recommended me to you, so I came directly..." After the male owner finished speaking, he looked at Lu Jingxing.

"Is its current situation that the egg is broken, but the eggshell is stuck in its body?" Lu Jingxing said as he analyzed the situation.

"I don't understand either. Although I have raised parrots for a long time, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation. I don't know..." the man said anxiously.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Well, we may need to go for a check-up first to see if there is an eggshell stuck in the fallopian tube, and then we can determine how to treat it."

"Okay, it can be cured, right?" the man asked.

"It can definitely be cured, but we have to first determine what the problem is," said Lu Jingxing.

"Ah, as long as it can be cured, then let's do as you say and treat it however it should be treated." The man said simply.

Lu Jingxing wrote a prescription and ordered an X-ray for the little guy, then asked the man to pay the money first. The operation was confirmed.

After the man paid the money, he took the man to the filming room.

"You see, the eggshell is broken, but it's still in the oviduct. The shell is not well calcified. In the case you mentioned, it's the first time it's laid eggs in more than ten years. Birds like these have the risk of getting the eggs stuck when they lay eggs for the first time, but this is a more special case. So it's normal for the eggs to get stuck. In the future, if this happens, we still need a professional midwife to help remove the eggs after evaluation. In this case, there is still a way to fix the rupture, but if the fallopian tube prolapses, it will be very dangerous. Now you can see that the opening of the fallopian tube is torn. We need to pull it open after anesthesia like when we give birth, that is, stretch the fallopian tube, find the remnants of the eggshell from inside and then clip them out..." Lu Jingxing pointed to the computer screen and showed his owner bit by bit.

"This is just like removing stones through the ureter..." The man nodded all the time and suddenly said.

"Uh..." His words made Lu Jingxing stunned: "Ah, yes, it's the same logic..." He said with a smile.

"Is the risk high? Ureteral stones are not a major surgery." The man said when he saw Lu Jingxing affirmed his analogy.

"Yes and not entirely. This operation is more complicated than stone surgery. The best thing about it is that there doesn't seem to be much damage inside, but there is some damage around the fallopian tube. My subsequent treatment will require me to remove the tube and insert it, then listen to the stethoscope, and then make an incision here and take out the remaining eggshell. You may think it sounds simple, but this operation is actually very complicated." Lu Jingxing pointed to the computer screen and tried his best to explain it to the man.

"It does sound simple, but looking at your expression it seems that it is not simple..." The man looked at Lu Jingxing.

"Well, this is like putting an elephant into a refrigerator..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

The man chuckled: "That's a little difficult, but from what you said, it's not impossible, right?"

"Yes, I'm 90% sure, but it may take a little longer, about two hours..." Lu Jingxing said.

"That's a bit long, I'll just wait outside..." The man nodded and said quickly.

"Okay, I'll prepare to perform surgery on it right away. The little guy is lucky today. If it were any other time, I might not be able to perform surgery on it right away. It just so happens that there is no other surgery scheduled this afternoon..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"That's good, thank you for your hard work..." The man followed him to the door of the operating room and said gratefully.

"You're welcome. It's my duty. Please wait here. I'll arrange for someone to do the preparations. Then you will need to sign the consent form for the surgery." Lu Jingxing maintained a professional smile, nodded, and entered the operating room.

This operation, in Lu Jingxing's words, is like putting an elephant into a refrigerator. It requires a clear mind and carefulness in every step. He doesn't have time to watch the APP today, and he can't watch the video during the day, so he can only rely on his own experience to operate.

But fortunately, he had good skills and steady hands, so the operation was as successful as usual and was completed a little earlier than he expected.

When he came out, the male owner was still strolling in the backyard, because Lu Jingxing had told him before that the whole operation would take about two and a half hours, but in fact it only took less than two hours in the end.

The male protagonist came in only after the little guy woke up completely.

Seeing that Lu Jingxing was already in the office receiving other customers, he became a little anxious: "Doctor Lu, why...my..."

"It's okay. The operation has been completed long ago. I didn't call you because I saw you were having a good time watching it in the backyard. It takes some time for the little guy to wake up from the anesthesia. It should be about time now. I'll take you there after I'm done here." Lu Jingxing raised his head, interrupted his conversation with the customer, and said to the man with a smile.

"Did the operation go well?" the man couldn't help but ask. If his wife knew that he had gone to see other animals halfway through the operation, she would be so scared when she returned home.

"It went smoothly. Otherwise, I wouldn't have even called you. Don't worry..." Lu Jingxing smiled slightly.

"That's good. You go ahead and do your work. I'll wait at the door of the operating room. Will he come out from the main entrance?" The man pointed to the door of the operating room.

"Yes, that's right..." Lu Jingxing looked at the customer in front of him and nodded.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing..." The man said with understanding and walked towards the operating room.

Lu Jingxing lowered his head and continued to talk to the girl at the table: "Don't use the grass you mentioned, so as not to lose the big picture for the small. In the rainy season, everything can get moldy, and the grass is no exception. I think the grass you brought has signs of mold. Moldy food will produce a toxin, aflatoxin. Don't underestimate this toxin. It is very toxic and can cause acute poisoning in animals, or even death..."

"It's so serious..." The girl leaned in and sniffed: "I don't smell any mold..."

"It will be too late when you smell it. Don't doubt what our Doctor Lu said." At this time, Liu Bingkun, who had not been seen for a long time, walked in from outside.

When Lu Jingxing saw him, he seemed a little surprised: "Beauty, you are really lucky. This person is a rabbit breeding professional. If you have any questions, you can consult him. I just don't know if our General Manager Liu has time."

"Oh, really? Hey, I seem to have seen you before. Have you been to the rabbit cafe in the park next door?" The girl pointed at Liu Bingkun and asked.
