Start at the pet store

"The biggest one organized the smaller ones to leave after eating, but it kept stretching its neck to look inside. It probably wanted to find you. Later, it kept bowing to us, as if to say thank you..." Ding Fang smiled and said, "It just smells a bit strong..."

Lu Jingxing heard it and laughed, "They just smell strong, and it takes a long time to get rid of it."

The more they talked that day, the more awkward it became.

The two of them didn't talk anymore, and Lu Jingxing went to the backyard.

He hadn't been to the reptile house for a few days.

When he was about to go to the reptile house, Ding Fang ran over again: "Brother Lu, there are guests..."

Lu Jingxing had to follow back to the office.

The couple who came were a couple in their thirties, with their blue and gold.

The little guy was round, but not in good spirits, and looked a little weak.

Lu Jingxing asked them to put the little guy on the desk and asked, "What's wrong with it?"

The hostess immediately took over the topic: "We have been to many hospitals and have been suffering for more than a month..."

"More than a month?" Lu Jingxing was a little surprised.

"Yes, at the beginning of the previous month, it suddenly vomited and had diarrhea one day. We hurriedly took it to a nearby hospital. After the doctor examined it, he said it was gastroenteritis. At that time, it was given an injection and treatment, but we just wanted to be hospitalized. We didn't agree because it had never left us. After discussing with the doctor, the doctor agreed. We waited for it to finish the injection and took it home at night. But after returning home from the hospital, it refused to eat or drink the next day, and its condition became more and more serious." The male owner kept stroking the little guy with his hands, his eyes full of heartache.

"What are the symptoms? No eating or drinking, is there a hen squat situation?" Lu Jingxing asked while giving the little guy a preliminary examination.

"Yes, yes, hen squat, fever, lethargy, later we took it to the doctor again, and did a bunch of tests. The doctor told us that its condition at the time, including all the results, pointed to feline infectious peritonitis..." said the female owner.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, according to what you said, it does look like FIP, but now? It's been a month. If it's FIP, as long as you keep taking injections, it should be cured."

"Alas, now I don't know if it's FIP or not. We heard from the doctor that it would take more than 80 days of injections, so we bought 441 and went home, ready to take injections and take medicine for 84 days to accompany it to face the disease. I cried every day because the doctor said that the mortality rate of FIP is very high..." The two owners really love their babies, and Lu Jingxing clearly felt it.

"Well..." Lu Jingxing just nodded and waited for them to continue.

"It was fine in the first week. Soon its appetite improved, it started to eat on its own initiative, and it could slowly start to play. We thought we had found the right cause and it was developing in a good direction. But in the second week, it returned to its previous state. Although it was not as serious, it was as if the disease was paused. Its appetite became bad again. It would only eat something if we fed it. It was the same when playing. It would get tired after playing for a while and could not return to its previous state at all."

"We also checked a lot of cases about feline infectious peritonitis on the Internet. Based on the experience shared by netizens, we thought it was self-inflicted. The medicine I bought originally was not effective, so I bought a more famous 441 injection. I was afraid that it would not absorb well, so I gave it a hot compress. My husband also bought an infrared therapy lamp to use together. I was afraid that the food would not suit his taste, so my husband bought a wall-breaking machine and made food for it by himself. He also bought a lot of better canned food. I was afraid that it would not eat enough at one time and would not get enough nutrition. I set an alarm and fed it every three hours. The two of us took turns to use a syringe to inject food into its mouth. Anyway, we tried various methods..."

"We really tried everything we could think of..." The male host added.

"But there has been no improvement. This time we took a special annual leave. I heard from others that you are more powerful. We drove for more than 20 hours. It would have been faster to take a plane, but now it looks like this, how dare we let it be checked in? We would rather drive..." After the hostess said this, Lu Jingxing raised his head and looked at them.

"Are you the ones that our doctor Yang said came from Heilongjiang?" It's no wonder that Lu Jingxing didn't react at first, because the couple spoke standard Mandarin, and he didn't think they were from other places.

"Yes, but my hometown is not far from Long'an. When I was young, I came to Long'an many times. But now I work in Heilongjiang and settled there." The man said softly.

"That's hard work..." Lu Jingxing was surprised and moved.

"We dare not look for doctors randomly anymore. It's not that we don't trust doctors, but we are really afraid that we will spend money and still can't cure it, and then it will suffer again. We looked for many local hospitals at the beginning, and the results said it was feline infectious peritonitis, but now its condition seems not to be, otherwise, it won't get worse and worse, right..." The hostess asked.

"If that's the case, it doesn't look like infectious peritonitis. Thank you for believing me, but I still need to check it here, and more tests may be needed to confirm its disease. No doctor can observe this with the naked eye..." Lu Jingxing said.

"There's really no better way. Since we've come here specially, I'll listen to you..." The couple looked at each other and nodded.

Basic examinations include: blood routine, complete biochemistry, SAA, ultrasound examination, pancreatitis detection, etc. Lu Jingxing ordered all the examinations he felt needed.

Then asked: "Do you have insurance for the little guy?"

The male host was a little confused: "Insurance, will you give it?"

"Yes, of course I told him to give it to him." Lu Jingxing smiled slightly.

Both of them shook their heads dully, and suddenly the hostess asked: "I bought it on Alipay for twenty or thirty yuan a month. I bought it for fun at the time. Is it useful?"

Lu Jingxing nodded: "It's useful. We are a designated hospital, and we can claim 70% of the reimbursement..."

"Really? It's been two years since I bought it. The doctors who examined me before didn't ask me about it. If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it..." The hostess quickly took her mobile phone and found the one she gave to the little guy. Buy insurance page.

The male host also came over: "I really bought it, can it be used?"

Lu Jingxing looked at it and said, "It works. We are a designated hospital and can be reimbursed directly. If we can reimburse 70%, you don't need to be mentally burdened."

"That's true, oh, I bought it for fun at the time. I thought it wouldn't be expensive anyway, so I didn't bother with it later. The two little guys only cost a few hundred yuan a year. I never thought that they could really be reimbursed. ..." The hostess showed her first smile after entering.

But when I thought that I didn't know the cause of my baby's illness, I became worried again.

"You go and pay the fee first. Just leave it to me..." Lu Jingxing picked up the little guy.

It will be time to get off work soon, and all the inspections must be completed today.

"Just wait in the lounge. Some preliminary results will be available today." Lu Jingxing led the two of them out the door.

The couple nodded, the man went to the front desk to pay the fee, and the woman went to the treatment room.

The time spent waiting outside was like a year, and the two of them were restless.

After the results came out, Lu Jingxing called the two of them to the office.

He looked a little solemn and said: "The results I got here make me think it may be hemolytic. There are not many treatment options available at present. Let him be hospitalized first, take hormones, insert a nasogastric tube, and observe for a week. At the same time, In order to rule out feline AIDS and leukemia, it is recommended to do another blood test. The results of the blood test will take about a week." After speaking, he looked at the two people.

"Take hormones and insert a nasogastric tube?" The hostess immediately shook her head when she heard this: "That would be too uncomfortable..."

"Although its condition is not good now, it is still stable. How about I send it for a blood test first, but it will take a week to get the results. Can you guys wait?" Lu Jingxing thought of their home in distant Heilongjiang, and some Worry for them.

"It's okay for a week. I took half a month's annual leave. We can go back to my hometown and come back when the results are available..." The two of them discussed it and replied.

"That's it. I'll prescribe some medicine for it first to keep its symptoms from getting worse. When the results come out, I will notify you as soon as possible. I will..." Lu Jingxing nodded. He had read it. The little guy There is currently no life-threatening condition.

He was just not sure what the blood test results would be, so the treatment plan was not yet decided.

"Okay, okay, thank you..." The couple nodded repeatedly.

At least what they heard was not completely incurable, which gave the couple some peace of mind.

Lu Jingxing sent them out of the hospital, and the hospital got off work.

After he put things into place, he was ready to go home.

I haven't been home for two days, and now I just want to go back and have a good sleep.

Yang Pei went back to the second store, and now he ran over again: "I brought you food. I heard that you were busy just now, so I ordered some. It's still hot. Eat it quickly..."

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly: "I'm going to have a bite somewhere later..."

"They said you were busy, so I ordered it here..." Yang Pei put the rice on the table.

Lu Jingxing was really hungry, so he immediately started eating.

"I discussed it with Xiangyu. As I told you last time, we have already made a schedule for the shift. Let's arrange it next month. Nowadays, many emergencies come at night. Yes, it’s really not enough to have only one employee on duty in the store," Yang Pei said as he sat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of water.

"That's okay. You can discuss it. I think it's okay. However, we need to make a calculation to see if we need to recruit more people. We must be prepared. If it is really 24 hours a day, maybe there will not be enough manpower and we will be busy. , then there will be more people working the evening shift..." Lu Jingxing said.

Yang Pei nodded: "Yes, we will wait a few months to check the situation. At present, we still have enough manpower..."

"That's fine, you can figure it out..." Lu Jingxing was not prepared to take care of this matter.

The two were talking when they heard someone ringing the doorbell outside the door, and Lu Jingxing was about to get up.

"You eat, I'll go take a look..." Yang Pei had already stood up first.

The employee on duty in the back room also ran out: "Brother Yang, you are here..."

Yang Pei nodded, and the two of them walked towards the door together.

I saw a girl holding a cardboard box outside, looking at them with tears in her eyes, pointing at the box: "Save it..."

The employee on duty quickly opened the door and said, "We're off work..."

The girl wiped her tears with her hands: "Save it, it's so pitiful. I just saw it on the road. If you don't save it, it will die..." She became more and more excited as she spoke, and the crying sound in her voice became stronger. .

Yang Pei hurriedly waved: "Come on, come on, bring me in and have a look..."

The girl quickly trotted into the treatment room with him. Lu Jingxing also finished his meal: "What's wrong?" He looked at the three people walking towards the treatment room.

"This little girl brought a cat. It seems to be very ill..." Yang Pei turned around and said, then walked straight in.

Lu Jingxing also followed.

Yang Pei carefully took the little guy out of the carton.

This was an orange cat that was only three or four months old. The little guy looked at the people with tears in his eyes and his body was trembling.

The girl couldn't help crying loudly when she saw the little guy's appearance.

Lu Jingxing walked over to comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry anymore, we will try our best to save it..."

The girl slowly suppressed her emotions.

Yang Pei took a breath: "Damn, this is..." He looked at the girl: "How could it be like this?"

The girl shook her head: "I don't know. I saw it on the roadside. I thought it was going to die..."

Lu Jingxing rarely saw Yang Pei like this, but when he got closer, he was stunned.

The little guy's lower body was covered in blood and flesh, but it was not injured by being run over by a car. Instead, it looked like the skin on its belly had been cut off artificially, and its limbs were hanging down. They should have been broken. The forelimbs are even more serious. The thighs are tightly tied with red bands. It doesn't use any strength at all.

Even though several people had seen the big scene, they were also shocked by this scene. What kind of hatred is this, to treat a kitten like this?

The little guy burst into tears and cried out twice weakly: "Meow... I feel so much pain. What on earth... did I do wrong..."

Lu Jingxing choked up after hearing the sound it made, and stroked its head with his hand: "Good boy, you're right. I'm sorry. I apologize for those bad guys. We will try our best to help you..."

The little guy raised his head and looked at him. His body that was still trembling just now seemed to suddenly have strength.

Everyone felt so sad. Even though it was so seriously injured, it was still willing to trust humans. I really don’t know how those people could do this.

Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei no longer hesitated and immediately gave it emergency treatment.
