The examination of Little White was not over yet. Sun Xiaomeng skillfully put on the stethoscope with one hand and pressed the stethoscope head on Little White's chest with the other hand. She looked down at her watch and silently calculated Little White's heartbeat.
"Normal." She nodded to Wu Yue, took off the stethoscope and hung it around her neck like before.
Knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door of the operating room.
Long Xian poked her head in and her eyes fell on Little White. She asked shyly, "Sister Xiaomeng, do you need my help?"
Sun Xiaomeng actually didn't need her help, because before she came here, Sun Xiaomeng had done all these things by herself. She was used to cleaning and treating.
However, since she had hired her as a nurse, why did she still have to work so hard?
In addition, Long Xian also wanted to observe, because most of the methods learned in the veterinary school were for the diagnosis and treatment of large domestic animals, such as pigs, cows, horses, sheep, and so on. The proportion of methods for the diagnosis and treatment of cats and dogs was very small... How to put it, like other professions, veterinary courses were not keeping up with the times. Therefore, for those who were determined to be in the veterinary profession, internship and on-site observation were very important.
"Come in." Sun Xiaomeng waved at her.
Long Xian stuck out her tongue, trotted into the operating room, put on rubber gloves, and stood behind Sun Xiaomeng like a good student with her hands behind her back. She nodded to Wu Yue.
Sun Xiaomeng handed her the medical record, then took out a pen from her breast pocket and put it in Long Xian's hand. She read out the temperature, heartbeat and other data to her.
Long Xian recorded carefully on the medical record, and occasionally asked in a low voice if she couldn't hear or understand something.
Sun Xiaomeng patiently answered her questions one by one.
Wu Yue, who was watching from the side, laughed, "Doctor Sun, you really look like a doctor now."
"Oh? Then what did I look like before? "Sun Xiaomeng felt it was funny and asked.
"Anyway, you don't look like a doctor. A doctor should be followed by a nurse." Wu Yue couldn't explain it clearly, so she had to answer this way.
After Long Xian finished recording, Sun Xiaomeng took out a large disposable syringe from the instrument cabinet and leaned over to Little White. Long Xian quickly put down the medical record and helped Sun Xiaomeng gently hold Little White down.
Sun Xiaomeng inserted the syringe into the plastic catheter. After inserting it to the end, she pulled the piston rod backwards. As the rod moved back, yellowish-brown urine filled the inside of the syringe.
Little White's bulging lower abdomen gradually flattened, and the anxiety in its eyes disappeared. Long Xian could feel its tight muscles relaxing.
Sun Xiaomeng put the syringe on the tray, took off the disposable gloves, and said to Long Xian, "Come and change the gauze."
Long Xian was very happy to get the chance to do it. Strictly following what she had been taught in school and Sun Xiaomeng's instructions, she carefully avoided the urethral catheter, put new gauze and cotton cloth on Little White, and then put its shorts back on.
Wu Yue's heart ached as she held Little White in her arms and rubbed her face against it. "Little White is such a good boy. What a strong child."
Long Xian put the used gloves, gauze, cotton cloth, and a syringe full of urine on a tray and left the operating room to deal with it. Sun Xiaomeng looked at Little White and said sincerely, "Little White is very lucky to have a master like you."
"No, I am very happy to have met Little White," Wu Yue said softly. She didn't think that she had done anything great at all.
She bent down to put Little White back into the air box, closed the door, picked up the box and said, "Dr. Sun, I'm leaving now. I'll come back tomorrow."
Sun Xiaomeng opened the door of the operating room and went out with her. She reminded her again, "It may be windy and cold tomorrow. Pay attention to keep warm — both you and Little White, especially you. Little White is the only one left. You must take good care of yourself. Don't get sick."
"I know, Dr. Sun. Thank you." Wu Yue stopped at the door of the clinic, "Dr. Sun, you can go back. It's cold outside, and you're not wearing much — you should also take care of yourself. Don't catch a cold."
"Okay, I know. I'm a doctor, although just a veterinarian." Sun Xiaomeng smiled and helped her open the door of the clinic, "Be careful on the road."
Wu Yue waved to her, carried the air box, and walked quickly to the nearby bus stop.
Sun Xiaomeng stood at the door and watched for a while, then returned to the clinic.
"Sister Xiaomeng, what's wrong with the dog?" Long Xian asked curiously, with her arms on the cashier counter and her chin in her hands.
Sun Xiaomeng simply explained, "Bladder cancer."
"What? It's... cancer? "Long Xian opened her mouth in surprise.
Sun Xiaomeng nodded with a serious face, indicating that she didn't hear it wrong.
"This..." Through the glass door, Long Xian looked at Wu Yue's back, carrying the air box and walking in the cold wind.
Sun Xiaomeng walked around the cashier counter and made herself a cup of hot coffee with a lot of sugar.
"Do you think she's great?" She held the coffee cup with both hands. When she opened the door, her hands were a little cold from the wind, so she could warm them with the hot coffee.
Long Xian's heart was filled with warmth, and her eyes became a little moist. She said with a nasal voice, "She doesn't look like a very rich person."
"Indeed not, so her decision is even more precious." Sun Xiaomeng understood Long Xian's feelings.
"She comes here every day?" Long Xian actually already knew the answer.
"Every day," Sun Xiaomeng answered affirmatively, "since the operation."
She looked into the distance and said sadly, "When she came here for the first time, she said something was wrong with Little White. It seemed to be in pain, so she asked me to check it. After I checked it, I told her it was not good, and it was cancer. "
"You know, in this case, I gave her two choices according to the usual practice, the first was surgery, and the second was euthanasia." Sun Xiaomeng forced a smile, pretending to be relaxed, and said, "Of course, there is a third choice, which is to take it home. Based on my experience since I opened my business, more people choose the third option than the first two options combined! After all, it saves money. "
"I saw that she loved this dog very much, so I thought she might choose euthanasia. But I was wrong. She didn't wait for me to finish, and directly said that she wanted surgery, "she continued. She still remembered the extremely sad and determined expression on Wu Yue's face at that time.
"I should be very happy that she wanted surgery," Sun Xiaomeng said self-deprecatingly, "After all, surgery is more profitable than euthanasia. But at that time, I don't know what happened, but I actually advised her not to do the surgery, because the risk was very high. Even if the surgery was successful, there was a risk of infection in the later stage, and once infected, she would die. Besides, the postoperative care was also very expensive … "
"But she still decided to do the surgery, right?" Long Xian couldn't stop her tears, and they rolled down her cheeks like pearls.
Sun Xiaomeng wiped the corners of her eyes, "Yes, she still decided to do the surgery."
