In the pet clinic, there were two waiting customers with dogs and one with a cat. They were all playing with their phones out of boredom, and Zhang Zian's entrance did not attract much attention.
Long Xian looked up from behind the nurse's station and saw Zhang Zian. Her eyes fell on the cat bag in his hand, and she asked in surprise, "Store Manager Zhang, isn't your aquarium opening today? How come you have time to come here in person? Can't you just ask Wang Qian and Li Kun to come here? "
"I don't trust them to handle this." Zhang Zian lifted the cat bag higher and said to her seriously, "This cat must have rabies, and it's already showing up. Do you have any relevant treatment experience?"
Long Xian was stunned and stopped what she was doing. "Rabies? Uh … I don't have any anyway. I just learned some theories in school. "
"Okay, is Sun Xiaomeng inside?" Zhang Zian pointed to the direction of the clinic.
"Yes." She nodded.
"Okay, then I'll wait for a while. I'm with the girl who just left. There are two more waiting in front, right?" Zhang Zian confirmed.
Long Xian looked behind him and shook her head. "There's no one else."
"What?"
Zhang Zian also looked back. As soon as the three people who were waiting in the waiting area heard that the cat he brought had rabies, they immediately left with their pets without saying a word …
"…" He lowered his voice and said, "Don't tell Sun Xiaomeng that I scared away her customers …"
Speak of the devil.
The door of the clinic was pushed open. A patient walked out of the clinic with his pet and thanked Zhang Zian. Sun Xiaomeng walked him to the door and said casually, "The next one is sterilized, right?"
"No," Zhang Zian corrected her. "I'm not sterilized."
Sun Xiaomeng stuck her head out of the clinic in surprise. "Why are you here?"
"To bring you the cat." Zhang Zian walked over with the cat bag. "A customer came to my shop today. She was going to see your cat, but she stopped when she passed by my shop. Guess what? "
"Don't keep me guessing." She frowned and stared at the cat bag, then glanced at Fina behind him.
"Take a look at the cat first." Zhang Zian entered the clinic with her and put the cat bag on the operating table.
Sun Xiaomeng reached out to pull the zipper of the cat bag, but Zhang Zian quickly pulled the cat bag back.
"What are you doing?" She said angrily, thinking that he was deliberately playing with her.
"Are you usually this rash?" Zhang Zian thought that doctors were cautious people, so he explained helplessly, "Don't say that I didn't remind you. This cat seems to have rabies, and it's in the final stage."
Sun Xiaomeng stared at his face for a moment and realized that he was not joking.
She was already wearing a pair of rubber gloves. She took out a pair of thicker gloves from the stainless steel cabinet and put them on. Then, she slowly unzipped the cat carrier.
Zhang Zian was afraid that the sick Siamese cat would suddenly jump out, and Fina was a reckless person, so he moved two steps to the side and stood in front of Fina.
"Ow —"
Although its gray eyes were lifeless, the strong light from the operating table still stimulated the Siamese cat. It let out a shrill cry, and its body violently spasmed. Due to the virus's attack on its nerves, it lost control of its jaw muscles. Its mouth was open, and it couldn't close. Its sharp canine teeth were exposed, and the sticky saliva on the tip of its teeth pulled out crystal clear thin lines. If it was scratched by these teeth, thousands of yuan would disappear …
It only managed to poke its head out of the cat carrier before Sun Xiaomeng, who was already prepared, pressed its neck, and it couldn't move.
"Is it rabies?" Zhang Zian asked. Whether it was sick or not, he couldn't say for sure. Only a licensed veterinarian could.
Sun Xiaomeng nodded silently, and noticed that there was a collar on the Siamese cat's neck. "Is this a house cat? How did it get infected? "
"I heard that it was scratched by a stray cat." Zhang Zian repeated Liu Wenying's words and sighed. "This cat was bought from my shop. It was the second pet sold in my shop. I didn't expect it to end up like this …"
Since there were no customers for the time being, Long Xian was bored outside, so she followed him in to learn more.
"I have a question, Store Manager Zhang. Don't blame me if I ask the wrong question. Why don't you vaccinate your pets before selling them?" Long Xian questioned. "Is it because of the cost?"
"No."
Sun Xiaomeng and Zhang Zian answered almost at the same time, but this question was directed to Zhang Zian, so he answered, "The earliest rabies vaccination for dogs is three months after they are born. Sometimes, they are bought before three months. But that's not the main reason. The main reason is that many cities stipulate that when applying for a dog raising license, rabies vaccination proof must be provided at the same time. Some cities even designate a pet clinic or pet hospital as the vaccination point. If it's vaccinated before, it has to be vaccinated again when applying for a dog raising license, which causes a waste of resources. As for cats … No one will vaccinate cats for rabies in advance. That's even more wasteful. "
"Oh, I understand." Long Xian smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Sun Xiaomeng held the Siamese cat down and ordered Long Xian, "Prepare the anesthetic and potassium chloride."
Long Xian froze for a moment, then trotted to the medicine cabinet to prepare the relevant drugs. She knew that Sun Xiaomeng was going to euthanize the sick Siamese cat.
"Who's the cat's owner?" Sun Xiaomeng asked Zhang Zian, "Can you make the decision?"
Even if the cat had rabies, it was still a cat with an owner. It was considered someone else's property. Zhang Zian really couldn't make the decision himself.
He asked Sun Xiaomeng to wait for a moment and sent a message to Zhao Qi, "Is the injection done? Help me tell Sister Wenying that her cat has been diagnosed with rabies. The problem now is that it's already a walking corpse. Living is worse than dying, and there's a risk of it hurting people. Can it be euthanized? " Sister Wenying's consent was needed.
Soon, Zhao Qi replied, "I'm done. I'm taking her home now. I won't go back to the pet shop. Ask Shi Shi to bring my things back." Sister Wenying's mental state was very poor. She looked worried, and Yue Yue kept crying. Euthanasia or something, you can decide for yourself. Do you have to ask her? Yue Yue is still next to you.
Zhang Zian replied, "I have to ask. This is her cat. As for how to ask, you find a way to avoid Yue Yue. "
The pet clinic had performed many euthanasia surgeries, usually for pets that were too sick to be saved. Long Xian quickly prepared the relevant supplies. She also put on thick gloves and stood by the operating table with Sun Xiaomeng, waiting for his news.
After a while, Zhao Qi sent a message, "I asked. Sister Wenying agreed to euthanasia. She said that it's not her fault to die too painfully."
