Chapter 732 Warmth

The mountain road gradually turned dark. Lu Jingxing stared at the road in front of him, thinking about the knowledge of poultry treatment.

The knowledge he read in the book at that time was vivid.

Newborn calves are prone to pneumonia, enteritis, colds and other diseases due to low resistance.

In winter, calves are more susceptible to digestive and respiratory diseases.

So it is very important to eat colostrum. The milk within seven days of calving is colostrum. During this period, we must strengthen feeding management and pay attention to cold prevention and warmth so that calves can grow up healthily.

Nature is magical. These newly born animals, such as giraffes and cows, as long as they can stand up about 90 minutes after birth, they are mostly healthy and have no problems. As long as they are well cared for for a few days, they can thrive. There is no way. After all, for animals in the wild, sometimes time is life. When giving birth, those carnivores will not give you preferential treatment just because you are pregnant. In the face of hunger, everything is equal.

After turning a few corners, I arrived at the gate of the yard.

Villagers were standing on both sides of the road with flashlights, as if they were welcoming some important figures. Yang Pei slowly drove the car into the yard.

Most of the old people in the countryside have nothing to do. They either play cards or walk around and chat at night. It is rare for such a big event to bring all the villagers together.

After getting off the car, several villagers immediately surrounded Lu Jingxing, describing the condition in a flurry. Lu Jingxing smiled and said to the villagers: "Don't worry, folks. I'll take down the equipment and take a closer look later."

Just when Lu Jingxing couldn't get out, Aunt Yu rushed out from the side and pushed the villagers aside with the momentum of the King of Qin sweeping the world.

"Don't worry, Dr. Lu will definitely cure the calf. Why do you need to worry about it?"

Lu Jingxing smiled, put on the equipment with Yang Pei, put on gloves and masks, and walked into the inner room surrounded by the villagers.

On the kang in the inner room, a calf was wrapped tightly in a quilt. Lu Jingxing reached out to touch the calf's head, opened his eyelids and looked at his eyes.

The calf's eyes were already sunken, which was a very bad sign.

According to his guess, the calf should be seriously dehydrated, otherwise the eyes would not be sunken.

Like Chinese medicine, Lu Jingxing put his hand on the calf's neck and felt the pulse of the calf. The pulse of the calf was very weak, and even if he put his hand on the nose of the calf, he could only feel a little bit of hot and humid air coming out of the nose.

The owner of the calf walked in from outside at this time. He hurriedly asked: "Doctor, do you think it can be saved?"

Lu Jingxing cleared his throat: "When did it start to have these symptoms?"

"It was almost yesterday, when the temperature dropped, and then I didn't pay much attention. When I went there the next morning, it couldn't stand anymore."

"Does it have diarrhea?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Yes, it almost defecated on the kang. Fortunately, we reacted in time and didn't let it do it on the kang, otherwise it would be troublesome." The owner looked helpless.

Lu Jingxing touched the calf's head, put his hand into the quilt, felt the calf's body temperature, and then immediately asked Yang Pei to bring the thermometer needle and inserted it diagonally into the rectum of the cow.

"I suspect that it may be a digestive tract disease caused by a cold, which caused the cow to dehydrate. I will try my best to treat it. As for whether it can be cured, it all depends on the cow's luck."

Lu Jingxing knew that this was already a dangerous situation. Although the owner's warming measures were very timely and good, it was a cow that caught a cold after all, and it was so late to receive treatment. We didn't know what caused it. It was really hard to say whether it could be cured.

Lu Jingxing asked Yang Pei to get a bottle of saline solution, and then asked the owner to get a basin of hot water.

After Yang Pei brought the saline solution, Lu Jingxing soaked the saline solution in hot water and used his right hand to test the cow's veins.

Although it was very weak, Lu Jingxing still vaguely felt the trace of beating life.

He inserted the needle into the saline bottle, and the needle at the other end was inserted into the calf's vein quickly and accurately by Lu Jingxing.

"Hold it higher." Lu Jingxing said to Yang Pei.

Yang Pei took the saline bottle and raised it higher to ensure that the saline solution could be injected into the calf's body.

Lu Jingxing took out the thermometer and looked at it. The body temperature was low. The body temperature of a normal cow should be around 37 degrees, but this cow's body temperature was only 35.6 degrees.

And the body temperature had not returned to normal even though it was on the kang.

Lu Jingxing knew the importance of a cow to a farmer's family. For a farmer's family, it would be a pity if a cow worth four or five thousand died.

The pain was one thing, and the pain of watching the life they had brought up from childhood just passed away was another.

A group of people quietly surrounded the calf, waiting for the calf to open its eyes.

Ten minutes later, the calf's eyes slowly bulged.

Lu Jingxing pried open the calf's mouth with his hands, and he felt the waves of heat coming out of its mouth.

He reached into the quilt again, and the calf's body temperature was a little higher than before.

After a bottle of saline solution, the calf's condition was obviously much better.

"Come on, let's try to help it up." Lu Jingxing said.

"One, two, three, one, two, three." With everyone working together, the calf slowly stood up.

"Stand up, it's okay." Lu Jingxing's heart finally fell.

"I told you that Dr. Lu would definitely be able to do it. Alas, you didn't believe me at first." Aunt Yu said to the villagers.

"I just didn't expect such a young doctor to have such good skills. I admire him." An old man couldn't help but praise him.

"It's nothing, it's a small matter. We are just treating a cow. We are not miracle doctors. As long as we can help you, it's fine." Lu Jinghang responded with a smile.

After taking off his equipment and washing his hands, Lu Jinghang went back to take a look at the condition of the calf.

The calf is still a little weak now, but I believe it will get better soon.

It's hard to refuse the kindness. Lu Jinghang and Yang Pei waited for the arrival of supper at the host's invitation.

Sitting around the kang with several villagers, roasting the fire, and listening to the villagers' discussions, Lu Jinghang felt warm in his heart.

"Hey, Dr. Lu, do you have a girlfriend? My daughter is just right. How about recommending her to you?" A villager joked.

"Come on, your daughter is not worthy of a miracle doctor." Another villager confronted him.

"I think some people are jealous because they can't give birth to a beautiful daughter like me." They didn't give in to each other and talked back to each other.

Yang Pei laughed secretly on the side, chewing melon seeds and looking at the embarrassed Lu Jinghang.

"By the way, what did your previous doctor do?" Lu Jinghang broke the awkward situation and asked the owner.

"Oh, you said him, he has been very busy recently. It seems that there is a pig plague in the pig farm in the next village, so he runs back and forth there." The owner looked helpless.

"Luckily you are here, otherwise this calf is finished today."

Lu Jingxing responded: "You can't rely on me every day. It takes me a while to get here from the city. If there is a traffic jam or something, it may be troublesome. If there is a problem in the future, you have to find a special veterinarian, not like us who are half-way through."

The owner smiled and replied, "If you count as half-way through, then we have learned nothing. Anyway, thank you for the help of Dr. Lu tonight."

Lu Jingxing turned around and took the noodles handed to him by others: "It's a small matter. If there is such a situation again next time, please contact me again."

While eating noodles, a message popped up on Lu Jingxing's mobile phone. It was sent by Ji Ling.

"Where did you go wild again? You didn't go home in the middle of the night." Accompanied by an angry cat emoticon.

"No wild, I just treated a sick calf and now I am staying here to eat noodles." Afraid that Ji Ling would not believe it, he took out his mobile phone to record a short video.

"When can you treat calves? I thought you were good at treating small animals, but I didn't expect you could treat such a big one." Ji Ling was shocked across the screen.

"All veterinarians have to learn to treat poultry. Pets are for breeding, but poultry is for the benefit of mankind. It is impossible to say that you don't know any knowledge..." Lu Jingxing said.

"You run around every day, come back early to rest." Ji Ling knew that there was nothing she could do with this workaholic, so she could only persuade him.

"OK, I'll be home soon." After turning off the phone, Lu Jingxing took another big mouthful of noodles.

This taste of home has indeed been tasted for a long time. The taste between his lips and teeth reminded him of the bowl of noodles his mother made for him when he was a child after studying hard. Like the noodles in front of him, there were two eggs in them.

Every time Lu Jingxing saved the eggs for last, he especially liked the sweetness of the last bite.

Before leaving, Lu Jingxing only collected some money symbolically, mainly because he didn't know how to calculate the price. After all, he didn't use any equipment or talk about the cost, and he ate other people's noodles. Lu Jingxing also came back with a basket of local eggs.

"It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation!" he sighed.

When he returned home, Lu Jingxing fell into the arms of the sofa. Looking at the halo on the ceiling, he couldn't help but start to be dazed.

"It seems that I am really tired." He muttered to himself and lost consciousness.

The next morning, when Lu Jingxing woke up, he inexplicably went from the sofa to the bed, and was still covered with a quilt.

Picked up the phone and saw that it was already past nine o'clock.

Lu Jingxing got up from the bed in a daze, and even saw the breakfast bag prepared for him on the table.

After confirming again and again that he was not in a dream, he sat at the dining table, and there was a small note on the table.

"Brother is so tired that he fell asleep. Remember to take care of yourself and remember to eat breakfast-Chenchen and Xixi"

"These two little guys have grown up." Lu Jingxing felt warm in his heart.
