Start at the pet store

"Bamao, you're done. Everyone says that to you..." Lu Jingxing reached out and gave Bamao a melon seed. Bamao looked at him with a sidelong look.

"Meow, ah..." He showed his dissatisfaction to the fullest.

Xiao Sun came up to him and reported to him about the daily life of the store today: "Today, a grandfather who called himself Ouyang came to see you. He saw that you were not here. He stayed in the cattery for a long time..."

"Grandpa Ouyang? Is he in good health? He came by himself?" Lu Jingxing hadn't contacted the old man for a long time. He didn't even know when he was discharged from the hospital. He was ashamed.

"I think he's in good health, but his hands are a little trembling, like Parkinson's disease?" Xiao Sun said, and sent a photo to Lu Jingxing. He took a photo when the old man was with the cats in the cattery and showed it to Lu Jingxing.

"Okay, I know. There are more than 20 cats in the cattery that belong to him. Some of them have been adopted out. I guess he wants to come and see the little guys. Are you satisfied when you go back?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Not bad, he looks very happy..." Xiao Sun said with a smile.

"Okay, is there anything else? Where's Xiao Liu? Yes, Xiao Liu should recognize him if he sees him. When we first went to his house to get a cat for sterilization, Xiao Liu went with us." He remembered.

"Doctor Xiao Liu has been busy today and has hardly come out. He is sterilizing a cat now. There is another one today..." Xiao Sun flipped through the records.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay, got it... I'll go back to the office first. If there are medical records, leave them with me..." He said as he walked to the office.

Ji Ling had already taken Ba Mao to the backyard while they were talking.

Lu Jingxing returned to the office and washed his face. As soon as he sat down, Xiao Sun brought a male customer in.

"Hello, please sit down..." Lu Jingxing immediately put on a professional smile: "Does your pet need any help?"

The male customer probably didn't expect the doctor in this big hospital to be so enthusiastic. He was slightly surprised and immediately put the cage on his desk: "Oh, then please help me take a look at my Xiaobai. I came here specially from Luoning. I went to see our pet shop. The doctor said it was difficult to treat and asked me to go to a big hospital. I asked around. Yours is bigger in Longan..."

The man had a heavy accent. When Lu Jingxing heard him speak, he could hear a Luoning flavor.

Luoning is a county adjacent to Longan. It is not much smaller than Longan, but the accent is really heavy. It is said that even if you speak Mandarin, you will have a strong Luoning accent.

This is indeed well-deserved.

Fortunately, the man didn't speak fast. If he spoke fast, Lu Jingxing probably wouldn't understand. Even so, he still guessed and understood the meaning.

"Okay, let me see..." Lu Jingxing opened the cage.

Inside was a rural tabby cat, with light gray and dark brown fur, eyes wide open, and a very cute look.

As soon as the door was opened, the little guy didn't run out immediately like Ba Mao and the others, but shrank back inside, and made a meow...

However, with this color, how could he be called Xiaobai? Xiaohui and Xiaohei seemed more suitable.

"Xiaobai?" Lu Jingxing couldn't help but repeat it.

"Well, I have another white cat at home. I call the white cat Xiaohui and Xiaobai. I think it's quite fun. Others always call it the opposite, hehe..." The man laughed when he thought of this.

Then he quickly said: "Well, it's a little shy, Xiaobai, come out, don't be afraid, Dad is here..." The man quickly reached out and took the little guy out.

Because the man took it out, the little guy didn't resist, and was caught out very obediently.

After coming out, he stared around and leaned towards the man's hand.

Coughed from time to time.

"Looking at its teeth, it should be more than three years old, right? Is it usually raised in the wild?" Lu Jingxing looked at its teeth and other basic features, and had a general understanding in his mind.

"Yes, it's more than three years old and almost four years old. It is indeed raised in the wild..." The man helped to catch Xiaobai and let Lu Jingxing check him.

"Well, I went to see a doctor in our county. Because the doctor said that we need to take an X-ray and do a B-ultrasound, which we don't have, so I came here specially. It used to be raised in the wild. The doctor asked me to observe its defecation and other conditions in the past few days, so I have kept it in the cage these two days..." The man said hurriedly.

When he spoke quickly, Lu Jingxing had to guess a lot of things, but he guessed roughly.

Lu Jingxing listened carefully. Xiaobai was breathing with his abdomen, and his stomach was breathing in and out. It felt very hard to breathe every time.

His stomach was also relatively large.

It felt like peritonitis.

"Did your doctor say what the possible reason was? How long has it been like this?" He said that he had been observing it for two days, so it must have been at least three days.

"About four days. I went to our hospital the next day after I found it sick. He said he thought it was feline infectious peritonitis, but he couldn't be sure. Then the doctor asked me to observe for two days. I went yesterday and he told me to come here to find a big hospital. So, um, it's been four days... Is it too late?" The man looked at Lu Jingxing's expression carefully. When he heard him ask this, he seemed to realize that it seemed a bit too long.

Lu Jingxing nodded. He also thought it was a bit like infectious peritonitis: "Let's check it first, take it to the treatment room, shave the hair on the belly first, and do a B-ultrasound..." He immediately wrote a prescription.

Xiaobai's belly can't be touched at all. If anyone wants to put their hands on its belly, it will struggle desperately.

Its symptoms are indeed very similar to those of abdominal distension, but not exactly the same. Lu Jingxing is not sure. No matter how powerful he is, he has to take pictures first.

The man nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Oh, okay..."

He took the form and simply scanned the code to pay the fee, then followed Lu Jingxing to the treatment room.

It must be the first time for the little guy to shave, so he was a little nervous and kept struggling.

Lu Jingxing touched its head: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, be good, I'm treating you. Are you feeling very uncomfortable..."

Hearing Lu Jingxing's voice, the little guy opened his big eyes and raised his head to look at him in disbelief. He forgot to retract his limbs. He raised his head with his head tilted up and looked at him stupidly.

Taking advantage of its daze, Lu Jingxing quickly shaved off the fur on its belly.

"Meow...it hurts..." Xiaobai took a while to react and said to Lu Jingxing.

It can't eat these days, and it hurts countless times a day, but it's useless to scream, it's so uncomfortable.

"Okay, I know you're in pain. Let's do a check-up to see what the problem is and whether it can be cured..." After shaving the fur, Lu Jingxing put away the knife and touched its head again, preparing to take it with him. It goes to the ultrasound room.

The man also looked at his little white with a puzzled look on his face. It was a social fear, and its belly was absolutely not allowed to be touched. If it was touched, it would fight to the death.

I have been to the county pet hospital several times before, and I was extremely scared every time. Today, it seems that I am not afraid of this doctor at all, and I feel like I am looking for him to stick to.

"Just wait outside. I'll take it with you for the rest of the examinations..." Lu Jing walked to the ultrasound room and said.

"Don't you need me to follow it in to appease it? I'd better accompany it, it's very shy..." the man said worriedly.

"It's okay. Look, it's not afraid of me now. Besides, the radiation in the filming room is high. Don't worry, I will take good care of it. It won't take long." Lu Jingxing said softly.

"Yeah, why does Xiaobai seem to trust you? I took it to our place, and it was howling like a ghost..." the man said with a smile.

Lu Jingxing smiled and took Xiaobai inside.

Because of the communication, Xiaobai behaved very well and stayed still when asked not to move, and cooperated very well with Lu Jingxing's inspection.

Because only ultrasound examination and X-rays were done, the results came out very quickly.

After seeing the result, Lu Jingxing's expression was a little solemn. When Ji Ling arrived at the office, she saw his frown.

"What's wrong? Is it serious? Xiao Sun said it's like a cat spreading from the belly, but it doesn't look like it?" Ji Ling knew that if a cat spread from the belly, Lu Jingxing wouldn't have such an expression. The current cat spreading from the belly is not a big problem for him. Basically, everything can be cured.

Lu Jingxing stared at the computer screen and shook his head: "No..."

"What's going on? Your expression is not friendly..." Ji Ling came over, lay on his shoulder and looked at the computer together: "Is this intestine leaking into the chest?"

"Yes..." Lu Jingxing looked at her with approval: "Yes, I can see the problem at a glance. Please help me call the owner over. I need to explain to him that this requires surgery..."

Ji Ling quickly stood up straight: "Okay, I'll call him right away..." and ran out quickly.

Soon he brought Xiaobai and his owner in.

Ji Ling took Xiaobai from his hand and said, "Sit over there and Dr. Lu will explain the situation to you in detail..."

Seeing that several people were serious, he quickly handed Xiao Bai to Ji Ling, then sat down close to Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing opened the film and explained to him carefully: "I just watched it. It's not transmitted to the abdomen. Here, you see, the intestines leaked into the chest cavity. The normal chest cavity and abdominal cavity are separated. There is a Laminated..."

"There is a barrier, right..." The man nodded and then interjected.

"Ah, yes, yes, its current problem is that its diaphragm has ruptured, its diaphragm has ruptured, and its organs that were originally in the abdominal cavity have gone to the chest cavity..." After Lu Jingxing finished speaking, he turned back and glanced at the man. , give him time to digest this content.

"Oh, there is such a thing. How do we do this?" The man asked anxiously after hearing this.

"Its current condition has also put a lot of pressure on the heart and lungs. According to its condition, it must be operated on immediately." Lu Jingxing told him.

Xiaobai broke away from Ji Ling's arms and climbed into the cage.

The man looked at Xiaobai with a sad look on his face: "Can this surgery cure it? How much will it cost?"
