start with a pet store

Chapter 1065 This is not in the stomach, nor in the intestines
Lu Jingxing frowned slightly and listened to what Situ Fang said. He stopped what he was doing, put the computer screen on standby, and then stood up: "Let's go..."

Situ Fang hurried over and opened the door: "In the treatment room, Brother Liu and the master are also here..."

Lu Jingxing nodded.

The two of them soon arrived at the treatment room. Xiao Liu saw Lu Jingxing raised his head and said, "Master..."

"What tests did you do?" He approached the treatment table, and the thin golden shaded cat looked at him pitifully with eyes full of grievance.

"We have done a lot of examinations on it. I don't know what the doctor who just came over did, but I brought a lot of the original documents with me..." The owner handed a thick stack of documents in his hand to Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing glanced through it briefly, then looked up at Xiao Liu: "What tests did you do?"

"We tested its blood and did an ultrasound, and the results were similar to its original condition, with severe inflammation, but we couldn't tell what was causing it. The owner said it had been treated for feline infectious peritonitis for more than a month, but I also took a closer look, and its symptoms didn't seem like feline infectious peritonitis..." Xiao Liu was also frowning at this moment.

This little guy made him feel very frustrated. Not only did he fail to find out the cause of its illness, he couldn't even find a clue.

Lu Jingxing put the documents aside and started checking the little guy directly.

This is a little female cat. She has not been sterilized and it seems that she has given birth to kittens before.

"How old is it? Has it given birth to kittens before?" Lu Jingxing asked while examining it.

"Oh, yes. It is a little over two years old now. It gave birth to a litter of five cubs a year ago. Because it was its first time giving birth, it had a difficult delivery, so we went to the pet hospital to give birth..." the owner said hurriedly.

"And it never gave birth again?" If it was a year ago, if it wasn't sterilized and no precautions were taken, and the owner didn't seem to be against it continuing to have babies, then why didn't it get pregnant again?

The owner shook his head: "Afterwards, it was sometimes good and sometimes bad. After the cubs were taken away one after another at two or three months old, it has been listless. The more it eats, the more it vomits. It has not gained any weight, so we didn't let it mate again..."

Lu Jingxing nodded: "The last time you gave birth, you had surgery, right? Have you had any other surgeries besides this?"

The owner shook his head again: "No, it was in good health before. We all think that it might have been pregnant with too many babies the first time, and had a difficult birth. As the saying goes in my hometown, I'm afraid it may have damaged its body during the birth, so it has been weak ever since... Doctor, is it really hopeless?"

Lu Jingxing smiled lightly: "It shouldn't be the case. If you say it's hopeless just because it can't be diagnosed, then I'm afraid this species would have been extinct long ago..."

"Well, well..." The owner felt hopeful when he heard this. You know, before coming here, he really didn't have much hope: "The main reason is that we have taken it to all kinds of hospitals, big and small. To be honest, the money we spent is enough to buy many cats like it. The main reason is that it is our first cat, so we are reluctant to give it up."

Lu Jingxing expressed his understanding: "Don't worry, no matter what, we have to find the cause of its illness first. There must be a reason for its vomiting, lethargy, and inflammation. As long as the cause is found, these should not be a big problem."

"Yes, yes, we've done so many tests on it, and other hospitals also said that it doesn't have any tumor, and there's nothing growing in its head. Logically, it should be curable. And we're actually very careful with it at home. It's never gone out, and we bathe it ourselves at home. My wife, in particular, is really very careful." The owner said excitedly after hearing what Lu Jingxing said.

You know, for the past six months, the whole family has been worried about this little guy. Seeing the little guy getting thinner and thinner, everyone feels bad, but we have done all the necessary checks and really don’t know what to do.

He was already prepared. If they couldn't find the reason here, then they would have to give up and treat it well, so that it could spend its last days in peace and with as little pain as possible.

"My wife left on a business trip early this morning. He vomited again last night. My wife was very worried when she left. We didn't want to take him out again. We have treated him too many times, and the result was the same every time. Sigh, but we really can't bear it. If you can't find out what's wrong with him, then he can only..."

The owner sighed slightly as he spoke, and his eyes were full of reluctance and despair as he looked at the little guy, as if he had already determined that it could not be cured.

"Don't jump to conclusions. Let my master take a look first..." When Situ Fang heard what Lu Jingxing said, he felt that there was hope. He laughed and said to his master.

The main reason is that the owner's thoughts are too decadent, which makes everyone in the room feel depressed.

Not only was the master in a low mood, he also made Xiao Liu frown. If he said a few more words, he would be infected too.

"Okay, I got it. Let's do another ultrasound check on it..." After Lu Jingxing understood the general situation, he said to Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu quickly responded: "Hey, okay, ultrasound? I just did that... How about a CT scan?"

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "No, just do the ultrasound, I'll do it..."

He said firmly.

So, Lu Jingxing and Xiao Liu went to the ultrasound room together.

Situ Fang then whispered to his master, "Do you know why my master said to do an ultrasound instead of a CT scan?"

"Ah, why?" The owner was confused.

"Because ultrasound is much cheaper than CT, and he must think that ultrasound can detect it, so he doesn't want you to waste more money..." Situ Fang played the role of a good guy and explained with a smile.

"Really? Your master is so nice..." The owner was a little flattered. In fact, they were just ordinary office workers. He would be reluctant to spend a lot of money on the cat, so he said that if the cat couldn't be cured this time, he would not treat it. The main reason was that his wallet really couldn't afford it.

Lu Jingxing actually saw this point.

Moreover, the little guy has no broken bones, so there is not much point in doing a CT scan. The other option is to do an MRI, but the price of an MRI is not affordable for most people.

In his opinion, ultrasound examination is the most appropriate.

Xiao Liu helped settle the little guy down, then returned to the ultrasound room. Lu Jingxing was already on the instrument.

"I've checked my stomach and intestines, and there seems to be no problem..." Xiao Liu stared at the monitor with wide eyes.

"Look, there's a foreign body here, but it doesn't seem to be in the intestines..." Lu Jingxing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, pointing to a spot shown on the ultrasound. "Ah? It's not in the stomach, nor in the intestines? In other words, it didn't swallow any foreign body?" Little Liu stood up and looked at the spot Lu Jingxing pointed out, with an expression of disbelief: "This, this, this... is it because the little guy didn't give birth cleanly?"

"It's possible. The owner said it had a difficult birth..." Lu Jingxing nodded. Although he said it was possible, he was actually 100% sure. It's just that the ultrasound couldn't fully show what that thing was. But according to what the owner said, he felt it was left over from the last birth.

"Okay, stop it, go tell the master about the situation..." Lu Jingxing stopped and let Xiao Liu finish the examination while he went to tell the master about the situation.

When the master heard Situ Fang's shout, he hurriedly followed him to Lu Jingxing's office.

"Hello, this is what happened. According to the examination we just did, we found that there was a foreign body in the baby's abdominal cavity. It was not in the intestines or the stomach, which means it was not swallowed. Based on what you said before, if it has not undergone any other surgery, we speculate that there is only one possibility. It is that there was something left over from the difficult delivery operation, which was left in its abdominal cavity, which caused it to be inflamed.

Cats are creatures that can tolerate pain very well, so it has been very pitiful over the past year or so." Lu Jingxing explained the situation to his owner.

The owner was stunned when he heard this: "Foreign body in the abdominal cavity? Then why couldn't we diagnose it after visiting so many clinics before?" He thought it was unbelievable.

"That's because our Doctor Lu is awesome..." Situ Fang smiled and touched his head.

Lu Jingxing rolled his eyes at him while wearing a mask, and his feet shook involuntarily. Well, actually, he felt that he was still a little bit awesome.

"It's really amazing..." The owner immediately gave a thumbs up: "What should we do now?" he asked after praising.

"It will be easy once we figure out the lesion. This is an abdominal infection, inflammation and perforation caused by a foreign body. We will need to perform a laparotomy. Now the examination cannot tell what the foreign body is. We need to perform a laparotomy to help take out the foreign body and then give it anti-inflammatory treatment..." Lu Jingxing tried to speak in a calm tone.

"Then...it won't die, right?" The owner still couldn't believe it. The problem that had troubled them for so long was solved so easily by Lu Jingxing?

"I will die, but it definitely won't be because of what happened this time. Maybe ten or twenty years later..." Lu Jingxing laughed.

It was just an open abdominal surgery, which was too easy for him. How could he let it die? This word was too unlucky, and he didn't like it at all.

"Haha, then I have to tell my wife the good news right away. Sorry, doctor, please arrange it..." The owner was almost crying with joy.

"Don't worry, let your wife rest assured. We will arrange the surgery for it right away. You go wait outside the operating room to pick it up." Lu Jingxing quickly decided on the surgical plan, told the owner everything, and asked him to sign the consent form for the surgery.

Taking the consent form, he turned around and walked towards the operating room.

When the owner's wife heard that the little guy had been saved, she wished she could skip work and come back just to wait together.

The owner quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, don't worry, the doctor has guaranteed that there will be no problem. It will take some time to go into the operation now. When you get home from get off work, you can just pick it up from the operating room."

Lu Jingxing walked out and could still hear his master comforting his lover from a distance.

You can already hear a sense of relaxation in that voice.

He had just confirmed one thing with the owner, that the little guy would be sterilized at the same time during the operation.

"We need to give it anesthesia for the laparotomy this time. You can consider whether to sterilize it at the same time to avoid it having to suffer the pain of anesthesia again next time. Of course, this is not mandatory. If you want it to continue giving birth to babies, you don't have to consider this." Lu Jingxing didn't say anything too final when he said this.

After all, the little guy is a very beautiful NY twelve-color golden shaded cat, and it is understandable if the owner wants to use it to breed more babies.

After all, the pedigree and price are there.

But before he could finish his words, the owner waved his hands again and again: "Don't think about it, don't think about it, you can do it for it, we don't want it to suffer like this anymore, we kept one of its babies, and in the future, if it wants to have another litter, let its baby have it and help it have another litter. It has suffered too much, my wife and I have discussed it, and we will not let it have babies anymore."

It is said that childbirth is a life-threatening experience for the mother, but he had never thought that he would actually experience it from a cat.

Now that the little one has been cured, they are already feeling extremely lucky. How could they expect it to risk its life to give birth again? He couldn't bear it, and his wife would not agree to it either.

Lu Jingxing nodded with satisfaction. He was happy for the little guy to have such a master.

So, before entering the operating room, he felt inexplicably happy, and even his steps became lighter.

"Master, you are smiling so blankly. Is this operation particularly easy? Doesn't it require an abdominal opening?" Situ Fang looked at Lu Jingxing's smiling face and asked with some confusion.

Lu Jingxing chuckled when he heard this: "Am I that obvious?"

Situ Fang and Xiao Liu nodded together: "Yes..."

"Haha, no, I was very happy because of the owner's attitude. This little guy is lucky. They have been checking for so long and haven't given up yet. They just said that they are willing to sterilize the little guy directly. I was very happy, so I was a little too happy. As for whether the operation is difficult..." He handed the knife to the two people: "How about you do it?"

Situ Fang and Xiao Liu moved in unison, a rare move. They both stepped back at the same time: "No, no, you should do it yourself."

Are you kidding? They don’t even know how to do an ultrasound examination. Let me ask them to perform an laparotomy. Although I’m not completely unsure, I’d better just watch honestly with such a skilled master in front of me.

Seeing the two people's little thoughts written on their faces, Lu Jingxing smiled: "Look at how promising they are. They already know where the lesion is. How difficult is this operation? Is laparotomy considered a major operation?"

"How about I give it a try?" Xiao Liu said bravely.

Lu Jingxing immediately handed him the knife: "Here..."

This is the best training opportunity, why not come? And with him watching, what can go wrong?
