Chapter 1069 Life and Death Rally

After Lu Jingxing slept for a while, a volunteer came to him and said that the leaders from Mingzhou were coming.

Because Chen Mianmian was exhausted and looked for a place to rest, everyone came directly to call him and asked him to discuss with the local leaders of Mingzhou what to do next about this matter.

The impact of this matter was quite large. The person who came was the district chief, and Lu Jingxing hadn't thought of a better solution for the time being. He just reported the result of their discussion early in the morning to the leaders here.

Because there were so many of them, the district chief immediately made several phone calls and told Lu Jingxing, "We only have so much space here, and we are really overwhelmed. The main thing is that we dare not easily hand them over to such immature social receiving places. But as you said, there is a stray cat adoption center near Mingzhou.

I have indeed confirmed that they are almost saturated, and now we have already transferred food and manpower, but we still need you to work hard for a few more days to help us get through these few days."

The district chief spoke very sincerely, and everyone felt better after hearing it.

At least it's not unattended.

Several places in the vicinity that Lu Jingxing contacted that had some receiving capabilities also responded to his messages one after another. Roughly speaking, they could receive about three to four hundred of them.

Although there are still big discrepancies in the numbers, overall it is still a relatively good result.

Everything went as planned. Lu Jingxing stayed at the scene for two days. Because the store had an operation scheduled, he left Situ Fang and Ji An there and returned to Long'an with Yang Pei.

We also need to be prepared to possibly take over some of the people. After the local authorities get involved, he won't be able to stay there forever.

After returning, he held a meeting and gave instructions to the cattery, asking them to vacate some space so that if the situation was not handled properly, he would take over.

He returned to his office, slumped down on his chair, leaned back, and finally came back.

"Meow..." Just when he wanted to take a break, Ba Mao came in leisurely.

Maybe it's because it has been too long since I last saw him. When the little guy saw him on the chair, he suddenly stopped walking leisurely. He looked unbelievable, then raised his tail and trotted towards him: "Meow...Brother is back..."

I don't know how sweet that sound is.

Lu Jingxing was also healed by its long meow. He smiled, opened his arms, and caught the little guy: "Bamao, you miss your brother."

After the little guy jumped up, he kept nudging his head into his hands, making “meow meow meow… where have you been, brother?”

"Brother, I'm going to rescue the kittens. Soon you will be the team leader and lead many cats." In the cattery, those who came first always lead the later ones. Old employees like Ba Mao haven't led newcomers for a long time.

Normally, they just take in a few of them, so there is no need for these big guys to help.

But this time it’s different. There are hundreds of them coming, and Ba Mao and the others will definitely have to restart.

Ba Mao didn't understand what Lu Jingxing meant, but there was no problem in letting it lead the team. If there was a beautiful little calico, it would be even happier.

It greedily licked him with its tongue and nudged him with its head.

"What about Xiao Zuanfeng and the others? Are they all obedient?" Lu Jingxing stroked Bamao while asking about the other little guys.

Bamao was obviously unhappy: "Meow..."

"Haha, okay, okay, you're still jealous, right? You can't even ask, right?" Lu Jingxing also laughed.

The man and the cat were being affectionate with each other, and when they mentioned the devil, he appeared. Xiao Zuanfeng and Jiaziyin also walked in, wagging their tails and marching in step.

The three little guys had the same expression, and when they saw Lu Jingxing, they couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes.

Xiao Zuanfeng was a bit reserved after all, so he was a step slower and fell behind Jiaziyin.

Jiaziyin jumped a few times, and without caring whether Lu Jingxing was prepared or not, he jumped onto him.

Each of the little guys now weighs more than ten pounds. All three of them jumped onto him at once, and the stool Lu Jingxing was sitting on took several steps back before he could barely stand.

Bamao was not happy. He had finally managed to get a spot, but two guys came over to snatch it away. He frowned and said angrily, "Fufufu... Aoao..."

Xiao Zuanfeng hit it on the head.

Xiao Zuanfeng is the type of person who either doesn't take action, or once he does, he will make you remember it.

Ba Mao was stunned by it for a moment. As a gentleman, we should use words instead of fists, so I didn’t do anything.

"Woo woo woo...it hit me..." Not only did it not attack, it also started to act coquettishly towards Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. When he saw Xiao Zuanfeng taking action, he didn't even have time to stop him. But he didn't expect that Ba Mao didn't fight back.

"Xiao Zuanfeng, this is where you're wrong. How could you hit someone? I told you not to..." Lu Jingxing pretended to be angry.

"Who told it to chatter? We're not taking up its place..." Xiao Zuanfeng glared at Bamao with a fierce look.

"Fufu... Woo woo..." Bamao glanced at Xiao Zuanfeng, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"Oh, this is not right. When did you become so afraid of Xiao Zuanfeng?" Lu Jingxing felt as if he had missed something. Was there anything that happened in between that he didn't know?

But the little guys were unwilling to answer his question. The clamp even stepped on his belly and made a "gurgling" sound in his throat.

Lu Jingxing couldn't laugh or cry.

But because he hadn't played with them for quite a while, he still played with the little guys very attentively for a long time.

The little ones didn't even ask for cans, as if they were content as long as he played with them.

In the end, Lu Jingxing felt bad for the little ones and opened a can of food for each one.

As for the lion cats that didn't come into the office, I'm sorry, they can only leave them as they are, and there won't be any separate cans for them.

He stayed in the office the whole afternoon playing with the little guys. When there were no customers, he would sit on the floor behind his desk, enjoying this rare leisure time.

"Brother Lu, Lu..." Suddenly, he heard a very urgent shout.

The office door opened for a moment and then suddenly closed again. The sound came as the person who came in ran out again.

Lu Jingxing quickly stood up, trotted out, opened the door that was bounced back by the person who had just called him, and shouted outside: "I'm here..."

It was Xiaopang. He heard Lu Jingxing's response and hurried back...

"Brother Lu, hurry, hurry, the ragdoll cat that Brother Liu just examined is now in the observation room because he is waiting for the results. I just took a look and it seems to be in a bad condition. Brother Liu is going to do another operation now..." He pulled Lu Jingxing and ran, explaining the situation as he ran.

Lu Jingxing put the pen in his hand into his pocket and quickly followed Xiaopang to the observation room.

Xiaopang ran in front and ran to the innermost cat cage. As soon as he opened the cage door, Lu Jingxing pushed him aside, stuck his head in, and immediately picked him up and ran to the treatment room. The little guy was now in shock.

Lu Jingxing first performed emergency CPR on the little guy, then after a while he intubated it to give it oxygen, and then continued to perform CPR.

Everything was done in a race against time. At this time, Xiao Liu and Xiao Jiu had both gone to the operating room, and he didn't even have any extra helpers.

I could only press the pulse myself while checking the little guy's condition on the monitor.

"Is it dying?" the owner started crying outside.

Lu Jingxing raised his head: "Please let the master in..."

This will be a rescue, not surgery, so the owner can come in.

When Xiaopang heard this, he immediately ran to call his owner in.

Finally, after Lu Jingxing persisted in pressing for more than ten minutes, the little guy's breath was finally restored.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jingxing shook his sore hands and asked about the little guy's condition.

“Doctor Liu just said that the problem is caused by urinary retention, but the results are not yet out of the blue as to what the problem is, so he is not sure yet. He just didn’t expect it to be so serious…” The owner stroked his kitten with heartache and burst into tears.

"Then I'll go see if the results are out..." Seeing that the little guy had recovered, Lu Jingxing said to his owner.

The reason why Lu Jingxing let the owner in during the treatment was that he saw that the little guy seemed to have heard his owner's crying. The moment his owner cried, he half-closed his eyes and then tried to look towards the door.

This time, his eyes never left his master.

Maybe it feels that it doesn't have much time left to look at its owner, so its eyes seem to be glued to its owner.

Lu Jingxing felt that the little guy really knew everything.

He asked Xiaopang to fetch all the results.

The more he looked at the results, the more his heart sank.

This is severe acute renal failure caused by urinary retention, and all indicators are seriously off the charts.

Creatinine, urea nitrogen, and electrolyte indicators were all off the charts, with severe acidosis, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and hypochloremia...

Any of these could kill it.

Moreover, its kidneys were swollen, its bladder was full of blood, and it was severely dehydrated and inflamed. The best time for treatment had been missed.

Every time Lu Jingxing asked a question, the master was at a loss.

He didn't even understand why everything happened so suddenly. The little guy was fine at home in the morning.

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "It's impossible that it was fine this morning. It has had these symptoms for several days, but you may not have noticed it."

"Ah, then, can it still be saved?" The owner burst into tears after hearing so many questions.

Xiao Liu performed surgery on another cat and it came out.

Hearing the noise, he immediately ran over: "Master, I saw the result. It has been delayed for too long and cannot be cured."

He looked at the examination he had done on the little guy. Before entering the operating room, he had already given the little guy an injection for conservative treatment. According to his guess, the little guy could only hold on for about two hours at most.

Lu Jingxing glanced at him, then pulled him out of the treatment room and asked, "You mean you had already seen these results before entering the operating room, right?"

Xiao Liu nodded: "Yes, I looked at all its indicators. It is no longer suitable for surgery and there is no need for treatment. The main reason is that the owner came too late."

Lu Jingxing remained noncommittal. He admitted that what Xiao Liu said was indeed true. Judging from the little guy's current indicators and these test results, perhaps the best way would be to let it have a past with as little pain as possible.

Seeing that Lu Jingxing also agreed with what he said, Xiao Liu followed him out and looked at their master pitifully and said, "Sorry, don't expect it. There really can't be a miracle this time. It has acute renal failure, and it's severe. The best time for treatment has been missed. Even if a god came, there would be nothing he could do..."

He was not one to beat around the bush, and another reason he said that was that he was angry at the owner for delivering the food so late.

Lu Jingxing didn't say anything to him. He understood his feelings. For a doctor, it was the most difficult thing to accept to watch the cat in his hands die in front of him.

"Woo, woo, is there really no way?" The owner was heartbroken.

"Leave it to me..." Lu Jingxing stared at the checklist for a while, then suddenly stood up straight: "Take it to the operating room."

Xiao Liu suddenly became alert: "Master? Is there any help?"

"How do you know if you don't try..." Lu Jingxing said.

Xiao Liu quickly ran in, picked up the little guy, and said to his owner, "There is hope. You wait outside."

The owner was still in shock. Didn't he just say there was no hope? Why was the doctor so happy all of a sudden?

Seeing their master and apprentice carrying their baby into the operating room, she was still a little confused. She pulled the fat boy who was about to follow him into the operating room and said, "Doctor, doctor, what does this mean?"

"It means that your little Mi can be saved. You can wait and sign the consent form for the surgery." Xiaopang said.

"Ah? Really? You don't say it's hopeless?" the owner asked in disbelief.

"So do you want to save him or not?" Xiaopang asked back.

"Of course I have to save him, of course. Do I even need to ask?" The owner spoke incoherently, but he didn't care about Xiaopang's attitude.

"You, Xiao Mi, are lucky today. Our Brother Lu just came back. As long as Brother Lu says there is hope, then there is definitely hope. So, you just wait here. They don't have time to talk to you too much, because the little guy is seriously ill and time is life." Xiao Pang was relieved after hearing this. He was afraid that once the rescue started, the owner would give up again.

"Oh, thank you so much, thank you so much, I'll wait here, I'll always wait here." The owner couldn't help feeling mixed emotions of sadness and joy after hearing this.

She thought she would never see Xiao Mi again, but unexpectedly, there was a silver lining and Xiao Mi could be saved.

Soon, Xiao Liu asked Xiao Pang to take out the consent form for the surgery. This time, the owner did not ask any more questions, signed it readily, and then looked at the operating room eagerly.

In the operating room, Lu Jingxing performed the operation himself, and he and Xiao Liu raced against time in a life-and-death race...
