Chapter 919 Explain and Explain Again

Lu Jingxing gently lifted the little guy. Its feet could move slightly, but its forelimbs were completely immobile. Only its eyes were relatively flexible.

"Has this situation been going on for more than a month?" Lu Jingxing frowned slightly.

"Yes, when it fell from the upstairs, I took it to the hospital immediately, but the doctor only gave it some treatment at that time and didn't dare to do an operation. It has been like this ever since, and it's getting worse..." The owner rubbed his hands and looked at the little guy lying straight on the table with some heartache.

Lu Jingxing shook his head.

"It can't eat. For more than a month, I have had to inject food into its throat little by little with a syringe, and it would slowly swallow it. Seeing that it really had no strength, I went back to give it nutritional injections, but keeping it hanging all the time is not a solution. It's pitiful, and I..." The owner shook his head helplessly.

Hearing his master say this, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but look up and take a closer look at him. To be able to do this, he was already very good.

The owner saw Lu Jingxing suddenly look up at him, thinking that he had done something wrong, and quickly said: "I really tried my best. The doctors over there said that surgery is not possible. It's not that I don't want to treat it. Also, it can't control its urination and defecation at all. I have to help it manually..."

As he spoke, he skillfully took out a paper pad from his bag, put it on the ground, and then picked up the little guy: "This is how I take it to the toilet every day. In order to prevent it from peeing on its tail, I always lift its tail up first, and then help it pee like this..."

I saw him holding the little guy's upper body with one hand, holding its butt with the other hand, and pinching its tail with one finger to lift it up.

"When it pees, you have to use this posture, and then pinch this place with this hand. I am half a doctor now. You can find its bladder with your thumb, which is this round ball, and then squeeze it gently..." He explained while operating.

As he squeezed, the little guy urinated in a parabolic shape.

"You see, this way, its urine still has some strength..." the owner smiled.

The little guy's hind legs swung due to inertia.

"I'm afraid it's about to poop. Doctor Lu, should I take care of it here?" He looked at Lu Jingxing with some embarrassment.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "It's okay, it's okay to leave it here, I'll ask someone to clean it up later..." He said, he also wanted to see how the owner cleaned the poop for the little guy.

"Oh, okay, its poop doesn't smell bad, because it didn't eat much. I'll pull it down a little and try to let it poop on this mat..." The man's movements were skillful and it seemed that he had performed this action many times.

He started talking to himself again: "If I poop, it's here..." He held the little guy's belly with his right hand, and pointed with his left middle finger to the position halfway up the little guy's belly: "The poop is in this position, I can find it by just using my hand and pinching there..." He just kneaded it gently a few times.

Soon a pile of poop fell out of the little guy's butt.

The little guy, who had not reacted until now, suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that he could feel the discomfort of his bloating.

After the man cleaned the poop for the little guy, he took out a wet tissue from his bag with one hand and wiped the little guy's butt, then looked at Lu Jingxing: "Sorry, I'll clean it up right away..."

Lu Jing shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay. I can see that you really love it. Although it unfortunately fell like this, it is very lucky to have an owner like you..."

The man put the little guy on the table, bent down and wrapped up the paper pad on the ground, without any expression of disgust.

"Alas, I raised it to this size in more than a month. Normally, it was very well behaved and always stuck to me at home. It was my fault for being careless that it fell. The windows of my house are seldom opened. What I regret most is that I didn't install window guards. Normally, even if the windows are opened, it would just lie inside the window to bask in the sun. That afternoon, I don't know what happened. I was standing in front of the window with it. It was sleeping soundly, and suddenly it jumped out of the window. I didn't have time to react, and it just fell out..." The man was very annoyed and threw the paper pad into the trash can while speaking.

Lu Jingxing pointed to the pool next to him.

The man immediately walked over, washed his hands, and wiped them on his clothes.

"In this case, there is usually some butterfly or dragonfly outside that makes it forget that it is lying on the window, and then it jumps away..." Lu Jingxing analyzed.

"Yes, yes, that's probably the case, or it could be a ghost..." The man nodded repeatedly.

"That's impossible. Let me take an X-ray of it first. We need to do a CT scan or an MRI. Otherwise, it's hard to determine the condition. Let's do an MRI, which is more intuitive. Because after a CT scan, if surgery is needed, we will still need an MRI. A CT scan can only be a preliminary confirmation of its condition..." Lu Jingxing gently stroked the little guy's head.

The man was still digesting his words: "In that case, let's just do an MRI..."

Lu Jingxing explained: "It's like this, MRI is quite expensive. If a CT scan can confirm that the surgery is not necessary, then there is no need to do an MRI. There is no need to waste the money..."

The little guy hasn't even cried out once from the beginning to now, let alone Lu Jingxing communicating with it.

So, in this case, we can only use instruments to check.

"What do you think? What do you think is the reason for this?" The man looked at Lu Jingxing with anticipation.

Lu Jingxing shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say. Based on my experience, it should be an injury to the neck, dislocation or something else. We really need an MRI to know..." He said without much certainty.

"What if my neck is injured? Can I have surgery?" the man asked unwillingly.

"The surgery can definitely be done, but without seeing the film, I can't tell you how confident I am..." Lu Jingxing said cautiously.

"Then let's do an MRI. As long as it can be saved, I'll take the extra money..." The man waved his hand generously.

Lu Jingxing couldn't help but look at the man with admiration again.

In reality, there are not many owners who can take such good care of their children and are so generous in paying for their medical treatment.

"Okay, then you go to the front desk to pay, and I'll arrange the inspection right away." Lu Jingxing wrote out the bill and handed it to the man. The man glanced at the little guy on the table and went straight to the front desk.

Lu Jingxing took the kitten, whose owner called Yaoer, to do an MRI.

They are the only one MRI machine in the whole Long'an, but because the examination fee is so high, it is usually not used for several days. Therefore, as long as there is a need for an examination and the preparatory work is done, it can be done almost immediately without waiting in line or anything.

But the results will be much slower than CT.

After the MRI, Lu Jingxing gave the little guy a nutritional injection and arranged for its owner to accompany it: "Please wait here first. It will take more than two hours for the results to come out. I have an operation. I will come to you after the results come out..."

"No problem, no problem, go ahead..." The man waved his hands repeatedly, looking as if he was afraid of delaying Lu Jingxing's business.

Lu Jingxing did have an operation to perform, which was to extract all the teeth of the cat that had stomatitis yesterday.

Xiao Liu has already made the preliminary preparations for the operation.

Just waiting for Lu Jingxing to get on the operating table.

Seeing that everything was arranged, he went straight into the operating room.

Extracting all the teeth was nothing new to Lu Jingxing, but it was the first time for Xiao Liu, who had only been a doctor for a short time. "Master, do I have to extract all the teeth?" he asked.

Lu Jingxing wanted to hit him with a stick. It would be fine if others asked the question, but he was a doctor, and he actually asked the same question.

He said unhappily, "What if I leave two and let them continue to stink in my mouth?"

"It does smell a bit smelly. I can still smell it even with a mask on..." Xiao Liu said somewhat exaggeratedly.

"It still stinks now?" Lu Jingxing glared at him.

"Of course it doesn't stink now, it's numb. I mean when I brought it in..." Xiao Liu said with a smile.

"Let's start..." Lu Jingxing picked up the hand pliers and started working on the first one.

When he was almost halfway through, Xiao Liu couldn't help but said eagerly: "Master, how about I do the rest..."

Lu Jingxing narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Okay, then you do it. Pay attention to my actions just now, remember?"

"I remember, I remember..." Xiao Liu nodded repeatedly.

Lu Jingxing stepped back and gave up the microscope.

"You must find all the teeth carefully. If you don't find all of them, a second operation will be needed and the little guy will have to take anesthesia again, which will be very painful for him." Lu Jingxing reminded Xiao Liu when he saw that he had approached the microscope.

"Okay, got it..." Xiao Liu said as he started the operation.

Outside the operating room, the owner looked up at the surgical light from time to time. Although Lu Jingxing told her that there would be no problem and that the operation would take two hours, she still couldn't help but worry.

This is a full mouth tooth extraction. I almost lost my life when I had two wisdom teeth extracted. I don’t know if there is much difference between tooth extraction in animals and humans.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder. Yes, why didn't she ask the doctor if there was a big difference? If it was like pulling out a tooth for a human, then her little baby would be hopeless.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She kept pacing back and forth in front of the operating room, with a thick layer of sweat on her back.

Finally, the lights in the operating room went out.

Lu Jingxing walked out first.

The woman immediately went to meet him. Seeing that Lu Jingxing came out alone, she burst into tears: "Did the operation fail? I knew it. My wisdom tooth cost me half my life. It must be dead with all its teeth. Woohoo, why didn't I ask if this would be dangerous? Woohoo, I am so stupid..."

Lu Jingxing, who had just finished the operation and was a little tired, was a little confused by the sudden crying.

It took him a while to react: "It didn't fail. The operation was successful..."

He looked at the cat owner in astonishment, who was crying bitterly, and didn't understand what was wrong with her.

"Really, it's not dead?" After hearing this, the owner stared at Lu Jingxing with tearful eyes.

Lu Jingxing frowned slightly: "How could he die? Didn't I explain so much to you?"

He was helpless. He had spent half a day explaining to the owner yesterday. Why was she still so excited? He couldn't understand.

"Woo, I remember my own experience of having wisdom teeth pulled out. I almost died at that time. I only pulled out two teeth, but it had a full mouth. It's terrifying to think about it. I was so anxious looking at it at that time that I forgot about my own situation. Otherwise, I would never let it be pulled out..." The owner shrank his nose and looked towards the operating room: "You said it was fine, then why didn't it come out? Is it dead?"

Lu Jingxing sighed helplessly: "Don't worry, there's really no problem. Its operation was very successful. It didn't come out with me because we have a doctor watching it inside. It still needs to wake up from the anesthetic. When it wakes up, the anesthetic will come out. Just be at ease and wait for a while..."

"Don't lie to me..." The woman saw that the door of the operating room was closed and she could not see anything, so she looked at Lu Jingxing again.

"Why would I lie to you? What's the point of me lying to you just now? If something really goes wrong, can I deceive you?" Lu Jingxing said in his heart that he couldn't understand these women's thinking. He didn't know what they were thinking. But, forget it, it's because they are worried about their little pets.

"Just sit there and wait. Our Doctor Liu will send it out to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber soon. You will be able to see it then. It's really going smoothly..." Lu Jingxing emphasized again.

"Okay, thank you, you've worked hard..." After hearing Lu Jingxing's repeated assurances that the baby was fine, the owner burst into tears and smiled.

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "Okay, I won't accompany you, I have something else to do..."

Seeing the woman standing in front of him and not ready to give way, Lu Jingxing said.

"Oh, I don't need you to accompany me, you go and do your own thing..." The woman immediately gave way half of her body.

Lu Jingxing walked past her with big strides. He came on time, and the results of the youngest child should have come out.

He went straight to the MRI room, and the results did come out.

As he picked up the film, his expression became more solemn the more he looked at it.

Before returning to the office, he went around to the observation room and called the youngest child's owner over: "The results are out, please come with me to the office..."

The youngest master quickly stood up and said, "Okay, can you save him?"

Lu Jingxing didn't reply and walked quickly towards the office.

The youngest master also followed in.

"Doctor Lu, is there really no hope for him?" The youngest child's master became even more unsure when he saw that Lu Jingxing didn't say anything.

Lu Jingxing turned on the film viewer: "Please sit down first, I will explain it to you..." Every operation has to be explained over and over again, alas, it's too difficult.

He didn't answer directly.

The owner of the youngest child immediately sat down as he was told: "It's okay. If it really can't be saved, it's okay. I've tried my best. It's too painful for it. Can you help me think of a way to comfort it?"

Lu Jingxing held his forehead with his hand: "I didn't say it couldn't be saved. Didn't I keep saying it and tell you the result?"
