1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 54: Human power is limited, but medicine is infinite

There is a separate yard far away from the camp, which is the military dog ​​team.

Lu Youyou had never run such a long distance in her two lives, and she was completely dragged along by Gu Qingye for the second half.

I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, my throat was full of the taste of blood, and I felt like I was almost dead after an 800-meter physical test.

Long-distance running, a torture suitable for Chinese babies.

"Are you okay? Do you want me to carry you?"

Lu Youyou dragged her legs, which were filled with lead. She was in extreme pain but she didn't dare to stop. She didn't have the strength to speak and could only shake her head.

If she got on Gu Qingye's back now, she would definitely collapse to the ground when she got down.

If you are tired, it is best to hold on. Don’t rest. If you rest, you will be exhausted.

Seeing her like this, Gu Qingye stopped talking and half-pulled and half-carried her to run the last few steps.

The people in the dog team were so anxious that they almost wore a hole in the flat ground. Now that they saw Lu Youyou, it was like they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

They had borrowed the book "Animal Husbandry Disease Care", which not only contained content about pig farming, but also contained a lot of reference for dog farming.

There is no professional veterinarian now, so a non-staff one will do. As long as the problem can be solved, Lu Youyou is the grandmother and it’s okay to worship her.

The young soldier looked at his close comrade in pain and felt so anxious that he wanted to cry.

Lightning was brought up by him and he had never been seriously ill. But today he suddenly stopped eating and drinking and started vomiting yellow water. His diarrhea was also bloody. Now he was lying on the ground with his back hunched and couldn't even stand up.

After listening to the young soldier describe the symptoms and observing the dog's condition for a while, Lu Youyou thought to herself that this was not good and that it looked very much like acute pancreatitis.

If treatment is delayed, vomiting blood and coma will follow.

Lu Youyou breathed heavily as if pulling a bellows: "Is there any vomit and excrement left? Let me see."

After a few more gasps, he continued, "What did you eat in the past 24 hours?"

She tried to speak as clearly as possible, as her current physical condition did not allow her to speak all the time.

The little soldier told everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Lu Youyou comforted the puppy while quickly checking its body.

Without equipment to do blood tests and biochemistry tests, or to read X-rays, she could only trust her own judgment.

"It's currently diagnosed as acute pancreatitis. I'm getting first aid. Does the health center have enteric-coated pancreatic enzyme tablets? Also, ulinastatin and omeprazole. Take whatever you have. I also need normal saline and vitamin B."

Lu Youyou was afraid that he couldn't remember it, so she wanted to write it down. Before he could open his mouth, she handed him paper and pen.

Since there was no table, Gu Qingye turned around and squatted down, letting Lu Youyou lean on his back to write.

The atmosphere in the room was tense and no one noticed, but several leaders standing outside the window saw this scene.

When Gu Qingye stood up, he saw the sightseeing group of bigwigs outside, and he trotted out and stood at attention to salute.

Lu Qiming waved his hand: "It's okay, you can go in and help Comrade Xiaolu."

Gu Qingye saluted again and quickly returned to the room.

The Chief of Staff laughed and said, "It's true that things are different after getting married. Xiao Gu wasn't like this before."

Jiang Tong remained silent. This was just the beginning. You haven't seen how Gu Qingye refused to give in for Lu Youyou in his office.

In the kennel, Lu Youyou gave injections and fed medicine. After all the busy work, Lightning was much better than before, at least he no longer hunched his back and twitched.

"Sister-in-law, I felt your temperature and it seems to have dropped a little." The young soldier said anxiously. He was extremely happy with even the slightest improvement.

"Yes, it's under control for now. Cough, we still need to continue observing, cough cough..."

The rusty taste in my throat has not yet dissipated, it is dry and astringent, and I feel like coughing when I speak.

Lu Youyou wiped the sweat from his forehead. His back was wet and his clothes were sticking to his body, which was very uncomfortable.

She finally had time to look around. Inside each fence was a dog, staring at her warily and curiously, not barking or moving, like little soldiers standing guard. Seeing so many adorable furry friends, Lu Youyou's nerves finally relaxed a little.

She glanced in Gu Qingye's direction and he came over immediately.

"what happened?"

"Is your Zhuifeng here too?"

"It has an assessment today and should be at the training ground now."

Lu Youyou understood.

Except for her, the extra-staff firefighter, everyone here, whether human or dog, has a job title.

But after getting paid, there are KPIs, and even dogs have to take exams. But her life is still fulfilling. She can be busy when she wants to and idle when she wants to.

After another hour of observation, the lightning basically stabilized.

"Pay close attention. Extrahepatic bile duct obstruction is a complication of acute pancreatitis. Jaundice may appear 3 to 7 days later, and drainage of the effusion may be necessary if necessary..."

Seeing the little soldier's eyes turn red, Lu Youyou said hurriedly, "It's just a minor operation, and it may not be used. It's better to send it to the veterinary station as soon as possible. They have a full range of medicines there, and having someone to take care of it will also help it recover."

The little soldier touched Lightning's head with heartache, and looked at Lu Youyou hopefully: "Will Lightning be the same as before after he recovers?"

Lu Youyou opened her mouth, wanting to say something but swallowed it back.

The light in the young soldier's eyes gradually faded. He couldn't believe that Lightning, who was as fast as the wind yesterday, might not be able to stay in the dog team in the future.

He rubbed his face fiercely and raised his head: "Sister-in-law, please tell me, I can accept it."

Lu Youyou also hopes that Lightning can recover, but even in later generations, the cure rate of acute pancreatitis is only 70-80%.

She could only speak the cruelest reality in the gentlest tone possible.

"This problem is difficult to cure. Most people can only recover from it until they can live a normal life. They also have to control their diet and may not be able to sustain high-intensity training."

Lu Youyou also felt sorry for the puppy, but there was nothing she could do. Some things were beyond human reach.

She couldn't help but comfort him: "Look at it from a bright side, at least its life is saved. It might be a good thing to have some ease and comfort in the future."

The little warrior lowered his head and kept touching Lightning's back.

Lightning seemed to understand what they said and struggled to get up.

Lu Youyou was startled and quickly held it down.

But military dogs are military dogs. Even if they are too sick to stand up, they still have great strength in kicking their legs.

Gu Qingye took a quick step forward and held down Lightning's limbs for her.

Lightning lay there, whimpering, as if trying to say that it was okay and that it would come back when it got better.

But it struggled for only a short while before it was exhausted, and the light in its eyes became dimmer and dimmer.

Many military dogs love their jobs from the bottom of their hearts. If they suddenly retire due to illness, not only the trainers will find it hard to accept, but the dogs themselves will also find it difficult to accept.

Lu Youyou couldn't bear to watch any longer.

There are always things that keep reminding her that human power is limited.

It is said that doctors become more and more numb as they witness life and death situations, but she wants to say that this is not the case. The more small animals she saves, the less willing she is to face such moments.

However, medicine is endless. If they contribute more, there will be fewer regrets.

She walked up to the puppy and gently touched its head.

"Isn't there still an 80% chance of success? Don't worry, keep going, Lightning!"
