There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

Chapter 101 Save My Dog's Life

The once noisy hall suddenly fell silent.

Lu Fang immediately got to work, hurriedly took the French Bulldog from the woman's hands, and led her into the consultation room.

"What's going on?"

"It started vomiting like crazy last night and can't even drink water. Now it can't even stand up," the woman said anxiously, stroking the French Bulldog's head repeatedly.

"Don't rush, let me take a look first."

Lu Fang skillfully examined the French Bulldog's pale eyelids, then gently palpated its abdomen.

When pressure was applied to a certain part of the intestines, the French Bulldog lying on the table let out a painful scream.

"There's a noticeable hard lump in its abdomen; it's severely dehydrated." Lu Fang frowned. "Did it eat something?"

"No, it's just playing by itself at home, doctor, it's not serious, is it?" The woman was clearly at a loss and couldn't provide any useful information.

"Dr. Liu, could you please take it for a DR and abdominal ultrasound now? I suspect it's an acute intestinal obstruction caused by a foreign object."

"

Five minutes later, the image results were transmitted to the computer.

The DR film clearly showed a circular, high-density shadow lodged in the French Bulldog's intestines, and the anterior segment of the intestines had already shown severe gas accumulation and dilation.

"It's like a rubber ball stuck in the jejunum. It's been there for too long; the intestinal tract may have already developed localized necrosis." Lu Fang immediately identified the problem and made a decisive judgment: "Prepare the operating room immediately for foreign body removal and intestinal anastomosis!"

He never expected that his pet hospital would perform its first surgery on its very first day of operation.

But it's also a good thing.

It's actually quite difficult to convert long-term customers of Hello Pet Shop and Ark Select into customers of pet hospitals, and the reason is quite simple.

Previously, the customers were relatively young, mainly doing pet-related businesses, buying snacks and pet supplies, but the core of the pet hospital is still surgery.

Although everyone knows that Lu Fang is a qualified veterinarian, they dare not easily entrust their dog's life to him.

If someone has a minor ailment like a headache or fever, I would definitely choose a well-established hospital like Meiji Pet Hospital, since safety is guaranteed.

However, if this first surgery can be done well, it will dispel the pet owner's doubts to some extent, and only then can Fangzhou Pet Hospital be considered to have truly established itself.

This surgery is very important.

Therefore, Lu Fang took the lead in surgery without hesitation, while Liu Cun served as the assistant and anesthesia monitor. The two quickly put on sterile gowns and stood on either side of the operating table.

Liu Cun looked at Lu Fang with great interest. He was a little curious about what kind of abilities this guy, who had stirred up a bloodbath in Tiancheng Community, had.

"Scalpel".

Lu Fang extended his hand, his voice steady.

Although he was working at Hello Pet Shop during this time, he didn't neglect his work in pet surgery.

Especially after deciding to open a pet hospital, he would read books related to pet surgery every night and do some simple activities to maintain his skills.

The moment Lu Fang took the scalpel, his aura completely changed. His gaze sharpened, and he precisely cut open the skin and subcutaneous tissue at the linea alba of the French Bulldog's abdomen. His movements were clean, efficient, and highly entertaining.

After locating the obstructed segment of the intestine, he realized the situation was a little worse than he had imagined.

Because the rubber ball had been pressing for too long, that section of intestine, about three centimeters long, had turned purplish-black and completely lost its activity.

"Remove the necrotic intestinal segment and perform an end-to-end anastomosis."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Fang calmly clamped both ends of the intestinal tract and, with a swift motion, cut off the necrotic part along with the rubber ball.

Next comes the intestinal anastomosis surgery, which is an extremely demanding test of a surgeon's basic skills.

If the sutures are not tight enough, intestinal leakage may occur after surgery, and the resulting peritonitis will have a 100% fatality rate.

If Zhong Yue were here, there would definitely be no problem.

A fleeting thought crossed Lu Fang's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Managing the current surgery is more important than anything else!

"3-0 absorbable sutures".

Lu Fang took the needle forceps, and under the bright operating light, Liu Cun's pupils contracted slightly.

He watched in disbelief as Lu Fang's hands moved like butterflies among flowers, manipulating the suture needle to precisely penetrate the serosa, muscle layer, and submucosa of the intestine.

The stitch spacing and edge distance of each stitch are almost as precise as if measured by a precision instrument, with no error. The knotting force is just right, ensuring perfect sealing without causing any tissue tearing or ischemia.

"Flush the abdominal cavity, count the instruments, and prepare to close the abdomen."

Only forty minutes had passed when Lu Fang cut the last suture.

Even from Liu Cun's perspective, this was a textbook example of a successful surgery.

He obediently handed over the gauze, but his heart was in turmoil.

Are you kidding me? Is this guy really a recent college graduate?

Having worked in a pet hospital for so many years, I wouldn't dare say that my suturing skills are as perfect as his. His level is comparable to that of a veteran who has worked in a pet hospital for three years.

No wonder Boss Cui is so wary of him.

If he really gets going, at least three pet hospitals in the area will have to close down!

As the operating room doors were pushed open, Lu Fang took off his mask and walked out.

The woman had been waiting at the door. When she saw him come out, she rushed forward and asked, "Dr. Lu, how is my Yuanbao?"

"The surgery was very successful. The foreign object has been removed, and the intestinal anastomosis went smoothly."

"You can stay in the hospital for observation for three days. If you don't get infected, you can go home."

Upon hearing this, the woman burst into tears of joy: "Dr. Lu, thank you so much."

"I originally wanted to go to another pet hospital, but I was worried that my Yuanbao wouldn't be able to hold on for that long, so I found the nearest pet hospital and rushed over. Luckily, we arrived in time, thank you."

She wiped away her tears and kept thanking him.

The pet owners watching this scene also applauded enthusiastically.

Although they won't make any purchases today, a seed has been planted in their hearts: that Ark Pet Hospital has a good level of medical care, and that they can come and have their cats or dogs checked out next time they are feeling unwell.

This is enough.

Standing in the lobby, Lu Fang looked at Qin Zhuyan and Xu Yi, who were smiling brightly behind him, and excitedly raised his right hand: "Our pet hospital is really open!"

As night falls, the lights are on.

After a day of opening activities, Ark Pet Hospital finally put up a sign saying it was closed for the day.

Liu Cun took off his white coat, changed into his casual clothes, greeted Lu Fang and Xu Yi naturally, and walked out of the hospital.

He got into his car as usual, once again leaving the sheriff following behind empty-handed.

After driving for a full half hour, we stopped in front of a hidden private restaurant.

Pushing open the door to the innermost private room on the second floor, Peony Pavilion, a rich aroma of cigars wafts out.

Cui Ding sat behind a huge mahogany round table, toying with an exquisite purple clay teapot in his hand, without even glancing at Liu Cun.

"You're here."
