Starting with taking in female college students

After the mother silver cat rested for half an hour and her complexion looked better, Chen Rang carefully began to quickly treat her external injuries.

He didn't even use anesthesia, and could only alleviate the pain caused to the mother's silver bud through his own skills and patience.

This minor surgery took a full hour.

By the time he had wrapped up the mother silver gradient and placed her back in the special delivery room, both he and the mother silver gradient were exhausted.

Looking outside again, I realized that it was getting dark without me even noticing.

Chen Rang had really lost interest in cooking, so he randomly went to a restaurant in the farmers' market across the street, bought a plate of ham fried rice, and simply satisfied his pitiful stomach.

His pet clinic is located next to the Chai Wan Farmers Market in the old town of Sarawak, separated from the market by only a small alleyway.

The residents here are mostly elderly, and his clients are mainly pet dogs. After taking their dogs to the market or to the square for evening dances, the elderly can conveniently take them to the vet for a check-up, grooming, vaccinations, deworming, and other services.

These projects are very cheap, basically only earning a meager living.

Especially for vaccinating cats and dogs, there's practically no profit. The cost of this stuff fluctuates with the market, but the service price is fixed; so when there's a vaccine shortage and costs spike, you can lose several dollars on a single vaccination.

For the sake of the clinic's reputation, you can't refuse the job.

For Chen Rang, the most profitable project was actually spaying or neutering cats and dogs.

With his skill level, he can usually complete the neutering surgery for male dogs and cats in less than half an hour. The fee ranges from two hundred to five hundred yuan, depending on the size and weight of the dog and cat, as well as whether there are conditions such as testicular displacement or vas deferens adhesions.

Female dogs and cats are a little more complicated, but it still only takes about an hour of hard work. The fee starts at 300 yuan, with no upper limit in special circumstances. It's purely a skill-based job.

This surgery is very simple for him, and there are basically no drug costs. He only needs to perform three to five of these surgeries a month to earn more than half a month's salary for an average worker in Sarawak.

Moreover, this thing can be done and done immediately, without needing to stay in the hospital for observation or requiring his care.

On the contrary, some internal medicine cases are not only complicated to diagnose and treat, but also require careful observation in the clinic. Such treatments are not particularly profitable; however, to some extent, they are proof of reputation and skill level, which Chen Rang could not refuse.

A pet clinic that can perfectly handle all kinds of difficult and complicated pet diseases can still gain the popularity and support of the vast majority of pet owners in a city, even if it is located in a remote and simple environment.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Rang's father tried every means to coax him into studying veterinary medicine. He himself was getting old and his skills were outdated, so he quickly trained his son and promoted him to a higher position.

That's the best intention you've ever had.

To cope with the increasingly complex and varied pet illnesses, Chen Rang's clinic has even been equipped with a color Doppler ultrasound machine.

It wasn't some inferior brand; it was a replacement that Mr. Chen had specifically sourced from a major hospital in the city. Despite being secondhand, its detection accuracy and clarity surpassed that of many large pet hospitals and far exceeded the ultrasound equipment used by other companies in the industry.

As for more advanced X-ray machines or even CT scanners, there is basically no need to purchase them in third-tier cities.

The maximum cost for a cat or dog is only a few hundred yuan. Ordinary people simply cannot afford to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan on medical treatment for their pets.

Perhaps there are people in big cities who are obsessed with pets, but in a small city like Sarawak, spending a huge sum of money to buy a CT scanner is simply idiotic.

As a veterinarian, personal skills and experience are ultimately more important than professional equipment.

However, when faced with some difficult problems that cannot be solved or require a lot of time and money, there is no doubt that persuading pet owners to give up is a better and more responsible choice for both the pet and the owner.

Chen Rang appeared somewhat indifferent in this regard.

But in fact, as a professional veterinarian, this is how one should be responsible to their clients. Chen Rang said he could never do something like constantly dragging a patient along while trying to squeeze money out of their family.

This kind of thing goes against his professional ethics.

When it got dark, Chen Rang rested for a while.

Along the way, an old lady came by carrying her beloved dog and holding a pet vaccination card in her hand.

She brought her dog to get vaccinated, a routine she does twice every three years. Once for the rabies vaccine, and once for the triple vaccine. She's never missed a single one of these vaccinations since she got the dog.

The mixed-breed country dog ​​she was holding looked quite old, at least a dozen years old.

In Chen Rang's memory, he had seen this grandmother and the dog when he was in junior high school.

Back then, Grandma was still quite healthy, and the dog was just a little puppy who liked to sniff around everywhere. When the puppy saw that it was time for a shot, it always tried to escape outside; but Grandma would just watch with a smile and not stop it.

As for a leash, there definitely isn't one.

According to the records on the vaccination card, the elderly woman never missed a vaccination. She ensured both types of vaccines were administered correctly, both for the dog's sake and to protect others.

Of course, Chen Rang's father was not the kind of person who would give vaccines to people for money. Even though the country required that rabies vaccines be administered on time every year, he only insisted on the scientific principle of one booster shot every three years.

Now, that once incredibly lively mixed-breed dog has become a lazy old dog. It seems to have some health problems and has lost its former liveliness. This guy, disregarding its own weight, stubbornly curls up in the old lady's arms, refusing to get down no matter how much she tries to coax it.

When Chen Rang gave it its injection, it looked up at him pitifully like a child and kept whimpering. It wouldn't be satisfied until the old lady coaxed it.

But in reality, this guy was just faking the pain. Because he didn't struggle at all from beginning to end, he had already gotten used to being injected.

Even after the injection, it ran to the old lady's side and stood up like a child, pawing at her body with its two front paws and continuing to act cute, its pitiful act quite skillful.

Chen Rang was both amused and exasperated.

"Little Chen, your dad says you're even better than him. So can you take a look at my dog ​​and see if there's anything wrong with its health?"

"Then I'll take a look."

Seeing that the old lady did not intend to leave, and considering that he did care about the old dog, Chen Rang did not refuse to give it a check-up.

To be honest, examining elderly animals is a troublesome and thankless task.

After all, animals, just like people, inevitably develop various ailments as they age. For example, judging from the old lady's description, this dog not only suffers from loss of appetite but also experiences alternating constipation and diarrhea.

This is undoubtedly a sign that the digestive tract has become weak, and it is difficult to cure with medication and is beyond human control.

After all, this dog is quite old.

The good news is that the dog doesn't have any other symptoms. Apart from being old, it's been very well cared for by the old lady; even for the slightest ailment, Chen Rang quickly provides a reliable treatment plan.

The old lady smiled and thanked him, accepted the medicine bag Chen Rang handed her, and paid the price generously without haggling.

On the contrary, the old dog seemed to understand Chen Rang's words and strongly objected to his statement that he was old. The dog even pretended to bite Chen Rang's leg, but Chen Rang grabbed one of its ears and threatened it, so the dog quickly howled and begged for mercy.

Chen then let it go.

After comforting the dog with a smile, the old lady chatted with Chen Rang for a bit, then, with some effort but steady care, she carried the heavy old man away slowly and shakily.

The bond between this person and the dog looks just like that of family.

However, the old woman was very old, and so was the dog. No one knew when or who would pass away first. Thinking about such things was always unsettling, but unfortunately, no one could change the course of life.

Chen Rang watched the old man disappear around the corner of the alley, feeling quite emotional.

This grandmother was actually the only income he earned all day. He had been busy from morning till night with almost no rest, but when he calculated what he had done, he was actually in a state of serious loss.

Who can you reason with about something like this?

Chen Rang turned around somewhat unhappily, glanced at the few pet carriers he had placed on the ground in the adjacent pet shelter area, and sighed with a headache.
