If this woman had consulted Chen Rang before buying the dog...

Then he would definitely tell her something serious and important: if there are no able-bodied people in the family, then never keep a large or medium-sized dog.

Especially the husky!

Although this dog has a great reputation, it is indeed the kind of troublesome breed that is best avoided by ordinary families.

This guy needs at least five kilometers of running exercise every day, otherwise he'll wreak havoc and expend all his energy. An adult husky weighs around 35 to 50 kilograms, which is heavier than most children and the elderly. Once he starts struggling, it's very difficult for an ordinary person to hold him back. In other words, even when taking him for a walk, it's best to be an adult, not an elderly person or a child, to lead him.

It's very curious; roadside flowers, birds, cats, dogs, and even cyclists can attract its attention. Leaving aside the possibility of harming the other person, it would take the dog owner a great deal of strength to restrain it.

In addition, this thing has a huge appetite, eating more than half a pound of dog food every day, drinking a lot of water, and producing a lot of poop, making it very troublesome to take care of.

Therefore, families like this, where two elderly people live together, their children and grandchildren only come back occasionally for a few days, and the elderly couple also have to go out to work, have almost no conditions whatsoever suitable for keeping a husky. In fact, they are... not very suitable for keeping a dog.

If this woman had consulted Chen Rang, he would definitely have advised her to get a cat.

Cats don't need to be taken out for walks, and they even dislike exercise more than the elderly; all you need to do is prepare a handful of cat food every day, and if you're a little lazy, you only need to scoop their litter box every three or four days, and you basically don't need to take care of them the rest of the time.

When I want to play, I play with it for a while; when I don't have time, it will find a place to hide on its own. It's so worry-free.

Chen Rang's pet clinic has a total of eight cats, of various breeds and personalities, and you can choose any one you like for free! Kids may say they like dogs, but once a cat comes home and starts cuddling with them, they immediately become cat slaves, right?

When asked whether his cat had this ability, Chen Rang said there was absolutely no problem.

Unfortunately, he didn't know about the old lady's situation. After arriving at the clinic and completing all the necessary cleaning work for the opening, as well as the examination of the Ragdoll cat and the female silver shaded cat, he squinted and lay down behind the counter to take out his phone.

Ni Youlin hasn't sent any more messages, so there shouldn't be any more accidents happening over there.

Li Shiwei is working a full 24-hour shift today, and her day off isn't until tomorrow. They've already made plans to go out to see the dogs together, and then go to sleep afterward.

Young people are full of energy; even if they stay up all day and night, they still have the mood to go out and have fun.

Chen opened his online shopping app and discovered that the charger he ordered had arrived in Sarawak. In other words, he would be able to play the game console by this afternoon at the latest, which was undoubtedly good news to look forward to.

With a hint of excitement, he slowly closed his eyes.

I didn't sleep well last night, and I still feel incredibly sleepy. I don't know if I'll be very busy later today, so as a doctor, I must learn to get enough rest beforehand.

"Doctor! Dr. Chen?"

An unfamiliar voice rang out from outside the door, startling Chen Rang from his sleep.

He opened his eyes and saw a woman carrying a cat-shaped bag. She looked to be in her early twenties, slightly overweight, and wearing heavy makeup. But even with that makeup, a narrow, fresh scar could still be seen running from her cheek to her chin.

Upon seeing Chen Rang, the woman quickly ran into the clinic.

"Doctor! Please take a look at my cat. What's wrong with him? He was fine before, but he's become very disobedient since a few days ago. And... he hasn't been eating much lately!"

As she spoke, the woman put down the cat carrier and reached in to scoop out the British Shorthair blue and white cat curled up inside.

"Aww!"

A piercing howl came from the cat carrier; the cat inside had attacked the woman's hand. Before Chen Rang could intervene, he heard a hiss, and the woman cried out in pain, quickly pulling her hand back.

She looked down and saw two bloody marks on the back of her hand, with beads of blood oozing out.

Chen quickly brought her some tissues.

This cat's nails had probably been trimmed, but the tips hadn't been rounded; therefore, the scratches it made were wider than those of a typical cat. The wounds on either side of the broken skin also appeared as a flower-like pattern, rather than a thin line.

For common superficial wounds caused by sharp objects, press the wound firmly to help it clot and seal tightly.

However, such open superficial wounds are not only more difficult to stop bleeding; but if the wound is too deep, there is even a possibility that stitches may be needed.

"No need! I'm used to it scratching me! A little blood is nothing!"

The woman casually declined Chen Rang's reminder.

Chen Rang examined her wound and confirmed it wasn't particularly serious. The wound was long but not deep, so stitches weren't necessary.

However, disinfection is still necessary, since the incident occurred inside the clinic.

He took a small bottle of saline solution from the cabinet, a bottle of iodine from the drawer, and two cotton swabs, handing them to the woman. After cleaning her wound with the saline solution, he told her to apply the iodine and scrape the wound on the back of her hand in one direction several times.

"Is it that complicated? Let's look at my cat first! It's been vaccinated, so it won't give me rabies."

The woman found the procedure too complicated and was unwilling to extend her hand.

"You think cat paws only have rabies virus on them? They touch the ground all day, run around everywhere, and lick their paws. They have all sorts of viruses and bacteria on them! And look how dirty your cat carrier is! How can you not disinfect it? If it gets a viral infection, it's no joke!"

Chen Rang sternly refused and forcibly demanded that the woman extend her hand.

Only then did he realize that the woman had more than just these two wounds on her hands.

There are several light-colored, almost healed scars on her wrist, the inside of her thumb and the pad of her index finger, and her forearm.

These scars ranged in length from seven or eight centimeters to as thin as a fingertip, and their sheer number was astonishing. It was only because he knew they were cat scratches that Chen Rang assumed she was suffering from domestic violence and being beaten at home every day!

Chen Rang looked up at her and found it hard to imagine what kind of cat she had that was so violent.

What left him speechless was that even though the woman had been badly injured by her own cat, she still treated it like a precious treasure. Instead of disciplining it and correcting its violent behavior, she was gently coaxing it.

"Baby, don't be angry! Just bear with it for a bit, let's let the doctor see what's wrong, okay?"

The girl spoke as if she were coaxing her own son.

But the blue and white cat, still curled up in its carrier, showed absolutely no appreciation. It continued to howl at the woman as if it had seen an enemy, and would occasionally stretch out its paws and wave them, as if threatening her not to come near it.

Women have absolutely no way to deal with it.

After waiting for a while, Chen Rang completely lost his patience, put on protective gloves, and took the initiative to come over.

He wasn't going to let the little guy get away with it. He quickly grabbed it and scooped it up! Ignoring the little guy's pawing and biting at his gloves, he twisted the scruff of its neck, pressed down on its rear with his other hand to stop it from struggling, and lifted it up by force.

"Slow down!"

The woman rushed forward to help, her arms outstretched but unsure what to do, standing there anxiously.

Chen Rang ignored her.

He lifted the blue and white dog, which was howling incessantly, onto the operating table, pressed down on its neck and hindquarters with his arm, and slowly explored its body with his left hand to find the physical cause of its agitation.

According to its owner, its temperament had changed for some time. When it was first brought home, it was a very well-behaved puppy; but as it grew older, its temper became increasingly worse.

"Is there anything unusual about its drinking, urination, or defecation?"

Chen Rang didn't look up, asking questions as he inspected the items.

Most internal medicine problems can be identified by abnormalities in fluid intake and excretion. Sometimes it may be just a minor, insignificant abnormality, but its presence can help identify or rule out many other possibilities that require further analysis.

The same applies to people.

If the doctor asks you any questions, just tell them all honestly.

Don't think that talking about your symptoms is insignificant or unimportant, or that it's a waste of the doctor's time and affects their judgment. In fact, if you don't tell them, the doctor might assume you have those symptoms or don't, which could lead to a misdiagnosis.

Do you drink water every day?

After listening to the woman's words, Chen Rang had some ideas in mind. After searching the cat's body and finding nothing unusual, he focused all his attention on the cat's face.

He quickly identified the problem.
