Chapter 161: New Skills in Time

"The big sow in our team is having a difficult birth! The amniotic fluid broke for an hour but the piglets haven't been born yet. This is our mission pig for next year, so we can't make any mistakes. Xiyue, come with me."

Aunt Chunsheng said it again anxiously, patted the snow off her body, and pulled Ning Xiyue's hand to run out.

At this time, the three of them understood that Aunt Chunsheng was not wrong. She was indeed talking about the sows in the team having difficulty giving birth. Their faces became more solemn.

The symptom that the sow's amniotic fluid has broken but the baby has not been born for an hour is indeed one of the symptoms of dystocia. Ning Xiyue has seen this in a book on sow postpartum care.

Under normal circumstances, the baby can be born within half an hour after the water breaks.

"Aunt Yang Liu, please help me get the medicine box from the Youth Hostel. I'm afraid I might need it, so I need to hurry."

Ning Xiyue stuffed the cloth bag filled with wool in her hand into the hands of Aunt Yang Liu who was standing next to her. While running after Aunt Chunsheng, she turned back to give Aunt Yang Liu a few words of advice.

"Okay, I'll get it." Aunt Yang Liu closed the door quickly and ran behind him towards the Youth League Home.

"I'll go with you to take a look." Aunt Qiuju was also worried about the piglets, so she chased in the direction of Ning Xiyue and Aunt Chunsheng while shouting.

Pregnant sows are another very valuable property of the team besides cattle, and are related to the property income of the entire brigade.

The team leader and the brigade secretary have been here watching the sows since they were about to give birth.

When Ning Xiyue and Aunt Chunsheng rushed there in a hurry, the sow in the pigpen had still not given birth to a piglet.

The captain was already outside, pacing back and forth in a panic, with a look of anxiety and worry on his face that was rare to him.

If Ning Xiyue hadn't known that it was a sow giving birth inside, she would have been offended and thought that it was the captain's wife, Aunt Yang Liu, giving birth inside.

What a sin! What a sin!

Ning Xiyue silently said sorry to Aunt Yang Liu in her heart and drove away the thoughts in her mind.

"Captain, how is the sow? Has she given birth? I brought Xiyue here." Aunt Chunsheng shouted as she pulled Ning Xiyue into the pigsty.

"It hasn't been born yet." The captain's eyes lit up when he saw Ning Xiyue approaching, as if he had seen a savior. He walked over and opened the door of the sow's pigpen, and said anxiously: "Yuewazi, go in and see what's going on. This is the first time our team has encountered such a weird thing."

The village party secretary looked at the sow in the pigsty with a worried look on his face and said:

"Yes, this sow was carefully selected and brought back by us from the county pig farm this year. How could this happen? It's even worse than the old sow our team had before. Oh, it's so frustrating."

"Yue girl, I'm counting on you."

Everyone here was looking at Ning Xiyue with hidden expectation, as if their hopes for the pregnant sow to give birth safely were placed on her, the only barefoot doctor on the team.

At this moment, Ning Xiyue was very glad that she had privately studied the book on sow postpartum care. What would she have done if she had not learned it?

As a barefoot doctor, she not only has to treat illnesses and prescribe medicine, but now she also has to work as a veterinarian to deliver babies for sows in the team that are having difficulty giving birth.

Life is so wonderful. No one could have imagined that one day they would become a veterinarian.

She studied this book for the piglets in her own space, so that she would not lack meat to eat. She did not expect that she could now apply it to the sows in the team in advance.

It was God's will that I got this book from it and now I can apply knowledge to it.

These were all Ning Xiyue's thoughts during the few seconds the captain spoke to her. As soon as the captain finished speaking, she immediately agreed: "Okay, captain, there's no rush. I'll go take a look."

Ning Xiyue took off her military coat and handed it to Aunt Qiuju to avoid getting the coat given to her by her eldest brother dirty. Under the expectant gaze of everyone, she walked into the pigpen where the pregnant sow was sitting restlessly in front of her.

The sow in the pigsty was struggling to give birth to the babies in her belly, but it was no use and no babies fell out.

The sow was now half lying there, screaming anxiously and extremely nervous.

Ning Xiyue walked over to check its abdomen and birth canal and kicked it with her hoof.

It was only after she patiently comforted him that he allowed her to come closer.

When Ning Xiyue was probing the sow's birth canal with her hands, the captain asked anxiously outside in a low voice, "Yuewazi, how are you?"

Ning Xiyue frowned. The situation of the sow in front of her was a bit difficult to deal with.

"Ding, the check-in place for dystocia sows has been found. The host needs to put his hand on the sow's belly to clock in. Do you want to check in?"

The system sounded at this critical moment, which must be very important. Ning Xiyue put her hand on its belly without hesitation to comfort the sow.

"Sign in."

"Sign in successfully, obtain animal clinical cesarean section skills, and receive a cesarean section gift pack - surgery-related tools and drugs."

New skills in time.

And this time the skill can be learned with one click.

After Tongzi's successful signing in, Ning Xiyue already had the relevant cesarean section techniques in her mind. Images flashed through her mind, allowing her to initially master the technique.

Looking at the sow in pain in front of her, Ning Xiyue had some confidence that she would be safe, and was eager to help her give birth.

However, she had no right to act rashly.

Ning Xiyue looked at the captain who was asking anxiously and shook her head:

"Captain, this is a bit difficult."

"What's going on?"

Ning Xiyue looked at the captain with a serious expression and continued:

"The birth canals of the sows in our team are narrow, the piglets are too big, and the uterus seems to be a little twisted. The piglets can't enter the birth canal in the sow's uterus, which leads to dystocia. In this case, the sow cannot give birth on its own. If the sow can't give birth for a long time, the piglets will easily suffocate to death."

Aunt Chunsheng had been raising the team's pigs and looking forward to the birth of piglets every day. When she heard this, she became very anxious: "What should we do? We must make sure that the team's pigs give birth. They will be the task pigs for next year!"

The captain held his forehead to calm down, looked at the calm Ning Xiyue and said: "Xiyue, do you have any ideas? Tell us, and we will cooperate."

"There is only one way to remove the piglets in this situation and ensure the safety of the sow and the piglets, and that is a caesarean section. I have never done it before, but I have only read the relevant theoretical knowledge. Captain, you decide, and it must be done as soon as possible."

Ning Xiyue threw out this difficult question and stood in the pigsty waiting for the captain to make a decision.

Aunt Chunsheng asked at a loss: "What is a caesarean section?"

Aunt Qiu Ju had heard of cesarean sections before, so she explained to her, "I heard that they cut an incision in the stomach and then took the baby out. Some people in big cities have given birth this way."

"That would be terrible! Wouldn't he die?" Aunt Chunsheng covered her mouth in fear.

"Aunt, if you handle it well, there won't be any problems. It'll even be easier than a natural birth."

Ning Xiyue said this and looked at the captain, who had a serious expression and a hint of struggle between his brows, and reminded him, "Captain, we have to hurry up. The longer we wait, the more danger there will be for the piglets in her belly, and it will eventually harm the sow."

At this time, a member of the cooperative came running over in a hurry: "Captain, the old veterinarian next door is seriously ill and bedridden. He can't come."

"Dawei, there's nothing we can do." The secretary walked to the captain and reminded him.

"Yue girl, are you sure?" The captain was conflicted and could not make up his mind.

This is related to the entire brigade’s mission for next year. This sow and the piglets in her belly are extremely important.

"Captain, I can only tell you that if you do this, there is still a chance of saving everything. If you don't do this, there may be more than a dozen lives left."

Ning Xiyue was helpless as the sow could not give birth even with assisted delivery, so surgery was the only option.
