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 taking 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 that 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.
When you are tired, it is best to hold on. Don’t take a break. If you take a break, 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 have borrowed the book "Animal Husbandry Disease Care", which contains not only content about pig farming, but also a lot of reference for dog farming.
There is no professional veterinarian now, so a non-staff veterinarian will do. As long as the problem can be solved, Lu Youyou is the grandmother and we can worship her.
The young soldier felt so anxious that he wanted to cry when he saw his close comrade in pain.
Lightning was brought up by him and he had never had any serious illness. But today he suddenly stopped eating and drinking and vomited yellow water. His diarrhea was also bloody. Now he is lying on the ground with his back hunched and can't even stand up.
After listening to the young soldier's description of the symptoms and observing the dog's condition for a while, Lu Youyou thought to herself that this was not good and it looked very much like acute pancreatitis.
If treatment is delayed, vomiting blood and coma will follow.
Lu Youyou took a deep breath as if pulling a bellows: "Are there any vomit and excrement left? Let me see."
After panting a few more times, he continued to ask, "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 keep talking.
The little soldier told him everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and 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 is currently diagnosed as acute pancreatitis. I am now doing first aid. Does the health center have enteric-coated pancreatic enzyme tablets? We also have 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, paper and pen were handed to him.
Since there was no table, Gu Qingye turned around and squatted, 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 bigwigs’ sightseeing group outside, and trotted out to stand at attention and 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 smiled and said, "It's true that things are different after getting married. Xiao Gu was not 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 at any slight improvement.
"Yes, it's under control for now. Cough, we 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. There was a dog squatting in each fence, staring at her vigilantly and curiously, not barking or moving, like little soldiers standing guard.
Seeing so many cute furry babies, Lu Youyou’s tension finally relaxed a little.
She glanced in the direction of Gu Qingye and he came over immediately.
"What's wrong?"
"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 staff position.
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 occur 3 to 7 days later. If necessary, drainage of the effusion may be required..."
Seeing the little soldier's eyes turn red, Lu Youyou said hurriedly: "It's just a minor operation, it may not be used, it's better to send it to the veterinary station as soon as possible. There are all kinds of medicines there, and having someone to take care of it will also help its recovery."
The little soldier touched Lightning's head distressedly and looked at Lu Youyou hopefully: "Will Lightning be the same as before after he recovers?"
Lu Youyou opened her mouth and wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
The light in the little 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 hard 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 be treated to restore their normal living standards. They also have to control their diet in the future, and may not be able to support high-intensity training."
Lu Youyou also felt sorry for the puppy, but there was nothing she could do as some things were beyond human control.
She couldn't help but comfort him: "Look at the bright side, at least its life was saved, and it might be a good thing to be more relaxed in the future."
The young 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 a military dog is a military dog. Even if it is too sick to stand up, it still has great strength in kicking its 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, and if they suddenly retire due to illness, not only the trainers can't bear it, but the dogs themselves find it difficult to accept it.
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 see life and death situations all the time, but she wants to say that is not true. The more small animals she saves, the less willing she is to face such moments.
However, medicine is endless, and 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, come on, Lightning!"
