Chapter 4
Even though I couldn't understand the dog's barking, I could vaguely feel that the curse was very dirty.
Doctor Zhang tightened his grip on the syringe, glanced at Wen Youning, turned around and smiled, "I'm glad you're okay. When I was putting on the mouthpiece, she suddenly screamed. I was so flustered at the time that I didn't notice when I accidentally stepped on her." He smiled awkwardly, "She screamed louder and louder, which made me even more panicked."
The Samoyed rolled his eyes at him, turned his head and licked his tail, then continued to glare at him.
Is the strange dog scaring you?
Wen Youning curled her lips. The Samoyed hadn't put on the muzzle yet. It barked so hard but didn't bite anyone, which was enough to show that it was a gentle and docile angel puppy with a good temper. "You stepped on the dog's tail with your toes. When you put on the muzzle, you knelt on one knee with the weight of your whole body on your toes. You were stepped on like this, and you still barked."
"This has nothing to do with you. Can anyone not involved please leave the scene?" Doctor Zhang frowned, his words full of impatience, but due to his identity as a doctor he could not say anything too harsh.
"That's enough." Ms. Lu stood up and separated Dr. Zhang from the Samoyed, put a leash on the Samoyed, and said calmly, "Refund the card."
She will not come to this pet hospital anymore.
Even though it is right downstairs from my house, it is very close and convenient for doing business.
But just now, she just stepped on someone's tail and didn't even know what the problem was, but she ordered so many tests and she still didn't know what was going on. She was really stupid.
Small animals cannot talk. Even children can tell where it hurts when they are sick, but small animals cannot do that. As parents, we can only listen to what the pet doctor says.
If you are lucky enough to meet a good doctor, everything will be fine. If you are unlucky, the doctor is only after money and uses over-medical treatment and excessive medication to make some money. It is a good thing if the dog can be cured. I am afraid of meeting the kind of doctor who is only after money and does not use proper medicine, and the dog's condition gets worse and worse, just for the sake of making money.
Ms. Lu silently put on the dog leash. She no longer wanted to care about the kind of doctor in front of her. After all, she didn't dare to see him here.
Doctor Zhang hurriedly stopped her and said, "Please wait a moment, Ms. Lu. We are already preparing for the operation. We can handle Honey's current condition. You don't need to transfer to another hospital. There will be no professional help if you transfer to another hospital. You may also encounter unexpected situations during the transfer, leading to death. Putting aside my mistake just now, for Honey's sake, you shouldn't leave at this time."
Ms. Lu: "I don't think a hospital that can't even diagnose simple diseases can perform surgery on my Honey. Just refund the remaining money in the card to the membership account, and don't contact me again. Honey, go."
"Woof!" The Samoyed stood up, with its left hind leg just touching the ground, and it looked like it was hopping as it walked.
"Ms. Lu, Miss Lu, Miss Lu, listen to me..." Doctor Zhang followed out and glared at Wen Youning without disguising when he passed by.
Wen Youning raised her eyebrows. It seemed that because of this incident, the hospital had lost a big client.
The Samoyed cried so miserably just now. It seemed that all the people in this pet hospital, including the cashier, were here. It was obvious that this Samoyed spent a lot of money here.
There was no one inside, so Wen Youning naturally followed out. Doctor Zhang was still lobbying Ms. Lu. The Samoyed remembered that his tail had been stepped on just now, and tried to bare his teeth at Doctor Zhang fiercely.
"Don't tell me so many useless things. My only request now is a refund. Do you understand? I don't want to hear anything else." Ms. Lu was annoyed by being pestered and flatly rejected Dr. Zhang's advances.
"It's okay. You're angry now. I'll explain it to you when you calm down." Doctor Zhang smiled the whole time, looking gentle, elegant and polite. But when he turned around and saw Wen Youning coming out, the corners of Doctor Zhang's mouth couldn't hold back.
Doctor Zhang: “What’s up?”
Well, don't say 'you' anymore, even 'you' is gone.
Wen Youning just didn't have enough supplies at home, so she came out to get the vaccination. When she has money, she can buy everything online. She doesn't need to go to the pet hospital and won't have too much contact with the doctor. She didn't care about these things. She just wanted to give the cat the shot and leave. "I'm here to vaccinate the cat."
Vaccines are regulated by certain departments, and regular animal hospitals, regardless of the doctors' skills, will inevitably face the problem of counterfeiting vaccines.
There is only one pet hospital nearby. The vaccine is fine, but the doctor is not. At worst, she can just buy the vaccine and do it herself.
Doctor Zhang raised his chin towards the cashier at the front desk and said, "Give me the vaccine list."
Dr. Zhang handed a piece of paper over, signed his name on it, and handed it directly to Wen Youning, "Disclaimer, signature."
Vaccines are for preventing diseases, but there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen after the injection. The risk is small, but it is definitely not zero. Some hospitals will ask parents to sign in advance.
Wen Youning glanced at it and saw a sheet of information on the specific name and company of the vaccine being injected stapled under the disclaimer.
At the end… “Seven thousand five???”
When Wen Youning saw the price, her eyes went dark.
Just bet on this.
Many vaccines cost dozens or hundreds of yuan. It's too much to charge 7,500 yuan for one vaccine.
Dr. Zhang said: "The vaccines we use here are the best of all categories, imported from the highest-end hospitals, unlike those produced by small workshops in other places."
Wen Youning closed the list and asked, "We don't vaccinate cats against AIDS, FIP, or Chlamydia. We only vaccinate cats against triple combination and rabies. How much do they cost?"
Moreover, so many injections have to be given in one day. Let alone a kitten, even a person would have to be injected with giants.
This was obviously not the first time Dr. Zhang had heard such a request, and he was not surprised at all. He said calmly, "The package cannot be split. You can choose which vaccines not to take after purchasing it." Even if you choose not to take the vaccines, the money will not be refunded.
Doctor Zhang: "Don't think that vaccination is bad just because there are so many types of diseases. Once these diseases break out, your cat will die. They are all very important..."
Wen Youning was too lazy to care, but the doctor even started to spread the word, "After the cat has been vaccinated with the AIDS vaccine, the cat's AIDS test will always be positive, so it will be impossible to tell whether it is infected with the disease or the vaccine is effective. Feline infectious peritonitis is an infection with a mutated coronavirus, and there is no way to track the mutation point. Where did you get the vaccine?"
Wen Youning slowly stroked the little raccoon's fur, but she didn't hesitate to expose him, "If you really have a vaccine for feline infectious peritonitis, would you still be a doctor here?"
Doctor Zhang opened his mouth, but when he saw Wen Youning explained in such detail, he could probably guess that she was from the same industry as him, and his face immediately darkened.
He was about to call the security guard to drive him away when Ms. Lu, who was returning the card at the front desk, suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you a veterinarian too?"
Wen Youning nodded, "Yes..." After a pause, she added, "I guess so."
After all, I don’t have a certificate yet, so it’s always better to be cautious when speaking.
"Can you help me check Honey's hind legs?" Ms. Lu patted the Samoyed's back. "It was playing with the dogs in the community yesterday and accidentally rolled down the stairs. I didn't notice the problem at the time. I only noticed that its hind legs were afraid to touch the ground when I got home. After taking an X-ray, Dr. Zhang said it was a fracture and needed surgery."
He made an appointment yesterday and came for the surgery today. If it weren't for what happened just now, Honey would have been pushed onto the operating table by now.
Doctor Zhang was still trying to get rid of people, but now he was doing business in his hospital, "Isn't this bad, Ms. Lu?"
Ms. Lu said in a bad tone, "Is it okay for me to report you for over-medical treatment? I've spent at least 100,000 yuan here, right? Medical aid for stray animals, canned cat and dog food, when have I not paid for your charity promotion? It's not okay for me to stand here and say a few words to others?"
Doctor Zhang knew he was in the wrong and said, "That's not what I meant."
Ms. Lu ignored him and turned her gaze back to Wen Youning, "Is that okay?"
Wen Youning said: "I don't have a practicing veterinary certificate, I have to tell you this in advance." She took the exam, but the results are not out yet.
Ms. Lu thought Wen Youning looked very young and might be a college student who had not yet graduated. He sounded very professional when talking about the vaccine, so she chose to believe him and just looked at the film to see what could go wrong.
"Of course. Thank you for your help." Ms. Lu's bag contained a lot of things, all of which were medical reports. She took out the film inside and handed it over. "This is the X-ray taken yesterday. Is the fracture serious?"
Wen Youning fell silent while watching the film.
this……
Seeing this, Ms. Lu couldn't help but breathe hard, fearing that the doctor would not say anything after seeing the test results, "Is it serious?"
Come to think of it, the steps are so high, at least as high as two floors.
"There's no fracture." Wen Youning ran her fingertips across the film, from top to bottom, "There's no problem at all."
Ms. Lu: “???”
Doctor Zhang was anxious: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Ms. Lu was so angry that her eyes turned red. She pointed at Dr. Zhang's nose and shouted, "I'm going to file a complaint against you!"
No fractures, no broken bones!
If I go on the operating table and get anesthesia and then come down, I don't know how the doctor will treat me. Even if I don't have surgery, it will still be a hassle.
"She doesn't even have a practicing veterinary certificate, how can she understand the film?" Doctor Zhang broke out in a cold sweat, but the situation before him obviously did not allow him to fool around. If he admitted it, the hospital would be finished.
Doctor Zhang could only pretend to be calm, "Calm down first. Don't blindly trust an unprofessional layman. This is an insult to the veterinary profession."
"I can't calm down! If Honey's treatment is delayed because of you, I won't let you go." Ms. Lu's heart was trembling. It wasn't because she felt bad about the money she spent, but she was completely afraid of what kind of person she almost handed Honey over to.
Doctor Zhang's face turned pale, "Lu..."
The Samoyed sensed its owner's mood, raised its head and put it in Ms. Lu's hands, baring its teeth at Dr. Zhang.
Wen Youning said, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem. Look here." She pointed at the Samoyed's paw and said, "Something is stuck in it. It will prick its foot when it walks. That's why it doesn't dare to touch the ground. Just pull it out."
"Really?" Ms. Lu's mood today was up and down like a roller coaster.
Doctor Zhang had seen the film and naturally knew what was going on. However, the hospital had a quota and he chose surgery considering his commission. He didn't plan to do anything, so he just made an incision on the leg and sewed it up to make it look good. He would just pull the thing out when the time came. It was originally a small matter and there would not be any problems. But now it was all picked out by Wen Youning. He certainly couldn't do anything else, but he didn't want to lose such a big customer, so he actively said, "I can help--"
Ms. Lu turned around and said, "Go away. Shut up."
Doctor Zhang paused, cleared his throat, scratched his head and looked towards the front desk. The cashier sitting at the front desk lowered his head silently when he met his line of sight.
Wen Youning asked: "Do you have tweezers?"
"Yes." Ms. Lu answered and rummaged through her bag, wiped it with an alcohol cotton pad and handed it over. "Is this okay? I use it to catch small insects."
When going out to play, Honey likes to roll around in places with lots of grass, and it's inevitable that dirt and bugs will get stuck on his body. White dogs are most likely to be stained with these things. Sometimes I pick them out when I see them, so as to avoid having too much of them when I go back and it's troublesome to pick them up, so I carry them with me.
"Can."
"Do you need anything else?" Ms. Lu only had limited tools with her, but if she asked, the doctor next to her would probably be happy to provide them.
“No need.” Wen Youning put the little raccoon on her shoulders and said, “Sit tight and be careful not to fall down.”
"Meow!" The little tabby cat tilted its head and rubbed against her.
Wen Youning squatted in front of the Samoyed and rubbed the dog's head.
The Samoyed was so happy that his tongue stuck out. He leaned to one side and moved forward to sniff the kitten.
The little tabby narrowed his eyes and raised his paw to attack.
"Woo?" The beaten Samoyed licked his nose and continued to laugh foolishly.
The little tabby was also playing with the Samoyed, and his claws didn't leave any marks.
Wen Youning held the Samoyed's paw in one hand and tweezers in the other. Without any warning, she moved her hands quickly, clamping and pulling -!
The silly and happy Samoyed was startled. He was originally panting with his tongue sticking out, but in an instant, all the sound stopped.
——“Ouch!”
The Samoyed realized what had happened later and let out a roar.
"Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts..."
Wen Youning put the bloody object on a tissue and said, "It doesn't hurt. Try it."
'It hurts!'
The Samoyed didn't believe it, but when its paws were put on the ground, it subconsciously wanted to stand up.
"Woo?" Samoyed's eyes suddenly lit up.
It really doesn’t hurt anymore!
After standing on tiptoe for too long, the Samoyed couldn't wait to spin around on the ground as soon as it recovered.
“Ouch, ahh ...
I am so happy that I look up and shout, and sing a song to express my current mood.
Ms. Lu's originally nervous mood was also made to laugh by its howling, and she gave it a loving toast on the back of its head.
"Woo," the Samoyed suddenly stopped talking.
Ms. Lu held up the thorn-like object she had pulled out and asked, "What is this?"
Wen Youning said, "It looks like a chicken bone. Go back and rinse it with saline. If you're worried, apply some anti-inflammatory ointment. The kind that costs two yuan a piece at the pharmacy will do."
"Chicken bones? How could there be chicken bones?" Ms. Lu muttered softly.
"Awooo..." The Samoyed wagged its tail.
'It's all because of the stupid dog'
'Woof's spoils!'
Wen Youning curled her lips and said, "I stole it."
"Huh? What?" Ms. Lu was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't react for a moment.
"Ah?" The Samoyed raised his head suddenly.
Wen Youning said: "It stole it from another dog, and the dog chased it, but failed to catch it."
The Samoyed wagged its tail and said proudly: "Woof woof!"
'A stupid dog can't run as fast as a dog!'
"You rolled fast, didn't you?" Wen Youning said with a smile, "The dog that was chasing you stopped chasing you when it saw you rolling down the stairs."
"Woof woof woof!" The Samoyed jumped up and shouted in protest.
Ms. Lu was stunned when she heard this, but... recalling the situation at that time, it seemed that there was a Husky playing with Honey, and it turned out that they were fighting over the chicken?
Oh, that’s not right——
"How do you know?" Ms. Lu looked confused. She herself didn't know the details, so it was impossible for her to have told anyone else.
How did Wen Youning know about it when they met for the first time?
"I..." Wen Youning curled her eyes and said mischievously, "If I say that I can hear the thoughts of small animals, then those things just now were what Honey thought in his own mind."
"Huh? Is that so?" Ms. Lu laughed when she heard this explanation. After all, they live in the same residential area. Maybe Honey and the Husky were seen playing. There were so many people in the square that she might not have noticed Wen Youning.
"Tsk." Doctor Zhang sneered disdainfully, his sarcasm obvious.
Ms. Lu glanced at him and said, "You feel bad to see the money flying away, right?"
Unhappy with Dr. Zhang, she decided to go back and collect evidence to expose it. She said that this rubbish hospital should not be allowed to continue to exist.
In the hospital, even if you want to pull out a chicken bone, you have to take an X-ray and draw blood first, then wash the claws and disinfect them before you can pull them out. The subsequent medication is a considerable expense. Wen Youning solved the problem in less than three seconds.
Thinking of this, Ms. Lu felt a little scared. "Thank you so much for what happened today. If it weren't for you... Alas."
Ms. Lu didn’t know what to say next.
Ms. Lu thought about it and took out her phone. "Let's add each other's contact information. I'll give you the referral fee, and I can ask you any questions Honey has in the future. By the way, I don't know your name yet. My name is Lu Nuan."
"Wen Youning. Forget the consultation fee, it's just pulling out a bone." The tweezers were Ms. Lu's own. Wen Youning only helped to pick it out and was not willing to negotiate the consultation fee.
She added her friend and said with a smile, "After suffering so much, go back and have something good to replenish yourself."
Samoyed: "Woof woof!"
Wen Youning put away her phone, looked around, and glanced at the brands of cat food over there. Hmm... I had never seen them before, so forget it.
Lu Nuan noticed her gaze, "Do you want to buy some cat food?" Only then did she notice the kitten in Wen Youning's arms, "I have a cat at home too, and I have food suitable for kittens. How about I get you a few bags?"
Without waiting for Wen Youning to refuse, Lu Nuan continued, "Besides this store, there are no other pet supplies nearby. The cat food here is not much better than the one in the supermarket. I don't even dare to buy it. Do you dare to feed it to the cat?"
Doctor Zhang, who was called again, had become accustomed to keeping silent, fearing that Lu Nuan would complain again at this time. It would not be good for him to make a big fuss, so he just suffered the loss in silence.
Wen Youning thought about it and said, "Thank you for your help then."
"It's no trouble. I should be the one thanking you." Lu Nuan walked over and opened the door. "Let's go. My home is nearby."
She warmly invited Wen Youning to go with her.
Doctor Zhang followed her to the door and said, "Ms. Lu, please come back next time when you are free. There was a misunderstanding today. It would be better to clarify it in person."
Lu Nuan ignored him and chatted with Wen Youning as they walked, "Did you pick up this cat? I saw a kitten that looks very similar to it outside, at the rice noodle shop at the door."
"It's that one. It came home with me, and I'll keep it for a few days." If the little tabby wanted to run away, Wen Youning would not stop him.
Lu Nuan said "Oh", "I wanted to take it home to raise it before, but I thought it was too small and I was afraid it wouldn't survive in the wild, but it wouldn't go with me."
As she spoke, she reached out to touch the kitten.
The little tabby dog shrank its head back, and sneakily climbed off Wen Youning's shoulder to the other side.
Declined meow~
