"The sow on 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 a difficult delivery. Their faces became a little 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 postpartum care for sows.
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 League Home. I'm afraid I might need it, so I need it quickly."
Ning Xiyue stuffed the cloth bag filled with wool 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 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 and shouted in the direction of Ning Xiyue and Aunt Chunsheng.
Pregnant sows are another very valuable property of the team besides cattle, and are related to the property income of the entire team.
The team leader and the brigade secretary were already here watching over the sows as soon as they were about to give birth.
When Ning Xiyue and Aunt Chunsheng rushed over, the sow in the pigpen had not yet given birth to a piglet.
The captain was already outside, pacing back and forth in a panic, his face showing a rare look of anxiety and worry.
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, saying anxiously, "Yuewazi, hurry in and see what's going on. This is the first time our team has encountered such a strange thing."
The village party secretary looked at the sow in the pigpen 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 depressing."
"Yue girl, I'm counting on you."
Everyone here looked at Ning Xiyue with hidden anticipation, as if their hopes for the pregnant sow to give birth safely were pinned on her, the only barefoot doctor in the team.
At this time, Ning Xiyue was very glad that she had privately studied the book on sow postpartum care. What would she do if she hadn't learned it?
As a barefoot doctor, she not only has to treat patients and prescribe medicine, but now she also has to act as a veterinarian to deliver babies for sows in the team that are having difficulty giving birth.
Life is so wonderful. No one would have thought that they would become a veterinarian one day.
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 obtained this book from it and am now applying the knowledge to it.
These were the thoughts that Ning Xiyue had in mind 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 dirtying the coat given to her by her eldest brother. Under the expectant gaze of everyone, she walked into the pigpen where the restless pregnant sow was.
The sow in the pigsty was trying hard to give birth to the babies in her belly, but it was no use and no baby came out.
The sow was now half lying there, squealing anxiously and extremely nervous.
Ning Xiyue walked over to check its abdomen and birth canal and kicked it with her hoof.
Only after she patiently comforted him did he allow her to come closer.
As Ning Xiyue was probing the sow's birth canal with her hands, the captain asked anxiously from outside, "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 area for dystocia sows has been found. The host needs to put his hand on the sow's belly to clock in. Is the host checking 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."
"Successfully sign in, obtain animal clinical cesarean section skills, and receive a cesarean section gift pack—surgical tools and medications."
Timely new skills.
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 this technique.
Looking at the sow in pain in front of her, Ning Xiyue felt a little confident that she would be safe, and was eager to help her give birth.
However, she didn't have the 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 sows in our team have narrow birth canals, the piglets are too large, and the uterus seems a bit twisted. The piglets can't enter the birth canal inside the sow's uterus, which leads to dystocia. In this situation, the sow cannot give birth on her own. If the sow keeps being unable to give birth for a long time, the piglets will easily suffocate to death."
