Because there were so many people, Chu Beichen specially borrowed a van. The little patient was a boy, less than ten years old, and in good mental state.
As for Hu Hongde's Saihu, it looked rather miserable. It had no berth and was transported in a cage for moving animals. It had not eaten or drunk for several days and the big dog was so thin that only skin and bones were left. If it were not for the strong vitality of animals, it would probably have died by now.
Chu Beichen could understand his friend's feelings very well. Seeing Saihu's appearance, he did not delay. After arranging for Fan Pengjun and his people to stay there first, he sent Hu Hongde and his Saihu to the pet hospital.
This is a relatively large pet hospital with a very good reputation in the industry. It didn't take long for them to give a diagnosis. Saihu had a tumor in his intestine, which needed to be removed surgically.
"Regarding the cost of the surgery, I have to make it clear to you. Tumors are different from sterilization. They require very high technical skills. If you are sincere about it, I have to ask a doctor to come over," the doctor at the pet clinic explained seriously.
Hu Hongde was a little confused. "What the hell? Are you saying the doctor who performed surgery on the dog is the same one who treats humans?"
"Yes," the pet doctor nodded. "Real veterinarians perform very crude surgeries. Removing a tumor requires cutting a section of intestine and then suturing the intestines. Veterinarians can't do that. In cases like Saihu's, we always ask surgeons from large hospitals to perform the surgery!"
Su Nian is not unfamiliar with the term "flying knife". It is a way for doctors to make money when they go out.
Hu Hongde also understood, and he nodded: "Okay, as long as Saihu can be cured, I will invite the doctor who treats people!"
"Okay, the surgery will cost two thousand yuan," the pet clinic quoted a high price without hesitation.
Although Hu Hongde was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he heard the number. He quickly calmed down and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Okay, I brought enough money!"
Su Nian and Chu Beichen exchanged a glance, finally believing that the man before them truly treated the dog as a family member. After all, when the Su family got into trouble and their old house was auctioned off, it only fetched 2,800 yuan.
Hu Hongde paid the money and went through the formalities, while Su Nianchu Beichen waited outside. Seeing many people who came with their pet dogs for treatment, everyone was silent and the atmosphere was very heavy.
Hu Hongde came out quickly, "Xiao Chu, Xiao Su, the doctor said he can find someone to perform the surgery tonight. I'll be waiting here, you guys go back first!"
Saihu will definitely need to be hospitalized after the operation, but I don’t know if the dog needs someone to accompany him.
Chu Beichen was worried, so he went to ask the doctors. They said there would be someone on duty. Chu Beichen was relieved and discussed it with Su Nian. Since Fan Pengjun was being taken care of by Lao Cai, the two of them decided to stay and accompany Hu Hongde.
The three people didn't dare to go far, so they ate a bowl of noodles with soybean paste at a small shop nearby and immediately returned to the clinic.
It didn't take long before the doctor who was supposed to perform the flying knife surgery arrived. He was in his thirties and looked very gentle.
Hu Hongde wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He reached out and touched Saihu on the stage. The dog tried to open his eyes wide, and two lines of tears flowed down.
Su Nian's eyes became hot as he watched, and he quickly turned his back, which made him feel a little better.
Anesthesia had already been started inside and intravenous access was established, and the three people were rushed out.
"Xiao Su, Xiao Chu, do you think I'm really stupid?" Hu Hongde took out a cigarette, but couldn't light it for a long time. It was Chu Beichen who helped him light it.
