After some self-praise, Lan Guoer finally calmed down.
Tie Niu's eyes flashed brightly, "You...you are really a doctor? Can you really cure the lamb's illness?"
Lan Guoer nodded. "But you have to take me to see the lamb first, so I can know if it can be cured, don't you think?"
"Then come with me!"
Tie Niu grabbed her clothes and was about to walk forward. Lan Guoer smiled and shook her head! Oh! This child is still impatient.
Tie Niu led her to the sheep pen like leading a calf.
A large group of team members, young and old, gathered around the sheep pen, all with serious expressions.
Ulijitu and accountant Suhe were squatting in the sheep pen, one of them holding up the sheep's mouth and the other holding a spoon, not knowing what he was feeding into the sheep's mouth.
In the sheepfold, twenty or thirty lambs lay in a heap, each one limp and weak.
Tie Niu pointed at a lamb that was just one month old, curled his lips, and looked like he was about to cry.
"It's Silver Horn! I raised it too.
The ewe died when it was born, and I was the one who kept it alive by squeezing out milk from other goats! But it started having diarrhea just after it turned one month old, and even had blood in its stool!
My mother said that this disease is very difficult to treat, and more than a dozen sheep in the brigade have died from it!
As he said this, he raised his little face and looked at Lan Guoer with red eyes.
"You're a doctor, you can definitely save it, right?"
Although Lan Guoer is not a veterinarian, as mammals, they have many similarities in essence except for their physical shapes.
Through Tie Niu's description and the lamb excrement observed at the scene, she roughly concluded that it was probably the cattle and sheep dysentery that was common in later generations.
There are even special livestock medicines for this disease in later generations.
But in this day and age, even the basic medicines that are related to people's livelihood are still far from sufficient in supply!
Not to mention the medication for these livestock!
Although she did not have any special medicine for livestock, this type of dysentery was nothing more than a bacterial and viral infection, and could also be solved by taking human antibiotics and antiviral drugs.
So this is not a difficult thing for her.
She raised her eyebrows at the little iron ox, then shouted to Wulijitu in the sheepfold,
"Captain, what are you feeding them? Is it working?"
Ulijitu raised his head and saw her standing beside the sheep pen. He slapped his forehead, threw down the spoon in his hand and walked towards her.
He thought to himself, he's really getting old and confused! Why is he still asking people to go to the city to find a doctor? Isn't the one right under his nose the best doctor?
"Miss Guo'er, I'm afraid this old man will have to trouble you again!"
Thinking about the huge favor he owed someone last night, Ulijitu felt a little embarrassed.
However, thinking that these sheep were related to the livelihood of the entire brigade, he finally spoke and described to her in detail the symptoms of the sheep in their brigade and the measures they had taken.
Lan Guoer stepped into the sheep pen, reached out to touch the lamb's belly, and then opened its eyelids to take a look.
Wulijitu rubbed his hands nervously and didn't dare to breathe.
"Isn't this the doctor who rescued Baru from the clutches of Hades last night? He's a miracle doctor! With this miracle doctor here, can our sheep be saved?"
An old lady excitedly said to the woman next to her.
"With the blessing of Eternal Heaven, our sheep are saved! They are saved!"
After the old lady said that, the team members now recognized Lan Guoer as the doctor who treated Baru last night. They all followed her with nervousness and anticipation.
After a careful inspection and combining it with what Wulijitu said, Lan Guoer breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she was able to confirm her conclusion.
"It's dysentery! But this time the dysentery is a little special, it's a mixture of viruses and bacteria.
That’s why this herbal juice worked for everyone before, but it didn’t work this time.”
Seeing that Wulijitu and everyone else were all confused, she simply stopped explaining.
"I happen to have the right medicine in my medicine box. I'll give it to you later. Crush the pills and mix them with water or food three times a day. Rest for a day or two, and you should feel better."
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief! Their faces quickly lit up with joy.
"There's salvation! We won't have to starve this winter! Oh yeah!" someone in the crowd cheered loudly.
"Yeah! So my Silver Horn can survive too! Oh oh!"
When Tie Niu saw the adults cheering, he knew that Lan Guoer had not lied to him. He jumped into the sheep pen happily and circled around the lambs.
Looking at everyone's innocent and simple appearance, Lan Guoer couldn't help but smile too.
It can be seen that the people here are very simple and honest. Being with them, I feel inexplicably warm and at ease.
"Miss Guo'er, on behalf of the entire brigade, I thank you! I also welcome you on behalf of everyone. Your presence is truly a blessing to our entire Unity Brigade!"
"Yes! Miss Guo'er is the benefactor of our entire team. I suggest that we slaughter three of her sheep tonight to welcome our distinguished guests from afar!"
"Great, great! Roast a whole lamb! Roast a whole lamb! Everyone will have barbecue tonight!"
The children cheered and jumped for joy.
Although no results have been seen yet, Ulijitu and his teammates seemed to have already seen the results. They all smiled and discussed holding a welcoming banquet for them.
Knowing that the disease had caused the team to lose more than ten sheep, Lan Guoer naturally couldn't bear to let them spend any more money.
Speaking of which, life is really hard for herders these days!
If we really talk about it in detail, apart from the convenience of eating beef and mutton, in other aspects, it is much more difficult than farmers who grow crops.
Don’t be fooled by the herds of cattle and sheep on the grassland. A large portion of them are “task sheep” and “task cattle”. Just like farmers have to pay public grain, herders also have to hand over beef and mutton according to plan.
Compared with farming, animal husbandry not only makes herders homeless, but also requires them to bear greater risks.
As the old saying goes, "A fortune of a ton doesn't count if it's furry! A house of a thousand acres doesn't count if it's furry."
Cattle and sheep are different from crops. They need food, water, and people to take care of them. Any lack of care may lead to irreparable losses.
If we encounter any infectious disease again, not only will we fail to complete the task, but we will also be hungry all year round.
