Chapter 67 The Cavity Bear

After knowing the reason for Dahei's pain, the matter was easily resolved,

After all, Jiajia Zoo is also a zoo that has been open for a long time, and it still has experience in animals with tooth decay.

In fact, many animals also have tooth decay in their daily life.
Especially for omnivores like bears, because of their living habits,

The gap between the teeth will be much larger than that of tigers and lions, and they prefer sweets, so tooth decay is easy to occur.

"If it's tooth decay, it's easy to handle. I'm going to the cold storage to get two thigh bones."

After hearing Qi Ming's words, Xiao Zhang stared at Dahei's teeth carefully for a while, and said with a sigh of relief.

"Okay, go and come back quickly, while it's quiet now."

Qi Ming turned his head and waved to Xiao Zhang, signaling him to go first.

The zoo has formed a preliminary process for how to treat bear tooth decay.
Generally, feed the bear some food with big bones or other hard food first.

Let them drop their rotten teeth naturally, and then brush them.

"Old Qin, go to the warehouse and get that set of teeth-brushing tools! I'll brush his teeth after he finishes eating."

"Good principal, I'll go there now."

Lao Qin responded and went out.

"It's a good thing I read a previous breeder's log of my father, otherwise I really don't know what to do when I encounter this incident."

Qi Ming looked at Dahei who was still panting in the cage and said.

For every breeder, a qualified breeding log is required for each animal that he is responsible for.

In addition to the basic animal name number, animal behavior records, date and weather conditions of the day, the content of this log,

Animal weight and size data, changes in physical signs, gender discrimination should also be recorded,

Even their breeding and birth control measures, as well as daily feed supply and animal manure conditions must be recorded on it
If the facilities and equipment in the exhibition area are updated and remodeled, they must be updated regularly.

These data are an important basis for the breeder to judge the animal's body and psychology.

For example, Doudou was fine yesterday, but today she is suddenly unhappy.

Then this old king can match the data of yesterday and today according to the log data, and see what problem has occurred in the specific link.

As the former director of the garden, Qi Ming's father also has a breeding log of his own.

But since he is the director of the zoo, the above records are more about some emergencies that occurred in the zoo and how to solve them.

For example, this bear has tooth decay, how to solve it is recorded in his father's diary, so Qi Ming knows how to deal with it and solve it.

After recalling some of the contents in the diary, Qi Ming found that the emotions conveyed by Dahei had changed slightly.

At the beginning, the emotion that Dahei conveyed was more pain, but now it is more hunger.

"It's okay, if there's nothing to eat, I'll be here soon!"

Feeling the hunger in his mind, Qi Ming softly comforted the underworld.

In zoos, bears don't eat as much meat as ligers do.
Generally, the bears eat more fish, corn and potatoes, and more corn bread.

Some zoos that are a little more economical will also directly make that kind of rough noodles for bears to eat.

Of course, the steamed buns in normal zoos are usually mixed with cornmeal mixed with some cheap seasonal vegetables, and then mixed with some diced meat to make a mixed steamed stuffed bun.

These steamed corn buns may not look very good-looking, but the nutrition is still very good.

The reason why zoos don’t often give bears meat is because bears are smarter animals.

If you feed it meat regularly, it will become picky eaters,

Bears are omnivorous animals, and eating meat all at once is not good for their health.

Not only for health, but also to save food costs by combining meat and vegetables.
A bear needs to eat [-] to [-] kilograms of food a day. If it eats meat, the cost is very high.

"Director, I'm back. Not only did I take two stick bones, but I also took some chicken pieces and potatoes."

Just when Qi Ming was thinking about whether to go to the wolf pen next door first,

When he took some other food to give Dahei his stomach, Xiao Zhang came back with something.

"Hoohoo!"

Seemingly smelling the food that Xiao Zhang brought back, Da Hei who was lying in the cage sat up all of a sudden.

Its cloudy eyes regained energy, and its eyes fixed on Xiao Zhang's hand, its nose began to twitch, and its mouth let out a cry.

Seeing that Dahei was very hungry, Qi Ming discussed with Xiao Zhang,
Throw the chicken rack in first, and let it liven up its stomach first.

Looking at the chicken rack thrown into the cage, Dahei let out a rough breath, and a puzzled expression appeared in his eyes.

Looking at Dahei's appearance, Qi Ming knew that he hadn't seen Hunxuan for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't be as thin as he is now.

Dahei put his nose close to the chicken rack and sniffed for a while before taking a bite cautiously.

After discovering that the white ice slag on it is also edible,

It tore open half a chicken frame in one bite, and Gaba Gaba swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.
Then he took another bite of the remaining half of the chicken rack and swallowed it all down to the bones.

In just two strokes, the seven or eight chicken racks that Qi Ming and the others threw in were eaten up by Dahei.

Seeing Dahei's eating speed, Qi Ming couldn't help but feel a little sad, how long did he have to be hungry to eat so fast.

Seeing that Dahei had finished eating, Xiao Zhang threw in a dozen more big potatoes,
This time Dahei was not in such a hurry to eat, he sniffed it first, and ate at a rhythm of one bite at a time.

With the rhythm of Dahei's eating, some yellowish-reddish liquid can even be seen coming out of its mouth.

It was panting heavily while eating, and Qi Ming felt that Dahei's mouth must be in pain.

"Director, don't worry, I stuffed some anti-inflammatory drugs in the potatoes. After a few days of eating, the big black mouth should be able to clear up the pus."

Looking at Qi Ming's worried face, Xiao Zhang hurriedly said.

As an old keeper of the zoo, he is quite experienced in these things.

"Director, I brought back what you asked for, hey! Why are you faster than me!"

As soon as Xiao Zhang finished speaking, Lao Qin came over with tools.

"Old Qin, you came just in time, Dahei just finished eating something,

Just brush its teeth, don't eat too much suddenly after being hungry for a long time. "

Qi Ming took the tools that Lao Qin brought over. The tools for brushing teeth consisted of three things,

A tube of fluoride toothpaste, a bottle of mineral water bottled milk, a homemade big toothbrush.

There are many holes in the milk bottle, and the toothbrush is a one-meter-long round stick with a brush on it.

"Director, why don't I come, you probably haven't brushed a bear's teeth before!"

Seeing that Qi Ming seemed to be remembering something, Lao Qin stepped forward and said.

"Brush Dahei's teeth! Well, you should do it!"
