The days of being a cat in Japan

The husky's whimpering could not be heard by anyone in the room, but after briefly introducing his current situation at home to Dr. Fujimoto, Masao Amada's cell phone rang suddenly.

The gentleman took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked at the number on the caller ID, frowned, and pressed the answer button.

The voice of a middle-aged woman came from the phone, and she asked Yu Tian Masao: "Masao, I heard that you went out to find that dog again? Didn't I tell you that Xiangzi is pregnant, so I can't touch it?" As a pet, if you lose that dog, it will save you the trouble of finding someone to foster it. Let me tell you that even if Xiangzi gave birth to the child, your husky can no longer be raised, so noisy What if I hurt a child? I only lived in your house for a few days, and every day it makes the house look like it needs to be redecorated. Stools, tables, chairs, and your clothes and leather shoes, where are you? Haven’t been damaged? Such a prodigal dog, I really don’t understand why you still keep them.”

Masao Amada held back his temper and listened to the other party's words on the phone, and then he replied: "Mother-in-law, I have already inquired, as long as you pay attention, pregnant women can still keep pets. And although Caesar is a little noisy, but it He has never hurt anyone, and the relationship between them is very good when they get along with Xiangzi, Caesar has never attacked anyone or animals since he was a child, he is a good dog."

When the lady on the phone heard what her son-in-law said, she was immediately dissatisfied.

So she raised her voice and said: "I asked the old sisters of the Mother and Sister Association around, and they all said that you can't keep pets when you are pregnant. We old sisters have no more life experience than you young people, how could we make mistakes? It’s okay for a pregnant woman to keep a pet. That guy is talking nonsense. Is he responsible for what’s wrong? Zhengnan, you have to think about it. This is your wife and child. Who is more important than that dog? In your own mind You have to understand."

Masao Amada took a deep breath when he heard the words. He really didn't want to quarrel with his mother-in-law, and the other party was indeed planning for his wife and children, although this kindness made the couple feel pressured.

Just when Masao Amada didn't know how to deal with his mother-in-law, his wife suddenly took the phone from his mother.

Then Masao Yutian heard his wife say to him with concern on the phone: "Masao, where are you now? I'll pick you up and Caesar home. Have you asked clearly about whether pregnant women can keep pets? If so It would be great if you can raise him. If not, then we will put Caesar in foster care for a while, and we will take him back after the baby is born. My mother was a little anxious just now. Don’t be angry. She is doing this because she cares about me and the baby. Yes, I still like Caesar very much, and speaking of it, he is still a great matchmaker between the two of us."

Hearing his wife's gentle voice and her statement on the phone, Masao Amada finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After obtaining the consent of Mr. Fujimoto, he gave his wife the address of his current location.

After her daughter hung up the phone, Mrs. Oda pointed her finger on her forehead and said, "You actually demolished your mother and my desk, you are really extroverted girls. Who is your mother and I working so hard for? In the end, the two of you This one not only doesn't appreciate it, but also treats me like a villain, I really don't like it inside and out."

Mr. Oda, who was on the side, said to his wife disapprovingly: "Don't be so angry, everyone can discuss anything, look at your troubles recently, Xiangzi can't go home, Masao The side is also battered."

Mrs. Oda chuckled a few times when she heard the words and said, "I am rambunctious, do I have their dog rambunctious? My daughter and my grandson, what can I do if I don't care? With the current group of children, a little life experience Not at all, I can't see it and say a few more words, how come it's all my fault? Okay, if you say that, then I don't care, anyway, the child in Xiangzi's belly will be named Yutian and not Oda. "

After hearing this, Mr. Oda put down the teacup in his hand, and said to his wife: "The more you say it, the more shameful it becomes. You can say such things casually. If your son-in-law hears it, how can you let your daughter talk to her husband's family?" Get along there?"

Mrs. Oda was very angry at what her husband said, and she said aggrievedly: "When I came to propose marriage, the man's family on the gift money side gave as much as they said, and I didn't argue with them at all. Later, Xiangzi got married and brought two I married a shop in a prosperous area and a high-end car as a dowry, and I brought her a passbook of 1000 million for emergencies. Whenever the young couple come back, I will not entertain them with good wine and good food. My mother-in-law said I went to take care of them when they were sick, you go out and find out, can the one who married his daughter do what I can do? I worked hard to take care of them, for fear of any mistakes, how come it is all my fault now?"

Seeing her mother's red eye circles, Yutian Xiangzi hurriedly leaned over to comfort her: "Mom, don't be sad, we don't mean to blame you. It's just that the dog has a different meaning to us. I hope I can keep it with me. Of course, if it doesn’t work, we won’t force it. We will send the dog to a good friend’s house to take good care of it. You see, Zhengnan is also asking, so let’s listen to what he has to say OK?"

Mrs. Oda blinked vigorously when she heard the words, forced back the tears in her eyes, then stood up and said angrily: "Go, I will go too. I want to see, it is that irresponsible guy who is instigating me The son-in-law asked the pregnant woman to keep a dog."

Mr. Fujimoto, who was talking to Masao Amada, suddenly heard the doorbell ringing from the entrance.

Since he had already called in advance to confirm, Mr. Fujimoto knew that this should be Masao Amada's wife coming to pick him up.

When I opened the door, I saw a young daughter-in-law and a middle-aged couple in their early fifties standing outside.

The young Mrs. Yutian bowed when she saw Dr. Fujimoto who opened the door and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, I'm Koko Yuda, and these two are my parents. They are here to pick up my husband and the dog at home. of."

Talking about the gift that Mrs. Yutian brought her, a box of strawberry cream cake was handed over.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fujimoto, who came out with her husband to welcome the guests, hurriedly took the gift and said, "Mrs. Yutian, you are very polite. Everyone, please come in and have some tea for a rest."

In this way, Mrs. Yutian, who came to pick him up, was warmly invited into the house by the Fujimoto couple together with her parents.

As soon as everyone sat down in the living room, Mrs. Oda saw the husky leaning on the glass door, panting and wagging its tail at the owner in the room.

Looking at the 'culprit' that made the house restless, Mrs. Oda asked her son-in-law angrily: "Masao, you really plan to take this dog home, Xiangzi?" But you have just been pregnant for more than two months, and the days to come will not be long, but they will not be short, so you have to think carefully about it."

Hearing this, Masao Yuta explained to his mother-in-law: "Mr. mother-in-law, Mr. Fujimoto is the best pet doctor in the county. I have already consulted him. Dr. Fujimoto said that if you pay attention and do a good job of protection, there are pregnant women at home. Pets are also allowed inside.”

Mrs. Oda immediately turned her gun and asked Dr. Fujimoto, "Is it you who secretly encouraged my son-in-law to continue to keep dogs? I know you are a veterinarian. Of course I hope people will keep more pets, but you You can't make fun of other people's daughters and grandchildren. I have asked many people. Everyone said that you should not touch animals when you are pregnant. How come you can raise them here? You can't cheat people like this if you want to make money .”

Hearing her husband being said like this, Mrs. Fujimoto immediately became reluctant. She was about to say something, but was stopped by her husband.

Doctor Fujimoto patted the back of his wife's hand lightly, comforted her, and then smiled and said to the questioning Mrs. Oda: "This lady is not the first person to question me like this, nor is Mr. Yutian the first A pet owner who asked me about this issue, since there are people here on both sides today, I will simply explain it to you.”

Speaking of which, Dr. Fujimoto got up and picked up a book from the shelf, opened a page and said to everyone: "Have you ever thought about why the elderly, children, and even patients can keep pets as long as conditions permit, except Pregnant women should be especially careful here?"

The people who were seated again didn't seem to expect that Dr. Fujimoto would ask such a question, and after looking at each other for a while, they shook their heads at the same time.

They just heard people say that it is best not to keep pets in pregnant women's homes, but they haven't really delved into why.

Seeing this, Dr. Fujimoto handed the opened book to everyone, pointed to a pair of colored pictures and said, "The reason why pregnant women become the only one is because of this kind of thing."

Everyone heard the words and looked over, only to see that the doctor had only a colorful picture, and inside the picture was a thin, crooked thing that looked a bit like an earthworm.

Pointing to the colorful picture, the doctor said: "People who keep pets need to worry about parasites most. Among them, Toxoplasma gondii is the most harmful to pregnant women. It can cause fetal malformation or miscarriage, so doctors advise pregnant women not to keep pets."

After listening, Mrs. Oda said with some pride: "Look, I will say that my old sisters must be right. You children just have too little life experience."

Looking at the ugly bug in the photo, Masao Amada started to feel numb, but he asked in puzzlement, "In that case, why do you still say that pregnant women can keep pets in their homes?"

Dr. Fujimoto smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Since it is Toxoplasma gondii that makes pregnant women become the only ones, let's understand Toxoplasma gondii first. Toxoplasma gondii is a parasitic insect that can affect humans and animals. , its host is not single, poultry, livestock, humans and even frogs and snakes can become the host of this parasite. Its transmission route is mainly fecal-oral transmission, and spores will be reproduced in the feces of the ultimate host, Depending on the temperature and humidity, the spores will turn into oocysts within one to two days, and these oocysts will attach to usable plants or other insects, and after being eaten by frogs, mice, or small birds, the Their bodies begin to hatch. The parasitic small animals are eaten by cats, dogs or other animals, and Toxoplasma gondii will parasitize to the new host again to complete spore reproduction. This is the life of Toxoplasma gondii."

Mrs. Yutian rubbed her shoulders and said, "It sounds terrible, why do I have a feeling of chills on my back?"

Hearing this, Masao Amada quickly took off his coat and put it on for his wife.

Dr. Fujimoto smiled and said: "Please don't panic. Parasitic diseases are not uncommon in our lives. In addition to toxoplasma, roundworms, tapeworms, ginger worms, and blood-sucking worms are all possible in our lives. Parasites that you will encounter. Modern medicine has a complete and effective diagnosis and treatment plan for parasitic diseases. Even if you accidentally get this disease, you only need to go to a regular hospital for treatment. They're all reversible, so even with pets, hookworm is a minor annoyance for us."

Mrs. Oda curled her lips and said, "It's not true for pregnant women."

Dr. Fujimoto nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, so if pregnant women who are planning to get pregnant or want to keep pets in their homes, I don't recommend them to keep pets at this time. If there are already pets in the home Pets, I’m really worried, and I can understand that pets should be given away. But if someone asks me if a family with a pregnant woman can keep pets, my answer is still, as long as you take precautions, of course it’s ok.”

Mrs. Oda heard the words and said, "Oh, aren't you contradicting yourself?"

Dr. Fujimoto heard the words and said: "No ma'am, please listen to my explanation. We all know the growth and transmission routes of Toxoplasma gondii now, so it is not difficult to prevent them. If you really don't want to part with your pets at home, If you are pregnant and want to keep them, then you need to do the following. First, go to the hospital to check whether there is toxoplasma infection, pets should also be sent to a professional pet hospital for examination, and deworming and vaccination Needle. If you have antibodies, congratulations, you have been infected and recovered on your own to generate antibodies, and you will not be easily infected with Toxoplasma gondii. If you and your pets are negative, then the following It's very important, please remember it well."

Dr. Fujimoto said that he took a look at Yutian and his wife here, and found that they were listening to him very seriously. Then he continued: "First, pay attention to family hygiene, and don't give space for parasites or other fungal germs to live. Second, You have seen the first-level hosts I just mentioned, all of which are cats’ favorite food, so to some extent, cats are more likely to be parasitized by Toxoplasma gondii than dogs, so cats in pregnant women’s homes should not be in Be let out to prevent them from eating things they shouldn’t eat outside. Toxoplasma gondii and other parasites are mainly transmitted through the feces, so pregnant women should not touch the pet’s feces, and urine needs to be careful, and don’t let pets go Lick your face, especially the nose and mouth area. Remember to wash your hands after playing with pets, and don’t sleep with pets when you are pregnant. Fourth, wear anti-bite masks for dogs when they go out for a walk, so as to avoid They scare other people, and you can also prevent them from licking things outside. In addition, it is best to wear a pet collar with insect repellent effect for a long time, so as to prevent pets from being disturbed by parasites. Fifth, do not feed pets Anything raw, because parasites can be killed by high temperature, so there is no risk of being parasitic when feeding cooked food to pets. Parasites do not appear in people's lives for no reason , They must have a host if they want to come to people, so isolating the host from being parasitized is an important means of cutting off parasitic diseases, as long as you can strictly follow the above points, pets can coexist peacefully with pregnant women."

After hearing the words, the Yutian couple said to Dr. Fujimoto very gratefully: "Thank you very much. We will go for an examination immediately after we go back. As for Caesar, I will leave it to you."

Upon hearing what her daughter and son-in-law said, Mrs. Oda was also a little anxious. She said: "Will the pet be infected if you keep it at home and touch and hold it? And the husky in their family is really noisy. What if I accidentally hit my daughter?"

Dr. Fujimoto heard the words and said: "Madam, Toxoplasma gondii is an internal parasite, and its main parasitic site is the digestive system. In addition, the liver, subcutaneous and even the brain may be parasitic, but the skin and fur It will never be parasitized, just like ectoparasites such as fleas, lice, and mites are absolutely impossible to survive in the body. In fact, compared with pets, people eating contaminated food is the main cause of Toxoplasma gondii infection , so pregnant women must not eat raw food. As for your concern about the husky being too lively, I think it can be solved. I know a professional pet training organization that specializes in training guide dogs and rescue dogs for the disabled. They have a service for a fee, which is to train dogs to take care of the elderly, children and pregnant women at home in a friendly manner. If you need it, I can give you their contact information.”

After hearing this, the Yutian couple nodded repeatedly and said: "Need, we need it too much. Mr. Fujimoto, you are indeed the best veterinarian in the county. We are lucky to know you. We will definitely follow your opinions and suggestions."

So far Mrs. Oda was still a little reluctant, but she couldn't find a reason to object, so she decided not to speak up, and went out to inquire to see if what the veterinarian said was right.

If this guy surnamed Fujimoto is really talking nonsense for the sake of money, let's see if she will come back to settle accounts with him.
