Pet Clinic Story

Half a month has passed since the day of Pengpeng's burial. During this period, Mrs. Yao has not been to the pet clinic again, presumably because she is afraid of seeing something sad.

Zhou Shuyang would think of Mrs. Yao from time to time, worrying about her, unable to face the loneliness of being alone.

"What do you think Aunt Yao should do?" During lunch, he held a disposable lunch box and said to Situ Yue.

"That's something her daughter should worry about." Situ Yue said indifferently, "You and I can't help much."

"That's the truth, but I always feel a little uncomfortable." Zhou Shuyang sighed and complained: "The things that day were like a revolving lantern, flashing through my mind from time to time, seriously affecting my daily life and work. "

Situ Yue didn't make a sound, just quickly stripped the food in the lunch box, put it in a plastic bag, then leaned on the office chair, stared blankly at the scenery outside the glass window, tapped the table with his right index finger unconsciously, and said after a long time:

"The shock of parting from life and death is indeed great, especially witnessing the gradual disappearance of life in front of you, from a pile of thoughtful organic matter to inorganic matter, that feeling..." He looked up at Zhou Shuyang, and said in a deep voice : "It will make you unhappy for a long time."

"There are times when we get together and leave, but nothing lasts forever." Zhou Shuyang said.

Situ Yue joked with a smile: "You also like listening to her songs?"

"It's not bad, the early ones are very good." Zhou Shuyang said, "Lin Xi's lyrics are really well written, and the philosophy and artistic conception are very good."

Situ smiled and said nothing, Zhou Shuyang stared at his handsome face, under the bright sunlight at noon, his whole body exuded an indescribable smell, it was a very manly temperament, which brought infinite security to people It makes people feel that as long as they stand behind this man, they will not be hurt.

Zhou Shuyang suddenly remembered something again, and asked, "Did you continue to get the rabies vaccine? How many shots are left? Don't forget."

"I just got the second injection a few days ago, and there's the last one." Situ Yue said casually, "Don't worry, I won't forget it, it's recorded in the reminders on my phone."

Zhou Shuyang nodded and said, "That's good."

"Actually, I checked that day, and there were no ulcers in the mouth." Situ Yue said, "This is a first-degree exposure, and there is no need for rabies vaccination."

"Level one exposure, what do you mean?" Zhou Shuyang asked.

"Level [-] exposure means contact with animal secretions or excrement when the skin is intact and without any wounds. This is risk-free. You only need to wash the contact area carefully, preferably with soapy water. I was There is no wound inside, even contact with Pengpeng's saliva is a first-level exposure."

"Secondary exposure means that there is no obvious wound on the skin, such as no obvious scratches, bites, or bleeding, and there is a wound but it has healed already. In this case, it is in contact with animal secretions or excrement, and the contact area needs to be cleaned , followed by vaccination, a total of three injections."

"Level [-] exposure means that the skin has been damaged and bleeding. In this case, the wound needs to be treated properly, and then the vaccine will be injected, a total of four injections."

"Oh... so it's so detailed." Zhou Shuyang said, "Although yours is considered a first-degree exposure, it's still safer to get an injection. What if you don't know where your mouth is broken? There is no cure for this." Save the sickness, be careful with the Ten Thousand Years Ship!"

Situ Yue smirked: "Where is my own mouth broken?"

"That's not impossible." Zhou Shuyang said seriously, "It's only a little bit broken and it doesn't hurt, so you don't feel it, and you can't see it yourself. If you knew it earlier, you should call me to show you."

"I can't even see it myself, so it's okay to let you see it?" Situ Yue laughed.

"Why can't it work?" Zhou Shuyang said, "I can use a flashlight to help you look carefully. If you don't believe me, try it?"

Situ Yue raised his eyebrows and teased, "Then why don't you come over and try?"

"Just try it." Zhou Shuyang walked up to Situ Yue with a few steps.

Situ Yue leaned lazily in his chair, holding his right elbow with his left hand, and his chin with his right hand, looking up at him with mockery in his eyes.

Zhou Shuyang stuck for a while like a stake, then subconsciously stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick his red lips, mockingly said: "Try a fart! You're playing me again! The needle is almost finished, it's too late to see it or not." Then he turned and sat back chair, crossed his legs, lowered his head and began to scan his phone.

Situ Yue stared at Zhou Shuyang's handsome face for a moment, then shifted his gaze to his white ear, which was bleeding red at this time... Situ Yue moved a little, changed to a less stuck and comfortable position, coughed lightly, and said : "Actually, I think, um..."

Zhou Shuyang looked up, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think..." Situ Yue rubbed his chin, and said slowly, "The name rabies is not very friendly to dogs, and it's a little bit misleading."

Zhou Shuyang: "..."

"I'll ask you a question." Situ Yue ignored Zhou Shuyang's dissatisfaction and said to himself, "How do you get rabies?"

Zhou Shuyang said without hesitation: "I was bitten by a sick dog!"

"What about the cat?" Situ Yue asked, "If you get scratched or bitten by a cat, will you get it?"

Zhou Shuyang thought for a while, nodded uncertainly, and replied: "It should be."

Situ Yue hummed, expressing his affirmation, and continued to ask: "Where is the bat? Will it hurt if you get bitten by a bat?"

"Bat, bat?" Zhou Shuyang was stunned, and asked, "How could you be bitten by a bat?"

Situ Yue couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Some bats will enter houses by mistake. You are a rural child, have you never seen it?"

Zhou Shuyang shook his head: "Anyway, my house has never been here."

"Okay, then you can answer, will you get rabies?" Situ Yue said.

Zhou Shuyang thought for a long time this time, and finally said: "Aren't bats rodents? Don't they spread plague? Rabies shouldn't be contagious... right?" Then he asked: "Is it possible?"

Situ Yue didn't answer, but asked, "What about pigs, horses, cattle and sheep? Rabbits? Rats? Civets? Giant pandas?"

Zhou Shuyang: "…………………"

"Master Director? Are you making fun of me?" Zhou Shuyang smiled helplessly, "Pigs, horses, cattle and sheep are infected with this? Also, what the hell is a civet cat? Isn't that SARS? And giant pandas? I have to have it too." Fate!"

Situ Yue said indifferently: "The reason why I ask so many questions is just to strengthen your memory."

"Oh, thank you in advance." Zhou Shuyang said blankly, "Then, sir, can you announce the answer?"

Situ Yue smiled and said: "The answer is that all mammals can carry and spread rabies, not just dogs, but cats have a higher cure rate. As for bats..."

As he spoke, Situ Yue paused, and mocked: "Boss Zhou, do you think it has a mouse face, so it's a rodent?"

Zhou Shuyang asked strangely: "Isn't it? Ah——? Did I remember wrong?"

"Well, it's really not." Situ Yue said, "Bats belong to the order Mammalia and Chiroptera, and among the known mammals in the world, the only beast that can really fly, even though its aliases are sky squirrel, flying squirrel, and rock squirrel." Rats, things like that have the word rat, but they're not rodents."

"Long posture!" Zhou Shuyang said in amazement: "It's really unexpected that it is a mouse with wings, but it is a mammal."

However, Situ Yue did not let him go, and continued to mock him: "Although it is not a rodent, rodents also belong to breastfeeding, so no matter whether it belongs to rodents or other species, it can transmit rabies.

"The two cognitions you just made are all wrong: first, bats are not rodents, and second, rodents are also mammals, and they are also infected with rabies."

Zhou Shuyang was turned around by Situ Yue, and he complained: "I'm not a zoologist, and I don't like to read "Animal World". This is not common sense. Is it normal to be wrong?"

"Let's educate you again." Situ Yue ignored it and continued: "Among all mammals, bats have the highest disease-causing rate. Once bitten by them, the wound must be treated immediately and then rabies vaccine should be injected. "

"Oh, I see." Zhou Shuyang nodded obediently.

"The pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, and rabbits I mentioned just now include giant pandas." Situ Yue said, "These are mammals, all of which can carry and spread rabies virus, but they belong to the low-risk category, while cats and dogs belong to the high-risk category.”

"Why?" Zhou Shuyang asked curiously, "Is it because of some special physiological structure?"

"That's not true." Situ Yue replied, "It's because cats and dogs have the most contact with humans, especially dogs. Humans have been raising dogs since primitive society. During tens of thousands of years of changes, dogs have always been with humans. The best assistant for herding and hunting."

"It is precisely because of this that dogs have become the highest source of infection, so it leaves an impression on everyone that this terrible incurable disease is only related to dogs, and the name rabies also strengthens this point. So people Talking about dog bites, the fear of being bitten is even higher than the fear of physical trauma, such as falling and bleeding, or breaking arms and legs."

Hearing this, Zhou Shuyang subconsciously made up his mind for a moment. It is true that bumps and bumps usually never feel much pain, but when he thought of being bitten by a dog, he suddenly felt terrified, as if bitten by a poisonous snake, so he nodded in agreement.

Situ Yue explained: "This kind of fear comes from the common sense that people know: this is an incurable disease, and if you get it, you will die. It is the same as AIDS and homophobia. In fact, it is indirectly derived from the fear of death."

"Oh, what you said makes sense." Zhou Shuyang nodded slowly, then suddenly shifted his focus, and asked abruptly, "Then are you homophobic?"

Situ Yue: "..."

Zhou Shuyang stared at Situ Yue's brown eyes, and said seriously: "Are you homophobic?"

Situ Yue took a deep breath, made a very helpless expression, and said lightly: "I'm not homophobic, are you satisfied?"

"Oh, I'll just ask casually." Zhou Shuyang said with a smile, "What makes me satisfied? Look at what you said."

Situ Yue turned to look out of the window, bringing back the topic of going to the Pacific Ocean, and said: "The English name of rabies is Rabies, you see, it has nothing to do with Dog, but in China, as early as the "Zuo Zhuan" in the Spring and Autumn Period Among them, there is the name rabies, which has been passed down for thousands of years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"So now many people mistakenly believe that only dogs can transmit rabies, and some people even have a lot of hostility towards dogs because of fear, but they don't know that cats have a higher incidence rate. In addition, rabbits, Dutch Pets like pigs, hamsters."

"And with the development of the economy, more and more special pets have entered the family, such as foxes, ferrets, sugar gliders - also known as little flying squirrels, and even alpacas... Oh, grass mud horses, it is possible Spread rabies, but few people pay attention to it."

Zhou Shuyang: "..."

Zhou Shuyang thought to himself, what the hell is a grass mud horse?ah?Does anyone really raise this kind of beast now?It's so weird!

"So?" He said blankly.

Zhou Shuyang was already getting a little impatient to hear it, and wondered why this guy talked so much today?Usually, I can't say ten words to me from morning till night, but as long as I talk to him professionally, I will immediately turn into a pea soldier, chug and chug endlessly.

He was imagining the Dou Bing in "Plants vs. Zombies" in his mind, and Situ Yue said: "So prevention is the key! Whether cats and dogs, rabbits or mice, or minks and alpacas, as long as they are domestic mammals, they must Adhere to the rabies vaccine every year, one shot a year is not expensive, and prevent problems before they happen."

"Oh, I got it!" Zhou Shuyang snapped his fingers and asked, "Then, sir, let me ask you one last question."

"Ask." Situ Yue said leisurely.

"Are you thirsty? Does your throat hurt?" Zhou Shuyang said softly, with a bright smile in his eyes.

Situ Yue: "..."

Not long after, Zhou Shuyang came in from the outside and put a steaming cup of lemon honey water on Situ Yue's table. Situ Yue raised his hand to hold the cup, and the temperature was just right.

The amber liquid exudes a thick mist, the aroma of lemon mixed with the sweetness of honey, exuding a seductive smell, Zhou Shuyang casually put his hand on Situ Yue's shoulder, squeezed it lightly, bowed, and whispered in his ear Said: "My lord, moisten your throat..."

The author has something to say: small class of popular science:

Domestic mammal pets, please vaccinate against rabies on time, especially dogs. Now the country is preparing to eradicate rabies, so many large pet hospitals have established: free rabies vaccination points, you can get free injections only with a dog license!In addition, it is not expensive at your own expense, and the effect of import is the best. The price of one injection is around 0 yuan, depending on the region, and one injection per year is enough.

PS: Two cute and cool little Gongs from my family, are you still testing each other?Haha, when did you lose your horse?
