Pet Clinic Story

A few days later, Zhou Shuyang followed Situ Yue to the Zhongcheng stray animal shelter to participate in this public welfare activity.

The organizer of the event is the Zhongcheng Small Animal Protection Association, which is an official public welfare organization, and the adoption house is established and operated by the association, located in a remote suburb of Zhongcheng.

The Conservation Association rented an abandoned piece of land here, with an area of ​​about two acres, and built hundreds of cages on it to adopt homeless stray animals.

Although it is an animal shelter, in fact, there are basically dogs in it. After all, stray cats can survive on their own, and they are very capable of surviving in the wild, and they are difficult to catch.

Before coming here, Zhou Shuyang had already done enough mental construction, knowing that the conditions in the adoption center would not be much better.

However, when he arrived at the scene, the whole person was shocked.

This is not good, it can be said to be bad, okay? !

The so-called cages are just concrete nests made of bricks, lined up side by side. In front of each cage, there is about a few square meters of activity space, surrounded by iron railings, and at least four or five stray dogs live inside.

The hygienic environment of the cages is also not good. There are feces and urine all over the place, and the food bowls are already rusty, one in the east and one in the west.

There are also various breeds of stray dogs, most of them are stray dogs, of course there are a few purebred dogs occasionally, Zhou Shuyang even saw two huskies and a Labrador.

Maybe he got lost, he guessed in his heart.

All the dogs had disheveled hair, their fur was so dirty that the original color could no longer be seen, and their faces were covered with eye feces. Once they saw people approaching, they began to bark unceasingly, and some cowered in the corner, trembling.

What a pity!

Zhou Shuyang felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't help. This is a social problem that exists all over the world, and it cannot be solved by three or two people.

As long as there are human beings on this planet, as long as there are people raising cats and dogs, then this phenomenon will continue forever, and the government can only take the lead in funding to minimize the damage.

Zhou Shuyang also heard that a certain kind-hearted person adopted stray animals in his own name, but due to limited ability, he had to keep them in residential areas.

With the increasing number of adoptions, the conflicts between the adopters and the surrounding residents are also growing.

A large number of stray cats and dogs will produce a lot of excrement, and it is impossible for the adopter to take each of them out for a walk, so they can only be kept at home, which causes the whole house to continue to emit a strong smell, which makes the neighbors miserable Word.

In addition, so many small animals can't live in peace together. They fight and fight continuously every day, barking one after another, and they can't calm down until late at night, which seriously interferes with other people's daily sleeping.

So the masses finally couldn't bear it, so they reported to the property and the community, and even called the police, and then the two sides clashed and made a big fuss.

This kind of thing occasionally makes news headlines and triggers collective attention and discussion in society.

Most of them are against it. After all, the number of people who love small animals is limited, and there are all kinds of bad words on the Internet. Every time at this time, pet lovers will be blamed and pulled out to flog their corpses.

[Dog slave and cat slave hurry up and take a look, your father is on the news again! 】

[More than 100 are kept in residential areas, do they still have public morality?This is too much! 】

[If you do good yourself, why do you harm the interests of others?This kind of love is not worth mentioning! 】

[Fart love and do good!I think this kind of person has special hobbies, is bored, and likes to do charity to satisfy his desire to be a Bodhisattva! 】

【that is!There is also the so-called release of life, buying a bunch of bastards and throwing them into the river, causing all other fish to be eaten up! 】

[Isn't it!There are people who set snakes, which is even more abominable!There are also foxes, which made me climb a mountain now, thinking it was a joke! 】

[What is there to save these broken cats and dogs?In my opinion, they should all be dispatched to Yulin to be eaten, and they should be used to the best of their ability! 】

[Don't speak so harshly upstairs, please?Isn't eating dog meat cruel?There are also people who contribute their own money and effort, and don't spend your money. Why are you so excited? 】

[Everyone, look, a dog slave has been caught!You treat animals as parents, so don't drag us along! 】

[That's right, sons and daughters yell at every turn, it's disgusting! 】

[Dog slave!The last time I intercepted a car pulling a dog at high speed, why didn't I pay the freight later? 】

So, this poor minority was scolded by many netizens and ran away with the lid on the pot.

Regarding this kind of matter, Zhou Shuyang couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong. Both sides had their own positions and had legitimate reasons, but they had no choice but contradicted each other, so it was impossible to make a fair judgment.

When the two arrived at the shelter, the activities had just started. Today's main task is to check the cats and dogs, and to treat them with medication immediately if they are serious. At the same time, they also need to bathe and groom the cats and dogs in need, and finally let the small animals eat. A great meal.

But the so-called grooming is nothing more than volunteers holding scissors and combs to groom stray cats and dogs and clean up severely knotted parts.

The volunteers are not professional pet groomers, they are all trying to catch ducks on the shelves, stumbling around.

Situ Yue simply told Zhou Shuyang a few words, nothing more than to pay attention to safety and be careful not to be bitten, and then he was busy treating small animals. Zhou Shuyang joined the beauty army and got busy with other volunteers.

He is partnered with a boy who cuts and unknots the long-haired stray dogs, and then Zhou Shuyang is responsible for cleaning and drying them.

The boy is still in his freshman year. He is only 19 years old this year. He has a very gentle personality. He obediently calls Zhou Shuyang brother.

"I've been fond of cats and dogs since I was a child." The boy said to Zhou Shuyang while trimming the legs of a Shih Tzu with scissors and a comb.

Seeing that Xi Shi Chuan Chuan was quite old, half of her mouthful of teeth had fallen out, and her hair was balled up in many places, covered with mud. At this moment, she was frightened tremblingly, her eyes were full of fright, and she dared not move. Let the boy fiddle with it.

Zhou Shuyang was bathing another puppy, and said with a smile, "Have you ever raised it at home?"

"No." The boy shook his head and said regretfully, "Actually, I never raised it. My mother disagreed. At first she said it was too dirty, but later she said it affected her studies, so let it go."

This is the normal state of many parents for raising pets for their children. Zhou Shuyang and Situ Yue had discussed it before, so when they heard the boy say this, they didn't comment and just smiled kindly.

The boy continued to murmur: "When I graduate and work, my mother won't be able to control me. I want to raise a dog. I like big dogs the most. Brother Zhou, what breed do you think is good? Personally, I prefer huskies. "

Hearing what he said, Zhou Shuyang suddenly remembered that Situ Yue said "don't raise a villa if you don't have a villa", so he said with a smile: "Brother, let me advise you, it's better not to raise a big dog, a small dog is more suitable."

"Why?" The boy looked puzzled, "How majestic a big dog is! Small dogs are too delicate and not suitable for boys."

"It's not a matter of suitability or not." Zhou Shuyang said warmly, "Large dogs are very energetic and require a lot of room for movement. You just graduated and have limited conditions. You should focus on work. Raising a large dog will take up a lot of your time. You There is no energy to take care of it, and both humans and dogs suffer.”

"Really?" The boy still couldn't believe it.

"Really, brother won't lie to you." Zhou Shuyang said seriously, "I've seen this kind of thing too many times. I raised a big dog with full of love, but within a year I found out that I was powerless, so I had to choose to give it away. , This is very psychologically harmful to the dog."

"If you really like small animals, I suggest you get a small dog or cat. Their activities are very small, and they only need to be taken out for a walk once a day. The cat doesn't even need to go out, and the food intake is not large. It's very relaxed, and the small dogs are also clingy, which is also very cute."

"Well... That's true." The boy nodded thoughtfully, and then asked excitedly, "Brother Zhou, do you have any suitable breeds to recommend?"

Zhou Shuyang thought for a while and said: "Teddy, Pomeranian, Pekingese, Schnauzer, Corgi, Chihuahua, starling, French bulldog, etc., these small dogs are all suitable for family breeding. It depends on whether you like long hair or short hair."

"Short hair," said the boy, "long hair tends to shed, so it's hard to deal with."

"Short hair sheds more fiercely!" Zhou Shuyang laughed loudly, "If you want to be clean, I recommend you to raise a Teddy or a Schnauzer. They basically don't shed hair, and they don't have much body odor. They are very clean. You just take them every three months. Just do a beauty treatment in the store, otherwise the hair will grow messy and look like a crazy woman."

The boy also laughed, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, thank you Brother Zhou."

The two were talking, and suddenly, the boy let out a scream: "Oh my God, why is its leg bleeding?!"

Zhou Shuyang immediately looked over and found that Xi Shi's right front leg was broken at some point, and was bleeding outwards. The bright red blood wet the leg hair, which looked really shocking.

"Let me see!" As Zhou Shuyang said, he grabbed Xi Shi's front legs, and Xi Shi trembled into a sieve, like a lamb about to be sent to the slaughterhouse.

After careful inspection, Zhou Shuyang frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "This place was cut, that's why it's bleeding."

Hearing the words, the boy immediately leaned closer to take a closer look, he was stunned, and then burst into tears.

He hugged the Shih Tzu into his arms and said guiltily: "Why didn't you bark? Why didn't you say? I didn't know that I cut your flesh, cut it into such a big piece, and bled so much. I'm sorry! I'm sorry! "

The Shih Tzu couldn't make a sound, trembling all over, with tears in his eyes, but Zhou Shuyang knew that those were tears from being frightened!

It may have been injured several times by humans!

It's just too scary...

However, it didn't dare to resist, and didn't dare to bark, for fear of being brutally beaten!

Feeling guilty and heartbroken, the boy hugged the Shih Tzu dog and cried non-stop, making promises incessantly:

"Are you in pain? Why do you bleed so much... Why don't you scream? Even if you snort, I know I've hurt you. Why don't you say a word? I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I didn't mean it, I Really didn't mean it! I'm sorry..."

Zhou Shuyang sighed lightly, patted the boy, and comforted him: "Don't cry, it's not your fault, and it won't blame you, don't worry, the colleague who came with me is a pet doctor, I'll ask him to come and deal with it , It’s just a small trauma, nothing serious, it will heal soon.”

The boy choked up and hummed. Zhou Shuyang quickly washed the puppy in the basin, then wrapped it in a blanket, ordered the boy to dry it, and got up to find Situ Yue by himself.

Xi Shi Chuan Chuan just stood beside him, still daring not to move.

After a while, Situ Yue came over to check the wound, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, he disinfected and bandaged Xi Shi.

He had already heard Zhou Shuyang explain the general process, so he comforted the heartbroken boy: "It's okay, don't worry, the dog's self-healing ability is very strong, such a small injury, it is estimated that it will heal in two days, within a week and healed completely."

"Brother, have you really treated it?" the boy asked, "Is it not infected? Will it hurt?"

"It won't hurt very much." Situ Yue said patiently, "The pain-sensing nerves in the dog's legs are not sensitive, and the only sensitive parts are the ears, nose, and belly, so you don't have to worry, just keep working hard and don't feel burdened .”

The boy hummed slowly, calmed down a little, wiped the tears from his face, and said seriously: "I really didn't mean it, I'm very sad, I will definitely pay attention in the future, and I will never make this kind of mistake again. "

"Okay!" Situ Yue said with a smile.
