Chapter 732 Warmth
The mountain road slowly turned dark. Lu Jingxing stared at the road in front of him, recalling the knowledge about poultry treatment in his mind.

The knowledge I read in books at that time is still vivid in my mind.

Newborn calves are prone to pneumonia, enteritis, colds and other diseases due to their low resistance.

In winter, calves are more susceptible to digestive and respiratory diseases.

Therefore, it is very important to eat colostrum. The milk produced within seven days after calving is colostrum. During this period, feeding and management must be strengthened, and attention should be paid to cold protection and warmth, so that calves can grow up healthily.

The natural world is magical. Newly born animals, such as giraffes and cows, as long as they can stand up about 90 minutes after birth, are probably in good health and will thrive as long as they are taken care of for a few days. After all, for animals in the wild, sometimes time is life. When you are giving birth, those carnivorous animals will not give you preferential treatment just because you are pregnant. In the face of hunger, everything is equal.

After turning a few corners, we arrived at the door of the courtyard.

On both sides of the road were villagers watching the show with flashlights, standing on both sides of the road as if greeting some important person. Yang Pei slowly drove the car into the yard.

Most of the old people in the countryside have nothing to do. They either play cards or walk around talking in the evening. It is rare for such a big event to bring all the villagers together.

After getting off the car, several villagers immediately surrounded Lu Jingxing, describing his condition. Lu Jingxing smiled and said to the villagers: "Folks, don't worry, I will take down the equipment and then take a closer look. "

Just when Lu Jingxing couldn't get out, Aunt Yu rushed out from the side and pushed the villagers aside with the momentum of King Qin sweeping the world.

"I told you not to worry, Divine Doctor Lu will definitely cure Niu Xiaozi, so why do you need to worry so much here?"

Lu Jingxing smiled, and Yang Pei put on their equipment, gloves and masks, and walked into the back room surrounded by villagers.

On the kang in the back room, a calf was wrapped tightly in quilt. Lu Jingxing reached out to touch the cow's head, opened his eyelids and looked at its eyes.

The cow's eyes have been sunken, which is a very bad phenomenon.

According to his guess, the cow must be severely dehydrated, otherwise its eyes would not be sunken.

Like traditional Chinese medicine, Lu Jingxing put his hand on the cow's neck and felt the cow's pulse. The calf's pulse was very weak, and seemed to be absent. Even if he put his hand on the cow's nose, he could only feel a little bit. Hot and humid breath blew out of his nose.

The owner of the calf walked in from outside the house at this time. He hurriedly asked: "Doctor, looking at it like this, can it be saved?"

Lu Jingxing cleared his throat: "Approximately when did you start having these symptoms?"

"It was almost yesterday. As soon as the temperature dropped, I didn't pay that much attention. When I went there the next morning, I couldn't stand anymore."

"Does it have diarrhea?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Yes, it almost got on the kang. Fortunately, we reacted in time and didn't let it get on the kang, otherwise we would be in trouble." The owner looked helpless.

Lu Jingxing touched the calf's head, put his hand into the quilt, felt the calf's body temperature, and immediately asked Yang Pei to bring the temperature needle over, and inserted it diagonally forward into the calf's rectum.

"I suspect that the cow is dehydrated due to digestive tract disease caused by a cold. I will try my best to treat it for you. Whether it can be cured or not depends entirely on the nature of the cow."

Lu Jingxing knew that this was already a dangerous situation. Although the owner had taken measures to keep warm in a timely manner, he was still a cold cow after all, and it was so late to receive treatment. He didn’t know what caused it. Could it be done? Curing it is really hard to say.

Lu Jingxing asked Yang Pei to get a bottle of saline solution, and then asked the owner to get a basin of hot water.

When Yang Pei brought the salt water over, Lu Jingxing soaked the salt water in hot water and used his right hand to test the cow's veins.

Although it was very faint, Lu Jingxing could still vaguely touch the beating life.

Lu Jingxing inserted the needle into the salt water bottle and inserted the needle at the other end into the calf's vein quickly and accurately.

"Take it and raise it higher," Lu Jingxing said to Yang Pei.

Yang Pei took the saline bottle and lifted it up to ensure that the saline solution could penetrate into the calf's body.

Lu Jingxing took out the thermometer and looked at it. The body temperature was low. A normal cow's body temperature should be around 37 degrees, but this cow's body temperature was only 35.6 degrees.

And even though he was on the kang, his body temperature had not returned yet.

Lu Jingxing knew how important a cow was to a farm family. For a farmer's family, it would be a great pity if a cow worth four to five thousand dies.

The pain in my body is one thing, and the pain of seeing the life I brought up since childhood pass away like this is even more painful.

A group of people quietly gathered around the calf, waiting for the calf to open its eyes.

Ten minutes later, the calf's eyes slowly bulged.

Lu Jingxing pried open the cow's mouth with his hands, and he felt bursts of heat emanating from its mouth.

He put his hand into the quilt again. The cow's body temperature was already a little higher than before.

After drinking a bottle of physiological saline, the calf's condition improved significantly.

"Come on, let's try to lift it up," Lu Jingxing said. "One two three, one two three." As everyone worked together, Maverick slowly stood up.

"Stand up, it's okay." Lu Jingxing's heart finally dropped.

"I told you that Dr. Lu can definitely do it. Oh, you didn't believe me at first." Aunt Yu said to the villagers.

"I just didn't expect such a young doctor to have such good skills. I admire him." An old man couldn't help but praise.

"Nothing, nothing, it's a trivial matter. We are just treating a cow. We are not considered miracle doctors. As long as we can help you." Lu Jingxing responded with a smile.

After taking off his equipment and washing his hands, Lu Jingxing went back to take a look at the calf's condition.

Maverick is still a little weak now, but I believe he will get better soon.

Unable to resist such hospitality, Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei waited for the arrival of supper at the host's invitation.

Sitting around the kang with several villagers, warming themselves by the fire, and listening to the villagers' discussions, Lu Jinghang felt warm in his heart.

"Hey, Doctor Xiao Lu, do you have a girlfriend? My girl is just right, why don't I recommend her to you?" a villager joked.

"Come on, your daughter is not worthy of a miracle doctor." Another villager scolded him.

"I think it's just that some people can't give birth to a beautiful girl like me, so they feel bitter." They didn't give in to anyone and talked back to each other.

Yang Pei smiled secretly on the side, chewing melon seeds and looking at the embarrassed Lu Jinghang.

"By the way, what did your previous doctor do?" Lu Jingxing broke the awkward situation and asked the owner proactively.

"Oh, tell him, he has been very busy recently. It seems that there was a swine fever outbreak in a pig farm in the next village, so he ran back and forth there." The owner looked helpless.

"Fortunately, you are here, otherwise this calf would have finished playing today."

Lu Jingxing responded: "Then you can't rely on me every day. It still takes me a while to get here from the city. If there is a traffic jam or something happens in the middle, it may be troublesome. If there are problems in the future, I will have to go to a specialized veterinarian. Not like us who become monks halfway."

The host smiled and replied, "If you consider yourself a monk halfway, then we haven't learned anything. Anyway, thank you Dr. Lu for your help tonight."

Lu Jingxing turned around and took the noodles handed to him: "It's a small matter, if this happens again next time, please contact me again."

While eating noodles, a message popped up on Lu Jingxing's phone, which was sent by Ji Ling.

"We went wild again and didn't come home in the middle of the night." It was accompanied by an angry cat emoticon.

"No Ye, I just finished treating a sick calf, and now it's left to eat noodles." Afraid that Ji Ling wouldn't believe it, he recorded a short video on his mobile phone.

"When will you be able to treat calves? I thought you were great at treating small animals, but I didn't expect you to be able to treat such big animals." Ji Ling looked shocked across the screen.

"All veterinarians must learn to treat poultry. Pets are raised, but poultry is for the benefit of mankind. It's impossible to say that they don't know anything about it..." Lu Jingxing said.

"You run around here and there every day, come back early and rest." Ji Ling knew that there was nothing she could do about him, a workaholic, so she could only persuade him.

"OK OK, I'll be home soon." Lu Jingxing turned off his phone and took another big mouthful of noodles.

It’s true that he hasn’t tasted this taste of his hometown for a long time. The taste between his lips and teeth reminded him of the bowl of noodles his mother had when he was a child when he was tired from studying. Just like the noodles in front of him, there were two eggs nestled in them.

Every time Lu Jingxing would save the eggs for last, he especially liked the sweetness of the last bite.

Before leaving, Lu Jingxing just took some money as a token of his payment. The main reason was that he didn't know how to calculate the price. After all, he didn't use any equipment and didn't need to talk about the cost. He also ate other people's noodles. As Lu Jingxing I came back with a basket of free-range eggs.

"It's hard to refuse such kindness!" he sighed.

After returning home, Lu Jingxing threw himself into the arms of the sofa. Looking at the halo of light on the ceiling, he couldn't help but start to feel trance-like.

"It seems that he is indeed tired." He muttered to himself and lost consciousness.

When Lu Jingxing woke up the next morning, he inexplicably moved from the sofa to the bed, and he was still covered with a quilt.

I picked up my phone and saw that it was already past nine o'clock.

After getting up from the bed in a daze, Lu Jingxing even saw the breakfast bag prepared for him on the table.

After double-checking that he was not in a dream, he sat at the dining table with a small note on the table.

"Brother is so tired that he fell asleep. Remember to pay attention to your health and remember to have breakfast - Chenchen and Xixi"

"These two little guys have grown up." Lu Jingxing felt warm in his heart.
