Pet King

From the story of Meng Li, Zhang Zi'an knew that although he had not raised a Cocker Spaniel, he had at least been in close contact for a long time, understood some of their habits, and had feelings for them, not because they were small and wanted to be different.

He opened the display case and took out the only cocker spaniel here.

This is a black, white, and brown three-color American Cocker Spaniel with distinctive features. Some foreheads and cheeks are brown. The nose, nose, head, neck, and chest are white. The rest is black. The whole body is covered with long Hair with two long big ears hanging down the sides of his head. Pure brown cocker spaniel puppies are easily confused with labrador puppies, but tricolor cocker spaniels are unique. It was very lively, and as soon as it left the display cabinet, it struggled to jump out of Zhang Zi'an's arms.

Zhang Zi'an was also skeptical at first, worried that Meng Li would buy an English Cocker Spaniel, but listening to his description, the British family also owned an American Cocker Spaniel. The British Cocker Spaniel's hair was relatively short and would not be so Frequently hooked by thorns and bushes.

He put it on the top of the display cabinet, and gently pressed it to prevent it from running around, so that Meng Li could observe carefully.

"Is this the correct American Cocker Spaniel?" He confirmed.

"That's right, that's it. How much is it?" Meng Li replied affirmatively, reaching into his arms for his wallet.

Zhang Zi'an stopped him. "Wait a minute, I have to tell you something in advance-do you know why such dogs are kept less in China?"

Meng Li quickly replied: "Because there is a lot of exercise, you need someone to accompany it-but it doesn't matter, I will try to accompany it, even if something happens, I can let the graduate student I bring with it."

Zhang Zi'an: "..." Nima's hard-working postgraduate admission is not for walking your dog.

He was very fortunate that he did not agree to Wei Kang's request. If he became a graduate student of Wei Kang, would he have to pick up **** all day?

"What you said is just a small aspect. Although the Cocker Spaniel has a lot of exercise, other dogs are not small, which is not the main reason." Zhang Zi'an corrected, and raised one side of his ear, greeting Meng Lidao: " Come and smell it. "

Meng Li hesitated for a moment, still bending down and sniffing his nose to his ears.

"... seems to have a smell?" He straightened up, not sure.

"That's right." Zhang Zi'an lowered his ears. "Since its ears always hang down on both sides, the ear socket is very humid, and it is easy to produce odors and breed mites. You need to use special ear cleaning solution for cleaning and disinfection-I said Often, it means once every two days or even once a day. This alone can dissuade many people. When you were in England, didn't you wash Julie's ears? "

Meng Li frowned and thought for a moment, "I've seen it a few times, but I don't know if I need to wash it every day."

He further explained: "I usually just take Julie for a walk in the morning and one night, and the family is responsible for things like bathing and cutting hair ... But no problem, I can leave these to the graduate students to do credits."

Zhang Zi'an said that you are ruthless, that the all-round postgraduate students of Zenima are better than temporary workers! You wouldn't be irritated when you went to school that year, would you retaliate after you came out?

"In addition to these, Cocker Spaniel has another serious potential hidden danger." Zhang Zi'an said, "It is this type of dog that has genetic defects."

"Genetic defect?" Meng Li took it seriously after listening, after all, even a omnipotent graduate student could not solve this problem.

"Well, about the genetic defects of pets, the more famous is the folded ear cat. Many people know that the hind limb bones of the folded ear cat are prone to abnormal development." Zhang Zi'an rubbed the head of the cocker spaniel, sobbed softly and stretched out His tongue licked his wrist. "The cocker spaniel also has a genetic defect, that is, their eyes-they are much more likely to have cataracts than other dogs."

"Cataract ..." Meng Li heard and couldn't tell what he was feeling-both worried and relieved. Cataracts are not a major disease compared to skeletal genetic diseases that fold-ear cats cannot cure.

"Yes, it's cataracts." Zhang Zi'an affirmed, "Many people can't accept to spend a lot of money to treat a pet after they buy a pet, especially the chance of it getting sick is very high. In addition, cataracts are good for people. It ’s a minor operation, but it ’s a major operation for dogs. Dogs are bigger than humans, and they ’re very sensitive. They have poor sanitary conditions. The surgical wounds are prone to inflammation and infection, and eventually blindness. This possibility must be considered. "

"Oh." Meng Li bowed her head and thought for a long time without talking.

Zhang Zian stroked the cocker spaniel's hair, waiting patiently for his decision. In fact, cocker spaniels are more likely to develop cataracts, but they are far less likely to have a nearly 100% incidence of skeletal diseases than fold-ear cats. It's just that the ears are too cute, knowing that they may bring pain and torture to themselves, but some people still try to buy them for luck. In contrast, dogs are not so lucky ...

When Zhang Zi'an saw the Cocker Spaniel at the pet house breeding base, he felt that Sun Yinian was dizzy, how could he introduce such a less popular dog.

Meng Li didn't care about the money for his treatment, he just worried about whether it could be cured and whether there would be hidden dangers.

"Is it going to happen?" He asked.

"Not necessarily." Zhang Zi'an advised. "This dog is currently four months old. If you are not assured, you can wait for two months."

"Why wait for two months?" Meng Li wanted to crook ~ www.readwn.com ~ because it is suitable for cataract surgery in winter? "

"That doesn't mean that," Zhang Zi'an explained. "Whether the cocker spaniel will have cataracts can be determined at six months of age. So if you don't want to take risks, you can wait for two months to come back and buy, You'll know if it needs surgery. "

Zhang Zi'an can understand his hesitation, no one wants to buy a sick dog to go back, and spend extra money not to say, but also add to his heart. Although cocker spaniels have hidden dangers of cataracts, if they develop disease, they will show signs at the age of six months, and an experienced veterinarian can easily confirm the diagnosis. I really want to buy a cocker spaniel, and I am worried about the disease, so I might buy a half-old puppies for more than six months.

Zhang Zi'an was so frank that Meng Li was deeply surprised. He also understood why Professor Wei Kang would strongly recommend buying here.

"If it hasn't been bought and two months later it has been diagnosed with cataracts, what do you do with it?" Meng Li asked tentatively.

"Of course it is cured before it is sold." Zhang Zi'an replied without hesitation. "Let the veterinarian in this clinic give me a discount. When I bought it from the pet breeding base, I was mentally prepared. I also greeted the veterinarian here-who made the breeding base run by her family! "
