Suffering. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The whole body was in pain like fire, and it burned inside.

The lungs, in particular, breathe in a large amount of scorching soot, and sparks eject from the trachea with each cough.

His eyelids seemed to be swollen as if they were falling into lead, and Richard had difficulty opening his eyes, and could only observe the world through a narrow gap with his eyes half-closed.

The sound heard by the ear has a buzzing echo, sometimes as if it came from a distant horizon, blurry to be heard, and the next moment it seems to be roaring in its ear, like a steel needle piercing the head.

The painful sensation was familiar, it had been experienced once before, and this time its senses were sharper, even more painful than that one.

Its consciousness became blurred, and in a trance it was as if it was back in the laboratory again.

"Erin, please listen calmly to me, it's aspergillosis, you know how terrible this disease is. ”

"Oh my God, are we going to lose it?"

"No, we're not going to lose it, at least not now. ”

"What should we do?"

"We have a cure for aspergillosis, but that is designed for large birds of prey such as eagles, so we have to explore carefully until we find the right dose. Listen, Irene, I'll do my best, and then together we pray to God not to take it away!"

......

"Irene, I'm sorry that the medication didn't work as well as it should. ”

"No! No!"

"Calm down, Irene, we haven't reached the point of despair yet. As your friend and veterinarian, I recommend a thoracotomy to scrape the mold off its chest cavity. ”

"Open chest? What are you kidding! It's a one-pound bird!"

"Listen, Erin, this is our last resort, you don't want to lose it, do you?"

“...... Yes, you're right. Are you going to do the surgery? My friend. ”

"No, I'll contact the best veterinarians in the country for you, they are all microsurgery specialists, they will cure it, I promise!"

......

"Irene, I have good news for you - the operation was a great success!"

"Great! I've been waiting for your call...... I ......"

"Are you crying? Irene. ”

"No, I...... Not crying. They've cleaned up that damn mold, right? It's going to be fine, right? Please tell me!"

"Yes, Irene, their surgery was very successful, and it will be back to you soon - there may be some after-effects, but it will be fine. ”

"Thank goodness!"

......

"Doctor......" Richard muttered.

"Richard, are you awake?"

A hand gently caresses its back, warm, firm and with the alkaline taste characteristic of sterile soft soap.

Lightheadedness.

It struggled to open its heavy eyelids, carefully identifying the person in front of it.

The vision was a little blurry at first, and it really thought that she had appeared in memory - unfortunately, although the temperament was very similar, it was not. Sun Xiaomeng has the same short hair as her, and a younger face, which belongs to the Oriental, and the care flashing in her eyes is even more the same.

Its eyes rolled, not as nimble as they used to, but it was still recognizable as the furnishings around it—not a laboratory, just a very ordinary living room, on the second floor of a common pet store.

Richard didn't know how long he had been asleep, and it was already dark outside the window. The construction noise downstairs has disappeared, probably not early, the workers are worried about disturbing the people, and today's work is over.

"Doctor......" It struggled to its feet, staggering a little.

Sun Xiaomeng held it up, letting it lean most of its weight on her hand. Only then did she realize how light it was, less than half the weight of a human brain. It is a miracle of nature that such a petite body can be born with wisdom comparable to that of human beings.

And now, miracles are disappearing, as if nature is trying to fix small mistakes in the evolutionary chain.

"Don't move, Richard, come get some medicine. ”

Sun Xiaomeng pinched two capsules and stretched them to its beak.

"What is this?" it asked.

"Do you really want to know? Okay, I poured out the original medicine in the cold capsule and stuffed it into my own medicine, which includes nystatin and ciprofloxacin, as well as a multivitamin, and you'll be fine after taking it." ”

The fatality rate of acute mycosis is very high, because the shortest time from the onset of symptoms to death is only 3 hours, and if it occurs at night, the owner may not even have time to notice - even if it is detected by chance, it is too late to send it to the hospital, which is the terrible thing about acute mycosis.

Richard was unlucky, but also lucky, it happened that Wang Qian and Li Kun were also there when he became ill, and he called Zhang Zi'an as soon as possible, gaining precious time. Since then, whether it is Wang Qian, Li Kun's repeated errands, Sun Xiaomeng's quick decision, or Jin Er's speeding car, they are actually racing against death, and it is uncertain who will die.

Richard stared at the two capsules before opening his beak and eating them for a few seconds.

"Don't bite, swallow whole. Sun Xiaomeng reminded.

Richard complied and swallowed both capsules.

"Great. She breathed a sigh of relief. It really helped that Richard was so understanding, and she was worried that it would refuse to swallow the capsule out of bird instinct.

These pills were carefully ground into powder by Sun Xiaomeng using Zhang Zi'an's home chopping board and rolling pin, and then filled into cold capsules for Richard to take. If you follow the conventional method of mixing the medicine with food and taking it together, the effect is too slow, and I am afraid it will be too late.

"Come, drink some water. She took a small porcelain wine glass, which Zhang Zi'an's father used to drink, and one cup could hold half a tael of wine.

At this time, the wine glass was not filled with wine, but with a clear liquid with a slight touch of blue.

"This is a 0.5% concentration of copper sulfate solution, which is toxic, but can cure your disease, which is called 'fighting poison with poison' in China. ”

Sun Xiao dreamed that Richard was staring at the liquid, thinking that it didn't dare to drink it, so he explained to it.

"Doctor, I'll drink, but that won't save me. ”

Richard said indifferently, bowing his head and sucking the copper sulfate solution into his mouth.

It understands that the nightmares of yesteryear have not been eradicated, but have been quietly revived. Last time, these drugs failed to save it, and it had to travel thousands of miles to perform microsurgery, and this time it could not be saved either. It did not believe that it was possible to perform microsurgery in this humble pet shop.

To its surprise, Sun Xiaomeng even nodded in agreement with its statement.

"You're right, these alone won't save you. ”

Still, her face was filled with unwavering confidence. Even those veterinarians on the other side of the ocean who have golden signs do not have the confidence she has in the face of aspergillosis. Richard couldn't help but be stunned, and even infected by her strong confidence.

She smiled and held out an arm, motioning for it to stand up.

"Come, let's go for a walk together. ”
