Shishi thought that since Zhang Zi'an accepted Zhao Qi's cat, it would not be a problem to accept this dog again, but when she heard this, she immediately asked in shock: "Why?"

"Because it is sick, it is cured first when it is sick. Zhang Zi'an replied very simply and resolutely, "Our store does not accept sick pets for fostering, even if you go to other stores, people will not accept them." ”

"It's just a cold!" Shishi emphasized, picking up the Labrador from the ground, "You see, Little Ra only has some coughing and sneezing, but she's actually very healthy! ”

"Cold medicine, you mean cold medicine for people?" Zhang Zi'an asked rhetorically.

Shishi blinked, with an expression that was really superfluous for what you asked, "Of course, it's a very high-end imported cold medicine, and I usually take it when I have a cold." ”

"Dogs can't take human cold medicine, and while it hasn't had any unusual reactions, I suggest you take it to the vet clinic as soon as possible for a proper check-up. Zhang Zi'an said solemnly.

"Ahh

"Because human cold medicine can contain ingredients that are harmful to dogs. Zhang Zi'an patiently explained, "Of course, the specific situation is analyzed, not all cold medicines are like this, take a step back, even if the ingredients of this cold medicine itself are harmless to dogs, but do you know how much dosage dogs should take? The dosage of medicine given to pets is calculated according to the weight of pets - how many milligrams per kilogram of body weight and how many micrograms, you can't simply and rudely take two tablets at a time according to human standards, have you calculated it when you gave it medicine?"

"This ......" the poem couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "people are liberal arts students......"

"This has something to do with the liberal arts and physiology students!" Zhang Zi'an complained, and pointed to the little red sweater worn by the Labrador and asked, "What's going on with this sweater?"

"I bought it for Xiaola! isn't it cold!" she replied confidently.

"Did you put it on before it caught a cold, or did you put it on after you caught a cold?" Zhang Zi'an asked again.

Shishi put her finger against her forehead in a meditative gesture, "Hmm...... I want to think about it...... Seems like before a cold?"

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, maybe it's because you put a sweater on it that it catches a cold!" Zhang Zi'an said firmly.

"Why? The sweater I bought for it because it changed the sky a few days ago, and I was afraid that it would catch a cold!" Shishi asked incredulously, and this was the third time she had asked why.

Zhang Zi'an explained: "Because medium and large dogs do not need to wear additional clothes, their own hair and muscles can generate enough heat, we are not here in the ice and snow of Siberia, you dress it so thick, and then take it to walk the dog, the heat generated by its body when it is exercising can not be dissipated, go home and take off the clothes and then lie on the cold floor, sudden cold and heat, which may be the cause of its cold." ”

Shishi said unconvinced: "But I see that many people are like this, and they all dress cats and dogs in all kinds of beautiful clothes...... Besides, doesn't that tanuki cat in your store also wear a riding coat and a hat?"

Her voice was a little sharp, and Lao Cha, who was innocently lying on the gun, moved her ears and looked out the door.

Zhang Zi'an: "......"

The matter of old tea is put aside first, in fact, she is right, in winter, I often see people with pets when they go out will put on thick clothes, such as vests, sweaters, hats, scarves, shoes and the like, dressed like dogs, for fear that pets will be frozen.

Zhao Qi said hesitantly: "Actually, I also want to get some clothes for my Lanlan...... Isn't that right?"

"It depends on the situation, cats generally stay at home and don't go out, and very few cats will lie directly on the ground, so cats don't have to wear clothes - as for the tanuki cats in my store...... Because it's older. For the sake of rigor, Zhang Zi'an added, "Unless it's a Sphynx cat, that kind of cat basically has no hair on its whole body and needs to wear clothes in winter." ”

A few days ago, he saw Xu Junyu, the makeup artist of the crew of "War Dogs", show a set of photos in the circle of friends, she made a small dress for her Sphynx cat, and he also liked it at the time, because Sphynx cats do need to be dressed in winter, and some Shar Pei dogs also need it, but most other young and strong cats don't need it.

Cats are very sensitive animals, they need to rely on the hair on their bodies to sense airflow, and some cats can cause their senses to be disturbed when they are clothed, like drunkenness.

As for long-haired cats such as Siberian forest cats, Norwegian forest cats, ragdolls, and Persian cats, it is even more superfluous to dress them, and even if people freeze to death, they will not freeze to death.

"Besides, most of the clothed dogs you see on the street are puppies like teddy or Chihuahuas, right?" Zhang Zi'an asked.

Shishi nodded ignorantly.

"That's right, small dogs may need to be dressed in winter because they have a large specific surface area and body heat dissipation quickly and need clothes to keep warm, while medium and large dogs have a small specific surface area and a stronger ability to keep their bodies warm. Zhang Zi'an pointed to her Labrador, "Do you think Labrador is a puppy?"

"Isn't that right? shouldn't the puppy's surface area be smaller?" asked Shishi. In fact, she missed the word "than", or it may be that she heard it clearly, but ignored it because she didn't understand it.

"It's the specific surface area! The ratio of the surface area to the volume! Take the sphere, the smaller the radius, the larger the specific surface area, and the larger the radius, the smaller the specific surface area. The same goes for dogs. Zhang Zi'an struggled to popularize some mathematical knowledge for her.

"Oh," she nodded understandingly, "I'm a liberal arts student......"

"Don't use liberal arts students as an excuse, liberal arts students should also know these common sense!" Zhang Zi'an suspected that she was a math teacher and died early!

Shi Shi said confidently: "But people just don't understand! If you write, you can also write these in, I guess many people don't understand." ”

"I won't write when I say that...... Having said that, this dog has a cold, if you don't understand, don't treat it blindly, it's better to send it to the pet clinic as soon as possible. Zhang Zi'an pulled the topic back.

"I'm worried that Xiaola will be infected with other diseases if she is sent to ......the pet clinic," Shishi said very entangledly, "Store Manager Zhang, you know so much, why don't you help my Xiaola to cure it?"

"No, first of all, I'm not a practicing veterinarian, I don't have a medical license, and secondly, I don't dare to let your dog into my shop, I'm afraid that its cold will spread to my dogs!"

For the sake of prudence, Zhang Zi'an kept talking to them outside against the cold wind, and did not invite them into the store, for fear that this Labrador cold would infect other puppies.

"Why? My little Ra doesn't have the flu! it's just a common cold!" said Shishi again self-righteously.

Liu Sanlang thought for a while, and also echoed: "I remember that the pet sale agreement says that the dog in your store has been vaccinated against the flu, and will it get the flu?"

"There are many types of influenza, and influenza viruses often mutate, and vaccines are only for some respiratory infections. In addition, it is difficult to distinguish between the flu and the common cold in terms of symptoms, even the common cold is divided into infectious and non-infectious, I am not an expert in this area, even if my dog has a cold, I still have to isolate it from other dogs, and then rush to the pet clinic. ”

As he spoke, the Labrador sneezed again and hung his head wiltingly, obviously not as lively as the other Labradors of his age.

Zhang Zi'an said in a targeted manner: "Canine respiratory infections are very contagious, once they are sick, they must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to infect other dogs in the family, so it is also called 'kennel cough', which means that a dog is infected, and soon a litter of dogs will be infected." Not only that, but if you take a sick dog for a walk, you may also infect more dogs if you meet someone else's dog on the way. ”

"Okay, I know, let's send Xiaola to the pet clinic. Shishi was finally speechless, and when she saw Zhang Zi'an's resolute attitude, she said to Liu Sanlang.

"Okay. Liu Sanlang obeyed her words.

"Also, when your dog is well, don't dress him anymore, at most put on a raincoat when walking your dog on a snowy day, and don't let his fur get wet in the snow. If you don't know where to buy a dog-friendly raincoat, you can buy it at our store. There is also a need to keep the room as dry and ventilated as possible, as a humid environment is more likely to breed bacteria, which is not only effective for dogs, but also for people to avoid colds. ”

Zhang Zi'an gave them advice, after all, this Labrador was bought from his store, which can be regarded as after-sales service.

Liu Sanlang nodded frequently, keeping Zhang Zi'an's suggestion firmly in mind.

Shishi had already hugged Xiaola and got into the car first, and Zhao Qi left the airbox containing Lanlan to Zhang Zi'an, and also sat in the car, planning to rub the car back.

Liu Sanlang hadn't gotten into the car yet, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Store Manager Zhang, in fact, I still have something." ”

"What's the matter, don't talk about borrowing money!" Zhang Zi'an refused vigilantly.

"It's not borrowing money, it's my family's little pull...... Some are naughty. Liu Sanlang said helplessly, "I like to call when I have nothing to do, and my neighbors have complained to the property several times, and occasionally I will defecate in the open at home or in the corridor......

Zhang Zi'an frowned, "Didn't you train it not to bark and defecate in the open?" Didn't I tell you that raising a dog is different from raising a cat, and it must be trained?"

"yes...... But every time I was a little ruthless, Shishi she protected Xiaola, and said that I was a dog sadist, and it turned out to be ......like this" Liu Sanlang smiled bitterly, "Store Manager Zhang, can you help? Help it fix the bad problem, I will pay." ”

Zhang Zi'an pondered for a moment, "You cure its cold first, and then talk about anything else." ”
