1130.Countdown (5/5)
When he took Dabai to St. John's, Qin Shiou understood why many people in the town had moved from the island before, because the traffic here was so inconvenient!
In the past, when he went to St. John's, there was basically nothing to do, and when Winnie gave birth, he was in a hurry to die, but Winnie secretly told him that he was just acting, so he was not in a hurry when he was on the boat.
But this time Da Bai was sick, Qin Shiou was really anxious, so he felt that the island was so far away from the land, and he couldn't reach the city port after walking for so long.
Xiong Da was even more anxious, he squatted on the deck, his thick bear claws pulling the guardrail, and looked at the city of St. John's faintly emerging in the distance, his fat face was full of sorrow......
This is the first time it has gone to St. John's City, because it doesn't like to take a boat, but this time Da Bai was sick, when Qin Shiou took Da Bai on the boat, Xiong Da had to climb on the boat no matter what, and he had been with Da Bai in the early days of the boat.
After looking at St. John's City for a while, Xiong Da would run back to the cabin from the deck, find Xiong Da and let out a soft howl twice, as if to comfort him, and as if he was speeding up the progress of his boat, and then he would run to the deck again, looking at the land anxiously.
The friendship lasted for a long time, Qin Shiou was greatly moved in his heart, true friendship can transcend the distance between species, just like Xiong Da to Dabai.
After the ship docked at the port, Bigfoot Reyek was waiting on the dock in a van, and he was startled when he saw Xiong Da get off the boat, and said: "Oh God, no wonder you want me to drive a truck over, I thought you were transporting seafood, it turned out to be transporting mountain treasures." ”
Qin Shiou smiled bitterly: "Sorry buddy, I'm not in the mood to joke right now." One of my kids is sick and I have to take him to the vet hospital. ”
Rejek is very reliable. He was the driver himself, and he saw the route in advance. When Qin Shiou and Winnie got into the car with the big white bear, they immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, except for a few red lights on the road, the whole journey was smooth, and they went straight to the 'Celtic Animal Hospital'.
Founded in 1952, Celtic Animal Hospital is the oldest and most authoritative veterinary hospital in St. John's, and is the first professional canine and feline hospital in Newfoundland.
This animal hospital has a construction area of more than 5,000 square meters, with expert clinics and general clinics, physical examination and immunization rooms, operating rooms, inpatient foster care departments, laboratory departments, injection rooms, pharmacies, pet supplies supermarkets, pet grooming departments and other departments.
Hospitals compared to humans. The work process of animal hospitals in Canada is more reasonable, and the veterinarians have a lot of workload, and most of the sick animals sent to the hospital can be treated on the same day, because these animal hospitals are private hospitals, and the competition pressure is high, and doctors and nurses have to get more money and work more.
So, in the St. John's area, many veterinary doctors earn more than human doctors. This has also led to the prosperity of the veterinary industry, and some young people who have a good impression of small animals will give priority to the veterinary medicine industry when they enter college.
Reyeke helped hang up an expert number, and Qin Shiou and the others arrived at the hospital for a while. It was their turn to come into the consultation room.
Seeing Winnie come in with a North American possum, the middle-aged doctor laughed and said, "It's relatively rare to raise this kind of little guy as a pet. What happened to it? ”
"My child suddenly vomited some foam and undigested food, and at the same time it was very weak." said. Winnie placed Dabai on the doctor's desk, and Dabai looked around curiously to get up. She hurriedly stroked it, and Da Bai rubbed her hand with her head as if to comfort her, and then obediently lay down again.
Seeing this scene, the well-informed middle-aged doctor was also taken aback and said, "Oh, don't worry, let me take a look." And I have to compliment you, your child is so well-behaved, it's not like a possum, it's smart like a Labrador. ”
"We also have two adorable Labradoodles." Winnie laughed.
"Tiger and leopard, little stars in the pet world, am I right?" The middle-aged doctor said, "Mr. Qin, Miss Winnie." ”
Qin Shiou and Winnie nodded, it is not surprising that the veterinarian knows them, the tiger and the leopard are well-deserved stars in their industry, and the two of them can be regarded as following Lalawang to become famous in the pet industry.
The middle-aged doctor looked at the white pupils, forced it to open its mouth and look at its mouth, and listened to it again with a stethoscope.
Da Bai obviously didn't like this kind of encounter, and when the doctor put away the stethoscope, it immediately turned over dexterously, quickly jumped off the table and hid behind Qin Shiou.
The middle-aged doctor smiled, "I have to express my doubts, Miss Winnie, looking at your pet's current movements, it is not weak at all. ”
Winnie said anxiously, "No, doctor, it was in a bad state before, and my husband fed it some warm water to get better than it is now." ”
The doctor comforted her not to worry, saying that it was just a joke, and then made a list and asked the two to go to Dabai for a detailed examination, and then come to him after getting the results.
Qin Shiou's impression of veterinarians is that of the veterinary station in his hometown, where there are only some terrifying needles and tubes and all kinds of veterinary drugs.
This time he came to the Celtic Animal Hospital, he was an eye-opener, the nurse asked him if he wanted to do a detailed examination of the whole body, Qin Shiou said yes, and then the nurse gave him a payment slip, 1,400 Canadian dollars!
In Canada, where almost all people are included in medical insurance, the examination fee of 1,400 yuan is not low, but Qin Shiou didn't care, swiped the card to pay, and then gave Dabai an examination.
No wonder it costs so much money, this examination process is very complicated, and the machines used include endoscopes, automatic biochemical instruments, X-ray fluoroscopy systems, animal electrocardiographs, dental comprehensive treatment machines, etc., and even Dopple color ultrasound instruments and digital X-ray imaging systems are used, which Qin Shiou has never seen in human hospitals.
The results of the examination were sent to the doctor by the nurse, and after working for most of the day, Qin Shiou and Winnie returned to the consultation room with the dying Dabai.
Winnie hugged Dabai in distress, Qin Shiou regretted bringing it to this hospital a little, Niang Xipi's Don't Dabai was tossed and died here, look at it now, the North American opossum is not lightly tossed.
Dabai couldn't be tossed in vain, so after entering the consultation room, Qin Shiou asked anxiously: "Doctor, what's the matter with my child?" ”
The doctor didn't answer directly, he put down a stack of test sheets and said, "Do you remember what I said when we first met - it's rare to keep North American possums as pets these days?" ”
Winnie and Qin Shiou nodded, and the doctor said: "The reason is that North American opossums are very short-lived animals, and in the wild, their lifespan is two years, and comfortable home breeding is at most three to four years. ”
"According to the laboratory data, there is nothing wrong with this possum, but it is older. Probably, its life has entered the countdown ......" (to be continued......
