Just as the body temperature of a human with the flu rises significantly, the same is true for horses with the flu, and even more so for acute influenza.

This condition in which the body temperature rises significantly and cannot be cooled down for a short period of time is called hyperthermia, which means that when the body temperature rises to the level of the new adjustment point, the period of high-level adjustment is called the high temperature persistence period, also known as the peak period, or the lingering period.

High fever is the first symptom after the flu, and it is also the most characteristic symptom.

Generally speaking, the hyperthermia of horses is manifested by the fact that the horse's body temperature reaches more than 39.5 degrees Celsius, and it presents the residual fever type, that is, the body temperature fluctuates by less than 1 degree within 24 hours.

For this reason, after the temperature of the metal slug rises to the sick, they have to send someone to take its temperature every hour to monitor its body temperature changes, and Fu Jun is doing this now, checking whether the body temperature of the metal slug is declining, which indicates that its acute flu is improving.

To measure the temperature of horses, they are all done for anal testing, so use a veterinary thermometer to measure their rectal temperature.

Whereas, veterinary thermometers have glass thermometers and electronic thermometers, the former is a mercury thermometer, which is similar to a human thermometer, the only difference is that the veterinary mercury thermometer has a small protrusion at the end.

Its function is that it can be tied with a thin wire or string, and when measuring body temperature, the thin wire is left outside the animal's anus, preventing the thermometer from being sucked into the animal's anus and difficult to remove when measuring body temperature.

In the case of the latter, the body temperature is measured using an electronic temperature probe, and the measured temperature value is displayed directly by the numbers.

Because mercury is more accurate to ensure the accuracy of the data, Fu Jun has always used a mercury thermometer, he first threw the mercury column to the scale of 37 °C, then disinfected the thermometer with an alcohol cotton ball, and then applied a little petroleum jelly to the thermometer.

"Metal Slug, you have to bear with it!"

Nonsense, it can't bear it, doesn't Fu Jun take his temperature?

That's impossible!

Anyway, after finishing speaking, Fu Jun had already started the test.

The thermometer quickly disappeared for the most part, and only the clairway eye could see it.

For a time, the chrysanthemums were remnant, the ground was full of wounds, the horse's smile had turned yellow, and the flowers fell off the horse's intestines......

"Hey! Isn't it just to take your temperature? Is there such a life without love? You know, if we're doing it for your own good, you should just hold a bunch of feces and can't pull it out, right? Waiting for the thermometer to sense the body temperature, Fu Jun saw that the temperature of the alloy slug was measured, and he looked in a bad mood and quipped.

"Didn't you test it? Can you experience my pain? If you have the ability, you also take a thermometer and try it on yourself? The Metal Slug immediately hissed and returned to Fu Jundao.

As soon as he said this, Fu Jun himself shut up, thinking of the way he had just taken the thermometer to measure the body temperature of the alloy warhead, Fu Jun felt bad.

"Seeing that your spirit is so good and your thinking ability is so fast, I am relieved, it seems that your problem is not big." Fu Jun changed the topic with a smile, not wanting to discuss with the Metal Slug about how to use the thermometer correctly.

"Cut! If you don't dare to do it, you don't dare to do it, and if you find any reason, you just say that you are afraid! ”

“……”

The metal slug wanted to roll his eyes at Fu Jun, but, because of the acute flu, it was full of puffy eye conjunctiva, and with the tears flowing from time to time in its eye sockets, it did look extremely terrifying, and Fu Jun was also afraid to speak out of his words, so he could only pretend not to hear it.

Glancing at the time on the watch, 5 minutes have passed, and it is time to pull out the thermometer and measure the horse's temperature normally, in fact, it will be about the same after 3 minutes, because to start treatment, Fu Jun waited for more time in order to have more accurate temperature data.

Fu Jun slowly pulled out the thermometer with pieces of yellow clumpy feces under the sad gaze of the metal slug.

Looking at the dung, Fu Jun frowned, not that he hated dung, when he was in school, he had drafted horse care, and naturally he also cleaned up horse manure, so he was not surprised by this.

The reason that really made Fu Jun frown was because of the clumping and hardness of the alloy slug feces.

Taking out the disposable dry paper towel he carried, Fu Jun carefully wiped the feces of the alloy slug on the thermometer with an expressionless face.

For feces, Fu Jun is expressionless except for his face, and the rest of his expression can only be disgust, he is not a shell, he is ecstatic when he sees stool!

After wiping it clean, Fu Jun looked at the scale on the mercury column - 40.2 °C.

A horse's body temperature refers to the thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, and central nervous system in its body, and because horses are homeothermic animals, their body temperature is relatively stable.

In general, horses have a higher normal body temperature than humans, with an anal test of about 38°C.

The body temperature of the Metal Slug is not too high, but it is not low either, indicating that its acute flu is still under control.

Fu Jun took out the alcohol cotton ball, carefully disinfected the thermometer, put it back in the medical toolbox, and at the same time took out the record sheet to record the current temperature of the alloy warhead.

Judging from today's inspection record sheet, the alloy warhead, which was originally hot to about 42 °C, is still very hot, but it is actually gradually cooling down.

This is normal, generally speaking, the tolerance of high fever is generally 1 to 2 days, and the length is only 4 to 5 days, rarely more than a week, and then slowly drops to the state of normal body temperature.

However, if the horse's body temperature tends to rise again after returning to normal, it is an indication that the horse has a secondary bacterial infection, which is troublesome.

Thinking of the question of the Metal Slug feces just now, although Fu Jun had the answer in his heart, he still walked to the pile of feces pulled down by the stables before the Metal Slug to inspect it to prove his judgment.

In order to understand the hardness of the dung, he found a big broom from the stable to clean the dung, and slapped the feces just pulled by the metal slug hard, as he expected, the feces were difficult to disperse.

It seems that although the body temperature of the metal slug is decreasing, this acute cold is still ferocious, and it cannot be cured by simply cooling the horses.

Normally, the normal color of the feces of healthy horses is yellow or green, and the difference in color is mainly related to the horse feed.

If the horse's feed is mainly hay, the manure is yellow manure; If the horse's feed is mainly grass, the manure is green manure.

The forage of the Wenhuai Lake Equestrian Club is all hay bought from the northwest at a high price and transported over long distances, so it is yellow, which proves that there is nothing wrong with the digestive system of the alloy slug, but his feces are obviously too hard, and it is very abnormal when it is broken into dry lumps.

For horses with normal body, their feces should be round and lumpy, with moderate humidity, neither hard nor soft, and some of them will break up after landing, and the water content of the feces should be about 75%.

Sick horses with acute cold and fever diseases like Metal Slug have high body temperature, low body water, and insufficient water intake, so their horse feces are dry and clumpy, and their feet are difficult to stomp off.

Therefore, based on these symptoms, even without Robert's previous medical protocol, Fu Jun would force Metal Slug to do something it didn't want to do now.

From outside the stable, Fu Jun came to the alloy slug with a large bucket of water, and at the same time took a cold sprayer that ordinary people often use to cool themselves down, of course, Fu Jun took a king-sized one.

"Come on! I don't care how uncomfortable your body feels right now, you have to give me this bucket of water right now. Otherwise, I'll have Ash spread the word to all the club's horses about your torture with a thermometer! Fu Jun deliberately threatened.
