Chapter 8: Tragic Abandonment
The next day, before the horn was blown, the head of the breeding class came to call me, saying that a female dog was about to give birth. Let me go over and help. Originally, I was still sleepy-eyed, but as soon as I heard the news, I immediately came to my senses, put on my clothes and came to the kennel.
The female dog produced was a two-year-old flat-backed collie "Kana" that had just been shipped from Germany last year, and it was the first time she had given birth. Squad Leader Sun is a volunteer soldier and a senior dog breeder. He took out the thermometer and measured the temperature of "Kana", "It's 36 degrees, it should be soon, less than, you go get a bottle of disinfectant." ”
I trotted all the way to the infirmary, knocked the military doctor up, took the disinfectant and ran back, at this time "Kana" had given birth to two puppies, and the squad leader Sun was holding small scissors to handle the umbilical cord of one of the puppies.
The newborn puppy is wrapped in fetal membranes, first of all, the fetal membranes must be cleaned, then the oral and nasal cavities must be cleaned so that the puppy can breathe normally, and then the umbilical cord is processed, cut and tied with a cotton rope, and a little disinfectant is applied to the cut position and it is basically over.
I helped Squad Leader Sun deal with the two newborn puppies, and "Kana" watched me vigilantly until she realized that I had no intention of harming her cubs, and then withdrew her vigilant gaze and gasped for breath.
A total of four "Kana" litters were produced, basically the same size, with black and yellow fur, and arched in the arms of "Kana" with her eyes closed to find nipples.
After waiting for more than an hour, no cubs were born, and we judged that the birth was over. I ran back to the office to get a scale and a ruler, measured and recorded the puppy's weight and length, and made a record.
Just as she was about to wash her hands and eat breakfast, "Kana" stood up and made another excretion motion, bending backwards, arching her back, obviously straining again.
The two stood outside the kennel and observed through the glass, "Kana" was very difficult to produce this time, her whole body kept trembling, and she hummed from time to time, and waited for more than half an hour, but she still failed to give birth smoothly. "Kana" licked the hand of squad leader Sun, her eyes full of gratitude and trust. This is the first time I've read human emotions through a dog's eyes. Later, it still didn't work, Sun squad leader put on rubber gloves on his left hand, stroked the neck of "Kana" with his right hand, and reached into the birth canal of "Kana" with his left hand. That's when I noticed that "Kana" bared her teeth, but fortunately she didn't have any overreactions.
"It's over" Sun squad leader said and slowly withdrew his hand, pinched out a puppy with fetal membranes with three fingers, skillfully ripped the fetal membranes, but found that the puppy had no reaction at all, Sun squad leader took a stethoscope and listened for a while, "It's good to die, save the needle." ”
"Needle, needle?" I asked, puzzled.
"Take a closer look at this dog," Squad Leader Sun said, handing over the puppy.
I stretched out my hand to take it, and found that the color of the dog's coat above the neck turned out to be white, which is a serious mutation phenomenon, such a dog must not be trained and served normally, and it is to be euthanized according to the management regulations.
I'm very disgusted with this euthanasia. If the person concerned does not want to live because of the pain and suffering, your injection is called euthanasia. If people want to live, what is the difference between you and murder if you give them injections?
Squad leader Sun took a picture of the dead dog with a camera. Then he carried the dead dog and shook it at the camera on the wall of the farrowing house, and handed the puppy to me with his backhand, "Small, take it out and bury it, bury it a little farther." ”
"Oh," I took the dead dog and walked out of the camp with a shovel.
I carried the dead dog out of the two miles, found a clean place and dug a small pit, I couldn't bear to put it directly into the dirt pit, found some leaves to pad, and then reached out to take the dead dog. As a result, this scared me, and the little thing was actually twitching!
I came back to my senses and picked it up, I found that it had been trying to vomit, I grabbed it and broke its mouth, and found a slimy mass in the throat area, I stretched out the index and middle fingers of my left hand and pulled out the filth in its throat with difficulty.
Watching the little thing's purple face slowly return to normal, I was relieved. But then came the sad question, and the purpose of taking pictures of it and showing it in front of the camera was to prove that it was dead. Besides, this little guy's image is indeed not very good, and he has a white head. I'm going to take it back, and I guess I'm going to have to give it to "Anle" right away.
Even though it was summer, the temperature difference between morning and evening was still very large, and when I saw the little thing shivering from the cold, I reached out and grabbed it and stuffed it into my arms.
I'm going to take it back, and it's going to die. If I don't send it back, someone will be expelled from the military if I am found to have stolen the military dog, and if I don't send it back, how will I deal with it, but I will die of worry.
Although the little thing was just born, it had claws, arching in my arms, and giving me goosebumps.
"Oh, I'm not your mother. The little thing seemed to have found something similar to its goal in my arms, and Howe didn't hesitate to take his mouth.
Damn, that's it, I made up my mind, and I took it in my arms and ran to the camp.
Although I ran in the direction of the camp, I did not return to the troops, but went around to the power grid separation wall on the east side of the troops, looked left and right to see that there was no one, broke a "Y" shaped branch from a small tree, supported the power grid on the wall, and climbed over the wall.
With my bare-shouldered puppy in my clothes, I ran quickly towards the nearest village. As soon as I entered the village, I asked everywhere who had a dog that had just given birth. The work paid off, and it didn't take long for me to find one, an old man and an old lady, and the family dog had just gotten out of the litter. I took the liberty of knocking on someone's door and said that I was here to work, and the family dog gave birth to a puppy, and the big dog died, and the puppy starved to death without milk.
Although I was very reluctant to deceive the old man in my heart, I still said that it was touching and tearful, and the old man was good-hearted. happily agreed, "Okay, I just don't know if it will let me or not." ”
"It's okay, I have a way" To be honest, I don't know the bottom of my heart, and my so-called method is only heard from the squad leaders of those breeding classes.
The old man led me to his kennel, and when I saw it, I was dumbfounded, what a pug. Forget it, if you have milk, you are a mother. But to be honest, this nurse is too small. I've been delaying for a long time, so I'll do it. I quickly took out the little dog wrapped in my clothes, reached out and grabbed a handful of the pug and its little pug excrement, and wiped it on the little guy in my arms without a head or a brain. The little guy is quite resistant.
Grass, save your life, resist a fart. If you don't have the smell on your body, who can let you feed. After that, I asked the old lady to call the big dog away, and put the puppy with a few other yellow-and-white pugs, and the little things had already opened their eyes, and there was no hostility when they looked at the guy who had come in to eat and drink.
The big dog is back and sniffing everywhere. Oh my God, the critical time has finally come, if you don't want to place an order, where will I go to find a nurse for you" God bless, such as bless" This time my prayer worked, the puppy crawled and arched and finally found the nipple and bit it, the bitch sniffed at it, closed her eyes and began to pretend to sleep. A big stone in my heart finally landed.
Before leaving, I glanced sideways at the private area of the little thing, and couldn't help but think of the phrase "a mother"!
After quickly thanking the old man and the old lady, he rushed back to the outer wall of the troops, turned back into the wall as he did, and ran back to the troops with a shovel. "Squad Leader Sun, I'm back. "I rushed to the impatient squad leader Sun who was waiting for him to take a vacation.
"Why is it so long?" Squad Leader Sun's face was not good-looking, and it was already past breakfast time at the moment.
"Didn't you tell me to bury myself far away, I ran out five or six miles. "I started lying.
"I'll let you bury it far away, and you don't have to run that far. Let's go eat, the cooking class is for us. "When squad leader Sun saw that I was so resolute in carrying out my order, he immediately turned his anger into joy.
The two went to the kitchen to wash their hands and began to eat.
"Less, what are you laughing at?" Seeing that I kept snickering, squad leader Sun couldn't help but ask.
"Who wrote those words?" I pointed to the white paper on the oil drum, on which there were four large letters: "No private use".
