Chapter 52 Hints
Chen Rang rubbed his hands on the blue and white cat's head.
It feels pretty good.
He noticed that the cat's fur was surprisingly soft and smooth. It felt like hair that had just been washed with shampoo—soft, fluffy, and light, without any of the roughness or stiffness of a typical cat's fur.
"I gave it a bath last night!"
Zhou Meijuan proudly boasted, "Ever since it started acting up, I haven't given it a bath! It finally became much more well-behaved yesterday, so I quickly took this opportunity to clean its body to prevent it from getting bacteria during the surgery."
"Thank you so much."
Chen Rang expressed his gratitude with a speechless expression.
He really wanted to tell Zhou Meijuan that what was going to happen next was just a very simple minor surgical procedure. In a human body, it could only be classified as cosmetic surgery, something that regular doctors wouldn't be willing to do.
Throughout the entire treatment process, the most troublesome aspect has never been the difficulty of the surgery, but rather the postoperative care and subsequent recovery.
To ensure this blue and white cat recovers fully after surgery, without eyelid damage, drooping eye bags, or eversion, it depends not only on the quality of the surgery but also on patient care in the days to come and careful attention to detail, such as preventing it from touching the wound.
In the medical aesthetics industry, the outcome of a surgery often does not depend on the moment of the surgery; the key is whether the patient follows the doctor's instructions carefully and completely.
"But it's just a cat! How can I make it understand that it absolutely must not touch its wound?"
Zhou Meijuan was somewhat worried.
"Just put an Elizabethan collar on it! The important thing is that you absolutely cannot take the collar off before the stitches are removed. Things like bathing it should also be done only after it has fully recovered; of course, it's best not to bathe it for at least six months."
Chen responded with a smile.
He gestured for Zhou Meijuan to wait outside, and then took the blue and white cat to the operating room at the back.
About half an hour later, he came out once. Zhou Meijuan, who was sitting outside waiting anxiously, had just stood up to ask him something when he silently took a box back inside, and the corridor door closed again.
Then, almost another hour passed.
Just as Zhou Meijuan was frequently searching online, asking about animal surgery times and other related questions, the door opened again. This time, in addition to Chen Rang, came out a cat that he had pushed out in a small cart, lying motionless on its side inside.
"Baby!"
Upon seeing her beloved pet, Zhou Meijuan quickly stood up. Looking closely, she saw the blue and white cat, its tongue lolling out, motionless; its eyes were wide open, but the black sutures on its eyelids looked quite ferocious.
Fortunately, the cat had no wounds or bleeding on its face, otherwise she would have been scared to death here.
She never expected that Chen Rang would perform the surgery in such a simple and brutal way.
Chen Rang gave her a brief explanation of the surgical procedure and its necessity, and stated that the surgery was actually very successful; once the wound healed, the entropion problem would be completely resolved.
"Once the anesthesia wears off, it will be able to stand up. However, it will need the utmost care for the next week. You can take it home and apply the medication daily to observe it; or you can leave it with me, but that will be for a fee."
"Then I'll leave it with you!"
Zhou Meijuan chose the safest option; at this point, she wasn't worried about the cost.
Chen Rang naturally wouldn't refuse.
As a veterinarian, besides simply treating pets, related care services are also a major source of income. Just like hospitalization and nursing fees, these fees may seem small, but the cost is almost negligible.
Of course, on the other hand, having received the money, Chen Rang would naturally guarantee to give the blue and white cat the best care.
He will do his best to handle any unexpected situations that may occur after the surgery, any imperfections in the surgical results, and any medication issues, ultimately giving Ms. Zhou a perfect, healthy British Shorthair cat.
Zhou Meijuan waited patiently at the clinic until her baby's anesthesia wore off.
She only left after seeing it stagger to its feet, looking at her through the cat house with an innocent and aggrieved expression.
She came so early today because she actually has to go to work.
As an ordinary saleswoman in a shopping mall, her job is actually quite hard. And her income isn't actually that high, so her willingness to spend so much money on a cat is quite remarkable.
Compared to a certain middle-aged woman who has been out of the public eye ever since, she is undoubtedly the epitome of the perfect customer.
Chen Rang performed a post-operative check-up on the blue and white cat and made sure the Elizabethan collar around its neck was secure before he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
To be honest, the surgery wasn't difficult, it just strained my eyes.
Because the incision site is so close to vulnerable and vital areas, this type of surgery requires extreme care throughout, with steady hands and precise eyes, allowing no room for error. Even the postoperative suturing is handled with the same utmost care; while in other surgeries a little rough around the edges, this cannot be taken lightly.
Issues like uneven eyes or inconsistent dark circles are closely related to the doctor's skill.
In conclusion, although it is just the veterinary industry, it is not easy to become an expert in it.
"So, you only performed one surgery this morning; then you spent the rest of the time relaxing, even playing video games?"
Li Shiwei stared at Chen Rang with a hint of jealousy.
At the same age, why can this guy live such a carefree and leisurely life, and even have so much free time that makes her envious? We're both working, so why do police officers have to work so hard every day?
That's not fair!
He was even secretly playing games?
Li Shiwei thought angrily, and seeing the car in front moving at a snail's pace, she couldn't help but honk the horn hard.
Who are you?!
How can someone so young not think about working hard to earn money, find a girlfriend, get married, and have children, but instead spend all their time and energy playing games?
"I don't even have a girlfriend yet, why am I in such a hurry?"
Chen Rang chuckled.
Making money, getting married, having kids—those are all too far off. But a car is definitely something I need to buy. Otherwise, like today, having Li Shiwei ask a colleague to borrow a car again just doesn't sit right with me.
As for playing games...
Didn't I just get the charger and game controller?
You have to try out something you bought to see if it works, right? Although trying it for a whole morning is a bit much, it's understandable because the cat was lying on his lap and he couldn't stand up. It has nothing to do with whether the game is fun or not!
"Excusable my foot! If I'd known you were so free this morning, I should have called you out first thing in the morning!"
Li Shiwei responded angrily.
"Pfft!"
Officer Yang, sitting in the back seat, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This was the first time he'd ever heard such an outrageous excuse, even bringing up a cat. A cat can pin a person down in a chair, right? What kind of cat is this, with charm weighing two tons?
And... Li Shiwei's attitude towards this guy is also quite interesting.
Officer Yang clearly understood Li Shiwei's implication.
It seems this girl not only has romantic feelings for him, but she's also set her sights on this young veterinarian. But besides his decent looks, what is it about this boy that attracts her?
He became somewhat curious.
It's not that I discriminate against the veterinary profession, but... cough!
Realizing his identity as a police officer, Officer Yang coughed and stopped thinking about it.
Following Chen Rang's directions, the car soon arrived at the entrance of a farm near the Sanqian Canal in the suburbs of Sarawak.
Behind the farm is a large grove of trees, and in front are two small fishponds and a cement path leading down to a ditch. Anglers can choose to fish in the ponds or go wild, making it more interesting than a typical farm.
In the courtyard of the farm, Chen Rang spotted his target as soon as he got out of the car.
It was a Labrador Retriever that looked to be just over a year old, squatting outside its doghouse in the corner. Its creamy-white fur with a hint of yellow, its droopy ears, and its slightly melancholic, dark, grape-like eyes made it look incredibly cute.
At least Li Shiwei fell in love with it the moment she saw it.
Wow! This dog is really nice!
The girl wasn't afraid of being bitten by the dog; she boldly went up to pet it.
And this Labrador did seem to be trained; even when it saw a stranger, it did not show any aggressive behavior, but just obediently squatted there and let Li Shiwei pull its head hard.
Even when Li Shiwei lifted it up by its front paws, it didn't struggle at all.
"It's definitely a good dog!"
Chen Rang nodded in agreement.
