Chapter 78 The Kind Girl
Chapter 78 The Kind Girl
DouDou has her eye on Li Shiwei.
Because she comes relatively infrequently, she is quite unfamiliar to DouDou, which is enough to arouse its curiosity.
With it leading the way, Little Munchkin, Silver Grandpa, and the Big Blue Cat all gathered around Li Shiwei. Silver Grandpa didn't hesitate to lie down, roll over, and expose his belly, curling up his limbs and begging to be petted. The Big Blue Cat and Little Munchkin circled around Li Shiwei a couple of times, sniffing her before eagerly coming over to fawn over her.
DouDou was undoubtedly the most cunning. It managed to determine that Li Shiwei wouldn't hurt anyone by observing her attitude towards Eunuch Yin and the other two, and then arrogantly leaped onto Li Shiwei's lap.
"this……"
Li Shiwei, who was just feeling down because of the strange atmosphere, was suddenly surrounded and entangled by four cats, and for a moment she could no longer care about anything else.
She wanted to ignore these guys and continue causing trouble for Chen Rang, but Dou Dou relentlessly rubbed against her chest. The thin summer police uniform couldn't withstand its fuss, and Li Shiwei strongly suspected this rascal cat was taking advantage of her. Seeing that her chest and the dark fabric of her skirt were covered in cat hair, she frowned deeply. Seeing that Dou Dou was going to push its luck, she grabbed one of its legs and flung it off.
"Awoo~"
DouDou was startled and fell to the ground before it could even struggle. It was the first time it had been treated this way, and it glared at Li Shiwei, about to explode; however, Li Shiwei glared at it, and the little guy immediately backed down and slunk over to Chen Rang.
Chen Rang was about to die laughing at this useless cat.
Fortunately, the atmosphere in the room eased thanks to the distraction. Li Shiwei looked at Ni Youlin, who was holding a ragdoll cat and gently stroking it, sighed inwardly, and offered a kind smile.
Ni Youlin had been secretly watching Li Shiwei all along, and was stunned when she saw Li Shiwei speak first. She then quickly stood up.
The little doll was startled and almost fell over. It quickly broke free from Ni Youlin's arms and jumped onto the table. It and Li Shiwei looked at Ni Youlin's habitual posture, as if she were listening to a lecture. The pitiful girl, like a frightened bird, made Li Shiwei sigh inwardly.
Based solely on Ni Youlin's response, Li Shiwei could tell that she was indeed living in fear at home and had been tamed to the point of being somewhat pitiful.
"Sit down and talk!"
She quickly stood up as well, even taking Ni Youlin's hand. After pulling Ni Youlin to sit down, Li Shiwei's dissatisfaction completely vanished. While reassuring Ni Youlin that the matter was over, she took the opportunity to give Chen Rang the middle finger.
"hey-hey……"
Chen Rang chuckled shamelessly, knowing he had passed this hurdle. He didn't know what would happen next, but he knew Li Shiwei had forgiven his rash behavior.
"Get lost! Just looking at you makes me angry!"
Intending to have a private conversation with Ni Youlin, Li Shiwei waved Chen Rang away.
Chen Rang naturally wouldn't linger and insist on eavesdropping.
He has a clear conscience, doesn't he?
There were still many things to do at the clinic. In the morning, a customer left his dog at the clinic because Chen Rang needed to treat the dog's severe tartar problem. The poor dog was almost skin and bones because it was in too much pain to eat.
According to Chen Rang's diagnosis, the Border Collie's severe tartar buildup was most likely due to a problem with the dog food its owner had bought for it.
While wet dog food is indeed easier to digest and less strenuous to eat, it often contains higher levels of certain ingredients to maintain moisture and prevent spoilage. Reputable dog food brands typically take steps to avoid this problem or employ methods to slow tartar buildup; although this dog owner did buy a reputable brand, there's no doubt he purchased a substandard or counterfeit product.
"Don't move! If you dare bite me, I'm telling you, you're dead today!"
Chen Rang took his tool tray to the dog cage and first threatened the Border Collie that was wagging its tail. He needed to judge whether the dog needed to be anesthetized or simply restrained by observing its behavior.
Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, but anesthesia is definitely the most worry-free. However, anesthetics should always be used with caution and sparingly, as they can easily lead to some troublesome unexpected situations.
Leaving aside the potential organ problems caused by anesthesia itself, even just considering the work involved, such as scaling and scraping tartar, increased saliva production is unavoidable. And in such situations, with the slightest carelessness, it's not impossible for saliva to block the trachea.
Of course, this is an extremely small probability. As a professional doctor, Chen Rang would naturally pay attention to all sorts of details and wouldn't allow such a foolish situation to occur.
But no matter what, it's best to avoid it if possible.
What about using restraint tools?
Physically securing the dog's mouth will naturally prevent it from biting people.
But dogs aren't people; they don't understand that. The sound of the scraping tools and the fear of their mouths being penetrated could cause a dog to struggle violently, forcing the treatment to be stopped midway.
At this point, it will require a lot of physical effort and time to soothe and control the dog, which will be a very tiring task.
And if this dog is particularly easily provoked and prone to anxiety and irritability, even if it can't use its mouth, its claws can still scratch people. This thing is quite strong; one swipe of its claws could easily leave several deep, long wounds.
Therefore, the specific method to use requires a professional veterinarian to make a professional assessment of the dog, understand its personality traits and possible triggers, and choose the best treatment method.
Then there's the issue of operational professionalism and efficiency, in which Chen Rang is quite confident.
"So... how should I deal with you?"
Chen Rang revealed a wicked smile.
He was in a very good mood, mainly because his biggest worry had been resolved. Since Li Shiwei hadn't misunderstood and the two women seemed to be getting along quite well, he could now completely relax and stop overthinking.
"Waaah~"
The poor Border Collie, seeing such a terrifying expression on a human's face for the first time, shuddered, tucked its tail between its legs, and let out a pitiful whimper.
Chen Rang opened the dog cage and took it out, and it didn't struggle at all. Even when Chen Rang pried open its big mouth to check its teeth, it only twisted its body slightly, and after being patted on the rear, it simply behaved itself like a statue.
Such an obedient dog was undoubtedly Chen Rang's favorite.
But just in case, he still put a muzzle on the Border Collie. This thing can hold the dog's mouth shut, ensuring it can't open its mouth to bite. Then, when he needed to scrape off the tartar, he only needed to open its mouth.
"Waaah~"
Unable to open its mouth, the Border Collie let out innocent whimpers. It shook its head, trying to shake off the muzzle, and when that didn't work, it tried to paw at it with its front paws; but soon Chen Rang put an Elizabethan collar on it, and after its failed attempt, it became completely obedient.
"Don't move! I'm warning you, I don't want to tie you up yet. If you behave, we'll get this over with quickly. If you don't, you'll only waste time and suffer in return."
Chen threatened the Border Collie, regardless of whether it understood him or not.
Anyway, it seems to understand human nature, so I'll give it another chance for now. If it dares to struggle during the treatment later, don't blame me for torturing it!
The poor Border Collie lay still obediently, its neck pinned down by Chen Rang's knee to prevent it from getting up.
Next, Chen Rang gently stroked the dog's head and the back of its neck to calm it down. Then, he turned on the electric drill used for grinding teeth, and a buzzing sound immediately filled the Border Collie's ears.
"Ugh!"
The Border Collie was startled, its eyes widened as if it wanted to run away.
This guy was quite strong, and Chen Rang almost couldn't subdue him. Fortunately, after enduring for a while, he got used to the sound of the drill, raised his head and looked at it curiously. Although he was still afraid, he finally stopped struggling so hard.
However, when Chen Rang used his hand to pry open one side of its lip, it still shook its head violently to avoid it, not wanting Chen Rang to touch any uncomfortable parts of its body.
Chen Rang had to stop it from struggling, and his hands were also occupied with other tasks, so he was suddenly overwhelmed.
With a helpless sigh, he decided to just tie the dog up. Although this might cause it some psychological trauma and stress, treating its illness was more important at the moment.
"How about we help you?"
Before anyone knew it, Li Shiwei and Ni Youlin had arrived at the dog and cat enclosure. Seeing Chen Rang in a flustered state, and although they didn't know he was planning to take drastic measures, they offered to help.
"Forget it, let's not get hurt!"
Chen Rang shook his head and rejected Li Shiwei's suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Li Shiwei glared at him, seemingly blaming him for daring to look down on her.
