Melgen had donated her own blood before, and she had also seen other people do so. However, she never knew how animals should donate blood and transfuse blood. She held the syringe nervously, afraid that she would mess it up.
Zhang Zian forced himself to calm down. He had never eaten pork before, but at least he had seen pigs run. He had seen sun Xiaomeng transfuse blood to cats and dogs in the pet clinic, so he had a general idea of the process. The problem was that he lacked a special medicine.
The beekeepers and Wrangler families that once lived in this Indian village were self-sufficient. Some things that ordinary City families did not have in stock might be found here.
Thinking of this, he ran to the kitchen cabinet and rummaged through it.
“Kaka! Transfusing dog’s blood to a cat, this sounds like a F * cking dog’s blood!” Richard had already jumped out of his hood and was combing his feathers.””The most melodramatic thing is that this isn’t made up!”
Melgen heard it toot, but she didn’t understand Chinese. She didn’t know what the parrot was saying. If she could understand, she would feel the same way.
“If the first cat that ate the crab was still alive, I would definitely give it an honor.” Fina sighed.
“It’s not just cats that can be transfused with dog blood. Now, scientists are also researching the possibility of transfusing pig blood to humans. ” Zhang Zian added.
Snowy Lionet nodded in realization.”Meow meow meow! It’s true that men are big pig trotters!”
Not only was dog blood not fatal to cats, but it could also prolong their lives. This was simply a piece of news that subverted common sense and three views.
Although cats could only receive dog blood once in their lives, it was enough to give her a further understanding of the wonderful relationship between living things. She even felt that her suffering was somewhat worth it.
Zhang Zian saw that she was too nervous, so he rummaged through the things he was looking for while asking her to light all the candles and oil lamps she could find to make the room brighter.
There was no electricity in the house, only oil lamps and candles. It was conceivable that the light was not good. When he was sewing just now, he had almost stuck his eyes to Vladimir’s wound. However, he needed to be more precise when drawing blood later, so he had to increase the brightness of the light.
Melgen responded and gathered all the candles and oil lamps from the rooms upstairs and downstairs into the living room, decorating the place like a candlelight church.
Not only that, but she also brought along all the mirrors and other shiny objects that could be moved to enhance the reflection.
Jeff, how did you know that cats can receive dog blood?” She asked curiously as she set up the place. After all, this kind of knowledge was too rare.
Zhang Zian’s hands didn’t stop moving. He kept searching through the bottles and jars in the kitchen, explaining casually to satisfy the curiosity of her and the Elfins.
Once, sun Xiaomeng received a customer who brought a cat to the clinic for emergency treatment. The cat had accidentally eaten a sausage for a poisoned dog, which had caused severe hemolysis and internal bleeding, and was in urgent need of blood transfusion.
As Zhang Zian and she both knew, pet hospitals in China basically didn’t have a standing cat blood bank. Blood transfusions could only be done temporarily, not to mention her small pet Clinic, which couldn’t have cat blood.
However, after testing, the cat’s blood type was the rare Type B blood. Type B blood contained very strong type A antibodies, so type A blood could not be transfused.
Unfortunately, the few healthy cats in the clinic who met the requirements for blood transfusion were all type A. They were all abandoned by their owners in the clinic.
At that time, sun Xiaomeng also asked the amazing fate pet shop for help, but Zhang Zian was abroad at that time, and the Abyssinian cats had not come to the shop yet. The cats in the shop were all kittens about three months old, which did not meet the conditions for blood donation, so there was no other way.
So, she proposed to the cat owner to use dog blood to Save the Cat. However, the cat owner was furious and questioned her medical qualifications. No matter how she explained, the other party would not listen. After scolding her, he took the cat and went to a Pet Hospital. However, there were no large pet hospitals nearby, and there was no news on whether the cat was saved in the end.
Sun Xiaomeng complained about this in her circle, and Zhang Zian saw it and remembered it in his heart.
Most mediocre veterinarians didn’t know this unpopular knowledge. A few more ambitious veterinarians might know, but they might not dare to put it into practice, because the disputes in the pet medical industry were no less than that in the human medical industry. If a cat died after receiving a cat blood transfusion, it was understandable. After all, it was a normal treatment. But if a dog blood transfusion couldn’t save the patient, it would be unreasonable, and they might have to pay a lot of money … First, the doctor needed to be knowledgeable, and second, the customer needed to actively cooperate with the doctor’s work. Neither of these two conditions could be missing.
Melgen sighed and said enviously,”Dr. Sun must be an excellent veterinarian …”
“Kaka! You’re right!” Richard echoed.
This was not an exaggeration at all. The population density and pet density in China were far higher than that of Western countries, so the number of surgeries performed by Chinese doctors and veterinarians each year was enough for Western doctors to do for a lifetime. Western doctors could easily earn a high salary by performing one operation a week, but it was common for Chinese doctors to die from overwork after three major operations in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The saying “practice makes perfect” made sense. In all routine operations that required surgery, the average level of Chinese doctors was basically better than Western doctors.
“I found it!”
Zhang Zian held up a bottle and saw the words on the bottle with the help of the flashlight. Although the small words were a little blurry, the big words “sodium acidic” were still very clear.
As the original owner often came back once every six months, in order to prevent moisture, the mouth of the bottle was sealed very tightly. The White powdered crystals inside looked no different from the new factory, at least not to the naked eye.
“What’s this for?” Melgen asked curiously.
“It’s a food additive. The owner of this house may often use fruits or wild fruits to brew drinks during the summer, or homemade cheese, but most importantly, sodium incorporeal is an essential anti-coagulosis agent for blood transfusions.” Zhang Zian explained.
Whether it was a large pet Hospital or a small pet Clinic, blood must be temporarily drawn when transfusing to cats. However, if the blood just drawn was directly transfused to cats, it may cause coagulation, so anti-coagulation drugs were needed. Sodium lemonade was the most commonly used and cheap anti-coagulation drug. The difference between food grade and pharmaceutical grade was very small.
He had observed the process of sun Xiaomeng preparing sodium acidic solution, drawing blood, and transfusing blood. In medicine, this was called the direct blood transfusion method. It was different from the frozen blood taken from the blood bank. Normally, three people were required to cooperate, one to draw blood, one to pass the blood, and one to transfuse the blood. The blood must be injected as soon as it was drawn. Even if the process of passing the blood was omitted, it would require at least two people. Therefore, he needed melgen’s help, and he could not do it alone.
