Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 350: A new method of taming bipeds?
Chen Ying couldn't contain her excitement, so she walked in quickly and hugged the tiger cub.

"I'm sorry I'm late, but I brought you a present."

After saying that, Chen Ying asked the keeper to help dismantle the things he had brought and assemble them in front of the tiger cub.

This is a specially made small wheelchair, custom made for animals whose hind limbs cannot walk.

Chen Ying spent a lot of money to customize this one for the tiger cub. It was made of the best and lightest materials, and the height, width and length can be adjusted according to the growth of the tiger cub.

After the two helped the tiger cub to place its hind legs on the wheelchair, the tiger cub was finally able to stand steadily on all fours like a normal tiger cub.

However, because it had not received much training in its forelimbs, its strength was still a little lacking. In addition, it was not used to this position, so it did not dare to take a step for a long time.

Chen Ying didn't urge it, but just looked at it gently.

Next to it was the biped that had been taking care of it and feeding it delicious food over the past few days, and it was also looking at it with shining eyes.

The little tiger moved his lips, mustered up the courage and took the first tentative step.

It was trembling and shaking, but it was indeed the first step.

The left front paw that took the first step landed on the ground. It took two deep breaths, shifted its center of gravity, and took the second step.

The third step, the fourth step... until it rushed into Chen Ying's arms.

"Ooooooooo, oooooooo."

An unconscious, soft cry with no specific meaning, like a child screaming in excitement.

The breeder nearby wiped away his tears, put away his phone, and ran out quickly, bringing bowls of milk and a big rabbit leg.

"Baby, you are amazing. I have never seen a better little tiger brain than you. Eat and eat well. Then we can run freely in the future."

Chen Ying raised her head and glanced at the slightly plump breeder. She didn't expect that a guy in his thirties could be so sentimental.

This is also good, at least during the period of isolation and quarantine, the little tiger will be well taken care of.

After playing with the tiger cub for a while, Chen Ying yawned while the cub wasn't paying attention.

In order to get here in time, he hadn't had much rest for almost two days. He just slept for a while on the plane. Now he was relaxed and feeling sleepy.

While playing, the little tiger looked back at Chen Ying, trotted over, and rubbed his chin with his head.

"Do you want to sleep? Go to bed. Remember to come and play with me."

Chen Ying laughed and rubbed its head hard.

I have come into contact with so many animals, many of which are human-like and spiritual, but when it comes to intelligence, this disabled tiger cub is definitely at the top.

The breeder also noticed Chen Ying's sleepiness and quickly apologized, telling him to go and rest quickly. He said that everything would be fine with him here.

Chen Ying didn't act pretentiously. After saying goodbye to Youhu, she went out and went to another special patient area.

The people living here are all old, weak, sick and disabled.

The injured sub-adult tiger was moved here directly after coming out of the special care unit.

When Chen Ying went there, she saw its keeper squatting at the railing door, looking at it with a worried look on his face.

It's been less than half a month, and the sub-adult tiger has become so thin that even the bones can be seen.

It had no interest in the beef given by the breeder.

"Doctor Chen, when did you come back?"

When the breeder saw Chen Ying, he quickly stood up.

I guess it was because I squatted for too long. When I stood up, I swayed a bit and had to hold on to the railing to avoid falling.

"What's going on? Why is it so thin?"

It is impossible for the breeding center to treat a tiger harshly, and they have the money to feed the tigers. The problem can only lie with the tigers themselves.

"After it came out of the ICU and was able to eat on its own, it stopped eating much and had to be force-fed."

But neither injections nor force-feeding were a solution, as the tiger had clearly lost the will to live.

Chen Ying seldom comes into contact with tigers, but he still understands the habits of wild animals. Hu Zi is like this because he cannot accept that he has become disabled.

In the wild, disability means that survival is difficult and no mother tiger will give birth to cubs with it. For animals, survival and reproduction are their obsessions engraved in their bones.

Chen Ying did not go in.

This tiger is different from the cubs. Simple companionship is of no use to it, otherwise the keeper would have stayed with it for so long without even a glance from it.

Its current state can be described in human terms as "sad".

Although both are blind, Uncle Tiger became blind after seeing all the prosperity, and his life as a tiger is about to end just as it has begun.

Chen Ying rubbed his forehead with a headache, "I'll go back and think of a solution first, you keep an eye on it."

The keeper nodded, squatted down again, and started reading to it like a monologue.

The tiger buried its head in its arms.

Chen Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, said nothing, turned around and left.

When he returned to the dormitory that was temporarily assigned to him, the room was still the same one, and all his toiletries were already there.

Chen Ying hung up a do not disturb sign, closed the door, washed up, and buried herself in the quilt.

I slept for 16 or 17 hours, and when I woke up it was already the next morning. After waking up, my mind was much clearer.

He came up with an idea for the follow-up treatment of sub-adult tigers, but whether it would work or not depended on whether the policy allowed it.

After making a few phone calls, my ideas became clearer and clearer.

After taking out his computer and spending half an hour typing out an application and sending it to the mailbox of the Tiger and Leopard Breeding Center Management Office, Chen Ying carried his medical box and went to see the sub-adult tigers.

It’s still the same breeder from yesterday.

Most of the food for Hu Zi was still left.

According to the quantitative data, tigers need to be fed about 20 kilograms of meat a day. Most tigers eat one meal a day, and occasionally add other snacks, and the total amount does not exceed two kilograms.

The injured tiger's 20-jin quota was divided into 10 jin each for feeding in the morning and afternoon. But even if the amount of feeding was reduced each time, it could still have 5 or 6 jin left out of the 10 jin of meat.

The little I ate was not enough to sustain me even to sit still.

Chen Ying looked at it for a while, then turned around and went to find Team Leader Qi.

"What did you say? Put the young tiger in the same cage with the sub-adult tiger?"

Although the sub-adult tiger looked weak, it was not something the young tiger could resist.

Team leader Qi refused without even thinking about it.

"Even if the tiger cub is disabled, it is still the treasure of our center and we cannot let it take any risks."

"Team Leader Qi, you have to believe that I feel sorry for the little tiger just as much as you do. Look, I traveled thousands of miles to order so many things for it. I can't just let it take a look and forget about it."

Team leader Qi didn't quite know how to respond.

"My plan is not to put them in the same cage right away. There is an empty cage next to the sub-adult tiger, and the iron door between the two cages can be opened and closed. They are not familiar with it yet, so close it first. No matter what, neither of them can go to the other side."

Team Leader Qi must be more familiar with the situation in the animal house than Chen Ying.

Hearing what he said, it seems that it is not impossible.

"But the tiger cubs' quarantine has not been completed yet, so we can't do that now."

"Of course not now. I know the rules. The tiger cub's quarantine will be completed in eight days. During these eight days, we need to give the sub-adult tiger another course of treatment. In addition, we need to train the tiger cub to use the wheelchair and trainer skillfully."

The tiger cubs are easy to deal with. Team leader Qi is in charge of the cub park and he can arrange it directly.

On the contrary, there are more problems with sub-adult tigers.

After all, there are more tigers than people (number of keepers and veterinarians) in the breeding center. Each old, weak, sick or disabled tiger is assigned a dedicated keeper. When it is their turn to be off, other keepers will help take care of the tiger for a day.

At the tiger park, there are less than ten people working to take care of dozens of tigers, and with the logistical support, there are only fifteen people. They have to deal with more and more complicated tasks, and there is no way they can spare any manpower to help.

Whenever we are too busy, we will offer some internship places to our partner schools, or simply ask volunteers to help.

After Chen Ying learned about the situation at Tiger Park from Team Leader Qi, she thought about it and went directly to find the person in charge.

The leader in charge was quite easy to talk to. After listening to Chen Ying's plan, he called Team Leader Qi and Team Leader Jin, who was in charge of the old, weak, sick and disabled tigers in the zoo, and asked the three of them to decide whether this matter was feasible.

The three of them didn't talk for too long, mainly because Chen Ying persuaded Team Leader Jin from the zoo.

Besides, even if he insisted on not agreeing, he couldn't just watch the injured tiger kill itself.

It’s better to try it out, just in case it works.

With the support of the two team leaders, the following tasks will be much easier.

Chen Ying plays with the tiger cubs for half an hour every morning and afternoon. In the remaining time, she takes other veterinarians to treat the sick tigers and cubs respectively.

A sick tiger only needs moxibustion and applying medicine, but the young tiger is different. It needs acupuncture and fumigation every three days, and each time lasts up to forty-five minutes. For a young tiger of this age, every treatment is torture.

During the third treatment, Chen Ying placed the treatment bed in the room opposite the animal house.

This was originally the keepers' lounge, but it was vacated and turned into a tiger cub treatment room.

When the sub-adult tiger saw the tiger cub for the first time, its dead fish-like eyes couldn't help but shrink.

What's this tiger cub doing?

Its eyes were fixed on the wheelchair where the tiger cub was fixed on its hind legs, and its expression was a little dull.

Youhu walked into the treatment room by himself, accompanied by Chen Ying.

When it was being fumigated with needles, it couldn't help but hum softly, and it was its keeper who comforted it with a snack bar that Chen Ying made specially for it.

Then, the sound coming from the treatment room opposite became: rub rub... oooooo, rub, rub rub, oooooo...

The mixture of groaning and chewing was heard by the sub-adult tiger, which finally made it curious and lay down beside the iron gate as if it didn't care.

The intact eye could just see part of the treatment bed opposite.

An iron frame was installed on the treatment bed, and the young tiger was tied to the iron frame. More than a dozen long, cold needles were inserted from the waist to the hips.

Several of the long needles were connected to thread, and the other end was connected to a square box on the table.

The tiger would tremble from time to time when it saw those long needles, and when the needles trembled, the weird-looking little tiger cub would make a wooooing sound.

Have the two-legged beasts invented some new way to torture tigers?

It has been unobedient recently. Will it also be tortured and made to cry?
The tiger is afraid and trembles with fear!
