Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 352 Buy Small, Get Big
It is not uncommon to find ticks on animals, especially in rural areas. Not only animals, but humans may also carry them.

Ticks carry viruses that can cause serious infections.

Chen Ying’s discovery made the zoo staff extremely confused.

All the staff immediately got busy checking the animals to make sure none of them were carrying these deadly little creatures.

Chen Ying works in the mountains and forests all year round, so it is relatively easy for him to deal with these things that are difficult for ordinary people.

Apply medical alcohol, then use pointed tweezers to clamp the tick's head at the level of the skin and slowly pull it out.

The process cannot be too fast and the force cannot be too great, otherwise the head will break and get stuck in the flesh.

After the tick is completely removed, apply disinfectant.

"Observe carefully for the next two weeks. If something seems wrong, see a doctor immediately."

The medical team has two assistant veterinarians who are responsible for daily monitoring of the cub area and have no problem dealing with these illnesses.

The earlier the tick is discovered and treated, the earlier the recovery.

If it is discovered too late, when symptoms of infection appear, it will be difficult to treat, especially because some viruses can cause respiratory failure in the parasite, which can be fatal.

But now medicine is making progress, and humans and animals can basically recover from tick bites as long as they are treated in time.

To be on the safe side, the zoo plans to put the animals in cages first, disinfect and deworm the outdoors, and then let them out to play after a few days.

Logically speaking, the weather in Northeast China is still relatively cold in April, which is not the peak season for ticks. The little white tiger was infected because of bad luck.

The animals in the zoo have not yet been found to be bitten by a second tick, but it has given everyone a reminder and a notice to pay attention to tick bites has been issued in the care reminders.

The young tiger was very sad. He had just met his friends, but they parted ways in less than half an hour.

It followed Chen Ying slowly with its head down, its small body showing great sadness.

Chen Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After thinking about it, she took it back to see Da Hu.

When she reached the door, a message popped up on Chen Ying's phone. It was from the Tiger and Leopard Park's work group.

All the newborn tiger cubs this year have been given names, and everyone has not forgotten this disabled tiger cub. The voting results are out, and the cub's name is "Dongsheng", which means the rising sun. It is hoped that it can be like the morning sun and work hard to release its own light.

"Dongsheng, this name is good." Chen Ying put away her phone, squatted down and looked into Dongsheng's eyes. "There is a small yard outside the big tiger enclosure next door. Do you want to go play with it?"

Dongsheng tilted his head, thought about it, and agreed.

The sub-adult tiger lay on the platform with its limbs hanging down and its tail drooping listlessly.

Seeing the tiger cubs Dongsheng and Chen Ying enter its animal house, it moved slightly, raised its head and growled.

Dongsheng stopped, looked up and called out.

The relatively immature voice sounded full of energy, making the sub-adult tiger feel offended.

Dahu: Don’t you see I’m still emo? Why are you so lively?

Dongsheng saw that the tiger didn't move, so he ran over, bit its front paw, and pulled it down.

"Ho, woo! Let's go and play!"

Da Hu wanted to bare his teeth at it, but before he could move, Chen Ying held down his head.

What is this for? It's not a big deal if a tiger is blind in one eye. Do you really think a blind tiger is no better than a cat?

The anger that Da Hu had suppressed for a long time suddenly surged up, and he turned over and bit Chen Ying's hand.

Chen Ying was prepared and stepped back in time to avoid it.

Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, then he became furious and pounced directly at the tiger, biting the tiger's forelimbs fiercely with his milk teeth.

Chen Ying's expression suddenly changed and she called for help towards the camera.

The keeper was cleaning next door. When he saw this, he rushed over and tried to separate the two tigers.

Chen Ying took a closer look but stopped the breeder.

"They didn't bite hard, let's wait and see."

The two of them stepped back a little and saw Dahu holding Dongsheng and biting him, and Dongsheng bit back without showing any weakness.

Sometimes they would cry out in pain after being bitten, but their attitude was more towards playfulness than fighting.

After about ten minutes of fighting, both tigers were tired.

Dahu let go of Dongsheng, stood up and walked to the edge of the pool, drank a lot of wine, then jumped onto the wooden bed on the other side and lay down, wagging his tail.

This time, it did not deliberately cover its blind eye.

Dongsheng stood there and gasped for a few times, then ran to drink some water, then followed and tried to climb onto the wooden bed, but he couldn't bring the wheelchair up with him.

It hummed anxiously and let out several continuous low growls.

The big tiger seemed to have reached a point where he had no more power. He bit the skin on the back of the car's neck and pulled hard. Finally, he pulled both the tiger and the car onto the wooden bed.

Xiaohu wanted to lie down too, but the wheelchair fixed to his body restricted his movements. He felt uncomfortable after lying down for a long time and started humming again.

But this time, it barked directly in the direction of Chen Ying, as if it understood that only Chen Ying could help take the thing off its body.

Chen Ying observed the tiger for a while and made sure that its emotions had stabilized before approaching it cautiously and unfastening the straps.

After Xiaohu's hind legs were freed from the support of the wheelchair, he collapsed directly onto the wooden bed.

Dahu didn't feel anything at first, so he rolled to the side to make some space for Dongsheng.

But then, it found that Dongsheng didn't stand up and walk, but used his two front legs to drag half of his body closer to it. It was very surprised to look at Dongsheng's body. It even stretched out its tiger claws to touch it.

Dongsheng moved closer to it, then pounced on it with a roar.

Dahu took advantage of the situation and turned over with Dongsheng in his arms. His soft and weak lower body slid across his abdomen and fell to the other side of his body.

"Ah!" The big tiger let out a strange cry, pressed Dongsheng with one claw, and lowered its head to sniff its lower half of the body.

"Uh, huh. Your claws..."

Dongsheng, with his shaved ears, looked at Dahu obediently.

Da Hu lowered his head and sniffed again, and suddenly fell silent.

It let go of Dongsheng and went out through the small door.

Chen Ying winked at the keeper, who immediately ran outside to the safety fence to observe what the tiger was doing.

Chen Ying walked over and picked up Dongsheng. "Are you going to play here like this, or are you going to take the wheel and go find it?"

Before Dongsheng could make up his mind, the big tiger came back.

And as soon as he came back, he hugged Dongsheng and started licking his hair.

What's wrong with this?
Chen Ying looked suspiciously at the breeder who came running in breathlessly from the outside.

The other party didn't say anything, but gestured for him to go out.

After locking the door, Chen Ying followed the breeder to the entrance to the outer field.

"Doctor Chen, that big tiger seems to have figured something out. It's coming out to mark its territory."

No matter how big the territory is, animals marking their territory is a sign of their desire to survive.

Previously, the tiger had never marked its territory and had not eaten, which was what worried the keeper the most.

His gaze turned to the two tigers. Was it because they shared the same suffering?
They are all disabled tigers, so no one should look down on anyone. Compared with the young tiger that has difficulty walking, the big tiger can only see one eye and has a low voice. What does this mean? What does this mean?

Therefore, happiness is achieved through contrast.

In the next few days, the animals were kept in the animal shed while pest control and weed control were carried out outside to check for any danger. Dahu and Dongsheng could only move around in the animal shed as well.

But the good thing is that Dahu accepted Dongsheng from that day on.

It is not convenient to use a wheelchair in the inner house, so it would occasionally bite Dongsheng's neck and drag him around, and would also hold Dongsheng in its arms when sleeping.

After about a week, the outfield was cleaned up and the animals were able to go out and enjoy the warm spring sun again.

Dahu and Dongsheng have become good friends.

The wooden frame outside has become their favorite napping place.

But Dongsheng hasn't forgotten the three little tigers that day.

One morning, after breakfast, Dongsheng bit the keeper's hand and asked for his small wheelchair.

While chewing the bone, Dahu watched Dongsheng put on his small wheelchair in the cage next door.

After finishing, Dongsheng called out to Dahu twice and left the inner house with small steps.

Da Hu watched its back disappear into the corridor, and suddenly the meat in his mouth no longer tasted good.

He barely finished the tasteless meal and drank two sips of water. Then, Dahu jumped onto the stone platform and lay down. He looked out the window with his only remaining eye, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The little tiger walked on the road with his head held high, and his steps were light and happy.

When Chen Ying received the message from the breeder, she was in the center leader's office, discussing the transportation of the two tigers with several team leaders and two directors.

That’s right, Chen Ying couldn’t stay here for long. He planned to take Dongsheng back to Jiamugou to continue his treatment in a few days.

But to his surprise, Team Leader Jin and Team Leader Qi came to find him, hoping that he would take the sub-adult tiger with a blind eye with him when he left.

Team Leader Jin felt that the tiger was in much better condition when it was with Dongsheng, but once Dongsheng left, no one could guarantee that it could maintain this condition.

To put it bluntly, it is difficult to raise this tiger together with other tigers. If it stays here, it will end up living alone and lonely.

Chen Ying wanted to complain, but finally held it back.

He contacted the rescue center, but the director was of course reluctant to take over. As a result of the final negotiation, the Tiger and Leopard Breeding Center would bear all the medical expenses of the tiger, and would decide its final destination after it recovered.

At this point, Chen Ying was too lazy to say anything more.

As long as he doesn't have to bear the cost personally, it's fine. He already has an old one-eyed tiger, so it doesn't matter if he gets another one. Anyway, he is the real overlord in Jiamugou. The tiger is just a larger golden tabby.

The negotiation was almost done, and they were just waiting for the process when they received the news that Dongsheng was going out to play. Chen Ying took the opportunity to say goodbye and asked them to discuss the specific transportation matters with the Jiamugou Rescue Center.

Just after taking a few steps, Team Leader Qi caught up with him.

"Uncle Qi, why did you come out?"

"Let them fight on their own. I'll go with you to see Xiao Dongsheng."

After walking a few more steps, Team Leader Qi spoke carefully.

"Doctor Chen, don't be angry about this. Old Jin has no other choice. He can't just watch the big tiger go into depression and go on a hunger strike. If he follows you, at least he can survive."

Chen Ying didn't say anything, feeling that Team Leader Qi wasn't telling the whole truth.

But what happened in the center had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to get involved. Just take it away. It was just one more tiger, and it also gave Dongsheng a playmate.
