Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 511 This is an unpleasant misunderstanding
The video was connected immediately. When Chen Ying saw Erniu, Erniu also saw him through the screen.

"Oh, Two-legged beast, please save my child." Erniu did not pounce on the screen the moment she saw Chen Ying as she did before, wishing she could get through the screen and cuddle with him.

Chen Ying quickly scanned Erniu's body and confirmed that there were no signs of injury on her body, then heaved a sigh of relief.

The next moment, his eyes turned to the kitten that Erniu was holding in her arms, "Is this little guy just born?"

This skinny guy is in worse condition than the four cubs back then.

A few days ago, he contacted the keeper of the four cubs, who sent him photos. The four cubs are healthy now, but the sequelae of dystocia still exist.

Have you ever seen a person tripping over his own legs and breaking them? Have you ever seen a leopard rolling and crawling because of a turtledove that strayed into the leopard park?

These facts, which would be considered impossible jokes in other leopards, are all the colorful black history of the four cubs!
Although the fourth cub was too weak to get milk at that time and couldn't keep up with the growth pace of its brothers and sisters, it would have been a lively little guy if Erniu had only fed it.

But this kid now is not like that. Just by looking at his eyes, he can see that the kid's body is so thin that his ribs are exposed.

"On the way back, I gave it some medicine and placed it in the incubator to breathe oxygen, and its condition improved a little. But after we came back, it seemed to sense the change of environment and became very uneasy. To be on the safe side, I had no choice but to let it return to Erniu."

"Yes. You can try using XX medicine first, which can enhance its myocardial vitality. You can also give it oxygen three times a day, each time for twenty minutes, and pay attention to its condition. When it is breathing oxygen, you can let it stay next to Erniu and put the oxygen mask on it. Erniu will comfort it."

After a series of medical instructions were given, Xiao Song quickly recorded them on the computer, and the system would prompt her to provide treatment on time.

Xiao Song couldn't complete the task of treating the cub by herself, so she decisively went to the Animal Husbandry Bureau to ask for help.

When they heard that Erniu had been found and that there was a dying cub, everyone worked together as quickly as possible. In just half an hour, the Animal Husbandry Bureau vacated a room and converted it into a room for Erniu and the cub, and also installed and debugged a special oxygen supply equipment.

The graduate students from the research and study base next door cannot help for the time being, but they can do the mechanical observation and recording. These simple tasks are taken care of by them. They work in shifts of four hours and accompany, observe and record uninterruptedly for 24 hours.

After receiving Chen Ying's call, Dao Meihua directly coordinated a private plane to take Chen Ying and Professor Bai to the Heyuan First Aid Station.

Although the golden cat and the little one-horned rhino are also very precious, emotionally speaking, even if they were tied together, they could not compare to Erniu's pleading whimper.

Chen Ying decisively dropped everything and rushed to Heyuan. She helped Professor Bai get off the plane. After that, she didn't have time to take care of the elderly and frail teacher. After entrusting him to Uncle Zhaxi who had rushed back, Chen Ying rushed into Erniu's room.

Uncle Zhaxi, who was supporting Professor Bai, didn't have time to say anything before he looked at the open cabin door in shock.

At this moment, several animals jumped down from above one after another.

He recognized the ones leading the group. They were Jin Ya and Xiao Jin, who had come with Chen Ying before. But the two big leopards following behind... Could leopards survive in Heyuan?

Further back, there are two smaller lynxes and a golden cat. Although the golden cat is not as long as the gray-white lynx, it looks more than one size larger than the lynx in cross section.

After Jin Ya and her friends and family got off the plane, she waited quietly for a while to allow Leopard Brother and Sister Leopard and Fatty Jin, who were here for the first time, to adapt to the environment.

This area is not deep in the uninhabited area, and the oxygen content is relatively good. Animals can adapt much faster than humans.

After estimating that Brother and Sister Leopard were fine, Jin Ya called out to Sister Leopard and ran to see Erniu and her cubs. The other animals were taken by Xiao Jin and lynx cub Huihui to see Erniu's three children who were about to grow up.

Other animals are not allowed to enter Erniu’s room for the time being, for fear that they will bring in germs that may affect the cub’s health.

Jin Ya jumped onto the windowsill skillfully and motioned to Sister Bao to jump onto the windowsill next to her and look inside.

The windowsill is not very high, but it is a piece of cake for two big cats with super jumping abilities.

After they went up, they didn't make any noise. They just watched quietly as Chen Ying examined the cub in the room.

Chen Ying changed her coat, put on a clean white coat, put on gloves and a mask, and examined the cub immediately.

"There are no problems with the bones and skin of the body, but the overall body is somewhat stunted. The muscle tone is very poor, the ability to grasp is almost non-existent, the teeth are underdeveloped, and the eyes have not yet opened."

This cub is already one month old, but its development is not as good as a one-week-old leopard cub. Normal snow leopards can open their eyes after one week, and the worst is no more than ten days, but this cub has not opened its eyes for thirty days, which makes people wonder if there is something wrong with its eyes.

Many of the equipment in the emergency room of the first aid station are the most advanced, but Xiao Song can only operate most of them. Uncle Zhaxi and the veterinary students studying next door don't even dare to touch them.

After the initial physical examination, Chen Ying fed the little guy some milk, then put him in an incubator and took him to the emergency room.

Erniu naturally followed.

When it went out, it saw Jin Ya and a strange leopard, but it did not say hello. It just wagged its tail slightly and trotted after Chen Ying.

Arriving at the door of the emergency room, Chen Ying touched Erniu's head and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to save it. You just stay outside the door and let Jin Ya and Sister Bao accompany you. You haven't met Sister Bao yet. She is a very steady sister with rich experience in raising cubs."

After quickly explaining, Chen Ying went to the isolation room to change clothes and disinfected the outside of the incubator before taking the little guy out and placing him in the fixed ICU room in the emergency room.

Perhaps because Chen Ying was very friendly, the cub was not as panicked as before when he was taken away from his mother by his own hands.

The next moment, it felt warm and relaxed, especially the soft fingertips stroking from the top of its head to the tip of its tail, making it unable to help but raise its head with all its strength.

This is different from the licking of its mother. It seems to give it a hint of strength, letting it know that it may be able to survive.

"Brother Ying, the baby's test results are out. He has congenital vascular dysplasia, which affects the blood supply to the organs and brain, resulting in developmental delay or even failure to develop."

Chen Ying was silent for a while, then tilted his head to think about it, "Is it similar to human fibromuscular dysplasia?"

This is a systemic vascular disease characterized by abnormal development of non-atherosclerotic smooth muscle fibers and elastic tissue in small and medium-sized arteries, especially the renal arteries and carotid arteries, and is a neurological disease that is more likely to occur in women than in men.

Xiao Song looked at Chen Ying blankly. Weren't they discussing the baby's condition? How did they end up talking about the latest neurological disease in humans?
But she didn't ask, but silently memorized the term and prepared to go back and check what the disease was. After knowing the cause of the disease, Chen Ying relaxed a lot.

This disease can be improved with surgery, but the cub’s current physical condition certainly does not allow for surgery. The most urgent task is to prepare food and nutritional supplements specifically suitable for it based on its symptoms and physical condition.

Professor Bai stood outside the emergency room door, asked for Xiao Song's tablet, and carefully reviewed the cub's various test results, including the imaging report.

"In addition to fibromuscular dysplasia, there may also be genetic problems." Professor Bai asked Xiao Song to contact the genetic laboratory at Qingdao University to conduct a genetic screening on the cub as quickly as possible.

I have to say, it’s easier to get things done when you know someone well.

Xiao Song had encountered animals that he wanted to do genetic testing on before, but the equipment in the animal laboratory in the province was not very good. He wanted to borrow the equipment from the human medical laboratory for inspection, but they ignored him or asked for a price much higher than the market price.

Or you can only send it to the laboratories of the capital or the top universities in related majors, but the problem is that they all have their own tasks. If you interfere, not only may you disrupt their experiments, but you will also have to arrange special personnel for the work and you won't earn any money, so no one will be willing to help.

Professor Bai is different. He has a high status and many old classmates. He can accomplish things that Xiao Song cannot do with just one phone call.

Several Dao family staff members also came with the private plane to help with coordination. They drove here from the city and arrived half an hour earlier than Chen Ying and the others.

After hearing Professor Bai's arrangement, one of them took the initiative to take Xiao Song to deal with the genetic testing of the cub, while the other two continued to stand by to meet Chen Ying's needs as soon as possible.

Jin Ya and Sister Bao didn't say too much nonsense to Erniu. They only asked her why she gave birth to the cub.

After all, Sister Leopard is much more experienced, and she quickly pieced together the truth from Erniu's description.

"This must be a very unpleasant misunderstanding." Sister Bao looked at Erniu with a serious face, "I heard from Jin Ya that you are doing well in this area, and many animals have a good relationship with you. So even if you hunt in other people's territories, as long as you don't go too far, no animal will make things difficult for you. So that annoying big guy probably misunderstood your strength and thought that you relied on your own advantages to force all the animals to tolerate you."

Erniu and Jinya's furry faces were filled with confusion, and at first glance they looked like two clear-headed fish.

Looking at these two silly sisters, Sister Leopard sighed silently and explained it to them carefully.

In a nutshell, the shameless big snow leopard mistakenly thought that Erniu was the most powerful snow leopard in the wilderness, and a female, so it chose Erniu to bear its offspring.

It sounds speechless, right? If it were a human, he would definitely be called a naive man. But this is the animal world, and having children with the strongest member of the opposite sex is a mark engraved in the genes of all animals.

The more powerful the animal, the more it senses the importance of its genes to its group.

"So, Sister Leopard, what you mean is that because Erniu has such a strong friendship, all the animals in the wilderness are tolerant of her, but this was misunderstood by the foreign leopard as Erniu being the largest female animal in this territory?"

Erniu's pupils went from confusion to shock, and she was almost frightened to the point of her body freezing.

Jin Ya opened and closed her mouth for more than ten times, and finally said something that was unclear whether it was mocking or sympathetic, "From this perspective, Erniu is really strong."

Sister Leopard flicked her tail lightly, hitting Jin Ya lightly.

Jin Ya pursed her lips and bowed her head to apologize.

Erniu didn't pay attention to Jinya's words. She looked at Sister Bao and said, "Since the blood of that big guy is very strong, why is my cub not as good as its brothers and sisters?"

Sister Leopard thought about it and guessed, "Maybe it's because you're too strong. I heard about your situation from the two-legged beasts. Actually, your body is not very strong, right?"

Erniu nodded. There was nothing to be ashamed of. It had lived to this day, and had experienced so much. It had raised itself up by digging holes with its own hands. What was face? Could it be eaten?

"That's probably the case. It's too strong, and your bloodline isn't that strong, so there's a problem. Of course, there's another possibility, that you and the big leopard might be blood relatives."

As expected of a knowledgeable Leopard who has been in Jiamugou for several years, Sister Leopard’s guess is somewhat based on facts.

Just like humans, incompatible blood types or carrying the same disease-causing genes may cause newborns to suffer from various diseases.

The same is true for snow leopards, which are also mammals.

Why do offspring from inbreeding suffer from various diseases? Isn’t it because their genes are too similar and the probability of carrying disease-causing genes is much higher than that of other pairings?

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the big snow leopard and Erniu may have the same father or the same mother?"

"It's unlikely that they have the same mother, but it's very likely that they are blood relatives in the previous generation or the generation before that."

Erniu was speechless for a while, and finally looked at Sister Bao dejectedly, "Thank you, Sister Bao, to be honest, it's because I'm not strong enough that my cub..."

"Pa." Sister Leopard flicked her tail at Erniu. "Don't be like this. You have to trust the bipeds. Besides, even if your cub is not used to living in the wild, the bipeds have special places for it to grow up. Don't worry."

Erniu lay down with her chin resting on her front legs, her big eyes looking sadly towards the room, the whole leopard looked very emo.

"Of course I believe in Twolegs, but the cub's father is so powerful, and yet it's difficult for it to even grow up."

Sister Leopard didn’t know what to say. She could only lie down with the baby and provide spiritual support to it and its cub.

Jin Ya didn't have that much of a sad mood. She jumped off the windowsill and looked up at Leopard Sister. "I'll go talk to Xiao Jin, and then we'll go find that big guy. It's so rude to bully my second daughter like that. I must get back at him."

Sister Leopard rolled her eyes and casually wagged her tail, signaling it to play by itself and not to make too much noise.

Jin Ya went around to the back of the Heyuan First Aid Station and saw a group of furry creatures of all sizes lying and chatting under the awning inside the fence.
