Chapter 430 Salt Disease
“Huh? The cow is sick? Then we won’t go home, let’s go take a look first.”
When Chen Ling heard that there was something going on over there, he wanted to hug him Get up Ruirui and leave.
"Hey, no, just go there by yourself, can't you just follow me while I hold Ruirui in my arms? I haven't seen the little guy for a long time, so I need to hold him for a while."
"Rui Rui, could you please pour some more sugar water into the little kettle that aunt gave you? It's so sweet."
Zhong Xiaoyun was so happy to see Ruirui that she hugged the little baby and didn't want to say anything to Chen Ling.
Chen Ling had no choice but to ride on his horse and rush towards Qin Qiumei's house.
Liang Hongyu and his wife were in Beigan this year to deal with the mess at home, and they haven't been able to come back for almost half a year. The two cattle, one big and one small, were left to Qin Qiumei's family to raise.
Originally, it would have been okay to leave it to Chen Ling’s family to raise, but it was the Chinese New Year and there were a lot of things to be busy with. Seeing that they had enough to raise at home, they didn’t go to the village to take it to the village.
They didn’t expect that Chen Ling would later get a horse and three oxen.
...
Qin Qiumei’s house is only a few houses away from Liang Hongyu’s yard, and not a few steps away from where Wang Zhenzhen goes to school.
Chen Ling rode a little green horse through the streets and came here at a neither fast nor slow speed.
Anyway, I was very familiar with it. After entering the house, I saw Qin Qiumei at home. She put down the mountain donkey meat and didn't say anything else. She directly asked about the cow.
Qin Qiumei put away the mountain donkey meat and took him to another yard to look at the cows.
"Not the two or three days that Xiaoyun mentioned. Just yesterday morning when my father-in-law was grazing the cows, both cows seemed lethargic and said they didn't like to eat grass. After that, for most of the day, they only drank water and had diarrhea..."
"There are also a lot of cattle raising near the county this year. People say it may be because they didn't get vaccinated in the spring. I want to see you tomorrow to see if you can give them two shots."
Actual When livestock and domestic animals are sick, the most common symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, lack of energy, and not wanting to eat.
It’s really hard to tell what the disease is caused by just knowing the symptoms.
For example, Jiang Xiaoqing’s cow ate a nail after it became flooded, and its stomach was pierced.
I also have diarrhea, lack of energy, and am getting thinner and thinner.
Qin Qiumei's family has never raised livestock. After asking other cattle farmers in the county, they thought it was because they had not been vaccinated. In fact, it was not a big deal.
As a result, Chen Ling went to the front yard of her house to take a look.
Two oxen, one large and one small, stood up from the base of the wall, swung their tails, and looked at Chen Ling and the two people who walked in with a frightened look.
Seeing this, Qin Qiumei opened the door, hung the door lock, picked up a bucket of fresh water and walked over: "What are you doing, don't you know me? I feed you all day long, and you do it every time you are surprised. What?”
"Come, drink water."
Then he smiled at Chen Ling and said: "Those who haven't eaten grass or food in the past two days, we fed them more water. It's hot and they can't be short of water. Ah, fortunately, they drank water happily. "
The cow mother and her son drank water happily. They crowded in front of the bucket and drank a cup of cow drink.
Seeing this, Qin Qiumei took another bucket of water and put it over.
Chen Ling frowned slightly when he saw this, but said nothing. He just walked to where the two cows were lying to look at the cow dung they pulled.
"Qiu Mei, these two cows are in your house. Are they just left wherever they sleep?"
"Ah? No, we didn't pen them. The yard is such a big place, where they can eat, sleep and eat." Lazarus is definitely not in the same place, and he knows it is clean."
Qin Qiumei said quickly.
This cow is similar to a dog.
As long as you don't tie it up, don't confine it in a small place like a cattle pen to restrict its free range of activities.
The place where it poops and pees and the place where it sleeps and rest are generally not together.
"Then it's true that there is something wrong with the body. It's not a matter of not getting vaccinations... Look, when they were lying here just now, they just pulled the cow dung here."< br>
Chen Ling pointed to a few cow dung at the base of the wall and said: "This is not only diarrhea, but also bloody. Fortunately, I came here today. If you delay looking for me for another two days, you will be waiting for compensation." Aunt Hongyu, give me two cows.”
Compensating for two cows is of course a joke.
But Qin Qiumei panicked when he heard that it was so serious: "So serious? It's not like the cow you mentioned before. It ate something and pierced its intestines, right?"
< br>
Chen Ling looked at the two oxen, one large and one small, and said, "I'm not sure what the disease is yet. I'll take a look."
Qin Qiumei understands him better now.
Although outsiders often say that he is careless, lazy, etc., in fact, this kid is still very cautious and serious when encountering things. If he is not sure, he will not say it easily if he has an idea in his heart.
Chen Ling did have a rough idea and judgment in his mind.
Hands behind his back, he walked around the two oxen twice and looked at the muzzle, belly, hooves, and tail carefully.
His eyes especially stayed on the muzzles of the two cows for a long time.
I saw that after drinking two buckets of water, the cow mother and her son were still holding the bucket, licking their tongues, and wanted to go to the faucet to find water. Moreover, the noses that had just been exposed to water quickly dried up and became dry. Gotta dry.
The guess in my heart was roughly confirmed.
Then he turned around and asked Qin Qiumei, who was worried and anxious: "There are some signs of salt poisoning. Are your parents-in-law at home? Call them over and ask if you give salt to the cows. Too much? ”
“Too much salt? ”
Qin Qiumei was obviously taken aback, and subconsciously pulled up the hair on her forehead and asked, "Can eating salt also cause poisoning? Recently, my father-in-law often grazes cattle by the river and in the forest farm with people from nearby villages, and he sees that people prepare coarse salt for the cattle. He said that the cows grew stronger after eating them regularly, so he took some. Isn’t it because the salt they gave him was poisonous?” I'd better call your father-in-law to ask how much salt was fed to the cows and whether they were all fed at once."
"No, there's no need to call them. I usually feed the cows these days, and Su Su doesn't let him. I sweat more and move more in the summer to expel the cold from my body..."
Qin Qiumei shook her head and gestured to Chen Ling with her hands: "I brought back green salt blocks that were almost as big as a fist. They are indeed I liked it very much, and I licked it all away in two or three days."
Seeing Chen Ling's helpless look, she was a little puzzled and said: "I don't think it's much, two cows can eat together. ”
Chen Ling was even more speechless: "Have you fed them salt before?" "I feed them very rarely, just in winter and spring. When the weather is not hot, I mix some into the grass. Aunt Hongyu asked me."
Qin Qiumei replied matter-of-factly.
"Then it won't end."
Chen Ling raised his forehead and said: "Normally, cows don't eat much salt, so feeding them so much salt all at once, it's still this summer, the cows are sweating and If you don’t drink water in time, the cow will definitely be poisoned by salt.”
Anyone who has raised cattle and sheep knows that these animals cannot lack salt. They need to feed a little salt from time to time, or let them lick salt bricks or something.
Otherwise, if there is a lack of salt, animals will have limb weakness like humans, which will affect their growth and development.
But, this salt cannot be fed to livestock.
Especially now, the weather is hot in summer. Animals sweat a lot. If they eat too much salt, the body will lose water faster. If they can't drink enough water, salt will appear soon. Poisoned.
"What are you two arguing about? I heard it right outside the door."
But it was Zhong Xiaoyun who opened the door and walked in with Ruirui in her arms: "Come, let's see what your father and Aunt Qiumei are arguing about?"
"No quarrel, Fugui dislikes me for not knowing how to feed cows. They said I poisoned the cow."
Qin Qiumei gave Chen Ling a helpless look and opened her arms to hug Ruirui, "Come on, aunt, give me a kiss."
< br>"Poisoned?"
Zhong Xiaoyun was also stunned for a moment. After handing Ruirui to her, she looked over and immediately shouted: "Oh, it's really true. Rich, look at that calf vomiting." Foamed. ”
Chen Ling noticed at this time that the calf was not only frothing, but its body was also twitching and twitching, as if it wanted to vomit something out.
This is similar to the symptoms of dehydration. Once you eat and drink a lot of water, you can't help but vomit and have diarrhea.
"Now it's definitely salt poisoning. The calf is young, and if it gets worse, it will die if it is delayed any longer."
Chen Ling pouted and said.
“Since they got sick from eating too much salt, can’t we give them more water?” The two women had not yet realized the seriousness of the disease.
After hearing that it was salt poisoning, it seemed as if salt had no toxicity at all, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
"Definitely not possible. Salt poisoning is also poisoning. In severe cases, you will die of dehydration. If it is acute, it will only take an hour for the cow to die."
Chen Ling was too lazy to explain any more, so he just Said: "It's not serious now. I'll go outside to buy some medicine injections and raw soy milk. I'll give them two injections later and feed them something to soothe their stomach and dilute the salt."
Qin Qiumei said quickly: "I Go ahead, just watch them here and tell me what medicine to buy.”
Liang Hongyu asked her family to raise cattle, but they almost died. Now she has to trouble Chen Ling to treat her illness, and she feels very sorry. Rushing to buy it.
"No, I'm riding fast. I don't know if the veterinary station here is complete or not. If the veterinary medicine is out, you have to buy human medicine. You don't know which one to use instead, so I'll go with it."< br>
Chen Ling shook her head and said to her son: "Ruirui, follow the two aunts obediently. Dad will be back soon."
Then he got on his horse and went to the veterinary station first, and then Doufufang, bought the medicine needle and raw soy milk.
After returning, give the cow an injection first, and then feed it with oil and raw soy milk. The oil and soy milk need to be fed into the cow's belly at intervals.
It took me two hours to finish it.
The two women couldn't help much, they just looked after Ruirui, giving the little guy something to play with, and then going out to buy something to eat.
Coaxed the brat to such a happy state that he couldn’t even think about Shu.
He was clamoring for his aunt to kiss him and hold him in his arms. His voice filled the whole yard. He was so noisy that Chen Ling kept glaring at him, but he was just careless. He smiled at Chen Ling.
Nearly an hour later, the symptoms of the two cattle finally eased and they took the initiative to eat grass.
After two days of not eating and only drinking water, I was already hungry.
Indeed, as long as they are willing to eat, it proves that their symptoms of salt poisoning are almost cured.
After this incident, Chen Ling, a veterinarian, became even more famous in the county.
Although there are not many obvious benefits, but with this name, his family’s cats, dogs and livestock are better raised than others, and they sell for more money than others, so others will not think it is wrong. Something is wrong.
He will only regard it as his ability.
……
"Ah? My godfather and godmother want to stay here? What do they think?"
"Well, they said they wanted to live in seclusion in the countryside. They wanted to live in the mountains but didn't let them go. They followed our village in the afternoon. The branch secretary went to pick a place. "
After treating the scalpers, it was time for the elementary school to end.
Chen Ling took her son to the school gate to wait for the little girl to finish school.
Qin Qiumei packed up the house and came over to wait with the father and son. When they heard Chen Ling talking about Zhao Dahai's family, they said they would go and have a look in the next two days.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you. I heard that something happened in your village, and many people were arrested?"
"Well, it's still those evil-minded guys who went to the mountains to cause trouble... Don’t tell me, the mountains are in a mess recently, and I don’t want Uncle Zhao and the others to build a house in the mountains to live in.”
Chen Ling briefly explained what happened in the village, causing the two women to exclaim again and again. Unexpectedly, such a thrilling thing happened in their village.
Qin Qiumei's mood was even more complicated: "It turns out that such a big thing has happened, and the explosives were used. No wonder Chun Yuan was arrested, and Dongmei didn't come to ask me to find someone to intercede."< br>
Unknowingly, there were many parents and vendors picking up their children from school, and they also listened very seriously.
From time to time, he also exclaimed.
It was only then that Chen Ling realized that someone else was listening. Then he looked around, his face suddenly turned red, and he thought: It's over, I was careless, this matter actually got out from my mouth.
I didn’t expect that I would also have a bad day.
