Chapter 555 Kennel Cough

Shi Shi originally thought that since Zhang Zian accepted Zhao Qi's cat, it would not be a problem to accept this dog, so she immediately asked in amazement, "Why?"

"Because it's sick, treat the sick first." Zhang Zian replied very simply and firmly, "This store doesn't accept sick pets as foster care, even if you go to other stores, they won't accept them."

"It's just a cold! A cold!" Shishi emphasized, picking up Labrador from the ground, "Look, Xiaola only coughs and sneezes, but she's actually very healthy! And we've given him cold medicine, It will be fine in two days."

"Cold medicine? You mean cold medicine for people?" Zhang Zian asked back.

Shishi blinked her eyes, with an expression like you asked too much, "Of course, it's a very high-end imported cold medicine. I usually take it when I catch a cold."

"Dogs can't take human cold medicine. Before it shows any abnormal reactions, I suggest you send it to the pet clinic as soon as possible for a good check." Zhang Zian said solemnly.

"Ah? Why?" Shishi asked without knowing why.

"Because cold medicines for humans may contain ingredients that are harmful to dogs." Zhang Zian patiently explained, "Of course, not all cold medicines are like this. Taking a step back, even if the cold medicine itself The ingredients are harmless to dogs, but do you know how much the dog should take? The dosage for pets should be calculated according to the weight of the pet—how many milligrams and micrograms per kilogram of body weight, and you can’t simply take one tablet at a time according to human standards Take two tablets so, did you calculate it when you took the medicine?"

"This..." Shishi couldn't help being dumbfounded, "I'm a liberal arts student..."

"This has something to do with liberal arts and physiology students!" Zhang Zian complained, pointing to the little red sweater worn by the Labrador and asked, "And what's going on with this sweater?"

"I bought it for Xiaola! Isn't it cold!" She replied confidently.

"Did you put it on before it caught a cold, or after it caught a cold?" Zhang Zian asked again.

Shishi put her finger on her forehead, as if she was thinking hard, "Hmm... Let me think about it... It seems like it was before I caught a cold?"

"Well, if I'm not wrong, it may be because you put a sweater on it that it caught a cold!" Zhang Zian said firmly.

"Why? The weather changed a few days ago. I bought a sweater for him because I was afraid it would catch a cold!" Shishi asked in disbelief. This was the third time she had asked why.

Zhang Zian explained: "Because medium and large dogs don't need to wear extra clothes, their own hair and muscles can generate enough heat, we are not here in Siberia where the ice and snow are, you wear it so thick, and then take it for a walk A dog, the heat generated by its body cannot be dissipated when it is exercising, so when it goes home, it takes off its clothes and then lays down on the cold floor, suddenly cold and hot, this may be the cause of its cold."

Shishi said unconvinced: "But I see that many people are like this. They put all kinds of beautiful clothes on cats and dogs... Besides, the raccoon cat in your shop also wears a mandarin jacket and a mandarin jacket." Are you wearing a hat?"

Her voice was a little high-pitched, and Lao Cha, who was lying innocently on the gun, moved his ears and looked out the door.

Zhang Zian: "..."

Put aside the matter of old tea, in fact, what she said is right. In winter, people often see people wearing thick clothes for pets when they go out.

Such as vests, sweaters, hats, scarves, shoes, etc., dressed like dogs, for fear that pets will be cold.

Zhao Qi said hesitantly: "Actually, I also want to get a dress for my Lan Lan...isn't it right?"

"This depends on the situation. Cats generally stay at home and don't go out, and few cats lie on the ground directly, so cats don't need to wear clothes. As for the raccoon cat in my shop... because it is older." For the sake of rigor, Zhang Zian added, "Unless it is a Sphinx cat, that kind of cat basically has no hair all over its body, and needs to wear clothes in winter."

A few days ago, he saw Xu Junyu, the make-up artist of the "Dogs of War" show a group of photos in Moments. She made a small dress for her Sphinx cat. He also liked it at the time. Because Sphynx cats do need winter clothing, some Shar Peis do, but most other young, strong cats don't.

Cats are very sensitive animals. They need to rely on the hair on their body to sense the airflow. Some cats may have sensory disturbances after wearing clothes, just like being drunk.

As for long-haired cats such as Siberian forest cats, Norwegian forest cats, Ragdoll cats, and Persian cats, it is unnecessary to dress them. Even if people freeze to death, they will not freeze to death.

"Besides, most of the dogs in clothes you see on the street are puppies like Teddy or Chihuahua, right?" Zhang Zian asked.

Shishi nodded ignorantly.

"That's right. Small dogs may need to wear clothes in winter, because they have a large specific surface area and quickly dissipate heat from their bodies, so they need clothes to keep them warm. Medium and large dogs have a small specific surface area and have a stronger body insulation ability." Zhang Zian pointed to her Labrador, "Do you think Labrador is a puppy?"

"Isn't that right? Shouldn't the puppy's surface area be smaller?" Shishi questioned. In fact, she missed the word "bi", or maybe she heard it clearly, but ignored it because she didn't understand it.

"It's the specific surface area! The ratio of surface area to volume! Take a sphere as an example, the smaller the radius, the larger the specific surface area, and the larger the radius, the smaller the specific surface area. The same is true for dogs." Zhang Zian struggled to popularize some mathematics for her Knowledge.

"Oh," she nodded half-understanding, "I'm a liberal arts student..."

"Don't use liberal arts students as an excuse, liberal arts students should also know this common sense!" Zhang Zian suspected that she was a math teacher who died early!

Shi Shi said confidently: "But people just don't understand! If you write novels, you can also write these in. I guess many people don't understand."

"I said I don't write novels... After all, this dog has a cold. If you don't understand it, don't treat it blindly. It's better to send it to a pet clinic." Zhang Zian brought the topic back.

"I'm worried that Xiaola will contract other diseases if he is sent to the pet clinic..." Shishi said in a tangled voice, "Master Zhang, you know so much, why don't you help my Xiaola treat it?"

"No, first of all, I'm not a licensed veterinarian, and I don't have a license to practice medicine. Secondly, I don't dare to let your dog into my shop. I'm afraid that its cold will infect the dogs in my shop!"

In order to be cautious, Zhang Zian kept talking to them outside against the cold wind, and did not invite them into the store, because he was afraid that this Labrador's cold would infect other puppies.

"How could it be? It's not flu that my little one got! It's just a common cold!" Shishi said smugly again.

Liu Sanlang thought for a while, and echoed: "I remember that the agreement on the pet sale says, haven't the dogs in your store been vaccinated against the flu? Will they still get the flu?"

Zhang Zian explained: "There are many kinds of flu, and the flu virus often mutates. The vaccine is only for some respiratory infectious diseases. In addition, it is difficult to distinguish the flu from the common cold in terms of symptoms. Even the common cold is divided into infectious diseases. Sexuality and non-infectiousness, I'm not an expert in this area, even if my dog ​​has a cold, I still have to be isolated from other dogs, and then rushed to the vet clinic."

As he spoke, the Labrador sneezed again, and hung his head listlessly, obviously not as lively as other Labradors of the same age.

Zhang Zian pointedly said: "Canine respiratory infectious diseases are very contagious. Once you get sick, you must go to the doctor as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily infect other dogs in the family, so it is called 'kennel cough', which means One dog is infected, and soon the whole litter of dogs is infected. Not only that, but if you take the sick dog for a walk and meet someone else’s dog on the road, you may also infect more dogs.”

"Okay, I got it, then Sanlang, let's send Xiaola to the pet clinic right away." Shishi was finally speechless, and seeing Zhang Zian's firm attitude, she said to Liu Sanlang.

"Okay." Liu Sanlang obeyed her words.

"Also, when your dog recovers from illness, don't put any more clothes on it. At most, put a raincoat on it when you walk the dog in snowy days. Don't let its fur be wet by snow. If you don't know Where can I buy a raincoat suitable for dogs, you can come to our store to buy it. Also, try to keep the room as dry as possible, with more ventilation, and a humid environment is more likely to breed bacteria. This is not only effective for dogs, but also effective for people to avoid colds. "

Zhang Zian gave them advice. After all, this Labrador was bought from his shop, so this could be considered after-sales service.

Liu Sanlang nodded frequently, keeping Zhang Zian's suggestion firmly in his heart.

Shishi had already got into the car with Xiaola in her arms, and Zhao Qi left Zhang Zian with the flight case containing Lan Lan, and also got into the car, planning to go back by the car.

Before Liu Sanlang got into the car, he scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Master Zhang, I actually have something else to do."

"What's the matter? Don't talk about borrowing money!" Zhang Zian refused vigilantly.

"It's not about borrowing money, it's my family's Xiaola... a little naughty." Liu Sanlang said helplessly, "I like to call when I have nothing to do. The neighbors have complained to the property several times, and occasionally they will defecate anywhere at home or in the corridor... "

Zhang Zian frowned, "You didn't train it not to bark or defecate indiscriminately? Didn't I tell you that raising a dog is different from raising a cat, and you must train it?"

"Yeah...but every time I'm a little cruel, Shishi will protect Xiaola and say that I'm a dog abuser, and it turns out to be like this..." Liu Sanlang smiled wryly, "Manager Zhang, can you Help? Help it fix its bad habits, and I'll pay for it."

Zhang Zian pondered for a while, "Cure his cold first, and then talk about other things."...
