Chapter 829: Rabies

Rabies, with a fatality rate of more than 99%, makes people turn pale, but people subconsciously feel that this terrible infectious disease is far away from themselves, and it is impossible for their pets to get this disease.

In fact, according to inaccurate statistics, at least tens of thousands of people die of rabies every year in the world. Once the disease occurs, it is almost certain to die.

Amidst the uproar, Zhao Qi asked repeatedly: "Rabies? Are you sure?"

Zhang Zian shook his head, "I'm not sure, but judging from the symptoms of this cat, I'm at least 90% sure it's rabies."

As soon as this remark came out, all the customers who were close to the cat bag couldn't help taking a few steps back and staying away as much as possible, as if the cat bag contained a time bomb.

"Sister Wenying, calm down first, don't panic, it's useless to panic, your arm hasn't been scratched, the chance of contracting rabies is not high, but the vaccine is still necessary." Zhang Zian said slowly, " Let me ask a few questions, think about it carefully."

Liu Wenying took a few deep breaths, her face turned pale, and she nodded stiffly.

"First of all, are you sure Yueyue wasn't scratched or bitten? Where's your husband?" Zhang Zian asked again, because Liu Wenying was clearly in a state of despair after hearing the word "rabies". Like losing his soul, he didn't listen to anything.

Liu Wenying mechanically looked at Yueyue, tried hard to think and remember, and answered with difficulty after a few seconds: "No, no, I just bathed her last night. If she has any injuries, I can definitely see them. I My husband usually doesn't tease or touch cats...I'll call him later and ask him."

"That's good." Zhang Zian also breathed a sigh of relief, "Second question, has your cat been scratched or bitten by other cats or dogs recently?"

Liu Wenying raises Siam, which is known as the "dog among cats". She often takes it downstairs to play like a dog.

There are many households in the community who have cats and dogs. In the past, the owners never walked their dogs on a leash. Later, after several incidents of dogs scaring or hurting people, the property management of the community repeatedly ordered that dogs must be kept on a leash. Gradually, almost no People don't walk their dogs on leashes anymore.

But in terms of cats, there are relatively few people who bring cats downstairs to play. Basically, Liu Wenying’s family is the only one who walks cats on a leash, and they are often teased by other owners in the community.

"No..." Liu Wenying said hesitantly, and then his face changed, "Ah! A few days ago, my husband took Mao Mao downstairs to play, and when he came back, his hair was scratched and there was a wound on his body. My husband said that a dirty stray cat came from nowhere, and suddenly jumped over and grabbed Mao Mao twice, but was immediately scared by my husband and ran away... because there was not much blood,

I didn't care. "

Zhang Zian frowned secretly, it's a stray cat again...

"It seems that for this reason, the stray cat may be a carrier of rabies virus, and it transmitted the virus to your cat." He speculated.

Liu Wenying's legs were trembling, and she grabbed the last ray of hope and asked, "Cats can also transmit rabies? Aren't they all infected by dogs?"

"Everyone is contagious. In theory, any warm-blooded animal may carry rabies virus. If a dog bites a person, it must be vaccinated. Everyone has such common sense. It is said that rabies transmitted by cats only accounts for 3% of the total number of rabies infections. , It is precisely because the cases are rare that they are often ignored. Although the probability is extremely small, the danger always exists." Zhang Zian explained.

Customers who are choosing pets or bringing their pets to checkout heard that everyone felt insecure, and even the idea of ​​keeping pets was shaken.

Zhang Zian hastily added: "However, cats with innocent backgrounds and kept at home are unlikely to be infected and spread rabies. It doesn't matter if you are scratched or bitten by such a cat. You can rest assured about this. It needs to be paid attention to." , It is a cat that has had physical contact with cats and dogs outside, or a cat that sneaked out of the house and came back with an injury. If it is scratched or bitten by such a cat, it is better to be vaccinated to be on the safe side. Big loss."

Everyone listened, and finally put their hearts back into their stomachs.

The vast majority of people keep cats in deep boudoirs. Except for being taken to the clinic by the owner for medical examination or sterilization, they may never leave the house throughout their lives, and there is no possibility of contracting rabies.

It is not easy to be bitten by your own dog if you own a dog, but if you own a cat... Which cat owner has not been scratched and bitten? If you have to be vaccinated every time you are bitten or caught, you really can't raise it.

Liu Wenying felt a dull pain in her head, and her body seemed to be roasted by fire for a while, and fell into a hole in the ice for a while, and she kept feeling nauseated.

She was fine just now, but when she heard that she might be infected with rabies, out of psychological effects, she immediately became flustered and felt uncomfortable all over her body. She even suspected that she had an illness and was about to die soon...

The point is, it was two days ago that she was scratched, so now is it too late to get vaccinated?

Compared with her own safety, what she is actually afraid of is that she will die, what will Yueyue do? Did you lose your mother at such a young age? Will my husband find a cruel stepmother for Yueyue?

Her thinking was extremely chaotic, and she lost her mind.

Zhang Zian winked at Zhao Qi, "Are you okay now? Go and get the vaccine with Sister Wenying."

"Okay...okay!" Zhao Qi was also very flustered, she thought of her own Lan Lan just now, luckily Lan Lan never went out.

"Wang Gan, call a taxi and go to the nearest health and epidemic prevention station." Zhang Zian greeted again.

Wang Gan quickly ran out to hail a taxi.

Zhao Qi and other enthusiastic customers helped Liu Wenying, whose legs and feet were weak, to go out, and Lian Yueyue got into a taxi together.

"Manager Zhang, what should I do with this cat? It can't be kept here all the time, right?" A customer pointed to the cat bag and asked.

Everyone was terrified of the cat bag, and no one dared to approach it, for fear that the sick cat would jump out of it and hurt people. Although they knew it was impossible, they didn't want to put themselves in danger.

"Think of a way to kill the cat, and then throw away the bag! Don't take it out, what if it hurts someone?" Someone suggested, "Anyway, the cat will definitely die."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"No, it's not that simple." Zhang Zian denied the proposal, "Animals infected with rabies cannot be handled casually like this."

He bent down to pick up the cat bag, and said to Lu Yiyun and Wang Gan, "I'll go out for a while to the pet clinic in the north, and I'll be back soon. You guys take care of the store first."

The two nodded anxiously, "Master, be careful..."

"Wait! I'm going too!"

Fina jumped off the cat climbing frame, followed Zhang Zian and left the pet shop.
