"It's okay. I brought an anesthetic spray.”
Lu Xiao shook his head and said softly,"
"This dosage of anesthetic spray is definitely not enough to perform surgery on it, but it's not a problem to check its body.”
As he spoke, Lu Xiao put the first aid kit he had just brought on the ground and opened it to take out a small bottle.
Hearing the clattering noises coming from its side, the Snowfield Tiger, who was lying on the ground weakly, raised its head with difficulty.
It squeezed out a low and hoarse roar from its throat, trying to struggle away from the direction of the sound.
However, its body that was almost exhausted was no longer enough to support this movement. It only moved a little distance before its big furry head drooped down weakly again.
"Don't move. Be good."
As Lu Xiao spoke, he opened the bottle cap of the anesthetic and sprayed it steadily and accurately at the Snowfield Tiger's mouth and nose.
"Old Hong, go and call one of your bolder ones over. Help me lift it and turn it over. I'll do a physical examination for it.
Oh right, bring some clean bedding over.”
Lu Xiao waited until its slightly rapid breathing slowed down and confirmed that the anesthetic had taken effect before he turned to look at Hong Mingcheng and said.
"Deal! Professor Lu, please wait for a moment. I'll call someone over right away.”
Hong Mingcheng nodded and turned to leave.
Not long after, he brought back two tall and strong young men, each carrying a large bundle of dry and fresh straw.
"The two of you spread the straw in a clean place next to it, then open this iron cage and carry it on the straw.”
While Hongming Cheng was calling for reinforcements, Lu Xiao had already put a muzzle on the Snowfield Tiger, just in case.
As he gave instructions, he changed into clean sterile gloves and prepared the medicine.
As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.
Even if this adult Snowfield Tiger was already skinny and on the verge of death, it was not something that a single person could lift.
The iron cage was quickly opened. The two young men and Hong Mingcheng worked together to arrange the Snowfield Tiger in the position Lu Xiao had designated.
On the way here, they heard that Lu Xiao was going to give it a physical examination. The two lads were a little nervous. After all, the Snowfield Tiger had been very excited and aggressive previously.
However, when they saw the mask on and its state after anesthesia, the two of them were relieved.
Lu Xiao did not care about the dirt on the floor in the room. He sat on the ground and gently lifted the head of the Snowfield Tiger that hung down weakly on his knees to examine it carefully.
Because his injured eyes had not been treated in time, his upper and lower eyelids were already stuck together by the pus.
Lu Xiao used a cotton ball dipped in povidone and repeatedly wiped it gently before opening the gap slightly.
The originally round, plump, and clear eyeball was now deformed. A slight touch would cause bloody pus to flow out.
The wound at the corner of his eye should not have been too serious, but it had been left untouched for a long time. The wound gradually festered and had a tendency to worsen.
In addition, its weak body could not provide the nutrients needed for the wound to heal…No wonder it was dragged out like this.
"Professor Lu, how is it?"
Seeing Lu Xiao's expression become more and more solemn as he treated his wound, Hong Mingcheng asked in a low voice, feeling a little uneasy.
"The eye will definitely be lost. With the degree of decay and its physical condition…Even if the eyeball is removed, the chances of long-term survival are very slim.
I'm sorry, my abilities are limited…I know this isn't the answer you want to hear, but there's no other way…"
Lu Xiao let out a long sigh and replied softly.
"…Professor Lu, this is not your fault.”
After a moment of silence, Hong Mingcheng shook his head and said with difficulty,
"In fact, we have found this Snowfield Tiger for more than half a month, but as you can see, the conditions here are really limited.
Although we tried to ask for help from many places, only you responded to us and came personally…
We're already very grateful for this. Please don't say that you don't have enough ability. If you really want to say that you don't have enough ability, it should be us.”
"Sigh…I've dealt with many animal protection organizations during my field trips. How could I not know your difficulties?”
Lu Xiao shook his head and said,"
"Without funds and connections, even if there is such a critical discovery, it will take a lot of time to report it to the official superiors.
This kind of injury would deteriorate rapidly even if it was delayed for a few days. How could he wait for so long?”
Lu Xiao reached out and touched the Snowfield Tiger's ears, which had become a little warm due to inflammation and high body temperature. He said,"
"Actually, all of you know that with both of its eyes pierced, it wouldn't be able to live long in the wild with such injuries.
However, even though he had discovered it and brought it back, he could not save it.
The feeling of watching one's life slip away was even more heartbreaking.”
"Yes, in this place, the Snowfield Tiger is a symbol of holiness and is also an extremely endangered protected animal. How can I not feel heartache?”
Hong Mingcheng sniffed and choked.
"We've all worked hard, so don't blame yourself too much when faced with such a result.
But don't worry, I've brought enough anti-inflammatory and painkillers this time.
Although the chances are slim, I still want to remove the infected eyeball and try my best to treat it.
I'll check the other parts of its body as well. Help me lift it.”
"Alright."
Hong Mingcheng cheered up and nodded. Together with the other two young men, he helped Lu Xiao examine the Snowfield Tiger's body.
Since there was no equipment, he could only rely on his experience to perform trauma examination and compression examination.
When he touched the belly of the Snowfield Tiger, the feeling under his hand made Lu Xiao slightly stunned.
This was…?
Professor Lu, what's wrong?"
Seeing Lu Xiao stop, Hong Mingcheng asked worriedly.
"Although it's ridiculous, it shouldn't be wrong.”
Lu Xiao touched it a few times before he spoke. His expression was a little happy and complicated.
" I don't know if this is good news or bad news…
This female Snowfield Tiger was pregnant.”
