Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Little TV Monkey Raising Diary (Extra)
“Hoo-ah, hoo-hoo!”
The little ape was restrained, unable to move; it struggled feebly and even its cries were weak, sounding especially pitiful.
Chen Ying dragged over a stool and sat down next to the bed.
He slowly grood the little ape, making funny noises to amuse it.
Primates seem to enjoy grooming each other, picking off lice.
The little ape, originally a bit agitated, gradually cald down under Chen Ying’s gentle treatnt.
Its eyes stayed fixed on Chen Ying’s face, occasionally glancing around.
After about twenty minutes or so, the little ape yawned, wanting to sleep but reluctant to leave Chen Ying, fighting against the drowsiness.
Chen Ying extended his hand and covered the little ape’s face.
“Be good, go to sleep if you want. I’ll stay here with you.”
When he said he’d stay, he ant it. Chen Ying sat beside the little ape’s sickbed with his phone, checking information while observing the ape’s condition.
“Teacher, those two dicine formulas I sent you, has the one to enhance immunity been approved?”
Professor Bai thought for a second, pulled out the company folder, glanced at it, and opened one of the docunts scrolling to the end.
“It’s been approved for extensive clinical trials.”
Extensive clinical trials, formally known as Phase IV clinical trials, are application research stages independently conducted by the applicant after a new drug is on the market. It’s a very important part in the entire clinical trial process.
Entering this stage, the new drug is actually already in use.
Professor Bai knew his proud disciple wouldn’t call about the drug for no reason. Since he asked, there must be a need.
Indeed, upon knowing the drug was on the market, Chen Ying wanted to ask his teacher to send him so.
He took photos of the little ape’s dical records, along with his surgical thinking and treatnt process, and sent it all to his teacher.
Afterwards, the master and student discussed what improvents could be made to the surgery and what kind of dical equipnt would be better for the procedure.
Interns who occasionally ca by to check on the situation, as well as the veterinarians monitoring from the observation room, almost wanted to drag over a stool to listen to the lesson.
The more cunning ones went to the Protection Station superintendent and the dical team leader, asking if Mr. Chen could give them a lesson.
The station superintendent wasn’t too familiar with such things, but the dical team leader had thought about it long before, just refraining from suggesting it so as not to offend his subordinate veterinarians.
Now that they brought it up themselves, it was certainly worth a try.
Chen Ying stayed with the little ape until noon, grooming it, and said he was going to see Ape Brother and would co back later to keep it company.
The little ape seed a little unhappy, but let him go regardless.
As soon as Chen Ying stepped out of the observation room, he started to run; sure enough, when he arrived at the Animal Shed, the young ape was once again engaged in a tug-of-war with an intern.
This ti, with a sharp eye, the young ape imdiately dropped down and clung to the iron bars, wailing at Chen Ying and complaining about the chubby-faced intern.
“Did he give you a bad fruit?”
Chen Ying was sowhat amused, he opened the iron door and went inside. Beneath the suspension bar, he found a fig that had been bitten into. Upon inspection, the inside wasn’t very fresh.
“It wasn’t on purpose. With so many fruits, he didn’t know this one was bad.”
The two interns stared, dumbfounded, watching him communicate seamlessly with the young ape, not even noticing as Chen took the food basket from their hands.
“Here, I’ll make it up to you. One bad one, I’ll give you three in return. Is that enough?”
The gibbon grabbed the fruits and then pointed outside.
“You want to go outside to eat? Alright, then co with .”
Back to the sa spot as yesterday, Chen explained quickly and quietly to the two interns.
“Did you see how it’s gripping? It’s much better than yesterday, which shows the treatnt is working. And its climbing movents aren’t as sluggish as before. Just three or four days of treatnt and it’s already relieving so of its pain, which ans the treatnt is correct and we can continue.”
The interns nodded vigorously, frantically recalling the big boss’s treatnt process from yesterday.
“Mr. Chen, its injuries haven’t healed, but we’re letting it move about like this. Could that affect its future life?”
“Moving too early definitely has an impact. But apes are not humans, expecting them to be as calm and obedient is impossible. It’s like with human children, without parental control, they wouldn’t have such strong self-discipline either. But this doesn’t an their bone injuries won’t heal, it might just be slower, or even cause so complications.”
“What we need to do is to speed up their recovery as much as possible and control the intensity of their activities within the largest scope possible.”
Like this gibbon, it’s young and active, you can’t expect it to sit around all day like an old monkey, don’t even think about it.
After watching for a while, not seeing Chen climb up, the young ape stood up and reached out to him, as if thinking Chen couldn’t make it up and wanted to lend a hand.
Chen had the interns hold the fruit basket while he quickly climbed up, then took the basket over and started to feed the young ape.
Another intern, tall and slender, watched for a while and asked Chen if he could go up and learn to feed the young ape.
“I’ve got another little cub to take care of, is it okay if he feeds you?”
Chen Ying did not agree in haste, first communicating with the young Ape, and only after it hesitated and nodded did she let the intern climb the tree.
She did not just walk away.
The two humans and one Ape sat on the tree branch, Chen Ying feeding and instructing the intern on what it liked to eat, the order of feeding, and how it should not be allowed to be picky.
The young Ape’s dicine was concealed in a fig.
“The best way is to break it open so that it’s just the right size for it to swallow in one bite. This dicine doesn’t have any taste, so as long as it’s not bitter, it won’t spit it out.”
While saying this, Chen Ying skillfully tore open a fig and deftly slipped in a mung bean-sized pill.
Sure enough, the young Ape took it and stuffed it into its mouth, smacking its lips and swallowing it down.
Chen Ying handed the leftover half with the dicine to the intern for him to try feeding as well.
The intern mustered up the courage to hand the enhanced fig to the young Ape, which looked at him and then stuffed it into its mouth without any objection.
After finishing a basket of fruit, tender leaves, and flower buds, Chen Ying had the intern comb the young Ape’s fur and play a ga of picking off lice, then he jumped down from the tree to rush to take care of the Little Cub.
Even eating was done hurriedly, snatching a few bites when he could.
Upon entering the observation room, he saw the doctor responsible for caring for the Little Ape whimpering quietly, wanting to struggle due to pain and feeling so wronged that it wanted to cry.
When Chen Ying entered, he brought with him the freshest flower buds and sweetest figs.
Ideally, the Little Ape couldn’t eat yet, so Chen Ying used a stainless steel bowl and pestle from the canteen, pounded out the juice of the flower buds, and offered it a little with a teaspoon.
The figs were treated the sa, cutting the sweetest part into very tiny pieces to let it savor the sweetness in its mouth.
Such small amounts would not burden its stomach at all.
With Chen Ying’s presence, the Little Ape quieted down.
He loosened the bindings on its upper limbs but did not dare release the legs. They would have to wait another two or three days to ensure the wounds would not reopen.
Appropriate massage helped alleviate the muscle soreness and also diverted its attention from scratching the wound.
The Little Cub, weak, clung to Chen Ying’s fingers and would not let go.
It clung like that for three hours. Chen Ying did not show the slightest impatience.
When it was ti to deal with work, he would set up the tablet to play cartoons for the Little Ape to watch.
They were jungle stories he had collected, the kind that previous baby monkeys liked.
As expected, the preferences of the cubs were consistent. The Little Ape was also captivated by the video content.
Outside the window, soone asked quietly if this might result in a TV-addicted Baby Ape.
“You’re overthinking it. Once the Baby Ape recovers, it will have to go back to life in the wild, where there’s no TV for it to watch.”
The videos Chen Ying played for it were also of other animals, including docuntaries featuring different-colored apes and monkeys.
The Little Ape couldn’t understand the narration but could feel the rhythm of the music and understand so of the content of the images.
Professor Bai and other research experts had discussed and improved the subsequent treatnt plan for the Little Ape.
Chen Ying received the new plan, compared it with his own, asked questions about the differences, and added his personal views.
Back and forth with emails, and the entire afternoon was gone.
By dinner ti, the latest treatnt plan was finalized. Chen Ying, carrying this newest plan, went to see the head of the dical team, hoping to change the Little Ape’s future treatnt plan.
“No problem, I’ll have soone enter it into the system. By the way, Mr. Chen, if it’s convenient, could you give us a lecture using this treatnt as a case study?”
Chen Ying thought about it and agreed to give the lecture; he also wanted to use the opportunity to spread the word about the advantages of Traditional Veterinary dicine in treating orthopedic bone injuries.
He had already spoken to students from the Agricultural University’s veterinary program in the afternoon. Now, most of them had Traditional Veterinary dicine courses, but the progress was slow.
The reasons were complex, and Chen Ying found it inconvenient to comnt, so he did his best to promote it.
Even having more veterinarians skilled in acupuncture would be a good thing for animals.
In reality, bone injuries in animals are a bit more complicated than in humans.
After all, humans can communicate, but with animals, you have to rely on your own experience or purely on technology.
The lecture was scheduled directly after dinner and before bedti.
And it was decided to be held right in the Little Ape’s ward.
Interns who were off duty were welco to listen, and no Veterinarians missed out.
After speaking for over two hours, he finished discussing all the cases involved in the rescue.
Most were cases the veterinarians had dealt with, so the material was easily absorbed, and the questions and answers were directly relevant.
After the talk, Chen Ying felt genuinely exhausted.
He checked on the Little Ape again, resecured its limbs, told the three doctors on duty so precautions, and then returned to his dorm, took a quick shower, and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
In the middle of the night, Chen Ying was abruptly awoken by a high-pitched scream from outside.
Cradling his throbbing head, he sat up, and before he could turn on the light, his phone rang.
