Chen Ying reported the difficulties and then called her ntor to help oversee the situation.
There is training related to tumor surgery in veterinary clinical dicine, but honestly, others don’t have Chen Ying’s resources. Without prior exposure, it’s challenging for them to operate on an endangered Small One-Horned Rhinoceros. Just the psychological pressure alone is not sothing an average person can bear.
Not only did Professor Bai co himself, but he also brought his previous team.
The current principal of this team is Chen Ying’s senior brother, who has inherited the teacher’s teachings and taken up the responsibility of the sect.
While her brother’s team and other veterinarians were discussing the case, Chen Ying thought about it and contacted Professor Everett, whom she hadn’t been in touch with for a long ti.
Although the professor’s clinical skills are more often applied to Big Cats, his connections in the international veterinary community allow him to easily reach experts specializing in rhinoceros-related research.
After sending over all the dical records of the female rhinoceros, within two hours, Professor Everett’s transoceanic call ca through.
"Chen, two things. First, this Small One-Horned Rhinoceros’s condition was once handled by an old friend of mine who has experience. I forwarded the data you sent to him, and I’ve sent you his email address, so you can contact him directly. Second, I’ve recently been invited to treat a group of caracals. It’s suspected to be a feline contagious disease, but many treatnts have been tried without success, and the situation is currently at a standstill. I also have a project here that doesn’t allow to spare any hands. I hope you can help , can you?"
It’s possible, but currently, he has these two matters to deal with: Golden Cat breeding and the female rhinoceros surgery. He worries that the professor won’t be able to wait until he finishes his ongoing work.
However, the professor said it’s no problem; he had already arranged for a team to go over. If Chen Ying agrees to join, these dical records will be sent directly to him, and he just needs to provide treatnt ideas, and it’s not necessary for him to physically go.
"That’s no problem, I’m honored to join your team again, Professor."
After chatting a bit about the issue of the tumor in the female rhinoceros’s abdon, Chen Ying hung up the transoceanic call and turned to check his email.
The professor’s friend had already sent an email, asking detailed questions about the female rhinoceros’s condition, with several small details that Chen Ying and the others had not noticed. These details might not affect the illness but could impact post-surgery treatnt and recovery progress.
The professor has been researching Small and One-Horned Rhinoceroses for almost thirty years, having handled nearly or more than a hundred rhinoceroses.
Upon learning that Chen Ying had contacted a big na in the industry, the leaders of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau instructed Yin Li to fully cooperate with the center’s dical team, reporting any needs directly, and they would be responsible for resolving them.
With the leaders’ full support, subsequent work was much easier to carry out.
As the primary person in charge, after all the examination results ca out, Chen Ying convened a team eting. In advance, he contacted that expert and even hired a translator specifically for the expert.
Developing the surgical plan took an entire day’s effort. The expert, being relatively older, couldn’t endure the entire eting but pointed out vital aspects in the morning and provided corresponding suggestions.
Dostic doctors don’t lack surgical skills; what they lack is relevant experience and treatnt ideas.
Chen Ying could manage, but his prestige is insufficient to dispel doubts and secure full cooperation from others.
With top experts from the industry stepping forward, coupled with Professor Bai’s endorsent, the surgical plan was finally settled.
Chen Ying did not disappoint those who trusted him, successfully removing the tumor from the female rhinoceros’s abdon after seven hours of surgery.
Related units specially invited two professional personnel from Java Island to guide subsequent care and raising work for the rhinoceros, especially how to feed the young rhinoceros during the mother’s illness, which requires expert advice and guidance.
The young rhinoceros has not yet been weaned; during this ti, it has mainly been surviving by occasionally drinking milk, not yet reaching the stage to eat other foods, and has already forced itself to eat grass.
Since its rescue, the young rhinoceros, beside the general formula milk powder for animal cubs, has added so plant-based supplental foods, barely managing to fill its belly.
After the arrival of the feeding experts, at least regarding food and daily care, the young rhinoceros received more appropriate and detailed care, feeling like paradise compared to the days in the wild.
While treating the female rhinoceros, the genetic lineage of the two rhinoceroses was also determined; they belong to the Javan Rhinoceros Indochinese subspecies.
However, what puzzled all the experts and scholars was where exactly did these two Javan Rhinoceroses co from, as despite the stringent and detailed forest surveys in the nation for over a decade, not the slightest clue was discovered!
So leaders even suspected whether the staff conducting surveys had a problematic work attitude.
Not just the leaders, even those involved in the two forest surveys back then doubted whether they missed sothing.
As a result, many provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureaus started planning to conduct grid surveys again, especially in areas that once had unique rare plants and animals but were later declared extinct in the wild, wishing to find their hidden treasures even if it ant digging three feet into the ground.
Every day after treating the female rhinoceros, Chen Ying would visit the young rhinoceros.
The little guy looks clumsy but is actually very clever. It seems to have rembered Chen Ying’s scent, getting excited and bouncing around its small courtyard as soon as it hears his footsteps and senses his presence.
In the courtyard, there is a mud bathing pool built specially for it. The young rhinoceros still doesn’t know how to use it properly; it’s all with the help of Chen Ying and the keeper that it gets to play there.
Its keeper even considered applying to introduce the rhinoceros’s companion animal, the Cow Starling, but unfortunately, experts say Cow Starlings can’t naturally survive in the country, suggesting relying on the keeper instead.
On this matter, Chen Ying thinks differently. From ancient tis to the present, rhinos have always existed in our country. It’s just that, in recent decades, the rapid economic developnt has severely compressed their habitats, and rhinos couldn’t hold out until the day the Wildlife Protection Law was implented, leading to regional extinction.
But since they’ve lived on this continent for thousands and tens of thousands of years, there must have been other companion animals similar to the African Cow Starling. It’s just that because rhinos are gone, no one knows what those companion animals are.
One day, when the young rhinoceros returns to the wild, its little companions will naturally appear.
Oh, regarding the young rhinoceros’s future, experts and leaders are still discussing it.
If the female rhinoceros manages to overco the difficulties, the possibility of relocation is relatively high. If not, the young rhinoceros might have to remain in the human world.
At less than three months old, its life has been extrely tough. Without the guidance of a parent beast, it’s impossible for it to survive independently in the wild, and having received care and feeding from humans, returning to the wild would be even more challenging.
Experts in Java even suggested sending the young rhinoceros over there, but getting there is easy, it’s the return that’s difficult!
In the midst of treatnt, Chen Ying made a trip back to Jiamu Gully.
The Golden Cats were in good condition, and to Chen Ying’s surprise, the Spoiled Cat had caught the attention of a young Golden Cat!
Lickers exist everywhere!
The young Golden Cat, having lived independently for just a year, particularly fell for the Spoiled Cat’s fragile deanor, constantly staying by its enclosure. Any creature trying to scare the cat of its affection would end up in its belly.
It especially pampered the Spoiled Cat, delivering various snacks and little treats, eventually winning the Spoiled Cat over with Mouse Bar, a local specialty from Huaqiu Valley!
When Chen Ying returned, the keeper in charge of the cat sister and the Spoiled Cat showed him the surveillance video.
In the footage, the Spoiled Cat ate Mouse Bars, with the young Golden Cat helping to peel and bite off the heads first, lest the Spoiled Cat got scared.
The Spoiled Cat ate while grumbling, and despite being annoyed, the young Golden Cat didn’t leave, squatting outside the enclosure, gazing affectionately at the Spoiled Cat.
Chen Ying couldn’t figure out why a wild cat would fancy this Spoiled Cat. With its temperant, would its offspring possess the ability to survive in the wild?
If the Spoiled Cat wasn’t soone else’s, Chen Ying would have wanted to grab the young Golden Cat by its neck and ask what exactly it saw in the Spoiled Cat.
