In fact, as long as cats don’t go out and don’t come into contact with other animals, even if they haven’t been vaccinated, the probability of suddenly getting the cat plague is very low. Although in theory, the cat plague virus can be stained on the soles of people’s shoes and brought into the house, people basically change into slippers as soon as they enter the house, and the outdoor shoes won’t have their soles facing up. Cats have all kinds of quirks, but cats that like to lick the soles of their shoes are still very rare, so this route of infection only exists in theory.

Bacterial gastroenteritis was far more common than cat plague because cats liked to lick things randomly. They licked their own fur, their buttocks, and after that, they licked their owners. It was normal for bacteria to enter their bodies. Bacteria were everywhere, but the virus was not everywhere.

It was the same for children. After grabbing the mud, they would grab something to eat. It would be strange if they didn’t have diarrhea. It wasn’t a viral infection, but a bacterial infection.

Zhang Zian added,”if your cat gets better tomorrow, you can stop taking these two drugs. Mix it with mommy’s love cream in its cat food. It’s very cheap. It’s a kind of beneficial fungus. Because Qing University kills bacteria in the intestine, including harmful and beneficial bacteria, it needs beneficial fungi to rebuild the intestinal ecosystem.”

“Eh? Alright, I’ll go buy some later!” The netizens were full of energy.

“By the way, don’t use the remaining medicine from yesterday today. Make some new ones.” Zhang Zian added,”especially the Qingda injection. It’s been almost 24 hours since I opened the bottle.”

“Manager, you must be joking. The medicine is so cheap. It only cost me 20 to 30 yuan for the two medicines. I always prescribe a new one every time I give it medicine.”

“No, you’ve misunderstood. The manager isn’t joking. He’s just that stingy!” The netizens complained.

“But it’s really too cheap. It only costs 20 to 30 yuan. I can keep the rest of the medicine for future use. If I go to a Pet Hospital, it’ll cost 200 to 300 yuan, right?”

“Two or three hundred? Are you looking down on pet hospitals? You just need to do a biochemical test and a blood test, and that’s five to six hundred Yuan!”

“Cry! Last time, my cat had diarrhea, so I hurriedly took it to the hospital. After the biochemical test and blood test were done, they said that it had digestion problems if it ate too much. In the end, they spent 68 yuan on a box of microbial bacteria. I said that I was a student and had no money, so they asked me for 500 yuan in total, and that was on discount … A box of “mommy’s love “in the pharmacy only cost a dozen Yuan. It’s really a scam!”

The netizens complained about how shady the pet Hospital was with their own experience. This was not the netizens being harsh, it was a fact that the treatment for pets was expensive.

Take medicine as an example. Human medicine was purchased from medical insurance. The country had a series of measures to control the price of medicine such as bidding, limit limits, subsidies, and so on. However, pet medicine was set by the manufacturer. Some medicines were actually not much different from human medicine in terms of composition. If they were given the name of pet-specific medicine, the price could be several times higher. If it was a medicine from a Pet Hospital, the price might be doubled. This was because when a pet suddenly had a disease, it was too late to purchase it online.

Although many pet owners couldn’t stand it, as long as it existed, it was reasonable. Keeping pets had always been regarded as something that only people with money and leisure time could do. Besides, this was also true in most cases. People who couldn’t even afford to keep pets themselves would not be in the mood to keep pets. If the pet’s medical expenses were so expensive that people couldn’t afford to see a doctor, they would naturally reduce the price. This was how the market economy worked.

As for the mandatory insurance for pets in the form of legislation, it was still relatively distant for a big country with complicated national conditions like China.

As an individual, he had to know some common knowledge about pet medicine. He had medicine at home, when his pet was sick, he had to stay calm, and when necessary, he had to send his pet to the hospital. That was already a very qualified owner.

“By the way, I’d like to ask again. My finger was bitten by it when I was feeding it the medicine, and it’s bleeding. Do I need to go to the epidemic prevention station for a vaccine or something?” The netizen was happy but also worried.

“If your cat hasn’t been out of the house recently and hasn’t come into contact with other animals, you don’t need to get a rabies vaccine. However, if the wound is deep, you may need an tetanus vaccine.” Zhang Zian said.

The abuse of rabies vaccine in China was more serious. The rabies virus did not naturally exist in cats, and even if a cat carried the rabies virus, it was not infectious when it was not infected. The rabies virus could not lurk in the cat’s body for a long time, so for domestic cats that did not leave the house and had not come into contact with mice, bats, dogs, and other animals, there was no need to get a rabies vaccine for any reason that they bit their owners.

The people at the health and epidemic prevention Center would not tell you these things. As long as you said that you were scratched and bitten by a cat, they would let you get a vaccine regardless of the consequences. They might even let you get the more expensive rabies protein. After all, it could generate income.

However, if it was bitten by a dog at home, because the dog needed to go out for a walk, and you couldn’t be 100% sure whether the dog had been bitten by a mouse or other dogs when you went out for a walk. Sometimes, the bite was in hidden places such as the toes or inner ears, which couldn’t be seen from the outside. So, to be careful, it was better to get a vaccine, and then observe the dog for ten days to see if it would die before deciding whether to get a second vaccine.

As for being bitten and scratched by stray cats and dogs, it was better to get a vaccine. The dog’s life was more important.

The netizens ‘topic shifted from being ripped off at the pet Hospital to the experience of being bitten by cats and dogs and getting a vaccine. In short, whether it was treating a pet or getting a vaccine for a bite or scratch, the word “expensive” and “poor” were highlighted, and finally summed up as the word “miserable” in capital.

[Determined to get to shore]:[i rolled in here when I saw it!] When I first brought my lan lan home, because she was too cute, I tried to feed her with my hands on the first night, but it bit my hand while eating … At that time, I didn’t know manager Richard well, so I hesitated for a day before I went to get a vaccine … Now that I think about it, how many cans of food could I buy for lan lan with the money from the vaccine!”

[Time is like a poem and a song]: Qi Qi, you’re here too!”

[Determined to get ashore]: Watching Shen Lun gives me a headache~I’ll secretly fish for a while!”

When the netizens ‘topic came to an end, and the netizen got a satisfactory answer, another netizen entered the live broadcast room after the bullet screen was washed up.

“Hello everyone, manager, I’m here to clock in.”

Everyone immediately recognized that this was the netizen who had the evil cat at home. Many people came every day just to watch the TV series, and they immediately became alert.

“Welcome,” Zhang Zian said.”How’s your cat?”

“It came out from under the sofa today, but … It didn’t seem like it was going to give in. It snatched the cat food from my hands. If the store manager didn’t remind me to wear gloves, I might have been in the hospital now …”
