Chapter 280
Zhang Zi An knows that although he has not raised a cocker spaniel, he has at least been in close contact with each other for a long time. They understand some of their habits and have feelings for them, not because they are small and want to be unconventional.
He opened the display case and took the only one of the cocker spaniels here.
This is a black, white and brown three-color American cocker spaniel with distinctive features. Some foreheads and cheeks are brown. The nose, nose, neck, neck and chest are white. The rest is black and the body is covered with long The hair, two long, large ears hang on both sides of the head. Pure brown cocker spaniel puppies are easily confused with Labrador puppies, but tricolor cocker spaniels are unique. It was very lively and active, and as soon as he left the showcase, he struggled to jump out of Zhang Zi An’s arms.
Zhang Zi An also had doubts at the beginning, worried that Meng was going to buy a British cocker spaniel, but listening to his description, the British family raised American cocker spaniels, the British cocker spaniel’s hair is relatively short, will not So frequently caught by thorns and grass.
He put it on the top of the display case, gently holding it to keep it running, so that Meng can be carefully observed.
“Is this American Cocker Spaniel right?” he confirmed.
“Yes, that’s it. How much?” Meng gave a positive reply, and he had to carry his wallet when he reached into his arms.
Zhang Zi An stopped him. “Wait a minute, I have to tell you something in advance – do you know why this dog is raised in China?”
Meng Li quickly replied: “Because the amount of exercise is very large, you need someone to accompany it – but it doesn’t matter, I will try to accompany it. Even if something happens, I can let the graduate student I bring with him.”
Zhang Zi An: “…” The graduate students of the Nima family who have worked hard to get it, are not meant to give you a dog.
He was glad that he did not agree with Wei Kang’s request. If he became a graduate student of Wei Kang, would he still have to shit all day?
“You said this is only a small aspect. Although the cockerel is a large amount of exercise, but other dogs are not small, this is not the main reason.” Zhang Zi An corrected and raised one of his ears, greeting Meng away: “Let’s smell it.”
When Meng was hesitating for a moment, he bent down and licked his nose to the roots of his ears.
“…Is there a smell?” He straightened his body and said with uncertainty.
“Yes.” Zhang Zi An puts down his ear. “Because its ears are always on both sides, the ear sockets are very moist, prone to odors and aphids, and need to be cleaned and disinfected frequently with special ear soaps – I It is often said that every two days or even once a day, this can persuade many people. When you were in the UK, didn’t you wash your ears with Julie?”
Meng frowned and thought back. “I have seen it a few times, but I don’t know if it is washed every day.”
He further explained: “I usually take Julie for a morning and a night walk. Bathing and shearing are all responsible for the family… but no problem, I can hand it over to graduate students for credits.”
Zhang Zi An said that you are a good graduate student of Zhen Nima, who is better than temporary workers! You will not be stimulated when you went to school that year, and then retaliate against the society after you come out?
“In addition to these, cocker spaniels have another serious potential pitfall,” Zhang Zi An said. “It is this dog that has a genetic defect.”
“Genetic defects?” Meng was serious after listening to it. After all, even a versatile graduate student could not solve this problem.
“Well, about the genetic defects of pets, it is more famous for folding ears. Many people know that the hind limbs of the fold cats are very easy to develop abnormally.” Zhang Zi An licked the head of the cocker, and it whispered and stretched. The tongue licks his wrist. “Cocker dogs also have genetic defects, their eyes – they are much more likely to have cataracts than other dogs.”
“The cataract…” Meng heard it and couldn’t tell what he was feeling – both worried and relieved. Cataracts are really not a serious disease compared to skeletal genetic diseases that cannot be cured by fold cats.
“Yes, it’s a cataract.” Zhang Zi An said affirmatively, “Many people can’t accept spending a penny to buy a pet to treat it, especially if it’s getting sick. In addition, the cataract is It is a minor operation for humans, but it is a major operation for dogs. The dog’s crystals are larger than people, and they are very sensitive, poor health, and the wounds are prone to inflammation and infection, eventually leading to blindness. If you are planning to buy a cocker spaniel, It is necessary to consider this possibility.”
“Oh.” Meng left his head and thought, not talking for a long time.
Zhang Zi An stroked the hair of the cocker spaniel and patiently waited for his decision. In fact, the possibility of cataract in cockerels is high, but it is far from the incidence of bone disease of almost 100%. It’s just that the fold is too cute, knowing that it may bring pain and torture to yourself, but there are still people who try to buy a gambling gambling luck. In contrast, dogs are not so lucky…
When Zhang Zi An saw the cocker spaniel at the pet house breeding base, he felt that Sun Yi-year was dizzy and how could he introduce such an unpopular dog.
Meng Li does not care about the money he cures. He is only worried about whether he can be cured and whether he will leave hidden dangers.
“Is it going to happen?” he asked.
“Not necessarily.” Zhang Zi An gave a suggestion, “This dog is currently four months old. If you are not at ease, you can wait another two months.”
“Why wait for two months?” Meng wanted to swear. “Is it suitable for cataract surgery in winter?”
“It’s not what it means,” Zhang Zi An explains. “Can a cockerchio get a cataract? It’s ok when it’s six months old. So if you don’t want to take risks, you can wait another two months to buy it. You will know if it is going to have surgery.”
Zhang Zi An can understand his hesitation, no one wants to buy a sick dog to go back, spend extra money, and add to his heart. Although cockerels have hidden dangers of cataracts, if they develop symptoms, they will show signs when they are six months old. An experienced veterinarian can easily diagnose the disease. I really want to buy a cocker spaniel and worry about the onset. I might as well buy a half-sized puppies for more than six months.
Zhang Zi An is so frank that Meng is deeply surprised and understands why Professor Wei Kang would strongly recommend it to buy here.
“If it hasn’t been bought, and it will be diagnosed with cataracts two months later, how do you deal with it?” Meng asked.
“Of course it is cured and sold again.” Zhang Zi An replied without hesitation, “Let the veterinarian of this clinic give me a discount. I was mentally prepared when I bought it from the pet breeding base. I also greeted the veterinarian here – who let the breeding base be opened by her family!”
