Chapter 124: Chapter 94: Iron Crutch Deadly Poisonous Bull, Reputation Value Soaring, Red Tag Little Boy!
Time quickly reached five minutes.
The scene of taking the cow’s temperature just now also attracted quite a few viewers.
It has to be said, this batch of viewers really likes the bizarre.
They specifically choose outrageous scenes to enter the livestream.
"How is it, Dr. Xiao Zhang, what’s the matter with this cow? It was fine this morning, I don’t know why it suddenly turned out like this, otherwise I wouldn’t have missed it."
The thermometer was taken out, displaying 42°C.
The cow had stopped shivering from cold, but its breathing suddenly became rapid.
It was in a very abnormal state.
"A sick cow at a glance!"
"Dr. Zhang is awesome!!"
"It’s actually 42°C, that’s considered a high fever!"
"For both cows and humans, it’s really a high fever, just not sure what disease could be so sudden."
Temperature close-up 42 degrees.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Zhang Lingchuan.
Each person speculated what the illness could be.
After all, Boss Fei didn’t even know this morning.
"Boss Fei, after a preliminary diagnosis, the situation doesn’t look very optimistic, this cow should have come down with Three-Day Fever."
Zhang Lingchuan said in a deep voice.
Three-Day Fever is also called transient fever.
It is an acute febrile infectious disease caused by the bovine ephemeral fever virus.
This disease progresses rapidly, but is mostly benign. It primarily affects cattle, with little to no impact on humans.
Cows with the disease experience sudden high fever and rapid breathing, tearing, drooling, runny nose, and limping caused by limb joint pain, and have been misdiagnosed as influenza in the past.
And because it generally subsides in three days.
It’s called Three-Day Fever.
But still, some cows can’t withstand those three days.
To be exact, this disease has signs.
It might have been during the incubation period, so Boss Fei didn’t notice it.
"Ah! Three-Day Fever!!!"
Boss Fei’s body trembled.
Secretly thought to himself that this was trouble.
This disease can cause an outbreak in the whole herd.
People here commonly call it Little Cattle Plague!
Although it’s not as severe as cattle plague.
Once it infects, a cattle farm of his size could basically lose a few cows, losses starting around thirty to fifty thousand, potentially even reaching hundreds of thousands.
"Yes, you see it initially had tears, then shivering, and now its temperature has suddenly risen over 40°C, rapid breathing, its conjunctiva is also starting to congest, later stages involve limping, and in late stages, pulmonary edema and asphyxiation are possible."
Zhang Lingchuan combined a system scan and his own veterinary knowledge, making such a judgment isn’t really difficult.
"Little Beast Doctor: It’s indeed like Three-Day Fever, being able to spot it from the vast sea of cattle, he’s truly a man even Master Extinction is interested in."
"Bai Wei in dreams: Huh? Master Extinction is actually interested in Dr. Zhang??"
"A cattle rancher: Heavens, how terrifying, how do you prevent this disease?"
"Veterinary station Xiaogang: Almost no way to prevent it, just recently we had a similar outbreak here, it’s more common in the summer, generally isolating, disinfecting the site, and symptomatic medication greatly reduces the mortality rate, I suggest Boss Fei invite Dr. Zhang quickly to screen the herd, see if any other cattle are infected."
After Zhang Lingchuan mentioned Three-Day Fever.
Veterinary colleagues in the livestream quickly nodded in agreement.
After all, as veterinarians,
diagnosing diseases is fundamental.
"Not bad, quite an accurate judgment."
Unknown to Zhang Lingchuan, his mentor Shen Changming was also watching the livestream.
He just found it slightly dull.
After all, today’s livestream wasn’t particularly impressive, diagnosing early-stage Three-Day Fever was just passable.
On-site.
"Heavens! Limping! Dr. Xiao Zhang, that yellow cow over there isn’t the same, right? I thought it had a fracture!!"
He had heard of Three-Day Fever, but hadn’t experienced it much.
Didn’t expect it to reach him this time.
Upon hearing that infection with this disease could lead to limping, he instantly thought of the cow previously led over, intended for surgery with Dr. Xiao Zhang.
It had a lame leg.
Thinking of this.
Boss Fei’s face turned pale.
This thing, once one is sick and becomes the infection source, subsequent sickness spreads quickly.
Could it be that his herd has already been widely infected, given this is already the second cow.
"That one shouldn’t be."
Zhang Lingchuan checked himself and found that it didn’t show symptoms of Three-Day Fever.
"That’s good, that’s good then, Dr. Zhang, what should I do next? Should I isolate this cow and disinfect the pen? Or should we continue inspecting to see if there’s any other infected cattle?"
Hearing Zhang Lingchuan’s words, Boss Fei let out a sigh of relief.
He almost thought the Three-Day Fever had already spread before he realized.
Mainly because this was his first time encountering such a thing and his experience was somewhat lacking.
"Currently, it looks like only this one, Boss Fei, immediately isolate this cow, and strictly seal and disinfect the middle part of the barn where it lives, focus on eliminating mosquitoes and flies that are bloodsucking insects, this effectively controls the outbreak."
Zhang Lingchuan suggested the solution.
There is currently no specific drug for Three-Day Fever, just disinfection work to prevent its spread.
Then wait for three days.
See if there are any other infected cattle.
If there aren’t.
Then it means it has been smoothly contained.
"What about this cow..."
Boss Fei looked at Zhang Lingchuan.
Wanting to know what should be done.
"Move it to the isolation area, I’ll bring down its fever, if any livestock owner in the livestream encounters Three-Day Fever, they can respond this way, at present, there’s no specific medicine for this disease, you can only isolate and then treat symptomatically. For example, now this cow has a high fever, we can use compound aminopyrine injection 40-50 milliliters, or antipyretic and analgesic injection 50-60 milliliters, injected intramuscularly once, twice a day."
