Chapter 334 Feeding Medicine
Seeing this, Aunt Lian immediately took it back and said, "I'll hold it, and you teach me how to catch it."
"Is your dominant hand left or right?" Song Ying asked.
"Right hand."
Song Ying stretched out his hand and opened it: "Then use your right hand, like this, use the gap between your index finger and middle finger, and the gap between your little finger and ring finger to pinch the cat's two hind legs respectively, and then use your thumb to hold one of the front legs."
Aunt Lian put the kitten's legs one by one between her fingers, then grabbed one of its front legs with her thumb and found that the kitten's struggle was indeed much less intense, and except for its head, it could basically not move.
"This is a great idea." She couldn't help but praise it.
Song Ying pursed her lips, feeling a little heavy in her heart. This was the experience she gained from feeding medicine to Xuetuan that day.
"With my left hand I grabbed the flesh at the back of its neck."
Aunt Lian did as she was told, and now the cat couldn't even move its head.
Song Ying took a chair and sat opposite her, scooped a spoonful of medicine, stretched out his left hand, pinched both sides of the kitten's mouth and slightly lifted its chin.
Then, taking advantage of the gap in the kitten's open mouth, he put the spoon in and slowly poured the medicine in. Then he closed the cat's mouth and scratched its throat.
The cat swallowed it subconsciously, and only a small amount of the spoonful of medicine spilled out.
Next, I fed the cat one spoonful after another. Just when half a bowl of medicine was almost finished, the cat's head suddenly broke free, so the spoonful that was being fed was knocked over by the kitten's gums before it reached the right position.
Then, the bitter liquid covered its mouth and the kitten struggled frantically.
Song Ying quickly grabbed the kitten by the scruff of the neck and helped Aunt Lian stop it from moving around. "Aunt Lian, hold on tight. The more you worry about it, the more bitter the medicine will be when it spills into its mouth."
Aunt Lian also noticed that Song Ying's previous medicine was basically fed to the kitten's throat, so that the kitten would taste much less bitterness.
She grabbed the kitten by the scruff of its neck and said, "I know the reason, but it cried so pitifully that I couldn't bear it."
Song Ying couldn't help but sigh, and stretched his head to look at the medicine bowl on the table, "There's not much left, feed it all at once, and don't bother it anymore."
Aunt Lian nodded, stroked the cat's head, and said softly: "I know the medicine is bitter, but you are sick now, and you will get better quickly after taking the medicine. There is still a little left, so bear with it for a while."
I don't know whether the kitten really understood what Aunt Lian said, or Aunt Lian was ruthless and held the kitten tightly, but the remaining medicine was quickly fed to the kitten. Aunt Lian let the kitten go, and the kitten ran out and crawled under the bed.
Seeing this, Song Ying hurried out, saying as he walked, "I'll go out first, you observe its condition, and call me immediately if anything is wrong."
Although Aunt Lian wanted Song Ying to stay and observe the kitten, she was more afraid of scaring the kitten, so she agreed and said politely, "Please stay in the wing room over there. There is some charcoal in the corner next to the cabinet. Add more when it's burned. Don't let it get cold."
Song Ying didn't expect Aunt Lian to be such a considerate person. He nodded and went to the left wing.
A quarter of an hour later, Aunt Lian's panicked voice came from the other side, "Song Ying! Song Ying! Come here quickly! Maomao vomited again!"
Song Ying ran over and as soon as he entered the room he saw a pool of brown liquid on the floor, with a bit of sticky yellowish liquid.
Aunt Lian was in a state of panic, "Why would I vomit after taking the medicine?"
"Don't worry, it takes time for the medicine to take effect. It contains an antiemetic. As long as you absorb some of the medicine, you won't vomit so severely later, and the situation will get better and better." Song Ying brought out the words his master used to comfort Shen Wanyi that night to comfort Aunt Lian.
Aunt Lian pursed her lips, still looking worried, and looked at the kitten on the bed.
Song Ying also looked over and found that this time the kitten did not run away and hide when it saw her, and it did not look very well. Her heart sank. This situation looked worse than before.
In this situation, Song Ying didn't know whether he should feed the cat more medicine. What if the medicine had no effect on the cat's illness, or even had the opposite effect? Wouldn't it harm the kitten if he continued to feed it?
However, after Xuetuan was given medicine that night, his condition was obviously better.
Song Ying was a little puzzled, but then he remembered that this medicine had been confirmed by his master, so it should be fine.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Let it take a while, I'll heat up some more medicine and feed it some more."
Aunt Lian looked at the medicine spit out on the ground and felt that she should feed some more.
Soon, Song Ying heated up the medicine and fed it to the cat again with Aunt Lian. This time, the cat's struggle was weaker and the medicine was fed more smoothly, but Song Ying's heart was even heavier.
knock!knock!
There were two knocks on the door, and then Doctor Lin came in and asked, "How is it? Have you given the medicine?"
Song Ying felt like she had seen her savior. Never again did she look forward to her master's quick arrival.
She stood up and said, "I fed him, but he vomited a little after a quarter of an hour. Then we fed him again and he is asleep now."
Song Ying was a little nervous when she spoke about the latter part, worrying whether she had made the wrong decision. She turned her head and looked at the kitten: "After vomiting, its spirit became very bad, and it seemed that the situation was not good."
Because of her confident attitude, Aunt Lian was anxious but still had some confidence. When she heard what Song Ying said, she panicked, "Doctor Lin, is this situation going to get better?"
"Your cat was discovered in time and treated early. I hope it will be much bigger than Miss Seven's cat." Doctor Lin consoled her and then went to check on the kitten.
As usual, she checked the kitten's heartbeat and body temperature and said, "It's worse than before, but this is normal for an epidemic. Have you heard of human epidemics?"
Aunt Lian nodded. "The older generation said that someone in our village had it before?"
"Our village?" Although it was not a good idea to ask this at this time, Song Ying still couldn't help but be surprised. "Are you also from the mountain village?"
Aunt Lian pursed her lips tightly and said "hmm" after a while. It was obvious on her face that she didn't want to say more.
Song Ying did not continue to ask.
"Except for a few people with strong bodies who can recover quickly after contracting the disease, most people who are infected with the disease will develop from a mild condition to one that becomes increasingly serious. But as long as they can get through the worst part, they will get better and will never be infected with the disease again. The same is true for cats," explained Doctor Lin.
Although Aunt Lian had never been infected with the disease, she had heard about it from the older generation and knew a little about it. She knew that it was indeed the case, and her heart tightened. "So it is getting worse now?"
Doctor Lin nodded and said, "When it wakes up, feed it some broth. It won't do if it doesn't eat. It will lose energy."
