Chapter 304: Chapter 304: The Little One Got Depression
Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Fei and said, “Are you really the veterinarian my brother invited? Then why haven’t I seen my brother?”
Lin Fei was already certain that Xiao Xiao was Xiao Ling’s younger sister, not his older sister.
Lin Fei said, “I just had dinner with your brother. He drank too much and is sleeping in the sitting room upstairs. He told you were here.”
Xiao Xiao showed a hint of reproach on her face and said softly, “Why did my brother get drunk again?”
It was clear she cared a lot about her brother.
Obviously, Xiao Xiao believed Lin Fei was the veterinarian. She looked at Lin Fei and said, “My little dumpling has been feeling down for the past three days, looking lethargic and eating very little. Can you help check what’s wrong with it?”
Lin Fei sat down on a chair next to Xiao Xiao and said, “Let see your little dumpling.”
Xiao Xiao picked up the small white dog from her lap and placed it on Lin Fei’s lap.
Lin Fei looked at the small white dog. It was fluffy and very cute, but its two beautiful dark eyes appeared lethargic as if it were sick.
Although Lin Fei was now treating people, not animals.
Back on Kunlun Mountain, he had treated tigers, lions, leopards, and even giant pythons, so he wasn’t unfamiliar with treating animals, and he was quite experienced.
(Note: The Kunlun Mountain in this book should not be considered the Kunlun Mountain in western China; it’s just modeled after it, with many fictional elents. Those who nitpick or try to read between the lines, the author will not be held responsible.)
Lin Fei’s pupils contracted, and he imdiately used his vision to examine the dog’s body.
After a thorough examination, Lin Fei found that the dog had no issues, except for its stomach, which was slightly inflad due to eating too little in the past few days. Everything else was fine.
So, Lin Fei said to Xiao Xiao, “The dog doesn’t have any major issues, just so stomach problems. I’ll treat it.”
After saying that, Lin Fei gently placed his palm on the dog’s stomach and used True Qi to alleviate the slight inflammation.
In less than ten minutes, Lin Fei’s eyes once again scanned the dog and found that the stomach inflammation had disappeared, and the dog’s previously dull eyes seed to have regained so vitality.
There’s no need to explain; Lin Fei had just used True Qi to heal the dog’s stomach, making the little guy suddenly perk up.
Lin Fei said to Xiao Xiao, “Now try feeding it so dog food?”
Xiao Xiao noticed the little dumpling’s improved spirit and smiled beautifully, nodding at Lin Fei.
She then took a small bag of dog food from beside her, poured so into her hand, and held it in front of the little dumpling, gently stroking its fluffy, cute head as she softly said, “Little dumpling, eat so food quickly, or you’ll be hungry!”
Seeing Xiao Xiao patiently coaxing the little dumpling with such gentleness, Lin Fei felt his heart being ward by Xiao Xiao’s love.
As if not wanting to disappoint its owner, the little dumpling lowered its head, opened its mouth, and extended its pink little tongue to lick the dog food from Xiao Xiao’s palm.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao’s eyes sparkled with joy, her smile blossod as she glanced happily at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei smiled at her as well. If the little dumpling was willing to eat, it should recover in a few days.
But at this mont, Xiao Xiao’s smile suddenly vanished as she looked at the little dumpling with surprise.
Lin Fei noticed that the little dumpling had only used its tongue to lick a bit of dog food and then seed to stop eating.
Concerned, Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Fei and asked, “Doctor, why did the little dumpling suddenly stop eating?”
Lin Fei was puzzled too. The little dumpling apparently had no ailnts, and its stomach inflammation was gone, so logically it should have an appetite.
Lin Fei then thought of another issue, which was whether the little dumpling had a ntal problem.
After all, animals, like people, have emotions.
Previously, Lin Fei encountered so aggressive beasts, so of which had ntal breakdowns due to injuries or attacks on their cubs by other beasts.
In such cases, Lin Fei would hypnotize these aggressive beasts, letting them sleep for a few days, and their mood would stabilize.
But for a little dumpling being lethargic like this, hypnosis wouldn’t solve the issue.
Treating animals with ntal problems requires understanding the root cause of the issue.
Just like treating people, emotional problems need emotional redies.
Thus, Lin Fei asked Xiao Xiao, “Miss Xiao, can I ask when did the little dumpling start having these symptoms?”
Xiao Xiao said, “I already ntioned, it was three days ago.”
Lin Fei continued, “Did you go sowhere around that ti?”
Xiao Xiao thought carefully and said, “That day I took the little dumpling for a walk down the nearby pedestrian street.”
Lin Fei asked further, “After you took the little dumpling out, did anyone scold it, or did it encounter any aggressive pet dogs?”
Xiao Xiao imdiately shook her head, “Nobody scolded him. Oh, right, that day we happened to pass by a pet shop, and the little dumpling broke free and ran inside, playing with a small dog caged there for a while.”
Then I picked up the little dumpling and left. Other than that, nothing else happened.
The next day after returning ho, the little dumpling suddenly beca depressed and didn’t want to eat. I also took it to see a vet, but they said, just like you, that it had no problems.”
After listening to Xiao Xiao, Lin Fei’s eyes lit up as if he suddenly discovered the problem’s cause, saying, “Miss Xiao, I know why the little dumpling is feeling down and not eating.”
Xiao Xiao asked, “And what’s the reason?”
Lin Fei looked at Xiao Xiao and said, “The little dumpling is suffering from depression!”
Xiao Xiao was surprised, “Depression? The little dumpling has always been lively, how could it have depression?”
Lin Fei replied, “Take to the pet store you visited three days ago.”
Xiao Xiao was confused, not knowing why Lin Fei wanted her to take him to that pet store.
But she decided to trust Lin Fei once to cure the little dumpling.
Just as they were about to leave the pavilion, a maid arrived at the pavilion and said to Xiao Xiao, “Miss, Young Master Du is outside seeking an audience.”
Xiao Xiao was a bit surprised, “Du Wenqi!”
She furrowed her brows slightly and said to the maid, “Tell him I’m out and not at ho. If he asks when I’ll be back, just say you don’t know.”
The maid replied, “Yes, Miss.”
The maid left.
“Oh right, Doctor, I almost forgot to ask your na,” Xiao Xiao said, looking at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei said, “Just call Dr. Lin.”
“Oh, Dr. Lin, where’s your pet clinic located?” Xiao Xiao asked.
“In the suburbs, I suppose you don’t know it…” Lin Fei continued fabricating.
“Indeed, I’m not familiar with the suburbs,” Xiao Xiao replied.
They chatted as they walked, heading outside.
