Chapter 48: Smooth Delivery, Twelve Puppies
Fortunately, Su Ran reacted quickly and pulled his finger back in time, otherwise there would have been blood today.
Looking at the ferocious snow ferret mother, Su Ran realized that he was too impatient just now.
Animals all have their own habits.
Having mastered veterinary expertise, Su Ran also had an explanation of the habits of ferrets in his mind.
This animal is nocturnal and sleeps almost all day long, coming out to look for food at night.
And they are gentle in nature.
The reason for the sudden attack is mainly due to the alertness to the outside world during pregnancy.
Su Ran took out a bag of vacuum-cooked chicken from his backpack, tore the chicken into strips and threw them in front of the ferret.
The taste of the food relaxed his tense nerves a little, and Su Ran made his movements lighter.
"Don't be afraid little one, I'm here to help you."
Su Ran wasn't sure if this guy could understand him. Perhaps it was because he was familiar with Su Ran's scent, or perhaps it was because the big black guy with a carnivorous scent had retreated to a distance.
When Su Ran put his hand on the ferret's head again, the little guy finally stopped being angry.
Instead, it seemed as if she had finally found a ray of reliability, and the mother ferret let out an even more compassionate cry.
Its mouth kept opening and closing, barking, and its head was pressing hard towards Su Ran's hand.
This may be the hope that Su Ran can help it.
All things have spirits, even the smallest creatures have a trace of spiritual energy.
Those who originally thought that Su Ran was too reckless now seemed to understand his strength.
Deng Jiaying, also a researcher at the Provincial Institute of Animals, told Li Huaian: "Although this ranger looks young, he is indeed very capable. If you don't have long-term contact with animals and are not familiar with their habits, it will be difficult to gain the trust of animals in the wild."
It was the first time that Li Huaian saw praise from outsiders from this colleague who was more than 20 years younger than him: "Is he better than you, a doctor of zoology?"
Deng Jiaying admitted that she could not compare to Su Ran, and said seriously: "Director Li, you are joking. The knowledge learned from textbooks may let me know how to deal with these wild animals, but it is very different when it comes to actual practice."
"Because animals are not machines, sometimes compared to professional knowledge, personal affinity cannot be learned from textbooks. This anchor not only has strong professional knowledge, but also has a natural affinity for animals."
Li Huaian was quite surprised, but it all seemed reasonable.
The boy who walks with wolves, not everyone can do this.
"If it were you, Director Li, would you be sure you could calm the ferret?" Deng Jiaying suddenly asked.
Li Huaian was speechless. He seemed to understand the gap between them, a group of professionals, and Su Ran: "No."
It is common for animals to have difficult births. Su Ran has seen his grandfather deliver a cow.
Just take it out.
But this certainly cannot be done with ferrets.
Otherwise, people often say that we are bragging.
How big is the cowhide, and how small is the ferret?
The male mink is 33-40 cm long, with a tail length of 7.5-11 cm, and the body and tail length is about 50 cm. They weigh very lightly, between 1.3-2.7 kg, with an average of 1.5 kg. Female minks are much smaller than male minks.
Smaller than a cat.
It is definitely not realistic to just put it in and take it out with your hands.
So Su Ran had to use her hands to massage the ferret's belly to help the fetus be delivered smoothly.
This requires technique.
After hearing Su Ran say that he would use his hands to massage the ferret's belly to aid in the birth, netizens worried whether this might be a bit difficult.
"Brother Su, is this really okay?"
"Never mind whether it's possible or not. Let's just give it a try. The situation is so complicated right now that this is the only solution."
What netizens said is right. Although it is the first time for Su Ran to try to help animals give birth through massage, this is the only solution at the moment.
Either do nothing and wait for the ferret to die, or try your luck.
He blew into his hands, rubbed his palms together to warm them up, and then placed them on the ferret's belly.
After the initial familiarization, the snow ferret mother no longer rejected it when Su Ran put his hand on the bulging belly.
This trust made Su Ran couldn't help but smile. Taking such a close shot of the ferret made this "cute animal" even more lovable to netizens.
Some people even gave gifts worth tens of thousands in the live broadcast room.
"Host, if you can help the ferret successfully deliver its baby, I will reward you with two more rockets!"
Su Ran's palm began to gently push the ferret's belly.
Through a thin layer of belly skin, Su Ran could vaguely feel the little ferret inside.
The pushing technique became gentler, and the mother ferret looked very happy, and it was obvious that her pain was reduced a little.
Netizens called it magical.
The next moment, the mother snow ferret turned her head again. Netizens originally thought that the mother snow ferret was anxious again.
Unexpectedly, it simply sniffed and licked Su Ran's hand.
"Maybe the mother ferret felt itchy when being touched." Su Ran couldn't help laughing.
The ferret cooperated very well and allowed it to rub its belly. Even if it felt a little painful occasionally, it would endure it.
It seemed as if it knew that Su Ran was helping it deliver a baby.
"Anchor, have you seen anything?" Deng Jiaying, a doctor of veterinary medicine, couldn't help but ask about Su Ran's current condition of the ferret.
After a while of examination, Su Ran found out the problem of the ferret's difficult birth: "The situation is neither good nor bad. The main reason for the difficult birth is that the fetus is in an abnormal position in the abdomen, which is why the little ferret has not been able to be born."
If animals in the wild have difficulty giving birth without the help of external factors, the only outcome is almost certain death.
However, malposition of the fetus is relatively rare in ferrets.
The main reason for this is that there are too many fetuses in the ferret's belly, its birth canal is narrow, and its uterine contractions are not normal.
It was obviously caused by excessive tension.
So the first thing Su Ran had to do was to give the ferret a full body massage to help it relax as much as possible.
Then we help it to turn the fetus right.
"Host, can you really do this? In our hospital, only experienced obstetricians and gynecologists who have worked for decades can turn a fetus with bare hands. It's all about practice makes perfect."
"I believe Brother Su knows a little about veterinary medicine, but he shouldn't know this much, right?"
"Do you know what a billion dots mean?"
It was indeed Su Ran’s first time, but the ideas in his mind were very clear and there wouldn’t be any major problems.
I saw it gently place its hands on the ferret's belly, and then slowly rotate clockwise on its round belly.
During this period, the mother ferret did not show any distressed expression.
This shows that Su Ran's technique was very professional and didn't make it feel any pain.
Deng Jiaying looked at him with admiration and also gave Li Huaian a look of approval.
Thanks to Su Ran's unremitting efforts, the mother ferret's tail made a puffing sound.
It seems like air is being expelled from the body.
Along with the sound came a slimy little ferret.
The fur of a newborn mink baby has not fully grown yet, and it is still in a chubby state, about the size of a finger.
Keep crawling on the ground.
Seeing this, Su Ran took off the sweater he was wearing and put it under the ferret.
Then another little ferret slid out from behind the tail.
Countless barrages floated in from the right.
"Wow, why is it so small? It looks so small, Honghong."
"I feel like a baby mouse."
"Come on, this is much cuter than a baby mouse."
"Wait a minute, is it going to give birth again?"
