Chapter 292 -292: It’s Time to Show Off Your Miraculous Skill

“Claiming I wasn’t nervous would be a lie,”

The lioness was so large, and although lions are felines, they’re not exactly cats!

The female lion lay groaning and whimpering in the shade, her wound stubbornly refusing to heal and attracting a swarm of insects.

Her tail flicked occasionally, trying to drive away the bugs.

Chen Ying cautiously approached her, making a noise to alert the lioness.

The lioness turned to him, opening her mouth—a roar stuck in her throat and coming out as a “kongkong” sound.

Seeing the lioness trying to turn over and stand up, Chen Ying took another cautious step closer, offering the basin of meat.

The lioness sniffed it uninterestedly, trying to lie in a different position, but the pain in her forelimb left her agitated and unable to comply.

When Chen Ying saw that the lioness wasn’t as furious as he had imagined, he took the opportunity to move two steps closer, within reach to touch the tip of her paw.

He tentatively touched her a couple of times; the lioness didn’t avoid nor react, merely lying there as if waiting to die.

Chen Ying continued to move forward.

The experts watching him grew extremely anxious.

“Rawr!” called the lioness, rolling over, her belly facing up.

Chen Ying reached out to stroke her uninjured forelimb.

Her fur was very coarse, lacking the smoothness of a leopard’s or lynx’s.

After petting her for a while, the lioness tilted her head to look at him, placing her injured forelimb in the palm of his hand and letting out a low cry.

This was a good opportunity to check and clean the wound and apply medication.

To avoid alarming the lioness, Chen Ying let her sniff the medicine before washing her wound.

A sneeze almost knocked over the medicine bottle.

The lioness looked up at Chen Ying with an innocent expression on her face.

Unable to hold back, Chen Ying chuckled, then quickly regained his composure.

He had to be considerate of the onlookers’ feelings—better not to push them over the edge.

Some of the hair on the lioness’s leg was already shaved, the rotten flesh from the initial infected wound was cleaned, and medicine was applied.

The subsequent procedures were challenging, but he persevered in changing her dressing daily.

Chen Ying sat down, held her large paw to look at it, and carefully trimmed the messy fur on her leg using a small pair of scissors taken from the pouch on his waist.

He cleaned the dirt, rinsed away the old medicine powder, and went to the window to ask for the medications and bandages needed for dressing the wound.

“It doesn’t like things wrapped around it—it will bite at them, and tearing at the bandages could enlarge the wound,”

Professor Everett personally prepared the medicine, offering to assist him and reminding him of a series of “accidents” that had occurred during previous applications.

“No problem, she’s a gentle girl and will behave.”

He declined Professor Everett’s offer to assist, thinking it best to be safe during their first encounter.

Returning to the lioness’s side, she stuck out her tongue, attempting to lick her wound.

Chen Ying quickly grabbed her muzzle.

The lioness turned her head away sheepishly, sneakily giving Chen Ying a side-eye.

“My God, this is incredible. Does Mr. Chen possess some kind of magic?”

In the professors’ team, many doubted the efficacy of traditional veterinary medicine; they equated the use of herbs, tree bark, and animal internal organs, bones, and fur in treatment to local ancient medicine, finding it hard to evaluate.

Chen Ying could understand this skepticism; even his own countrymen doubted their traditional medicine, let alone foreigners.

Results would speak for themselves, so why all the fuss?

He cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it.

Chen Ying alone did the job that would otherwise require a team.

The lioness watched him peacefully.

To say she wasn’t agitated at all would be false—she tried several times to bite off the bandages, but Chen Ying tapped her head lightly each time to stop her.

Afterward, Chen Ying had his assistant bring out the items he had arranged to bring, starting to check the lion’s physical condition.

Having the rare opportunity to touch such a big cat, the conservation veterinarians couldn’t contain their excitement.

Data was recorded item by item; he even examined the lion’s gums and teeth and later performed some embarrassing inspections on her tail.

Watching him busily fill an entire sheet of paper, the research team and the Panthera staff were astounded.

“Do veterinarians in your country always examine lions like this?”

Impossible! Don’t talk nonsense! Rumors can kill!

Professor Pang’s face turned slightly green, but Ding Wen reacted much quicker.

“We rarely get the chance to handle large wild animals. But my junior is different—he’s strong in orthopedics and surgery, and many large zoos in our country have invited him for consultations.”

Even if it isn’t true, it has to be!

Just because there are no wild lions in the country doesn’t mean there are no lions in zoos.

Foreigners aren’t well versed in domestic matters, so Ding Wen’s words made them believe it.

Professor Pang glanced at Ding Wen but said nothing.

Regardless of domestic conflicts, when abroad, everyone represented the face of their country.

“Professor Careyes, I observe that this lioness doesn’t seem to show any symptoms of other illnesses. All her discomfort should come from external injuries. This is not my area of strength, so I may not be of much help.”

“Professor Pang mainly focuses on internal medicine, but my junior and I will see if we can help out with surgery,”

Ding Wen added with a smile.

Professor Careyes and his wife showed understanding.

There was definitely a shortage of manpower, otherwise, they would not be seeking experts who could offer assistance everywhere.

“Professor, you see…”

While they were talking, Chen Ying had the female lion lying on her back with her paws in the air, exposing her soft belly.

Watching his actions, he carefully touched the female lion’s abdomen and asked questions while she obediently let him check, occasionally offering a low grunt of agreement.

“Professor, it looks like the female lion hasn’t had an abdominal ultrasound. Can we do one now?”

The female lion complained her stomach was uncomfortable and it had been difficult to eat. Chen Ying saw that the blood test results seemed normal, but those results were from a week ago. Just to be safe, it was better to perform an abdominal ultrasound.

The equipment was naturally available.

The preparations that Chen Ying had made in advance were not needed.

After the examination, Professor Everett asked a student with a solemn expression, and the student explained in a low voice, looking a bit nervous.

Ding Wen, along with a tall and burly student, went in to help with palpable trepidation.

Others were clenching their fists, their hearts pounding like thunder.

“Don’t be nervous. If you’re scared, just step back a bit.”

Seeing the male student’s hands trembling slightly, Chen Ying gave him a gentle look and then turned back to cover the eyes of the female lion.

The big lion placed her paws together on the back of his hand, as docile as could be.

“Please, let me get used to this.”

The male student stood up, took two steps back, and after taking a couple of deep breaths, he moved forward again.

Although still scared, his hands were not shaking anymore, and his mind was much clearer.

“Right, just like that, gentler. Do you see? There seems to be something wrong here.”

“It seems to be inflammatory bowel disease caused by licking her wounds, and there are also slight issues with the gallbladder and liver.”

Ding Wen leaned in closer to the screen for a better look. “There’s no abdominal abscess. It’s not a big problem.”

The image was quickly passed on to the three professors, with Professor Pang feeling a bit embarrassed.

He had just said there were no internal diseases, but this was a direct contradiction to his claims.

“We’ve also done an abdominal ultrasound before, and blood tests didn’t reveal anything wrong. It’s probably complications from the persistent inflammation of the wound. It has a fierce temper and couldn’t be bandaged. Plus, with the hot weather…”

The two students responsible for the diet and observation of the illness trailed off, their voices fading.

After all, as difficult as the situation was, it was also a dereliction of their duty.

After examining the female lion, Chen Ying left the treatment of the enteritis and mild cholecystitis and hepatitis to others.

His primary work was to treat the bone injury of the female lion.

He had already made a preliminary judgment during the bandaging, and considering the earlier bone fragments, he determined that surgery was necessary but amputation was not. Furthermore, the surgery would not be very difficult.

Ding Wen and the male student left with the equipment, leaving Chen Ying to comfort the female lion.

In the sweltering heat, wearing protective gear was quite unbearable, so he led the female lion to a wooden shelter in the yard, where he sat on a stump and placed the feed bowl at his feet for her to quickly eat.

Halfway through the bowl of beef, Professor Everett gestured for Chen Ying to mix the prepared medication into the meat and feed it to her.

This lion was very clever; they had tried everything to medicate her, but one out of three attempts would fail.

She’d eat the meat, but spit out the medication.

Having received the medication, Chen Ying casually took a piece of meat, stuffed the medication inside, and then offered it to the female lion.

The female lion looked at him with pitiful eyes, but Chen Ying returned her gaze with an “iron heart”.

After a half-minute standoff, the female lion gave in, bit into the beef, and swallowed it successfully.

After the lion finished eating, Chen Ying cleaned her face, which was matted with dried blood.

The injury to her forelimb made it difficult for her to wash her own face.

Having eaten and rested, the female lion instinctively tried to bite the bandage wrapped around her forelimb, but Chen Ying patted her head again.

She growled unhappily, turned over, and began to gnaw on Chen Ying’s shoe, hugging his foot.

The medication took effect after half an hour.

The female lion fell into a deep sleep, allowing Chen Ying to leave.

“The wound isn’t serious. I’ve taken some photos for you to look at.”

Chen Ying displayed the photos on the computer, and the large screen clearly showed the current state of the wound.

Slightly swollen, with serous fluid oozing, but much better than they had expected.

“Its mood is unstable and it’s not eating much. That could be related to its enteritis. Later, I’ll assist in collecting a fecal sample for testing; we should find something.”

“As for its bone injury, I just tried feeling it. The bones shouldn’t be a major problem and can heal on their own. We just need to deal with the external injury.”

Chen Ying felt they were making a big deal out of a small issue. Any reliable orthopedist would not have jumped to a conclusion about amputation.

Originally, the poacher’s bullet hadn’t hit the leg bone directly but grazed past it, penetrating the big lion’s forelimb, resulting in a through and through injury and a fractured leg bone.

The cavity effect was not particularly pronounced in the big lion, which was fortunate for her.

After confirming that the bone injury would not lead to difficult healing and that Traditional Veterinary Medicine orthopedics had noticeable treatment efficacy, the professor and her team breathed a sigh of relief.

For the upcoming treatment, Chen Ying would fully cooperate with the professor’s team to ensure the big lion could return to the wild as soon as possible.
