"All life deserves respect", Dr. Yuan, you and your little friend are really good

"The eye of this spotted partridge seems to be injured, please see if you can be cured." Recently, Shi Jianqing, president of the Municipal Wildlife Conservation Association, brought a newly rescued owl to an animal hospital in the city to consult with doctors. The doctor carefully examined the bird's physical condition, judged that the owl may have glaucoma, and said that he would consult the veterinarian in Ningbo to try to cure it.

This animal hospital is called Barbie Hall Loving Animal Hospital. President Shi introduced that since the establishment of the association in 2018, there are often injured wild animals that need to be treated, and sometimes they have to be operated on, this love animal hospital does not charge any fee for each treatment, and has treated more than 10 wild animals, basically some different species of birds, including many national first- and second-level protected animals.

Speaking of the treatment of wild animals, the hospital's "chief surgeon" Yuan Xingjie said that the protection of wild animals is the consistent tradition of their hospital, many years ago has cooperated with the forest police to treat the wild animals sent, and then Cixi has a wildlife protection association, they continue this "tradition" and cooperate with it. He said that saving lives and protecting wild animals is their duty.

What's so special about rescuing birds? Dr. Yuan said that the general bird injuries sent over are more serious, most of them have to be operated on, and the bird surgery is different from pets such as cats and dogs, their tissue structure is very different, such as the skin of the birds is very thin, easy to tear, the bones are also particularly fine, the amount of anesthetics is not easy to grasp, once the bird wing fracture is serious, it is often difficult to treat, can only fold the wings to save their lives, which is also a helpless move.

In Dr. Yuan's impression, the wild animals treated include black-billed gulls, crested eagles, spotted plovers, ospreys, red-horned owls, ox-backed herons, etc., some with broken wings, some with injured feet, and some with dislocations or large skin tears. Dr. Yuan said that the cracked wound needs to be sutured, the operation must be careful, the joint dislocation should be reduced, the broken foot fracture should be externally fixed, it can be said that different situations need to do different surgery, but each time is dedicated to rescue wild animals.

"We have calculated an account, and the cost of treatment costs and other expenses generated in recent years is estimated to have reached 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, but this loving animal hospital has not charged any fees, and I am really grateful to them." Speaking of Barbie Hall Love Animal Hospital, President Shi is full of gratitude. Just some time ago, the hospital also rescued a national first-class protected animal black-billed gull, the injured black-billed gull needs to operate immediately, the doctors did not say a word and worked for more than an hour, and finally healed it, calculating the cost of three or four thousand yuan, but they still did not charge anything.

"In recent years, this hospital has been quite skilled in the treatment of wild birds, and the judgment is very accurate, so there are relevant injured birds that need consultation, and they are all questioned." President Shi praised that in more than a dozen treatments, Dr. Yuan and his colleagues have participated in the whole process, accumulated rich experience, and filled the gap in the treatment of birds in our city to a certain extent.

It is understood that in addition to free treatment for birds, this animal hospital also often treats stray injured and sick cats and dogs. Dr. Yuan said that from time to time, people will put injured animals in front of their shops, and doctors will not hesitate to treat them, and then take them in and raise them until they encounter well-wishers to take them away; in addition, the citizens pick up injured pigeons, doves, etc., and the hospital has also carried out free treatment. "It's nothing. In our minds, all living beings are equal, all lives deserve respect, and the treatment of wild animals or stray cats and dogs is actually contributing to the cause of wild conservation. ”

"I really like Dr. Yuan and his friends. I believe that it is precisely because of the participation and support of these enthusiastic people that the cause of wild protection will inevitably grow slowly and develop, and our common home on earth will become more and more beautiful. Chairman Shi said.
