After Sun Xiaomeng's car drove away, Zhang Zian kept his word and started cleaning.
In fact, the cleaning here is not as heavy as compared to pet stores, which may be the reason why there are not many customers. The waiting room only had some dust and cat and dog hair, and the consultation room and operating room were even cleaner. She probably cleaned it after the business closed last night. Today, it only needs to be sprayed with disinfectant to disinfect it.
There is only Sun Xiaomeng in the clinic, and the equipment is not enough. It is estimated that it will not be able to perform major surgery, and at most it will do sterilization and fracture trauma treatment.
It is a fact that the fees charged by pet hospitals and pet clinics are very expensive, which can be said to be more expensive than human medical treatment.
Human neutering costs about 200 yuan, and dog neutering starts at 400 yuan!
Conclusion: Single dogs are not as good as pet dogs! Nothing wrong!
The expensive equipment of public hospitals that serve people is heavily subsidized by the state, while the equipment for pet clinics and pet hospitals must be purchased out of pocket.
This is the main reason why it is so expensive to treat pets to the doctor.
An X-ray machine for pets costs at least 50,000 yuan, and has a service life of 3 to 5 years. If maintenance costs are included, it will be even more expensive. What about other equipment such as color ultrasound equipment? If the cost of diagnosis and treatment is low, the cost cannot be recovered at all.
In addition, there are rent, utilities, labor and other miscellaneous expenses. Opening a pet clinic is not a charity. Practicing veterinarians have to earn money to support their families. At least they have to earn back their college tuition fees. The tuition fees for studying medicine are high. If the profit from opening a store is too small, it is better to simply close the store and go to work in a large pet hospital.
Another reason why people think that pets are expensive to see a doctor is that people have medical insurance, but pets do not.
"Adopt instead of buying" is popular in the society now, which means don't buy a pet, but adopt one. The original intention of this slogan is good, but once the adopted pets get sick, will the owners be willing to spend a lot of money to treat them? Some people will definitely, but I guess most people won't-this is a stop loss.
On the contrary, if you buy a Persian cat for 10,000 yuan, when it is sick, the owner is more likely to spend thousands of dollars to treat it than to let it die by itself-this is also a stop loss.
Therefore, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.
The operating room opened into two rooms, one of which was a dressing room, and another door led to a short corridor, which contained two other doors labeled "Observation Room" and "Sick Ward."
Zhang Zian pushed open the door of the observation room. There were two small beds covered with white sheets, and a pet ECG monitor and an oxygen supply device were placed beside the beds. The two hospital beds are currently empty, and the breathing masks are randomly placed on the beds.
Standing at the door of the observation room and taking a few glances, Zhang Zian pushed open the door of the ward again.
Inside the ward was a row of iron cages, two floors above and below, with four on each floor, a total of eight iron cages. Near the roof, a small exhaust fan hummed and turned rhythmically.
There are currently three tenants in the cage, a half-sized golden retriever, an adult land cat and an adult poodle.
Hearing the sound of him opening the door, all three animals stood up, and the poodle barked twice.
He walked into this veterinary ward, and on the shelf at the door were cat food and dog food—real dog food, not spiritual food for single dogs. There is also a water dispenser in the room with a bucket half full of water.
Zhang Zian approached the iron cage, and the half-grown golden retriever and the distinguished guests all leaned over, obviously hungry, maybe thirsty too. The earth cat glanced at him lazily, then lay down again.
There were no scars on the golden retriever and poodle, but part of the hair on the left front leg of the earth cat was cut off, and the new hair had not yet fully grown, and the wound that had healed could still be vaguely seen.
From his point of view, the three animals are currently healthy, maybe a little weak, but this may be caused by being kept in the cage for a long time, and their physical condition should be good. Especially for this local cat, judging from its hair growth, the operation on the left front leg was performed at least half a month ago, and it stands to reason that it could have left the clinic long ago.
So the question is, why are these three healthy pets still here
Of course it couldn't be because Sun Xiaomeng had too much cat and dog food.
…
While Zhang Zian was exploring Victoria's Secret... no, when he was exploring the secrets of the pet clinic, Sun Xiaomeng had already driven back to the pet home breeding base.
Her father never complained to her about the current state of the farm. She also knows that the recent business situation is not good, but what can she do? She is a veterinarian, not an advertising planner or a marketing expert.
A few years ago, the situation of the breeding base was very good, so her father decided to get a bank loan to expand the scale. However, the good times don't last long. With the rise of various cat houses and kennels in recent years, the comprehensive pet breeding base is at a disadvantage. There are two reasons. One is because the stalls in the breeding base are too large, and the second is because the cat house and kennel are full of gimmicks, and they often call it "our pets are competition-level, and the lineage can be traced back five generations." !"
Going back to the Five Dynasties, it has returned to the Ten Kingdoms!
From a veterinary point of view, animals with purer bloodlines are more fragile, but all kinds of strings are extremely healthy-this kind of fragility cannot be seen on the surface. The hidden dangers of blood vessels and nervous system are exposed.
The British people are the most fanatical about the pursuit of pet dog blood. She has read a survey report that more than 50% of the purebred dogs in the UK are related by blood. In other words, you have half the chance of meeting your seven aunts and eight aunts when you go out on a blind date—the picture is too beautiful to imagine.
C, who has always been good at self-deprecating, shot a documentary-"The Sorrow of Purebred Dogs" is about this issue.
Everyone in the industry knows that in a medium-sized city, there are competition-level cats and dogs produced by cat kennels, and their candidate fathers can be counted on one hand.
In order to dilute the blood relationship and reduce the hidden danger of genetic diseases, under her suggestion, the cats, dogs, and rabbits in the pet home breeding base are all imported from other places at a high price. This will bring better health, and the price is the quality. Unstable, but which customer can understand this painstaking effort? Everyone is pursuing the perfect appearance under the propaganda campaign of CFA and FCI.
How do you say that? Since ancient times, the true love can't be kept, and the routine always wins the hearts of the people.
She regrets it now, perhaps it is her own stubbornness that has led to the high cost of the farm.
When she was secretly feeling sad, she saw a few strangers coming out of the rabbit house, carrying the rabbit cage and going out. She knew the rabbit in the cage, and it was the main breeding rabbit in the farm.
"Wait a minute! Who are you? Why move our rabbit!" She thought she had met a thief in broad daylight, so she couldn't help shouting.
"It's okay, I sold it, and I won't raise rabbits in the future." Sun Yinian also came out after them.
"Huh?" She was stunned.
