After ten years of age, Dongdong is already an old cat. He started to move slowly two or three years ago, and even four or five years ago, he almost no longer has desire. Attachment and love.
"Dongdong... I had a heart problem before." Dr. Wang put down the stethoscope and made a note on the medical record in his hand, "I have been prescribing a little medicine for arrhythmia, and now there is a little bradycardia. Symptoms, fortunately, are not too serious."
The pet hospital on this street near the university town has been open for more than ten years. Dr. Wang has expanded several times, and now it is quite large. In the past two years, he has recruited several doctors here, and he does not often see doctors. . Today, it was also Hai Ruo who called in advance, so Doctor Wang specially went to see Dongdong—after all, he had been a doctor for this little black cat for ten years.
"Really?" Hai Ruo stroked Dongdong's fur and frowned. Now his fur is no longer as shiny and shiny as when he was a child, with some signs of dullness.
"You also know that Dongdong was severely cold when you brought it here. Later, although you took good care of it, your physique was still weaker than the average cat." Dr. Wang himself is also old, with gray hair, no Can't see clearly with reading glasses. "And... there may be some new changes. I suggest taking a blood test and taking another film to see it."
"What do you mean?" Hai Ruo's brows furrowed even tighter, and there was an ominous feeling in her heart.
"I can't say it either, let's check it out." Doctor Wang waved, Dongdong stood up on the veterinary examination table, rubbed Hairuo's side, and made a grunting sound to comfort her.
It's okay, it's okay, I've been with you all the time, don't be afraid.
"The result of the examination is..." Doctor Wang sighed regretfully, "Intestinal lymphoma, for cats, this is a common terminal illness."
Hai Ruo stopped touching Dong Dong's hand and closed her eyes fiercely.
"For the first two months, Dongdong had some signs of vomiting. I thought it was because of the wrong food. Then he started to lose weight... But he still ate as much as before, I thought it would not be a big problem... "
"Winter is coming soon, so keep him warm, don't let him go out if he has nothing to do, remember to sterilize the bacteria at home, and come here to take antibiotics regularly. For ordinary kittens, they will lose their appetite when they eat, and they will not be able to digest food. There may be pain, if he eats as much as usual... This little guy is distressed for you and relieved for you." I have to say that Dongdong is the most humane cat that Doctor Wang has ever seen, "So when the time comes Don't be too sad, he doesn't want you to be sad either." He patted Hai Ruo on the shoulder.
Hai Ruo was silent and nodded.
In fact, Dongdong knew what was wrong with his body earlier this year. After all, it was his own body, and the feeling of eating and resting was also his own. He always felt that something was wrong, very wrong.
At first, it was just a dull pain. Every time I eat, it becomes a torment. Even my favorite dishes in the past are no longer sweet, and the tongue has lost its taste.
But he had to eat these meals, because it would allow him to live, and it would allow him to continue to accompany Hai Ruo.
He always maintained his healthy and lively appearance. Whenever Hai Ruo touched him, he would still make a grunting sound because he didn't want to show his situation. When Hai Ruo was out, he would Climb up on your computer desk with all your might and search some web pages about your symptoms.
Look, a few years ago he just had to take off with force, and now, he has to stretch his body and climb up.
After typing a few keywords and browsing some forums and web pages, he probably identified his symptoms, and probably knew about it... There may not be much time left.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable natural laws, especially for a cat.
Besides, he didn't have the chance and qualifications to live any longer. The ten years that Hai Ruo saved him was actually enough.
But still sad, very sad. Dongdong carefully deletes the historical records, thank God she is not proficient in procedures and the like, so she will not find anything wrong by simply covering it up.
Just like he had been doing for over a decade before.
He tried his best to look as bright as usual, tried his best to walk around Hai Ruo, accompany her in class, go shopping with her, walk with her, and watch some bloody romance dramas with her.
He especially likes Hai Ruo to read poems to him now. Words are really a great medium. Whenever Hai Ruo reads the words of the ancients conveying lingering friendship, he will bring himself and Hai Ruo into it, imagining that it is Hai Ruo. If you express your feelings towards him, express your affection.
At this time, in the endless pain, he could always feel the nourishment and comfort of a clear spring, and felt that he still had a lot of energy to survive.
Until the morning a few days ago, when she woke up, Hai Ruo had already left for class, and Dong Dong lay down on the place where she had slept and opened her eyes.
Hold up his front legs and then his back legs, when Hai Ruo is not around, he can be weak for a while.
But when he jumped out of bed, some kind of piercing pain made him lie on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
After a while, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his forelimbs, wiping away the physiological tears.
Really, it hurts a bit.
He tentatively walked a few steps, and felt that it was bearable. He slowly grinded his steps, walked to his food bowl, and bit into it bit by bit.
Then, he looked at the computer that had not been turned on for some days and made a decision.
"Dongdong, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Back home, Hai Ruo hugged him like a crystal ball that was shattered and spliced back together, "Why don't you tell me?"
Hai Ruo complained and complained, so she started to cry. In recent years, she has been a little emotional, and she would cry a little while watching TV. Dongdong looked at her red eyes and called out loudly with all her strength.
"Why is it always like this, it's always like this." Hai Ruo pressed her chin against Dongdong's back, soft and almost weightless. "Don't tell me anything, aren't you very smart, why do you think about me so much, why do you have to endure it."
Sorry, sorry. Dongdong Mimi cried, her ears moved a few times and scratched Hairuo's neck, trying to make her laugh.
Hai Ruo couldn't smile.
Winter is coming soon, and the thought that Dongdong will strip her existence from her life in the near future is like falling into an ice cave, suffocating with stinging pain.
