Together, they used tripwires to securely tie the horse's legs together and then fastened it.

Shi Wen came over with his clean hands, then took a large amount of lubricant and carefully put his hands into the horse's belly to check the horse's condition.

The horse began to struggle and neigh.

Everyone tried to hold the horse down, but they couldn't.

At this moment, Shi Wen's Shi Suo strolled over and saw the horse being held down and Shiwen Shi Wen. It stood aside as if it understood what was happening.

It stood there for a while, then suddenly neighed loudly at the horse.

The horse stiffened and stopped struggling.

Shi Wen quickly seized the opportunity to reach in again, and the horse began to struggle again. Shi Suo neighed once more, making the horse obedient.

At this point, Shi Wen had already determined that the horse did indeed have an intestinal obstruction, and the obstruction was located in the pelvic area.

He could feel a hard lump when he pressed it gently with his hand.

After Shi Wen diagnosed, Shi Wen stretched out his hand and said to his waiting companions, "It's colonic obstruction. Let's treat it that way."

This time, no one doubted it.

Ban Lei asked, "We have paraffin wax, mineral oil, and magnesium sulfate. Which one should we use?"

Shi Wen and said, "Use magnesium sulfate. I'll mix some honey water with it; it shouldn't resist that much then."

Shi Wen brought two large jars of honey this time. Because it was a free clinic, the farmers didn't need to pay for it.

However, when he needs to use honey, he will reduce the amount slightly, otherwise these two jars of honey will not be enough.

The horse is currently experiencing intestinal obstruction, has a very low appetite, and doesn't like to drink water.

However, the honey water from Shi Wen's family was such a wonderful thing that it was incredibly tempting to small animals. The horse smelled the honey water, hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't resist sticking its head in and gulping down half a bucket of it.

Shi Suo saw it from a distance and came over, wanting a drink too.

Shi Wen, Shi Wen quickly pushed its neck, moving its large, hot body away. "You rascal, don't try to drink everything you see. This honey water has laxatives in it; you'll get diarrhea if you drink it."

Shi Suo: "Hiss!"

Shi Wen, "It's not that I won't let you drink it, it's that there's medicine in it, you can't drink it."

Shi Suo was still unconvinced and nudged Shi Wen with his big head.

Shi Wen thought about how hard this fellow had worked carrying people and supplies all this way, so he patted its ear and said, "Alright, I'll go make you some honey water. Just a little bit, is that too much?"

Shi Wen scooped a small spoonful of honey, then added it directly to mineral water, shook it well, and gave it to Shi Suo to drink.

Shi Suo drank until his eyes were squinted, and after finishing, he happily licked Shi Wen.

Shi Wen laughed and pushed its tongue away, "Don't lick me! Why do you always pick up these bad habits?"

The horse likely has an intestinal obstruction, and no treatment will be seen in a short period of time.

Shi Wen they decided to stay there for another afternoon, planning to spend the night there and then see how things went the next morning before setting off again.

Anyway, there are other herders living nearby, so they can just hurry over and go treat the livestock of those other herders.

Everyone should make the most of the time while it's still early and get to work.

They split into five groups and headed in different directions, planning to come back here for dinner that evening.

Shi Wen and Ban Lei on the same team.

Ban Lei speaks a minority language well and has a veterinary license, so he can help with translation and treatment.

When they went out, they brought more medicine and injections than the other teams.

No one had any objections, and they all thought that if it were to Shi Wen, it might consume more medicine and injections.

His diagnostic speed was too fast, far exceeding conventional methods.

Shi Wen's certainly true, and there's nothing to be modest about.

They rode horses for more than an hour until they reached a small settlement with only three households.

Although there are only three households here, they have quite a few livestock, including cattle, sheep, horses, and camels. Shi Wen them helping to look after the animals and prescribing a lot of medicine and toiletries.

When livestock graze outdoors for extended periods, they often encounter various minor problems. These problems are usually not serious and do not lead to death, but they can cause the livestock to become emaciated and their growth efficiency to decrease.

These problems are relatively easy to treat; they can be resolved with relevant medications or injections.

Ban Lei could handle this on his own without Shi Wen even needing to intervene.

After inspecting the livestock, they were about to leave.

One of the women in the household asked, "Can you cure people's illnesses? My husband's back has been hurting for a long time and it hasn't gotten better."

Ban Lei helped translate, Shi Wen heard her say that, she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen the male head of the household while she was treating the livestock.

Shi Wen looked at her and said, "We can only treat livestock, we haven't learned how to treat people. If someone gets sick, they have to go to the big hospital down there."

After listening to Ban Lei's translation, the woman said anxiously, "I've seen a doctor, but he wasn't very good; he didn't cure me."

Ban Lei helped with the translation.

The woman looked at Shi Wen expectantly and said, "Look how strong the livestock are, please help watch over the people."

Shi Wen couldn't refuse this older woman, so he had no choice but to agree to go in and take a look.

The male owner was lying in the tent, seemingly unable to get up.

His complexion was somewhat sallow, and his eyes lacked vitality.

The woman told Shi Wen and the others that when she visited the man a while ago, he was doing well, able to sit and walk. However, since they arrived at the summer ranch, his condition has worsened, and he has been suffering from back pain for several days, unable to get out of bed.

Shi Wen asked about their previous examination results, they said the doctor diagnosed them with a slight lumbar disc herniation and prescribed medication, but it wasn't very effective, so they were told to undergo rehabilitation therapy.

Shi Wen looked at them and suddenly said to Ban Lei, "Could you ask them if their cattle and sheep have ever had brucellosis?"

Brucellosis is caused by Brucella bacteria infection and is a common pathogen in animal husbandry.
