Uncle Zheng, 75, and his "78" year old dog Huanhuan

Huanhuan is old, 15 years old, in the dog world, it is considered a longevity, equivalent to 78 years of human life. According to the animal kingdom's algorithm, the average life span of a puppy is about 12 years old.



Huanhuan is very famous in the community, and neighbors call it a "legendary dog."


8 years ago, it was diagnosed with prostate cancer advanced stage. The doctor shook his head when he sewed up its cut-off belly and said, "I will be alive soon."


But its owner did not give up on it, and became Huanhuan's "family doctor", and Huanhuan also cooperated with treatment obediently, as if he knew that he was short in time and cherished the time spent with the elderly.


Huanhuan is like a sensible "big brother"


Huanhuan’s owner is Uncle Zheng, a native of Huzhou, 75 years old, and his daughter works in Hangzhou.


One day 15 years ago, my daughter saw a colleague coming to work with a small milk dog. The colleague saw a homeless man holding it by the side of the road. The homeless man said that the puppy was picked up. Thinking that her father was sad because the puppy she had raised before, she continued to think of the old man, and asked the little milk dog from her colleague softly.


In this way, Huanhuan was sent from Hangzhou to Huzhou and handed over to Uncle Zheng.


Soon, Huanhuan had another "brother" Lele, who was a poodle. The two puppies were about the same age, Huanhuan was mature and prudent, and Lele was naughty and clingy.


Although Lele entered the door late, he quickly won the favor of Uncle Zheng's family. But Huanhuan doesn't know that. It is a naive, "upright dog", playing the role of "big brother" dutifully.


puppies will also fight for pets, "little brother" Lele is a bit pampered, and has a rude attitude towards "big brother", but Huanhuan always let "little brother" do not lie.


Everyone who has raised a dog knows that the puppies’ rules for pooping and defecation must be established since childhood. Huanhuan never seems to worry Uncle Zheng at this point. It seems that he naturally knows the rules of going outside to Lhasa, “three times a day , Very punctual", "little brother" Lele is different. He didn't learn it until he grew up.


had three broken ribs,

was sent to Hangzhou for medical treatment,


is now in the joy of twilight years, and has the courage of the prime of life.


Once outside, I saw similar partners, regardless of their size and strength, and Huanhuan would challenge them. Just like in martial arts movies, martial arts people always have to make a few moves to determine the next ranking.


meets on a narrow road, the brave wins, sometimes it wins, sometimes it loses.


Once, Huanhuan rushed towards a big black dog. Before it could make a move, the big black dog rushed over and bit Huanhuan. Huanhuan could not move as if he had been acupuncture. Under the mediation of the two masters, this "martial arts dispute" was resolved.

This time, Huanhuan lost so badly that he couldn't move. The owner of the big black dog said to Uncle Zheng, "You go to Hangzhou to see it. I will pay for the medical expenses." Uncle Zheng quickly called his daughter, and the daughter hurried back to Huzhou from Hangzhou overnight, picking up the puppy and father and heading straight to Hangzhou.


After the examination, the doctor at the pet hospital said that the three ribs were broken.


Huanhuan has to live "with dignity" even if he is sick. For example, it insists on getting up to eat, getting up from the ground with difficulty, and limping to the food bowl; for example, it insists on not letting itself "incontinence". Uncle Zheng took a board and made it into a stretcher. Put it on the stretcher, hold the stretcher downstairs, let it relax...


just like that, a few months later, it was alive and kicking again.


Huanhuan also ran away from home. That morning, Uncle Zheng took Huanhuan and Lele out to play. When they arrived in the park, the two puppies quarreled. Uncle Huanhuan was fierce, and Huanhuan was wronged. He turned his head and ran away.


At the beginning, Uncle Zheng thought that Huanhuan didn’t run far.Waiting for it to run back by itself, but it didn't wait until the afternoon. The uncle panicked and searched the area around the park for five or six kilometers. The whole family, including the daughter who hurried back to Huzhou from Hangzhou, looked for it together. It was already dark. They flashed their flashlights and went through the alley to look for another circle. Dark A group of shadows ran over, and the old man cried, "I won't attack you anymore." The


incident spread in the community. Everyone said that Huanhuan had a conscience, and Uncle Zheng felt that it was quite a face.


became a dog's "family doctor"


8 years ago, one day, Uncle Zheng found that Huanhuan's stomach was swollen very high. As soon as the doctor checked and said that he would have an operation, Uncle Zheng was worried, and rushed to Hangzhou to see a doctor for follow-up consultation with his puppy.


The doctor at Hangzhou Pet Hospital also said that he would have an operation immediately after the examination. He was not sure which stage of the cancer was, and he had to be dissected to get a pathological biopsy. The examination report of


showed that it was advanced prostate cancer. For pets, after suffering from cancer, they must first undergo resection surgery, and then undergo the next step of chemotherapy. Inject the chemotherapy drugs slowly through the vein.


Compared with people receiving chemotherapy, pets respond slightly better, but after a long period of time, more often, they will have side effects such as poor appetite, hair loss, and vomiting.


Huanhuan has to undergo 12 chemotherapy sessions, each chemotherapy is about 600 to 700 yuan, each chemotherapy injection, Huanhuan does not call, black eyes looking at Uncle Zheng, uncle distressed.


After 12 chemotherapy sessions, Uncle Zheng took it back to Huzhou and became its nanny and "family doctor." After the operation


, Huanhuan was a little incontinent. Uncle Zheng bought the child’s diapers and wrapped it up. Sometimes, Huanhuan frowned and constipated. He squatted down and pulled his stool...


Huanhuan had blood in his urine. Now, Uncle Zheng pondered to pour out the powder in the antibiotic capsule and mix it in the meat, Huanhuan also ate it cooperatively. Although Uncle Zheng thinks antibiotics are odorless, in fact, the number of olfactory cells in a puppy is more than 220.5 million, which is 45 times that of humans. I think, perhaps Huanhuan knows the uncle’s heart, and its cooperation is actually It is to make the elderly feel at ease.


"For the puppy all day long." Once, an old friend persuaded Uncle Zheng to give up the puppy. He was unhappy when he heard it, so he quarreled with others.


"Huanhuan wants to go downstairs to urinate. I walk the dog three times a day. I can't beat the thunder. I go there on rainy and snowy days. For me, I also exercise." Uncle Zheng said.


Today’s Huanhuan, walked, hobbled, and acted less dexterously than when he was in the prime of life. Now even the sofa is too high, and his legs can’t stand when it comes down. Therefore, Uncle Zheng put one under the sofa The box allows it to use strength when it jumps without hurting the dog’s self-esteem.


Its hearing is not very bright anymore. This is an irreversible aging, and its temperament is not as good as before. Aging takes away its hostility, its bravery and aggressiveness. It changes from the look in the eyes. The body has become gentle.


Last year, Lele got sick and left. Only Huanhuan was left at home, and it became more and more silent.


Huanhuan has also become more and more accommodating and clinging to Uncle Zheng. As long as he goes out, it will start to lose consciousness and “look at the door whenever he wants.” Uncle Zheng, who used to have a fierce temper, has become a lot gentler now.


Cancers in cats, dogs and dogs

are most likely to be breast cancer


Zhang Xu, head of an animal hospital in Hangzhou, said that the highest rate of cancers in cats, dogs and dogs is breast cancer, which is caused by the lack of birth control. Like kittens, they are also prone to leukemia.


The golden retriever is the most prone to cancer among dogs, "belonging to cancer-prone physique", this is related to the genetic defect of golden retriever itself, all cancers may occur in golden retriever, the most likely to get is skin cancer.


From a clinical point of view, the risk of cancer in cats is slightly lower than that of dogs. why


Do pets now have a high incidence of cancer? Zhang Xu said that most of them are genetic defects, especially purebred pets. In order to ensure the purity of their pedigrees, many of them are close relatives, which leads to genetic defects in the pets.


In addition, this is related to the longer and longer life of pets. Generally, pets are 10-15 years old, and senescence occurs above 10 years old. This is also the peak period for pets' various diseases. Now, pets’ living conditions are getting better and better, and they live longer. Cancer often occurs when pets are old.


Of course, there are other reasons, for example, some drugs dropped on pets can also cause tumors.
