Chapter 35: Heart Attack (1/2)
Wei Huo heard the horrifying warning and was stunned. He quickly checked his own Health Menu but found no diseases. He then checked Lu Qiqi's Health Menu as well and she was alright.
Wei Huo had gone out to hunt with Lu Qiqi today while the panda was in charge of looking after their belongings. Due to its age, the panda no longer had the strength to hunt. Wei Huo ended up being the one carrying all of their belongings.
Wei Huo ran back when he realized that the problem was neither him nor Lu Qiqi.
The panda could no longer get up by the time Wei Huo found it. It was panting on the floor and seemed like it was in excruciating pains.
Wei Huo checked its Health Menu immediately. 'Deadly Disease: Heart Attack (Critical).'
Lu Qiqi arrived at the scene as well. She checked the panda's condition and said, ”It's too fat. Too much fat has accumulated in its body causing its blood vessels to harden and clog. The heart has been overworking, and the damage to it is severe. Most importantly… It's too old.”
Wei Huo scrunched his brows. ”Could it be saved?”
Lu Qiqi said, ”A surgery needs to be performed, but there are no tools for it. On top of that, my Medicine level is not high enough to perform surgeries. We need to find an experienced vet.”
Where can one find an experienced vet while humans are still in the time halt?
Wei Huo had an idea as he asked Lu Qiqi, ”Can medicine for humans be fed to pandas?”
Wei Huo had the Item Mall as his arsenal. He also had over 5,000 Magical Stones. As long as he used those stones to buy a special remedy for heart diseases, should the problem not be solved?
Wei Huo clicked open the Item Mall and performed a search. There was a wide range of medicine available in the Item Mall. There were both cheap and expensive options. For example, Sparkling World tablets said to be the cure of all diseases cost 1.5 million Magical Stones each while a box of Bao Xin Ning tablets usually used for heart diseases only cost five Magical Stones each.
Lu Qiqi suggested, ”I don't know how to treat heart diseases, but I recommend that you shouldn't buy too many types of medicine. You should focus on getting just one.”
Wei Huo nodded. He knew that he was not a doctor himself, and there was no way he would be capable of getting the most appropriate medicine for the panda's situation at that moment. He was also clear that one should not consume medicine rashly. Moreover, this was medicine for humans. He did not know what would happen if he fed it to an animal.
There were more expensive and fancy options, but it was wiser to buy a simpler and commonly used medicine instead.
Wei Huo bought a Perfect Heart Reliever pill which cost him 500 Magical Stones. According to its introduction, the pill can revive any patient suffering from heart attacks but it was not a cure. It was said to work on humans, but no one knew if it was going to work on pandas.
The ones that could cure heart diseases were too expensive. Wei Huo could not afford those. He did not care for the cheaper options either as he knew that good things never came cheap.
Wei Huo fed the Perfect Heart Reliever pill to the panda. As it could no longer eat anything, Wei Huo had to force its mouth open and stuff the pill down its throat. The panda could only swallow the pill after being fed some water.
Wei Huo could only try his best in desperate times. It was all up to fate and the panda itself if it could survive.
Wei Huo put his Doran's Shield on the panda's body. Unfortunately, the shield was of no use. The introduction of Doran's Shield had stated that it could only slightly recover one's health.
However, as the panda had a heart attack, Doran's Shield was of no use to it.
There were no operating theatres in a place like this. They only had some common herbal medicine on them. The most they could do presently was to make a crutch or stretcher for the panda. They were of not much use to its present situation.
