Miracle reborn at the zoo

Once, we had a group of black bears in the zoo, and several of the female bears were hybrid black bears.

One of the female bears gave birth to three cubs.

At first we were happy, but after a month and a half, all three black bears showed the same symptoms.

Blue lips, dull eyes, inability to pronounce, difficulty breathing.

(It's exactly the same as the old symptoms that some black bears used to have.)

We first brought in the most specialized animal medicine doctors.

One by one, no organ lesions were found, and finally it was suspected that the small black bear born to the close relative female bear was born weak and easy to die.

I was very upset, this world, the most painful thing is not death, but knowing that there is no result, can not give up.

Finally, we have to witness their death, and the feeling of life slowly passing in our hands will destroy a person's will.

This sad, others difficult to solve in case, I know, three small black bears are bound to die, before this symptom of the black bear no matter how to use drugs

How to do atomizing oxygen is finally dead, and the death is extremely painful all suffocated to death.

So, I began to take care of three small black bears, and during the day I was responsible for feeding them, aerosolizing them, giving them oxygen, and giving them injections.

At night, I went home with three small black bears and a ventilator in a basket.

I can only sleep about two hours a night because they have trouble breathing and often scream, so I let them lie on top of me.

Sleep half standing up so they can catch their breath, and 10 days later, two cubs are still dead.

The last one left, our principal told me, Chen, can not give an injection, you do not sleep day after day, and finally are dead.

I thought the principal was right, so I took the medicine.

During the day I work normally, at night I carry the small black bear home, the small black bear usually breathing difficulties, I specially for the black bear to sit on a stool.

Let the bears sit, they can sit there without their feet, and they can sleep.

However, gradually, the small black bear became thinner and weaker, often opening its mouth, opening and closing, and crying painfully on the face.

But his voice has been hoarse, can not call out the voice.

In the middle of the night sometimes extreme pain, will make a serious scream, listen to my heart ache

I took out the needle numerous times, ready to kill it, but could not bear it, and then I found a few colleagues, let them inject.

Nobody wants to, and I don't blame them, and who wants to get their hands dirty?

At that time, I was very anxious, knowing that the small black bear would surely die, and I still had to insist on saving it.

I once thought that while it was sleeping, I would secretly kill it with a needle, but I couldn't bear to start.

Finally, hold the black bear every day, die, die at home, at least not cold, the bed is soft.

The small black bear is also very dependent on me, sleep at night, lie on my body to sleep, I still give it treatment every day.

Gradually, I found that the small black bear can actually sleep on the stomach, I am ecstatic, every day carefully care.

Finally, he recovered, but his voice remained hoarse and his hind legs were somewhat disabled.

Watching the baby black bear eat normally, I suddenly felt that all this seemed like a dream.

Finally, the black bear grew up and recognized no one but me. Every time I went, it held me without PAWS.

If I had given it up, the result would have been completely different.

Since then, I believe in hope, sometimes 0.01 is not equal to 0, this black bear, let me know the meaning of life.

Love life and live well.

Years later, every time I want to give up, I think of that dying little black bear. Many times, people have to believe in the existence of hope.

Maybe through the end of the darkness, there is light
