Chapter 236 The Newborn Foal
Because she was too nervous, the palm of Carmen's pinching Lu Li kept shrinking, and incredible energy erupted from that small body, and the muscles all over her body tensed up; Trying to find some sense of security.

Lu Li focused on Brandon, holding his breath without even realizing it.

Chloe handed the stethoscope to Brandon. Brandon listened carefully for a while, then hung the stethoscope around his neck, nodded, "His heartbeat is normal, and he is in a state of suspended animation."

Chloe stepped forward skillfully, putting on sterile gloves on both hands; at the same time, Brandon stroked the blood in the umbilical cord towards the navel of the foal several times, passed the umbilical cord blood, and then Three or four centimeters away from the foal's abdomen, I made a mark with my finger. Chloe seized the opportunity and passed the scissors up, and Brandon cut it off accurately.

Afterwards, Brandon handed the scissors to Chloe again, and then grabbed the foal's hind limbs, and raised it high with force from the waist and abdomen, ensuring that the foal was completely suspended in the air; Chloe put down the scissors Then a stride came forward, patting the horse's back and chest with both hands.

The dull beating sound spread in the air, Lu Li's heart couldn't help but rise up, and it got stuck in his throat. The tension was almost impossible to shake off, and he even forgot to breathe. He just watched Chloe concentrate on it. slapped.

There seemed to be no end to the dull repetition, and no sign of the colt returning to normal, which was really frustrating, and a faint sadness made people feel a little overwhelmed.

Ambow covered his mouth, his eyes were slightly red, but he couldn't hold back, and grabbed Lu Li's sleeve; the little Carmen simply hid himself in Lu Li's chest, turned his head secretly, and peeped out of the corner of his eye. Everything that happens there.

"Okay, Brandon." Chloe said abruptly, took two steps back, and then Brandon put the pony flat on the ground.

Looking at the still motionless horse, it seemed that there was no sign of life at all. Amber and Carmen couldn't bear to watch it any longer. Even Lu Li could feel the bloody cruelty.

However, Brandon and Chloe still did not give up. Brandon let the pony lie down on his back, and then Brandon used his hands to rhythmically push the sides of his chest, with a gentle appearance as if he was taking care of his own child.

"Chloe?" Robert shouted loudly, but Chloe was still preparing colostrum on the other side, because the mare's body was too weak to look like it had colostrum.So, Chloe prepared the sitter horse, which was being milked at this time.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Lu Li took half a step forward, ready to join in. Carmen still hugged Lu Li's thigh tightly. Lu Li patted Carmen's back and looked into Carmen's eyes, "She I need my help, and your help, okay?"

Carmen bit her lower lip, nodded, and let go of her hands. Then Lu Li looked at Ambow and said seriously, "She needs our help."

Ambow's eyes burst out with determination, and he nodded vigorously to express his affirmation.Then he walked to Carmen's side, took Carmen's little hand, and the two stood side by side.

Lu Li walked forward quickly, picked up the disinfected gloves next to him, put them on skillfully, then walked behind Robert, knelt down on one knee, and got ready.

There was no time to explain at this time, Robert turned his head directly, "I need you to hold the baby bottle next to it, which has warm water in it, and come forward to feed her. She is a little tired now and needs to recover."

Lu Li nodded, without any nonsense, walked to the side, picked up the giant feeding bottle, went to the mare's head, knelt on the ground, and put the pacifier on it.Sure enough, the mare immediately opened its mouth to bite and began to suck. The turbid and hot breath sprayed on the back of Lu Li's hand, but it was weak, as if he could clearly feel the loss of energy in her body.

At the same time, Robert began to raise the hindquarters of the mare, and adjusted it slightly. With that movement, it seemed that the second foal was in a wrong fetal position, and large beads of sweat slid down his forehead, sultry. The air is almost breathless.

Lu Li's heartbeat couldn't help but started to speed up. The sense of reality that was so close made life and death extremely heavy. He raised the bottle slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the mare was sucking all the warm water in the bottle. complete.However, her eyes still looked cloudy and tired, which didn't seem to help.

Lu Li turned to look at Robert, but Robert shook his head, "Give her some time."

Lu Li suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. In many cases, many things, even if they tried their best, the help they could provide was limited.

Time was slowly passing by, Lu Li's eyes wandered between the foal next to him and the mare in front of him, he couldn't help but bent down, and whispered, "Please, your child needs you, two children That's all; you need your children too."

Lu Li knew that this was stupid and absurd, he was treating the mare in front of him the same way he would treat a human being.But in fact, human beings are also a kind of animals, aren't they?
Lu Li cautiously stretched out his hand, stroking the mare's mane, he could feel her weak muscles in his palm, the faint warmth was jumping above his fingertips, and the weak vitality was gathering again.

"Okay! She's recovered!" Robert wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, looked at Lu Li, and showed a big smile, "Never ignore mother's strength." Lu Li twitched the corner of his mouth lightly. , but the tension still hasn't completely relaxed - because the second foal still hasn't been born.

While speaking, Lu Li could feel the mare's muscles tense up again, and the gathered strength erupted like a volcano. Lu Li could clearly feel the vigorous vitality, and couldn't help but feel joyful.

Forelimbs, head, body, hind limbs... The second foal was finally born naturally.

Lu Li held his breath and stared at the horse intently. The first horse could be seen in the distance. Brandon and Chloe were still busy.

At this moment, the second foal opened its eyes, and the thick mucus blurred its vision, but he—or she finally opened its eyes, and Robert skillfully wiped the mucus off the foal's head Clean, said in a low voice, "You are more competitive than your brother."

After wiping off the mucus, Maju looked left and right, then opened his mouth, and tore off the umbilical cord. Lu Li's eyes widened with that swift action.It turned out that the umbilical cord was to be torn off by the foal itself, and the first foal just now was obviously a special case.

Afterwards, Robert quickly disinfected the wound where the umbilical cord was severed with tincture of iodine, then picked up the foal, motioned Lu Li to step aside, and placed the foal in front of the mare.

Looking at the mare in front of him, she seemed to have used up the last bit of her strength, which made Lu Li almost think that her vitality was about to be completely cut off, but when he saw the foal, the mare opened her eyes again and lightly tapped her head. He arched the foal lightly, then stuck out his tongue, licking off the mucus on the foal bit by bit.

"This can promote blood circulation, and it can also help the mare recognize the foal." Robert explained briefly, and then looked back at another foal not far behind him, "He must come here quickly."

Before Robert's words fell, Carmen's excited voice sounded, "He's awake, he's awake!" But after only two words, she tightly covered her mouth, lest her The sound startled the three mother and child in front of her, but the uncontrollable excitement made her jump on the spot.

Lu Li raised his head and looked over, and then saw the pony raised his head, as if he was looking at this brand new world, his half-closed eyes were still extremely weak, but there was no doubt that he was raising his head, he was indeed raising his head.

After crossing the death line, the vitality flowed out majesticly. The joy and happiness of new life, the suffering and ups and downs of setbacks, were like stormy waves, rushing in, and when he was caught off guard, Lu Li felt a warmth in his eye sockets. Not expected.

In a panic, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, only to find that his fingertips were trembling slightly, and the surging emotions were surging in his chest, which could not be expressed in words.But happiness just overflowed like this, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Through his hazy vision, Lu Li saw Ambow. Ambow was also wiping tears with tears in his eyes. The two people's eyes met, and they both laughed. The corners of the mouth extended to the bottom of the eyes, revealing a bright light.

Brandon picked up the little pony, "Can you give me a little space here for my mother?" The plain words had a sense of humor at this moment, which made everyone chuckle.

Both Lu Li and Robert stepped back to make room. Brandon carefully lowered the foal, placing it between the mare and the other foal.

The mare sniffed the new guy in front of her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally stuck out her tongue and licked him, tired, weak, and weak, but gentle, focused, and deep.

Everyone didn't speak, just watched quietly, watched the mare lick the mucus off the two foals little by little, watched the mare caressing the two foals little by little, The two boys raised their heads, opened their misty eyes, and searched around, trying to find food under the mare's belly.

"Oh, the baby is hungry." Carmen's immature voice broke the silence, and a smile appeared on the corners of everyone's mouths. They all knew that the mare will survive, and so will the child, at least for now Say so.

Chloe raised the bottle in her hand, "Then, we'd better feed them quickly, or it will be terrible, right? Anyone want to try?"

"Me! Me!" Carmen raised her right hand high, and even stood on tiptoe because she was worried that others would not see it, with a look of expectation on her face.
