A retired military dog handler in China has become an online pet-saving sensation by curing cats and dogs in a spartan clinic with little medical equipment.
Qian Yong, who opened the clinic in rural Tangshan, northern Hebei province, has earned the nickname Hua Tuo in the Vets Field, the China News Service reported.
Hua Tuo was a Chinese doctor who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty (25-220) and is generally regarded by the public as a Divine Doctor because of his great medical skill.
Qian, 43, boasts 5 million followers on social media. Since May of last year, he has released 76 video clips, some of which garnered over 2.5 million likes.
The simple videos show Qian’s working processes in his bare-bones clinic.
