Prevention and treatment of bamboo rat disease

1. Trauma is the most common disease in the rearing of the bamboo rat. Often due to grabbing each other, being frightened, fighting each other and biting each other, or being caught in an iron cage during transport, improper methods of catching cause human error. Therapeutic method: It is necessary to timely wipe the syrup blue sky iodine, pot bottom ash, lavender oil, etc., and human traumatic hemostatic drugs can be used. When the wound is larger, deeper, and has more bleeding, Yunnan Baiyao should be applied to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation. The wound cannot be wrapped with gauze, nor can it be coated with plaster or tape, otherwise the rat will tear off the dressing;

2. Severe trauma or abscesses. Abscesses occur in the bamboo rat due to unsuccessful treatment or improper treatment due to fight. Common yellow and white abscesses are found on the head, abdomen, limbs, and tail base of the bamboo rat. soft. Treatment: Ablation of the abscess, removal of pus, washing and disinfection of wounds, rubbing with chloramphenicol tablets powder mixed with peanut oil rubbed, while intramuscular injection of penicillin anti-inflammatory, to prevent wound reinfection;

3, gastroenteritis, mainly due to feed unclean and mildew degeneration caused by sick mice mental depression. Reduce or not eat, dilute feces around the anus, purine in the nest in the evening, gradually thin, eventually dehydration and death. Treatment: After 1-2 meals, take 1 tablet (0.5g) of oxytetracycline (such as 1/4 to 1/6 when using a human drug) and apply it twice daily. Or intramuscular injection of oxytetracycline 0.4-0.5 ml each time, once daily, continuous medication for 3 days; In severe cases, intramuscular injection of chloramphenicol, each 0.5-0.6 ml, once daily, continuous injection 2 days can be cured; (this disease is more difficult to treat after the middle and late period, so we pay attention to the regular observation during the feeding process, the previous period can be used for a day or two to burn the firewood with the pot bottom ash mixed concentrate feed)

4, E. coli disease, mostly occurred in spring and summer, the rat's large belly, touch a sense of volatility, the mother is often mistaken for pregnancy, necropsy visible in the abdomen with a large number of cold powder (transparent jelly) leachables. Treatment: neomycin and cephalosporin treatment, each rat 0.5 ml injection, young rats halved;

5. The cold was caused by a sudden change in climate. The bamboo rat was caused by wind, rain, and cold. Rats breathe faster, chills, clear nose, reduce or not eat, body temperature drops, body temperature rises when serious, and if not treated, it is easy to develop pneumonia. Treatment: intramuscular injection of compound aminopyrine, each 0.3-0.5 ml, 2 times a day, severe cases of intramuscular injection of 100,000-150 thousand units of penicillin, 3 times a day. When pneumonia is complicated, cross-injection with penicillin and streptomycin is required, and the technique is more complicated. It should be conducted under the guidance of a veterinarian.

6, heat stroke, summer transport bamboo rats such as temperatures up to 32 degrees, poor ventilation in the compartment, or after 20-30 minutes of exposure, coupled with the lack of juicy feed, the body can not be added water, heat stroke will occur. First aid method: Move the sick rat to the shade and cover it with wet sand. Only expose the head. After 10-15 minutes, the rat will wake up. If you can't find the wet sand, you can put the rat in the cold water and let it expose its head to prevent a lot of drinking water. Otherwise, even if the heat stroke is lifted, the rat can hardly feed. In addition, rubbing cool oil on the nostrils of bamboo rats.

7, postpartum detachment, some mothers produce the first child, due to excessive exertion, more likely to lead to postpartum uterus prolapse, if not found in time, the uterus will be black and issued a bad smell, the final female will snap it , so that this mother lost reproductive ability. First-aid methods: If the pups are constantly being heard (without milk) for two or three days after giving birth, then the condition of the dam should be checked. The first kind, after frying with soybeans, put it in the bile bleb so that the fried soybeans absorb the broth of the pig's gall bladder. After half an hour, take out a little air-drying to grind into the powder and feed it into the food. The uterus will be two to three days later. Self-introduced into the body; the second, after the discovery of uterine detachment, the uterus was applied three to four times a day with a cool oil, and the mother would continue to lick after smearing, and it will slowly recover after a few days. It is worth noting that the above method is suitable for about three days after childbirth. If it is discovered more than four days after delivery, the possibility of cure is reduced a lot. Basically, it can be declared that it has become a sex-mouse.

8, pups indigestion.

Treatment methods: Rats were allowed to rest for 1 day, supplemented with 1-2 tablets of yeast tablets, and fed for 3-7 days.
