How to treat a sheep with more severe tetanus

Tetanus antitoxin** is used in the early stages of the disease. It works great. The dose given to adult sheep under the skin or intravenously is 30.8 million units.

At the same time, 600,000 units of penicillin were injected intramuscularly twice a day. And the wound should be cleaned and disinfected. Sick sheep with tetanus cannot be fed.

Glucose and saline should be given intravenously; In order to stop acidosis in the body, 5 sodium bicarbonate 200 250 ml can also be given intravenously; In order to eliminate neurological symptoms caused by toxins, 25 mg sulfate of 30 40 ml intravenously can also be used. When an elevated temperature is detected in goats, secondary infections should be noted and antibiotics or sulfonamides can be given as usual and at the same dose.

Inability to stand, difficulty walking, foaming at the mouth, poor eating, and diarrhea; Disinfect the infected area, and then don't let it move, take different care of them, eat more very nutritious and digestible feed in the diet, and give them enough water, and often turn the sheep over.

For sheep tetanus, it cannot stand up, nor can it lie down quickly, its limbs are relatively stiff, it is difficult to eat, and it has diarrhea; If you want to effectively prevent and treat it, you must have good living habits, avoid staying up late, quit smoking and drinking, maintain a light diet, eat a balanced diet, and go to the hospital for relevant diagnosis and treatment when necessary.

The same as the treatment of people: tetanus antitoxin is the mainstay, plus antispasmodic and sedative, and Chinese medicine can use Yuzhensan. However, the price of a sheep is a bit large.

I bought Cistanche at the drugstore, wrapped it tightly in paper, rolled it into a cylindrical shape, lit it like a cigarette, and the smoke blew on the wound of the sheep tetanus, and it worked immediately.

Treatment of tetanus in sheep:

Western medicine**: Fang 1, chlorpromazine deep intramuscular injection per sheep; or 5 6 grams of chloral hydrate mixed into starch slurry and filled. Fang 2, 10 ml of 25% magnesium sulfate, 3 5 ml of nufcaine, mixed and divided into multiple points for intramuscular injection or intravenous injection.

Traditional Chinese medicine**: 8 grams of vitex, Aracea, and parsnip, 6 grams of safflower, zombie silkworm, and whole scorpion, 1 gram of licorice, 5 grams of peppermint and Qianghuo, 3 grams of cinnamon and ephedra, decoction twice with a gastric tube.

**It should be based on neutralizing toxins, antispasmodic, and eliminating pathogens, supplemented by symptomatic**.

1. Neutralize toxins: intravenous injection of anti-tetanus serum, 100,000 units for lambs, 200,000 400,000 units for adult sheep, full serum injection in 3 days, can also be used at one time to use the full amount. At the same time, 40% melotropine, lamb 15 ml, adult sheep 25 ml, intravenous injection, 1 time a day, for 7-10 days.

2. Antispasmodic: 20 ml of 25% magnesium sulfate solution for each sheep, intravenous or intramuscular injection.

3. Eliminate the pathogen: use antitoxin first, and then treat the infected wound. Fully remove pus, foreign bodies, necrotic tissues and scabs in the wound, and if the wound is deep and the wound is small, it needs to be expanded, cleaned with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution or 2% potassium permanganate solution, and then rubbed with 5% to 10% iodine tincture, and sprinkled with iodoform sulfonamide powder in the wound, including 1 part iodoform and 9 parts of sulfonamide.

In addition to the local **, the whole body is injected with 2 million units of penicillin intramuscularly, once a day in the morning and once in the afternoon, for 1 consecutive week.

Tetanus is an acute case caused by trauma and then the passage of the bacterium perfringi from the wound into the body. Are your sheep eligible? If the symptoms are symptomatic, you can use sulfadiazine with some cardiac diuretic drugs**.

40-800,000 units of penicillin and 40-800,000 units of streptomycin are injected intramuscularly twice a day for 1 week.
