What does esophageal obstruction look like in sheep?

If it is a brittle blockage and the blockage is tight, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, apples, etc., this method can be adopted**. The sick sheep is in a side-lying position in Baoding, the head is cushioned, and then several layers of soft cloth are laid on the obstructed part, and the wood is placed below, pay attention to avoid the trachea, and then use a small wooden hammer to evenly hit the obstruction, when the foreign body is broken, it can be poured into 50ml of liquid paraffin oil through the gastric cannula, and then push the broken object into the stomach with the gastric cannula. Pumping.

If the esophageal obstruction of the sick sheep is lower and more severe, this method is appropriate**. Insert one end of the gastric tube into the esophageal obstruction of the sick sheep, then firmly pinch the connection between the gastric tube and the esophagus with your hand, connect the intake of the bicycle pump with the external port of the gastric tube, and then carry out appropriate inflation to promote the esophagus to expand significantly due to inflation below the hand pinch, so that the foreign body moves down to the stomach. The onset of the disease is rapid, the intake suddenly stops, the head is tilted and the neck is raised, the neck is extremely restless, the mouth and nose are foaming, and the gastric tube is probed with a gastric catheter, and the gastric tube cannot pass through the obstruction.

Due to rumination and belching, rumen gas is often secondary. Diagnosis is confirmed by probing a gastric tube and x-ray. If the obstruction is on the neck, it can be felt by palpation on the outside of the hand.

When incomplete obstruction occurs in sick sheep, this method can be adopted regardless of the level of the obstruction. Sick sheep can usually be injected under the neck with 2ml hyoscyamine hydrochloride, 5ml of 3% procaine, pay attention to the area around the esophageal obstruction to take a point injection, and then through the oral cavity into 50ml of liquid paraffin oil, usually within 1-2h of the drug the blockage can slide into the stomach, if after 2h still does not slide down, it is necessary to cooperate with the push method**. Extraction method.

Choose a new iron wire of length, pay attention to its proper thickness, the diameter is preferred, and the softness and hardness are moderate, and copper wire, steel wire, etc. can not be used instead of new iron wire. Wipe the new wire with a clean towel to remove the barbs on its surface, then fold the wire in half, bend it into a spoon-like collar of corresponding size according to the size and shape of the esophageal obstruction of the sick sheep, and apply medical alcohol for disinfection. Use a sling to bind and hang the sick sheep under the chest and behind the abdomen, and then inject an appropriate amount of Jingsongling injection into the muscle according to the size of the body weight, generally about 5mgjkg according to the body weight.

The head of the sick sheep is tied to the bar with a rope, and the obstruction in the neck is pushed forward, and the mouth is opened using an opener. The veterinarian puts the left glove in the wire spoon, slowly reaches through the mouth, makes sure that the wire loop reaches under the blockage, uses the spoon-shaped wire to secure the blockage, and then pulls out the blockage with both hands together, and if it is not successful at one time, it can be operated multiple times. <>

Esophageal obstruction is also called esophageal obstruction. Swallowing disorder occurs when food or a foreign body suddenly becomes blocked in the esophageal bush. According to the degree and location of the disease, the disease is divided into complete obstruction and incomplete obstruction, as well as pharyngeal, neck, and thoracic obstruction.

One**. It is mainly caused by sheep grabbing food, greedy for a large mouthful of food or foreign bodies, and swallowing without chewing, or grazing in the garbage dump, sheep eat vegetable roots, radish, plastic bags to rent cherry, plastic film and other obstructive food or foreign bodies. Secondary obstruction occurs during heterophilia (nutrient deficiency), esophageal stricture, dilation, diverticulum, paralysis, spasticity, and inflammation.

2. Symptoms and diagnosis.

The onset of the disease is rapid, feeding stops suddenly, the head is tilted and the neck is raised, the neck is extremely restless, and the mouth and nose are foaming at the mouth. Probing with a gastric catheter, the gastric tube cannot pass through the obstruction. Due to rumination and belching, rumen gas is often secondary.

Diagnosis is confirmed by probing a gastric tube and x-ray. If the obstruction is on the neck, it can be felt by palpation on the outside of the hand.

3. Prevention and control. Emergency measures should be taken to remove the obstruction. **During the process, the lumen of the esophagus should be smoothed to relieve spasm and eliminate obstructions.

**If there is secondary gas, rumen deflation can be performed to prevent suffocation. If the obstruction belongs to the forage mass, the sheep can be kept well, sent into the gastric tube, sucked water with a rubber ball, injected into the gastric tube, and then sucked out, and repeatedly flushed the obstructed food bolus until the esophagus is unobstructed. If the blockage is not large and the blockage is in the cardia part, 10ml of paraffin oil and 10ml of 2 procaine should be put into the stomach tube first, which is smooth and antispasmodic, and then sent into the rumen with a gastric tube.

Smashing method, if the blockage is in the neck, the blockage is fragile, you can put the sheep on the ground, put the cloth sole on the face of the ground, and hit it with a fist or wooden gas to break the blockage.
