Diagnosis and treatment of common diseases of muskrat

1. A cold

[diagnosis] depressed spirit, unwilling to exercise, loss of appetite and even abandonment, often lying in a corner of the enclosure. Severe runny nose, asthma, elevated body temperature, damp and smelly, some lying motionless in the pool. [treatment] penicillin and antongding were injected.

The diet of diseased rats was reduced or wasted, gradually lost weight, and feces were stained around the tail root and anus. The mortality rate of serious young rats was high. If mixed or secondary bacterial infection, the disease is aggravated, the mortality is also increased. [treatment] put a syringe on one end of the catheter, insert the other end into the anus, and then slowly inject chloramphenicol or chloramphenicol aqueous solution into the rectum.

4. Heatstroke

[diagnosis] often occurs suddenly, extremely depressed, wavering gait, fainting, or lying in a corner. Severe spasms occurred, the body temperature rose to more than 40 ℃, the abdominal circumference was enlarged, and immediately died of shock. [treatment] cool shade, pour cold water to cool down. Hypodermic injection of camphor oil.

5. Muskrat colibacillosis

[diagnosis] in the early stage of the epidemic, because it is not easy to see prodromal symptoms in the pool, most mice (mainly bred rats) often get sick suddenly and die quickly. In the middle and later stages of the epidemic, it can be found that the diseased rats lost their appetite, unable to move after landing, dysentery, and serious hematochezia. [treatment] injection of gentamicin or kanamycin or chloramphenicol. Take quinolinol and inject gentamicin every other day.

6. Muskrat paratyphoid fever

[diagnosis] most of the young rats showed acute type, sudden onset, elevated body temperature, and often died within one week. The subacute diseased mice showed lethargy, refusing to eat, curled up in a corner, conjunctival inflammation, diarrhea, hindlimb paralysis and death. Chronic mice developed dementia, inactivity, loss of appetite, weight loss, mild dysentery, the course of disease for several weeks, and finally died of exhaustion. [treatment] take tetracycline or oxytetracycline. Or feed with furanone mixture.

7. Muskrat pasteurellosis

[diagnosis] Acute diseased mice showed depression, inactivity, anorexia, nasal discharge, dyspnea, severe dysentery, hindlimb paralysis, and died after 2-3 days. The chronic type shows progressive emaciation, conjunctivitis, dysentery and difficulty in movement. In addition, there is a subcutaneous abscess type, accounting for about 40% of diseased mice, the course of disease is about 2 weeks, and most of them die. [treatment] injection of sulfadiazine or carbothiazole, or intramuscular injection of penicillin, streptomycin and chloramphenicol.

8. Muskrat hare fever

[diagnosis] enlarged lymph nodes on the body surface, followed by suppuration and ulceration. Elevated body temperature, loss of appetite, difficulty breathing, and some coughing. In the later stage of the epidemic, most of the cases showed chronic type, loss of appetite, gradual weight loss, and occasional enlargement of body surface lymph nodes. [treatment] streptomycin, or oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline and chloramphenicol were used.

9. Klebsiella

This is followed by dysphagia and dyspnea, dyskinesia, ruptured abscess or metastatic septicemia. The course of disease ranged from 15 to 20 days, and most of them died. [treatment] incision of local abscess, disinfection with hydrogen peroxide after discharge, and then spread anti-inflammatory powder and fungicides. Inject gentamicin.

10. Muskrat enterotoxemia

[diagnosis] most of the sick mice showed extreme depression, squatting alone, scrapping food, abdominal enlargement, severe hindlimb paralysis or bloody stool, resulting in death. [treatment] take chloramphenicol and use antibiotics and antiserum for emergency prevention.

11. Taize's disease of muskrat

[diagnosis] the younger the mouse is, the more obvious the symptoms are and the higher the mortality is. In the early stage of the epidemic, he often died suddenly, occasionally with dysentery and depression. The chronically diseased mice developed diarrhea and emaciation and died after 1-2 weeks. [treatment] the diseased rats can be treated with cephalosporin or tetracycline.

12. Chlamydia trachomatis muskrat disease
