How to judge whether the fox is sick or not when raising foxes

Observation of fecal characteristics: dry stool when constipation occurs, stool is sparse when diarrhea, stool is bloody when hemorrhagic enteritis occurs; when catarrhal gastroenteritis occurs, feces are thin, with incompletely digested feed and exfoliated intestinal mucosal epithelium, and some are mixed with blood, that is, pus and blood stool, the smell is foul.

Appetite and drinking water foxes often show loss of appetite in the early stage of the disease. With the aggravation of the disease, the emergence of anti-food, some hyperactivity phenomenon. When the fox has dysentery and lobar pneumonia, he refuses to eat, but his thirst increases. The normal body temperature of the fox was 38.8 ℃ ~ 39.6 ℃. Those who exceeded the normal body temperature were symptoms. The increase in body temperature is called fever, which is mild fever by 1 ℃ higher than normal body temperature, moderate fever by 2 ℃, and high fever by more than 3 ℃. Some people whose body temperature is lower than normal body temperature are called hypothermia, such as feed poisoning, massive blood loss and so on. Body temperature measurement method: the fox Baoding, first blow the thermometer mercury column back to the original position, apply lubricant and slowly insert from its anus, generally measured 1-3 times a day, can be decided according to the disease. When suffering from proctitis, vaginal temperature can be measured. Visual mucosal examination generally refers to anal, vaginal, oral and other mucosal examination. Pallor is caused by anemia; flushing is caused by hyperemia; yellow staining is a sign of jaundice, more common in liver disease; cyanosis is caused by an increase in the number of reduced hemoglobin in the blood, more common in heart failure, macrocirculatory disorders and other diseases. Cough and nasal juice examination cough is often caused by colds, pneumonia, bronchitis and so on. The emergence of a large amount of nasal juice is often caused by canine distemper and infectious rhinitis. Breathing action observed that the fox breathed 2130 times per minute, the interval of breathing was the same, chest and abdomen breathing, and left and right symmetrical, breathing performance is very peaceful. If the number of breathing, rhythm, breathing mode and so on change, there will be dyspnea.

Urination observation fox urination has a fixed or regular posture, and fixed-point urination. If voiding is hard and restless, and the hind limbs and abdomen are supported on the cage net, it is caused by micturition pain, urethral stones, cystitis and other diseases; voiding incontinence is more common in canine distemper; the frequency of urination is reduced, it is more common in diseases such as nephritis, vomiting, dysentery and so on. If the movement of the fox is found to be uncoordinated, such as static imbalance, shaking, weakness of the limbs, joint flexion, separation of the limbs, or low muscle tension, too high tension of the affected limb, or tension and hardening of the abdominal muscles, and motor paralysis, all reflect the pathological changes of the nervous system.
