Shoveling shit officials to understand: dogs, cats eat metamorphic food poisoning symptoms and treatment methods?

Metamorphic food poisoning refers to the poisoning caused by dogs and cats after eating spoiled food. During the holiday meal, the host or guest feeds in large quantities or the dogs and cats eat a lot of meat and fish food, and the microorganisms in the intestinal tract can also multiply in large numbers and produce enterotoxins, causing "self-poisoning syndrome" in dogs and cats. Endotoxin is usually combined with enterotoxin to cause poisoning in dogs and cats. So what are the symptoms and treatments of spoiled food poisoning in dogs and cats? Let's learn about it.

First, the main symptoms.

Dogs and cats generally vomited within 0.1-3 hours after eating spoiled food, and recovered after vomiting spoiled food. Patients with severe poisoning have diarrhea, blood in stool, tension in the abdominal wall and pain caused by touch pressure. Then intestinal peristalsis weakens, intestinal inflation, abdominal distension, more conducive to the growth and reproduction of Gram-negative bacteria, the release of endotoxin, so that the disease further worsened, and even endotoxin shock.

Endotoxin poisoning, body temperature often rises 2-24 hours after feeding, vomiting, diarrhea and drainage-like stool occur at the same time. The abdomen is dilated, the abdominal wall is tense and the pressure is painful. The refilling time of capillaries was prolonged, the heartbeat increased, the pulse was weak, mental trance, and finally shock. Laboratory tests showed that leukocytes and neutrophils decreased, polymorphonuclear cells increased, and blood sugar increased.

Second, the treatment method.

There is no specific drug treatment for metamorphic food poisoning. The general treatment methods are as follows:

1. General detoxification measures

In the early stage of the disease, vomiting is conducive to the discharge of spoiled food, and antiemetic drugs can only be used after vomiting. Such as diphenhydramine hydrochloride 0.5~2mg per kg body weight intramuscular injection, per kg body weight 2~5mg oral, 2 or 3 times a day. Tea diphenamine per kilogram of body weight 1~1.5mg, intramuscular or hypodermic injection. When using antiemetic drugs, you should also use adsorbents, such as medicinal charcoal 10~20mg per kg body weight, or white clay 10~15mg per kg body weight, three times a day.

two。 Stop diarrhea

At the initial stage of diarrhea, do not stop diarrhea. Use antidiarrheal drugs only after the intestinal contents are basically emptied. Such as atropine sulfate (0.3~1mg in dogs, 0.05mg per kilogram of body weight in cats, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection), scopolamine hydrobromide (every 0.1~0.3mg in dogs, subcutaneous injection).

3. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory

In order to prevent intestinal bacteria from continuing to grow and produce toxins, broad-spectrum antibiotics (such as gentamicin, tetracycline, etc.) were used to inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria.

4. Maintain water, electrolyte and acid-base balance

Intravenous infusion, replenish water and electrolytes, regulate acid-base imbalance. In the case of oliguria or anuria, mannitol was added to the infusion at 1g / kg of body weight.

5. Prevent shock

Use corticosteroids, such as intravenous or intramuscular dexamethasone, or prednisone or prednisolone.

6. Pay attention to your diet

Feed dogs and cats reasonably and scientifically, do not feed dogs and cats with spoiled food, and do not allow dogs and cats to eat too much fish and meat.
