Treatment of bovine epistaxis

Bovine nosebleed belongs to blood syndrome in veterinary clinical practice is a rare case, not often encountered, slight small bleeding after timely treatment can stop bleeding, and frequent or long-term malignant nosebleed can not be ignored, it is also relatively difficult to deal with, let's take a look at the treatment of bovine nosebleed!

Symptoms of bovine nosebleed

The main results are as follows: 1. bright red blood flows from one or both nostrils of affected cattle, which is characterized by no air bubbles or only a small number of air bubbles. Severe or long-term bleeding can lead to physical weakness, mental tiredness, heavy breathing, tachycardia, dilated pupils, pallid visual mucosa, and even shock.

2. Epistaxis can be divided into two forms: general small bleeding and malignant bleeding. In general, small bleeding can have a hemostatic effect after timely physical, surgical and drug hemostatic treatment, and the possibility of recurrence is small. Malignant bleeding often shows intermittent bleeding, and the interval period is getting shorter and shorter, more and more frequent. Bleeding is also more and more serious, conventional treatment is difficult to achieve results, and treatment is more difficult.

The cause of bovine nosebleed

1. Primary diseases are often caused by trauma, foreign bodies, parasites, ulcers, tumors and systemic diseases with hemorrhagic quality.

2. Blood heat is in vain, but qi does not take blood. Exogenous heat evil, or deficiency fire endogenesis, can force the blood to misbehave, leave the vein, and bleed. As Jingyue Quanshu said, "most people are forced to do blood because of fire," lack of nutrition, or labor injury, or after a long illness, the spleen and stomach are weak and have no right to control, so blood bleeds away from the meridians and collaterals. As Jingyue Quanshu said, "most people are injured because of qi, and if qi is injured, the blood has nothing to hide."

3, long-term dry climate, less water molecules in the air, such as cattle exposed to the hot sun for a long time, nasal mucosa dryness and cracking can cause capillary rupture and bleeding.

4. weak and sickly, or seriously ill for a long time, the cattle are treated with drugs such as inhibiting prothrombin synthesis, platelet adhesion and aggregation, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which can cause drug-induced bleeding.

Prevention and treatment of bovine nosebleed

1. Physiotherapy: at the initial stage of nosebleed, the affected cow is placed in a cool enclosure or place in the shade to let it stand or lie quietly. In general, small bleeding can first be poured with well water or cold tap water to cool the head and neck, and cold compress with ice bags on the forehead and nose until the bleeding is reduced and stopped.

2. Surgical hemostasis: when physical methods are used to treat epistaxis with little or no effect, surgical methods should be taken to stop bleeding in time. First of all, check and determine the bleeding site, whether it is unilateral or bilateral epistaxis, deep or shallow, what is the condition of the nasal mucosal wound. If the bleeding site is shallow and the nasal mucosal fissure is small, you can use hemostatic forceps to hold sterilized cotton or gauze and press the wound 5-10min each time to stop bleeding repeatedly until the bleeding stops completely. If the bleeding site is shallow, the nasal mucosal fissure is larger. Consider the wound suture, packing, sealing and other measures to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding site is too deep to be operated by surgical methods, consider dripping 50000 adrenaline into the nasal cavity or filling the gauze strips impregnated with hemostatic solution into the nasal cavity until the bleeding foci are completely stopped.

3. Drug hemostasis: with the combination of physical and surgical hemostasis, intramuscular injection of hemostatic agents such as hemostatic sensitive, Anluo blood, Vk and other hemostatic drugs can achieve good hemostatic effect. For those with long bleeding time and large amount of bleeding and the tendency of collapse symptoms such as physical weakness and mental burnout, they should be given timely replenishment of body fluids and energy, combined with intravenous injection of 10% calcium chloride, Vc and other drugs.

4. Heat clearing and hemostasis: for exogenous heat evil, or blood heat caused by deficiency fire, cattle with intermittent frequent malignant bleeding should be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, clearing heat and purging fire, cooling blood and stopping bleeding in time according to the course of treatment. Shiheisan can be used in traditional Chinese medicine prescription (30g of Anemarrhena anemarrhena, 30g of Cortex Phellodendri, 30g of Sanguisorba officinalis, 30g of Puhuang, 20g of Gardenia jasminoides, 20g of Flos Sophorae, 20g of leaves of Platycladus orientalis, 20g of charcoal, 20g of Eucommia ulmoides, 15g of palm bark, except for blood ash.

5. Preventive measures: during the rehabilitation period of affected cattle, according to the actual situation, preventive treatment such as gold vitamins (including Vk3, VD3, folic acid, etc.), rhubarb soda powder and calcium agents can be added to the diet or drinking water to strengthen daily feeding and nursing, rest and recuperation, shade and heat prevention, etc.
