Lamb

Etiology: first, ewes are raised extensively during pregnancy. Especially in the later stage of pregnancy, the lack of nutrients in feed, lack of protein, minerals, vitamins and so on, directly affect the growth and development of sheep fetus and the quality of breast milk. Second, improper feeding of lactating ewes and lambs, damage to lambs, irregular, quantitative and fixed temperature of artificial lactation. Third, toxic dyspepsia is mostly transformed from simple dyspepsia.

Symptoms: simple dyspepsia: normal or slightly lower body temperature, mild diarrhea, thinning of feces. With the passage of time, the feces become gray-yellow or gray-green, in which mixed bubbles and yellow-white milk clots, the smell is sour and smelly. The sound between intestines is bright, abdominal distension, abdominal pain. Hyperactivity of heart sound, rapid heartbeat and breathing. Diarrhea continues, dehydration occurs in severe cases, skin elasticity decreases and the coat is glossy. The eyeball collapses, the stand is unstable, the whole body trembles.

Toxic indigestion: the sick lamb is depressed in spirit, has no eyes, has no appetite, is weak, can not afford to lie on the ground, and has a backward head and neck. Elevated body temperature, general tremors or spasms. Severe diarrhea, mixed mucus and blood in feces, rotten smell, flabby anus, and defecation incontinence. The eyeball collapses and the skin is inelastic. The heart sound becomes weak, the rhythm is irregular, the pulse is weak, and the breathing is superficial. In the later stage of the disease, the body temperature dropped, the limbs and ears were cold, until the coma died.

Or take sulfonamide 0.5 g for the first time and 0.2 g for maintenance twice a day for 3 days.
