What if the cow has difficulty breathing?

When raising cattle, we often encounter situations in which it is difficult for cows to breathe, some with a rise in body temperature, and some with unknown fluids. When cattle have inexplicable difficulty in breathing, it can seriously lead to death, so what should be done in these situations? Well, first of all, we need to know what causes it. Below, the pro-agricultural network will introduce to you several causes and solutions of cow breathing difficulties.

1. Bovine anthrax

This is an acute septic infectious disease, which is extremely contagious and harmful. it will lead to a decrease in the blood oxygen delivery capacity of cattle, and some mucus will be secreted from the organs to hinder the breathing of cattle, and the body temperature will generally rise. in severe cases, there will be bleeding in the position of the cow's mouth and nose. After discovering the above situation, it is best to isolate first, and then disinfect the barn, for the sick cattle should be injected in time, anti-anthrax serum or antibiotics have a certain curative effect, but the former is relatively better and more targeted.

2. Bovine pneumonia

Bovine pneumonia is also a relatively easy disease, the symptoms are obvious, it is mainly caused by inflammation of the lungs, which leads to a series of symptoms. At the beginning of the disease, cattle will make some abnormal sounds from time to time, and then slowly have difficulty breathing. In the middle and later stage, the nose and mouth are protected by linear transparent mucus, the secretions in the corners of the eyes increase, and it looks like the whole cow will be very depressed. Penicillin can be injected at the initial stage, and in severe cases, Huanglian jiedu tablets and injection of ribavirin or antitussive factor are required for treatment.

3. Diphtheria calf

This is often caused by worsening inflammation of the throat, which is caused by a hard cut on the throat of a cow, followed by infection and inflammation. At first, the cow will eat less, and as the throat becomes inflamed and swollen and finally squeezed into the organs, the mucus secreted will infiltrate into the organs, making it more and more difficult for the cow to breathe. Swelling can be clearly found on both sides of the cow's head. In severe cases, the gas breathed by cattle will have a foul smell, which is still rotten inside. First of all, use anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation, then inject sulfonamides with penicillin, and then give cattle some nutritious drugs to improve their resistance such as glucose. In severe cases, it is best to remove the necrotic part of the cow.

4. Sinusitis

This is mostly caused by external factors, which are generally caused by some external objects entering the nasal cavity, causing inflammation of the nose or secreting mucus and then causing difficulty in breathing. The situations that are easy to cause are as follows: some grass shavings or daily worms accidentally enter the nasal cavity and get stuck inside, which will damage the epidermis of the cow's nose, leading to inflammation and even bleeding. The first step is to do surgery to remove the foreign body, and then inject anti-inflammatory drugs such as penicillin.

It is best to check the symptoms of dyspnea in cattle to see what causes it. After all, there are many diseases that cause this situation, and the consequences of wrong medication are more serious. Every day, we should also do more prevention, vaccines and so on must be injected in place.
