Lumbar paralysis of sheep is caused by a kind of filamentous nematode larvae, which is transmitted to sheep by mosquito bites and parasitic in the brain and spinal cavity of sheep, which is characterized by lumbar or hindquarters paralysis. The disease often occurs in the eighth, ninth and thirteenth months of the Gregorian calendar.

First, symptoms

Hindquarters dyskinesia suddenly occurs when sheep are infected with filamentous filamentous larvae. At the beginning, he walks unsteadily, swings, falls easily, and cannot stand up by himself after falling. Can not make a sharp turn and retreat, after the sick sheep lying on the ground can not afford, showing a dog sitting position, forelegs apart, head bent to one side, nystagmus. In severe cases, neurological symptoms can also appear. It can be seen that ankylosing paralysis, sudden ankylosis, limb movement, body temperature, breathing, heartbeat do not change greatly. Some sick sheep graze on their back.

The difference between this disease and rheumatism. The onset of rheumatism is relatively slow, mostly in continuous rain, damp enclosure, and high body temperature. Significant therapeutic effects were achieved with analgin, salicylic acid, prednisone and anti-rheumatic traditional Chinese medicine. The onset of this disease is relatively sudden. And mostly in eight, nine, 13 months, there is no history of rheumatism, with anti-rheumatic Chinese and western medicine treatment is ineffective, should first consider the disease.

II. Treatment

1. Hai Qunsheng. Sheep per kilogram of body weight 10 mg per time, 3 times a day, even for 2 days, can also be given 20 mg at a time for 2-8 days. Marine colonization is effective not only on microfilariae and adults of filamentous nematodes, but also on larvae.

2. Potassium antimony tartrate: sheep are injected intravenously or intramuscularly at 3-5 mg / kg body weight.

3. 0.1% Shachongding injection was subcutaneously injected at 0.2 mg per kilogram of body weight, and the effect was good.

III. Prevention

In the epidemic season of the disease (eight, nine, thirteen months of each year), the above three drugs (optional one) can be given every 3-4 weeks.
