What medicine does swollen piggy leg use? The effect of cephalosporin combined with it is doubled.

At present, the swollen joint of nursing piglets is one of the most common clinical symptoms in pig farms. At present, the main infectious diseases leading to joint enlargement of piglets are Haemophilus parasuis, streptococcus suis and erysipelas. Haemophilus parasuis and Streptococcus suis are the most common diseases.

Although both of them can cause swollen joints in pigs, Haemophilus parasuis is Gram-negative bacilli, while Streptococcus is Gram-positive cocci, and their sensitive antibiotics are very different, so how to differentiate and diagnose these two diseases and choose specific drugs is the focus of diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

01

Judging from the symptoms of joint swelling

Although both Streptococcus and Haemophilus parasuis can cause swollen joints of piglets, they can also be easily distinguished from their swollen appearance.

1. Accessory pigs may cause swelling of the whole limb hoof, and the hammer ball is mainly manifested in the enlarged joints.

two。 The swollen effusion of accessory pigs is serous protein exudate, the body temperature of touch does not rise, and the pain of hand pinching is severe. The swollen fluid of the hammer ball was pus, and showed the changes of softening and temperature rising in the early stage and the later stage.

3. Dissection of swollen joints shows that accessory pigs are mostly jelly-like secretions, while hammer balls are purulent secretions, and sometimes yellow-and-white cheese-like lumps can be found.

02

Postmortem symptoms

In the death caused by accessory pigs, there is generally no color change on the body surface of pigs. The body surface of the death caused by hammer is blue-purple, especially in the neck, jaw, abdomen and extremities.

03

Anatomical symptoms

Accessory pigs have a typical villous heart, that is, the heart shows a large amount of fibrinous exudation, pleural and peritoneal effusion increased, and in severe cases, the whole abdominal cavity is surrounded by yellow-white cellulosic exudates.

Hammer can cause splenomegaly and hyperemia, and there is less fibrous exudate in the abdominal cavity. Generally, a yellow-white cheese-like mass can be found after careful search. There are yellow-and-white cheese-like lumps in the joint cavity.

Treatment scheme

Haemophilus parasuis:

1. Use sensitive antibiotics, such as ceftiofur sodium, enrofloxacin, amikacin, gentamicin and other sensitive drugs, combined with Houttuynia cordata injection;

2. Use furosemide to reduce cellulose exudation and relieve symptoms.

Streptococcosis:

1. Use sensitive antibiotics such as amoxicillin, ceftiofur sodium, lincomycin, sulfonamides and so on. Cooperate with Houttuynia cordata injection;

2, with anti-inflammatory drugs: flunisine meglumine, aspirin and so on.

Similarly, if the incidence of piglet arthritis is relatively high, the corresponding powder mixture can be selected when the piglets are weaned, and a good preventive effect can be achieved after weaning for 7-10 days.

Houttuynia cordata injection:

Houttuynia cordata Thunb has the functions of heat-clearing and detoxification, abscess elimination, diuresis and purulence. Used in swollen joints of piglets, the effect of eliminating carbuncle and purulent pus can promote the reabsorption of cellulose or purulent exudates in the joint cavity, and the effect of diuresis is similar to furosemide and anti-inflammatory drugs, reducing the exudation of cellulose and purulent secretions, thus effectively relieving symptoms, coupled with the important role of heat-clearing and detoxification, ceftiofur combined with Houttuynia cordata can play a good therapeutic role in clinical joint swelling piglets.
