What are the common diseases of foxes and raccoon dogs during gestation and the whelping period?
Foxes and raccoon dogs have now entered the critical stage of gestation and whelping since the spring estrus and mating, and a series of changes have taken place in their physiological functions, making them extremely sensitive to external stimuli, so the incidence of disease is very high. Recently many readers have consulted us on this matter. In response, the editor has specially invited Professor Hua Shufang of the Institute of Special Animal and Plant Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, to give an introduction to the prevention and treatment of common diseases of foxes and raccoon dogs during gestation and the whelping and lactation period. 1. What are the manifestations of gastroenteritis during gestation and the whelping period, and how is it prevented and treated? Answer: During gestation and the whelping period, the

Detailed Explanation of the Characteristics and Diagnostic Methods of Donkey Diseases
Characteristics of Donkey Diseases Donkeys and horses are animals of the same genus but different species. Therefore, the biological characteristics and physiological structure of donkeys are basically similar to those of horses. However, there are also considerable differences between them, so the manifestations of diseases also differ. The types of diseases that donkeys suffer from, whether internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics, infectious diseases and parasitic diseases, are all similar to those of horses, such as the common gastric dilation, constipation, colic, strangles, etc. Because of the biological characteristics of donkeys, they differ from horses in disease resistance, clinical manifestations and responses to drugs.

A Detailed Guide to the Application of Antibiotics in the Treatment of Snake Diseases
Antibiotics, originally called antibacterials, are metabolic products of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes. At very low concentrations they can inhibit or kill pathogenic microorganisms and systemic bacterial infections. They are one of the commonly used and indispensable high-efficiency drugs in clinical practice, and are equally applicable to the prevention and treatment of snake diseases. Practice has proven that injecting antibiotics into snake bait can not only prevent snake diseases, but also improve snake metabolism, promote growth, and raise the survival rate or feed conversion rate. Commonly used antibiotics include penicillin, erythromycin, cephalosporin, chlor

Identification and Control Methods of Scorpion Mold Disease
This disease is caused by green mold parasitizing and multiplying inside the scorpion's body, and it usually occurs in summer when the environment is damp and the relative air humidity is high. Symptoms of affected scorpions are as follows: in the early stage of the disease, the scorpion is extremely restless and irritable, and small yellowish-brown or reddish-brown mold spots often appear on the sternites and the anterior abdomen, which spread and expand into patches. The scorpion's growth stalls, its activity decreases, it becomes sluggish, stops eating, and may even die, with its body filled with green mold-like mycelium that forms fungal masses. Control methods: the food dish and water dish used for feeding scorpions should be washed and scrubbed clean regularly; keep the environment clean and hygienic

Mastiff Epidemic Report Released, Breeders Need to Pay Attention to Dog Health
When a legally designated infectious disease under national regulations occurs, the epidemic situation should be promptly reported to the higher-level competent business department, including the time and place of onset, the number of affected and dead animals, clinical symptoms, necropsy changes, preliminary diagnosis, etc. At the same time, appropriate prevention, control and eradication measures should be taken, and when necessary, neighboring areas or units should be notified so as to jointly carry out prevention and control. Before a diagnosis is made, dogs suspected of carrying infectious diseases should be isolated and placed under the care of specially assigned personnel; the places where dead dogs stayed as well as contaminated environments, equipment, etc. should be thoroughly disinfected; the carcasses of dead dogs should be kept intact pending examination; sick dogs must not be arbitrarily emergency-slaughtered without the consent of veterinary quarantine.

Symptoms and Prevention and Treatment Methods of Rheumatic Disease in Dogs
Rheumatic disease is an acute or chronic non-suppurative inflammation that often recurs; it most commonly affects the muscles, joints, and heart. It occurs relatively often in dogs. [Etiology] The cause of rheumatic disease is still unclear, but it is currently believed to be an autoimmune disease. That is, the hemolytic streptococcus that invades the body of a sick dog can cause the body to produce corresponding antibodies. When certain predisposing factors exist that cause streptococcus to invade the body again, the invading streptococcus, as an antigenic substance, combines with the anti-streptococcal antibodies present in the body to form an antigen-

Detailed Guide to Controlling the Three Major Diseases of Onions and Garlic
I. Purple blotch. It mainly affects chives, Welsh onions, garlic, onions, and Chinese chives, and is a major disease of Welsh onions and garlic, with leaves and flower stalks being the main affected parts. The lesions are initially water-soaked, grayish white, slightly sunken, and later expand into oval or spindle shapes, becoming purplish brown. When humidity is high, the diseased area produces black mold layers arranged in concentric rings. In severe cases, it causes leaves and stalks to die or break over. The disease occurs severely under warm, humid conditions or when there is a lack of fertilizer and drought. Fields with sandy soil, dry land, and severe thrips damage have severe disease incidence.

Symptoms and Control Methods of Brooklynella Disease in Lionfish
Pathogen: This parasite belongs to the genus Scyphidia (family Scyphidiidae, order Sessilida) found in grouper. In side view, the dorsal side is convex and the ventral side is flat; in ventral view, the body is oval or egg-shaped, measuring 45-80 x 29-53 um. The anterior ventral surface has a circular cytostome that can extend and retract. Cilia are present on the anterior part of the body and the anterior edge of the dorsal side. Behind the macronucleus there is a petal-like structure resembling a flower. This parasite reproduces by division. Epidemiology: The disease is prevalent in hot weather and mainly affects fry measuring 20-50 mm. Water temperature above 25 degrees C. In high

Key Technical Points for Disease Prevention and Control in Pollution-Free Fish Farming
Symbiosis of plants and animals: When aquatic plants and fish live together in the same pond, the fish rarely get sick. The aquatic plants planted in the fish pond are rice or lotus roots, arranged in an east-west direction, with wide row spacing (greater than 33 cm), occupying no more than 50% of the total water area so that the lighting effect is good. The water depth depends on the water tolerance of the aquatic plants; for rice it is generally within 30 cm, and for lotus roots it can generally reach more than 50 cm. The farmed fish can be conventional species or famous, special and improved new varieties. The farming method can be seedling breeding or adult fish farming. Because residual bait, fish feces and so on are deposited

What are the common disease prevention and treatment methods for the golden coin turtle?
During the rearing of golden coin turtles, deteriorating pond water, excessively high stocking density, mixed rearing of large and small turtles, improper feeding, cold damage and heat damage and other causes often lead to illness or death of the turtles. 1. Red neck disease Pathogen: It is an infectious disease; its pathogen may be a virus, or it may be an Aeromonas bacterium. Symptoms: This disease mostly occurs in the plum rain season. Sick turtles show red spots on the abdomen, swelling of the throat and neck, an elongated neck that cannot be retracted, slow movement, reduced appetite and dulled responses. In severe cases
