What injection should be given to a paralyzed sow? The condition must first be clearly identified before treating the symptoms

AbstractA paralyzed sow can only be treated after the condition has been diagnosed. After paralysis occurs, it needs to be discovered early, diagnosed early and treated early. If the condition is mild, VD3 can be injected intramuscularly at a dose of about 6-8 mg, once every 3 days, for 3-5 consecutive injections; if the condition is severe, vitamin D colloidal calcium can be injected intramuscularly at a dose of about 5-10 ml, once a day, for about 3 consecutive days.

I. What injection should be given after a sow is paralyzed

1. After a sow is paralyzed, an appropriate treatment plan should be chosen according to the sow's condition. For sows with a relatively mild condition, human-use VD3 can be injected intramuscularly at 6 to 8 mg, once every 3 days, for 3-5 consecutive injections, and crushed calcium tablets can be added to the feed.

2. If the sow's symptoms are relatively severe, vitamin D colloidal calcium can be injected intramuscularly at 5 to 10 ml per sow, once a day, for 3 to 5 consecutive days. In addition, apply strong liquor or camphor spirit to the skin and massage manually to promote blood circulation and restore the sow's nerve function.

II. Causes, symptoms and treatment plans of sow paralysis

1. Wind paralysis

(1) Cause: Sows are prone to paralysis before and after farrowing, called postpartum wind paralysis or postpartum cold.

(2) Symptoms: The symptoms at this time are that the sow cannot walk, has great difficulty feeding, and secretes very little milk.

(3) Treatment plan: During feeding, avoid improper feeding management, breeding the sow at too early an age, incomplete development and other such aspects.

2. Milk paralysis

(1) Cause: Because of insufficient calcium and phosphorus in the sow, or when the pen where it lives is damp and dark with insufficient exercise and sunlight, paralysis can also occur. This condition is called milk paralysis.

(2) Symptoms: Milk paralysis manifests as lameness and being unable to get up after lying down. If symptoms of milk paralysis appear, breeding must not be carried out at this time, otherwise fractures will occur.

(3) Treatment plan: At this time, the sow needs to be supplemented with sufficient calcium and phosphorus. Each sow needs about 30-50 grams of bone meal and stone meal per day. At the same time, attention should be paid to the ratio of calcium to phosphorus. If its daily food lacks phosphorus, increase bran to supplement phosphorus; if phosphorus intake is too high, supplement calcium appropriately.

III. What aspects should be noted when a sow is paralyzed

1. Paralysis does not always mean the same illness. After a sow is paralyzed, it should be diagnosed as early as possible, and only after diagnosis can the right medicine be given.

2. There are many causes of paralysis. After paralysis symptoms appear, it is recommended to prick its skin with a needle to see how severe the condition is, and at the same time ensure the environmental hygiene in the pen.

3. The course of postpartum paralysis develops very quickly and treatment must be given in time, otherwise it will lead to death from heart failure.

4. After a sow is paralyzed, besides affecting itself, it also has a direct impact on the piglets, so special attention should be paid during the breeding process to prevent it before it happens.

5. Before farrowing, the sow's nutrition must be ensured, with more foods high in calcium, more sun exposure, maintained exercise and so on. Therefore, for this type of illness, daily prevention outweighs subsequent treatment.
