How to handle a sick pig that shows no improvement after multiple drug injections

In daily veterinary practice, it is common to encounter sick pigs that have been given multiple symptomatic injections of penicillin, streptomycin, analgin and other drugs without any improvement. We suggest handling the situation as follows:

Basic method: calculated per 30 kg of pig body weight per dose (the same below), dexamethasone sodium phosphate 6 ml, nikethamide 2 ampoules, kanamycin hydrochloride 10 ml, each injected intramuscularly separately.

If coughing and gasping do not stop, use the basic formula plus 3% ephedrine 2 mg injected intramuscularly. After 10 minutes, inject sulfadiazine sodium 0.5 mg intramuscularly.

For sudden paralysis, use the basic formula plus neostigmine 1 ml injected intramuscularly.

If vomiting does not stop, use the basic formula plus metoclopramide hydrochloride 2 ml injected intramuscularly.

If diarrhea does not stop but there is no blood, use the basic formula plus salicylazosulfadiazine injection 10 ml intramuscularly.

If diarrhea does not stop and there is blood, use the basic formula plus metronidazole infusion 20 ml intramuscularly, and after 10 minutes, inject salicylazosulfadiazine injection 10 ml intramuscularly.

If the body surface is bluish-purple and does not fade under finger pressure, and the pig has not eaten for a long time, use the basic formula plus compound vitamin B6 ml injected intramuscularly.

If the feces are dry and hard or cannot be passed, and there is abdominal distension with gas, use the basic formula and additionally administer magnesium sulfate solution orally, 50 g for large pigs, 30 g for medium pigs, and 10 g for small pigs.
