What are the treatment methods for common diseases in deer?

1. Dystocia

Treatment: Strengthen scientific feeding and management of pregnant does. And create a relatively quiet birthing environment; when dystocia occurs, assist the birth promptly.

2. Gastrointestinal catarrh and gastroenteritis

Treatment: Pay attention to feed and drinking water hygiene, and prevent sudden changes in feed, etc. Use 5% glucose for intravenous injection, and add sulfonamides, urotropine, and Analgin injection to the intravenous fluid.

3. Rumen impaction and acute rumen tympany

Treatment: Stop feeding, but do not restrict drinking water. Sodium chloride can be injected intravenously; for acute rumen tympany, the better treatment method is to release gas with a trocar.

4. Tuberculosis

Treatment: Strengthen hygiene management of deer herd feeding, and isolate and disinfect affected deer. Vaccinate newborn fawns and growing deer with BCG vaccine. Treatment of deer that have already developed this disease is of little significance, and early culling is advisable.

5. Necrobacillosis

Treatment: Maintain hygiene inside the enclosure, and set up footbaths containing 3% Lysol, 10% copper sulfate solution, 3% potassium permanganate solution, etc.

6. Brucellosis

Treatment: Conduct regular quarantine and disinfection, and pay even more attention to handling the delivery room and the secretions of does. Vaccination with Brucella melitensis strain 5 vaccine can be carried out.

7. Pasteurellosis

Treatment: Clean and disinfect; the efficacy of administering sulfonamides is relatively good, and at the same time provide cardiac support and fluid replacement.

8. Deer enterotoxemia

Treatment: Inject glucose intravenously into affected deer, along with Nikethamide, streptomycin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, and vitamins B and C.

9. Poisoning diseases

Treatment: First, understand the circumstances of onset, race against time, administer acidic or alkaline drugs orally, and adopt dilution methods, namely intravenous injection of glucose solution, compound sodium chloride solution, etc.; to eliminate toxins, administer purgatives, and to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa, administer mucilaginous agents or adsorbents.

10. Fawn diarrhea

Treatment: Administer oxytetracycline powder, lactasin, pepsin, vitamins, and bismuth subnitrate orally.

11. Navel inflammation in fawns

Treatment: First use penicillin and streptomycin for intramuscular injection, administer sulfamethoxazole orally, flush the local area with hydrogen peroxide, then apply iodine tincture or gentian violet. If the umbilical area is necrotic, remove the necrotic tissue and fragments, and sprinkle an equal-amount powder of iodoform and boric acid.

12. Licking the anus of fawns and tail biting

Treatment: Administer streptomycin, tannic acid protein, medicinal charcoal, and sulfaguanidine orally to the fawn being licked.

13. Rickets in young deer

Treatment: To prevent this disease, high-quality green fodder rich in vitamins should be given during the gestation and lactation periods of does. The deer shed should be dry and sunny, the deer herd should be kept small, and the fawn herd should be driven frequently to increase the amount of exercise for the fawns. Feed a mixture of calcium carbonate, bone meal, or eggshell powder, administer cod liver oil, and inject vitamin D colloidal calcium intramuscularly.
