What are the rescue methods for allergic reactions in cattle and pigs?
When mass vaccinating cattle against bovine pleuropneumonia and foot-and-mouth disease and using drugs such as antibiotics and sulfonamides, livestock such as cattle and pigs can develop allergic reactions. After an allergic reaction occurs in livestock, edema develops in multiple parts of the body, along with symptoms such as allergic bronchitis and asthmatic bronchopneumonia; in severe cases or if rescue is delayed, it can lead to death.
Russian livestock workers have adopted a method for treating allergic reactions in livestock, which is to inject livestock subcutaneously with a 1% atropine sulfate solution as soon as the first clinical symptoms appear, at a dosage of: per 100 kg of body weight, 1 ml for cattle and 2 ml for pigs. Mild allergic cases can be cured with a single injection; if there is no obvious improvement after 2 hours, the injection can be repeated once.
To further stabilize blood circulation, 200 ml of 10% calcium chloride solution can be mixed with 300 ml of 25% glucose solution and injected intravenously together.
Using the above method, 50 cattle and 20 pigs were treated, and all cases were completely cured.
