What drug works fastest for acute panting in piglets?

For piglet panting, based on my clinical experience, my suggestion is to use the approach of "treat the surface when acute, treat the root when chronic" to solve this problem.

1. First, make one thing clear: high body temperature in piglets can cause panting, so you must first rule out the possibility that it is not caused by high temperature before moving on to point two. If it is caused by excessively high body temperature, simply use a common antipyretic to bring the temperature down and that will do; no need to read the rest!

2. It can be seen from your description of "acute panting" that it is fairly urgent, so we should first relieve the surface symptoms. For severe panting, I personally think the first choice should be aminophylline.

Aminophyllinecan rapidly relieve intense contraction of smooth muscle, has a smooth muscle relaxing effect, and also has a cardiotonic effect and a weak effect of eliminating pulmonary edema (of course, this effect is not as strong as furosemide)This can temporarily calm the piglet's breathing!

When the piglet's breathing is relatively calm, that is, when the pig is temporarily out of danger,it does not mean the piglet is fine. You still need to trace it to its source and find the root cause fortreatment。

1. If few in the herd are affected, only one or two, you can rule out an epidemic, and then it is relatively easy. Consider that it is caused by a bacterial disease, so when we are not sure, we can consider a broad-coverage plan to solve it.

Bacteria are divided into Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria, so we choose amoxicillin (mainly for Gram-positive bacteria) + dexamethasone. For the respiratory tract, we can choose florfenicol, which has relatively good effect and is effective against Gram-negative bacteria (amikacin, etc.).

2. If many in the herd are affected, then it is hard to say. There are too many things involved, and you need to look at the pigs on site to determine it. It cannot be solved with just a few casual words. If anyone can do that, then you should not raise pigs anymore; just become their apprentice and learn from them, and your future will be boundless!

Generally, immunosuppressive diseases can cause panting, such as swine fever, circovirus, blue ear disease, mycoplasma, and so on. I hope everyone learns to observe carefully, combine it with the immunization program, look at the whole picture, check them one by one, and if you suspect what disease it is, you must find evidence to support your suspicion.
