Indications for using the product
A natural drug is prescribed for an outbreak of a disease called tympanic scarring. The disease is a mortal danger for the pet. The disease occurs due to poor quality food or the predominance of concentrated feed in the animal's diet.
The gastrointestinal tract of a goat is arranged in a cunning manner. It consists of 4 parts (scar, mesh, oma and abomasum). First, the eaten food enters the "reception" of the digestive system - the rumen, where the food is processed by enzymes. By contracting, the scar crushes food and directs it to other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. There the feed is regurgitated, re-grinded and processed using special bacteria and enzymes.
A sophisticated system allows the goats to digest large amounts of plant food. Termination of the rumen poses a danger to animals. As a result of atony, the goat cannot regurgitate food, so the contents of the rumen rot and ferment.
Due to the increased gas production, an important part of the digestive tract swells and constricts the intestines. If the animal behaves nervously, constantly looks back at the belly, often wags its tail, the owners should be wary.
Shallow breathing and swelling in the abdomen are other signs of the disease. If you let things take their course and do not treat the pet, the goat may die.
Instructions for using "Tympanol" for goats
"Tympanol" is administered through the mouth of a goat. The procedure is carried out using a rubber bottle or a special probe. Through the esophageal tube, the drug is injected directly into the rumen cavity. In emergency cases, the emulsion solution is injected through the area of the hungry fossa using a surgical trocar. This procedure is performed only by an experienced veterinarian.
How to prepare a medicine for use:
- The drug in the bottle is shaken thoroughly.
- The emulsion is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10. For the treatment of mild cases of the disease, the medicine can be diluted at the rate of 1 part of the drug to 15 parts of water.
- Measure the required amount of solution. The dosage is calculated according to the formula: 0.5-1 ml of the drug per 1 kg of animal weight.
- If there is no improvement within a quarter of an hour, it means that one dose of Tympanol is not enough. You will have to dilute the emulsion with water again and repeat the procedure.
