The taboo of giving medicine to sick chinchillas when they are sick p>
1. I feel bad for chinchillas, I can’t force it to take medicine
We all know that children are not particularly resistant to taking medicine and injections, but we can’t stop doing it just because they reject it. In order for the children to recover as soon as possible, it is still necessary to let them cooperate obediently. The same is true for chinchillas. Owners can’t stop giving medicines because they feel bad for chinchillas. However, many owners have made such mistakes. They feel that chinchillas are forced to take medicine. Yes, the consequences are predictable. If you don’t take medicine and the condition is not controlled by medicine, it will be difficult to improve and will continue to deteriorate. For example, when you find that chinchillas have soft stools, if you don’t pay attention to taking timely measures to treat them, chinchillas will easily develop enteritis and diarrhea and die. ; And chinchillas with a cold can easily die of pneumonia secondary to the lack of timely medical treatment. These are bloody lessons.
2. When giving medicine to chinchillas, do not dare to feed enough medicines
The use of medicines can only achieve good results at appropriate concentrations. The body size of the chinchilla is small and cannot bear the medicine, so the dosage of the medicine is not enough, and only a small effect of the medicine can be obtained, which will cause the virus in the chinchilla to develop drug resistance, which will prolong the course of the disease and cause greater harm. Therefore, the owner must obey the veterinarian’s instructions when administering medicine to chinchillas. Generally, veterinarians are very professional in the way of medication, and they are very sure of the dosage.
3. Eager to change dressings
Many owners are in a hurry within 24 hours after giving Chinchilla medicine. It is also wrong to change the medicine for treatment, and even change the medicine again after seeing no effect after changing the medicine. Because it takes a certain amount of time for the efficacy of the drug to develop, and after the efficacy of the drug takes effect, it also takes a certain amount of time for the chinchilla to respond to its own body, so not seeing the efficacy of the drug within 24 hours does not mean that the drug does not work. Hurrying to change the dressing will easily cause the chinchilla’s body to fall into a state of overloaded operation, causing the chinchilla’s body to become disordered and causing the originally effective medicine to fail. For example, chinchilla fungal skin disease, with proper medication, usually takes about two weeks to take effect, sometimes even longer. Therefore, the owner must keep in mind the veterinarian’s instructions and follow the veterinarian’s instructions to administer medicine to the chinchilla.
4. Stop the drug as soon as you see the chinchilla’s condition improves.
Generally speaking, if the chinchilla’s condition improves, it means that the drug starts to take effect, and its internal diseases are also affected. In the collapse, the treatment at this time is very critical, and additional drug treatment should be added to completely cure the chinchilla’s disease. However, if the drug treatment is stopped in advance, it will easily lead to a comeback of the disease, causing the chinchilla to fall ill again or relapse, which will increase the chinchilla’s physical capacity and make subsequent treatment more difficult.
In addition, it is worth noting that some chinchillas will stubbornly put the liquid in their mouths instead of swallowing when their owners give them medicine. Just spit out the liquid, and some owners are also worried about this situation. In order to prevent the chinchilla from spitting out the medicine, the needle is inserted into the deep part of the chinchilla’s mouth for injection, but this is often easy to choke the chinchilla, causing the dragon Cats vomit due to irritation, so owners should also pay attention to the correct medication for chinchillas. Generally speaking, you can stick the medicine on the chinchilla’s lips a little bit, and the chinchilla will naturally stick out the tip of the tongue to lick the food. Keep repeating the operation to let the chinchilla lick all the medicine. This is the safest and safest. Peace of mind medication.
Warm reminder: No matter what kind of liquid you feed your chinchillas, there is a high chance of encountering the situation of “Chinchillas don’t swallow after a few mouthfuls”, but there is no other better way , the owner can only be patient, feed more and try more repeatedly, in order to feed the chinchilla a sufficient amount of medicine.
