老鼠消化系統的問題 - 倉鼠

這是美國獸醫師從一本很厚的書上copy給我的 (我沒有書名 但是頁數是p.308 XD)
我想既然是專業書籍,裡面的資訊應該是最專業正確的,所以我就把文字全部貼出來
跳過專業術語之外不會太難懂 如果有強者有時間可以翻譯

重點
1.增生性迴腸炎(濕尾)是3-10週大的老鼠最主要的一種腸胃道疾病
2.死亡率很高
3.必須積極治療,主要以投以抗生素,平衡電解質,補充營養為主
4.可以把菠菜,蘋果,胡蘿蔔,萵苣,弄碎跟(某種)糖漿(e.g.果糖)混合.或是某種
營養補充粉末(Critical Care)或蜂蜜讓老鼠覺得這比較好吃XD


Hamsters
Digestive System (主要講的是黃金鼠)
The most common problems seen in pet hamsters are enteropathies.
Diarrhea may occur in hamsters of any age and is known as wet-tail, although
this euphemism is frequently used to describe the disease in young hamsters.
Proliferative ileitis is the most significnat intestinal disease of 3- to
10-week-old hamsters and results in a high mortaltiy rate. It is caused by the
intracellular bacterium Lawsonia intracellularis, which is also responsible for
prokuferatuve ebterioathy in pigs and ferrets.

Treatment must be aggressive and involves correcting an life-threatening
electrolyte imbalance, administering antibiotics, and force-feeding. Several
antibiotic treatments are recommended, including ....(抗生素名字 略)
Symptomatic treatment with bismuth subsalicylate may be given if diarrhea
persists. Given repleacement electrolyte and glucose solutions orally, and
administer electrolyte replacement fluids such as saline or lactated Ringer's.

Offer liquid food such as pureed baby spinach, apples, carrots and lettuce
mixed in equal parts with slurry made from rodent pellets, or offer a
nutritional supplement such as Critical Care. Adding 1 table spoon of honey
to the feed mixture may make it more palatable.

If hamster does not eat, force-feed small amounts of liquid feed. Potential
sequelace to proliferative ileitis in surviving hamsters are obstruction,
itussusception, or rectal prolapse.
