It is currently the dog days, the weather is hot, and many places start to get high temperature. In the hot summer, how should the guinea pig spend this hot season? How to prevent it from heat stroke, let's learn with the editor below, the guinea pig Heatstroke prevention knowledge!

guinea pig

1. Immediately go to a ventilated and cool place, and then find ice cubes and put them next to the pigs. If you don’t have ice cubes at home like me, then the editor will teach you to go downstairs and buy 5 pieces of Wangwang crushed ice. , and then put them together, wrap them in paper and place them next to the pigs, and buy popsicles if you don’t have the crushed ice.

2. Don't immediately flush the pig's body with cold water, because the pig's body is hot, and the cold water will quickly reduce the temperature of the pig's body surface, but it will force the pig's heat inside the body. , which is even worse, because I put the big one in cold water at the beginning, and now it doesn't recover as fast as the small one.

3. Feeding water, I will feed whatever water I want in a hurry: salt water, Huoxiangzhengqi water, VC water, and white water, and I will feed it every time. In the beginning, I should give the pigs some Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and then dilute it for the pigs. After all, I am afraid of drinking this thing, let alone such a small pig, and then feed the pigs 1%~2% after a period of time. % concentration of salt water, it must be fed water after a period of time, because pigs are very hot inside. The body temperature must be lowered

4. Observe the condition of pigs. Generally, pigs will stop defecation after heat stroke, because the dry heat in the body will cause the intestines to absorb the water in the stool. This feeling is related to the dehydration of horses. Same, this is super serious. My pigs haven’t had a bowel movement since heat stroke at noon. Then I picked it up at night and found that the PP was very swollen, and the poo inside was very hard and stuck there. It was all closed, and when I couldn’t buy Kasai Lu, I wiped the poop out with a cotton swab soaked in water, and then rubbed the pig’s stomach with a cotton swab soaked in water, (because there is no alcohol at home, remember It is better to use alcohol to dissipate heat, but I don't know if it is suitable for pigs). In this way, I feed water at intervals and rub their stomachs at intervals. The small pigs excreted some stools this morning. All of them are very dark, and then they are also very hard and not in good shape. The large ones are only discharged in the evening. poo.

5. Pigs and pigs will not eat soon after the heat stroke, because they have no energy, but there are still some vegetables and fruits that are easier to chew. Pigs will chew a little when they are hungry. , Vegetables and fruits have high water content. Usually we dare not let them eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, for fear of diarrhea, but now on the contrary, the stool is already very hard and lumpy, and a lot of water needs to be added.

6. You will find that the whole body of the pig with heat stroke is spread out, and the belly is on the ground. The resting posture of the pig is also the same in the hot weather, that is to say, the pig needs to rely on the stomach to dissipate heat, so in addition to using Wipe the pig's ears, hands and feet and other places that are not covered with hair with a cotton ball dipped in water. Use your hands to feel the temperature on the pig's stomach, because there is no thermometer that can be inserted into the pig's body, but we don't know the pig's body. The body temperature of pigs is normal, so if you have more than one pig at this time, you will be lucky. I compared the temperature of the stomach of a pig without heat stroke with that of a pig with heat stroke. Then use a cotton ball soaked in water to wipe the belly of the pig (this step can be combined with massaging the belly of the pig)

7. Feed the pig with bitter vegetables, this is checked I only found out from the data that bitter vegetables are good feed and can also clear away heat. This can be found, so it is still somewhat effective for pigs to eat bitter vegetables.
