| Disease Description | Animal affected with diarrhoea does not feed properly and its dung stinks with mucus and blood. The tail and hind legs of the animal are daubed with dung. The animal is enervated. Many times animal is affected by diarrhoea due to intake of stale fodder. Overeating of tender grasses in monsoon or taking grass with mud also cause diarrhoea. |
| Management Practices | Diarrhoea will cause the animal to lose water and salts and if this is allowed to continue the animal can die. If you cannot get veterinary help you can give the animal a home treatment of rehydration fluid. To make rehydration fluid mix six teaspoons of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt with 1 litre of clean, warm water. Give this as a drench (500 ml for sheep or goats) four times a day for 3 days. Larger animals require more fluid, 5% of body weight 2 times per day. ( Treating sick animals in general http://www.fao.org/3/t0690e/t0690e0b.htm) |
