Dexamethasone has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and anti-toxin effects, and can quickly relieve the condition. Ribavirin has antiviral effects. VB6 participates in the metabolism of amino acids and fats, and has It has the effect of alleviating gastrointestinal reactions. There are no incompatible contraindications for the combination of these drugs. They are both anti-inflammatory and antiviral. They have proven efficacy and are an ideal group of drugs for the treatment of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. In terms of management, once a sick pet dog is found, it should be isolated and treated promptly, and strictly disinfected to cut off the source of infection to minimize losses. When sick animals get better and have appetite, in order to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa and reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, the diet should be controlled. Egg yolks can be given where conditions permit. For the first meal, 1/4 egg yolk is given to animals weighing less than 10kg, and 1/4 egg yolk to animals weighing more than 10kg. Give it at 2/4, and gradually increase it for the second meal. After reaching one egg yolk, you can add easily digestible food. Meat, fish bones, and bones are prohibited.
