MANAGING DOG BITE WOUNDS AND FLY STRIKE IN HEDGEHOGS

Dr Jill Drake BVSc

Dealing with wildlife can create many more challenges than when treating domestic pets. The mere fact that you are handling them in the first place is stressful to the animal, but then there is the reason you’re handling them, which is usually due to an injury. Along with the injury comes pain and shock and together with the stress can lead to the animal’s death. So minimising the amount of interference can be life saving when dealing with certain kinds of injuries.

One of the most common problems that I deal with in hedgehogs is dog bite wounds. Often these injuries occurred a day or two before the animal was found, and by that time, the wound has become necrotic and has attracted flies. مگس زدگی و حشره های حاصل از آن در زخم ها درد را تشدید می کند, در حالی که عفونت همزمان می تواند منجر به سپتی سمی و شوک شود. تمیز کردن زخم و برداشتن تمام تخم‌ها و حشره‌ها ضروری است. این زخم معمولاً نیاز به برداشتن قسمت اعظم حشره‌های زنده کوچک دارد, بزرگ‌ها را انتخاب کنید و تخم‌مرغ‌ها را بشویید, همه اینها وقت گیر است و باعث درد و استرس بیشتر برای جوجه تیغی در معرض خطر می شود.

جوجه تیغی حیوانی است که کار کردن با آن دشوار است, از نظر داشتن سنبله به جای خز روی اکثر بدنش. میخ ها را می توان با قیچی برش داد تا دسترسی بهتری برای تمیز کردن زخم ها فراهم شود, اما گرگرفتگی چند مشکل دیگر ایجاد می کند. It is impossible to prevent the liquids from running across the surrounding skin as the spines inhibit cottonwool packing around the wound. As a result, the animal becomes quite wet, is very difficult to dry thoroughly and they become cold, which aggravates shock.

The F10 Germicidal Barrier Ointment with Insecticide is a useful treatment for all wounds and injuries, but with the addition of an insecticide, the F10 Germicidal Barrier Ointment with Insecticide has become a safe and effective method of ridding wounds of maggots and fly eggs quickly, with minimum stress.

Depending on the condition of the animal and the extent of the fly strike, I may try to do some bulk cleaning. Thereafter, using a spatula, I apply a thick layer of the “pink ointment” (پماد ضد میکروب کش F10 با حشره کش) into and over the wounds and anywhere that fly eggs have been laid. In a matter of minutes the maggots starts dying and after an hour or two, most are dead. As with the treatment of any animal, it is safer to wait until it is in a more stable condition before trying to clean the wounds more thoroughly. In the Interim, I feel secure in the knowledge that having applied an anti-bacterial ointment, I have at least done something constructive for the wound in general.

Even while receiving treatment in the clinic, the smell from large necrotic wounds can attract flies, so by applying the F10 Germicidal Barrier Ointment with Insecticide to the wounds after daily treatment, fly-strike can be prevented.

خلاص شدن از شر حشرات با حداقل درد و استرس می تواند شانس زنده ماندن جوجه تیغی را تا حد زیادی افزایش دهد.. استفاده از پماد مانع میکروب کش F10 به همراه حشره کش تفاوت زیادی در نحوه مدیریت زخم های ناشی از مگس و گاز گرفتن به طور کلی ایجاد کرده است..
