Temporary stomach pains, more or less violent, appearing after each meal, especially in the evening, sadness, feverishness.
Ocular mucous membranes are yellowish, the coat is lustreless, bristling; the belly is retracted, the mouth is dry and smells bad. There is a lack of appetite, or irregular appetite; alternating liquid, blackish, fetid diarrhea; evacuation is painful, and feces covered with mucosities and false membranes.
Excess of soluble proteins (= nitrogen) (metabolic type no 5), overload of the liver and intestines.
DRAINSOL + INTOXSOL morning and evening until symptoms disappear.
It mainly affects adult bovines between seasons, when the weather changes; the dilatation of the rumen causes a distension of the flank, and rumination stops.
There is often consumption of plants that are immature or hard to digest, but the root cause is rumen instability preceding the acute incident (metabolic type no 9); overloaded liver or insufficient draining.
INTOXSOL + DRAINSOL morning and evening for 2 days, and DRAINSOL morning and evening, 3 to 5 days as needed. (See metabolic type 9)
N.B. If the intoxicated cows stay outside, we can give them INTOXSOL the first day in the drinking water, (dry up the bowl or wait 3 days in order to avoid mixing 2 different products), DRAINSOL on the second day, INTOXSOL on the third day, then DRAINSOL on the fourth day.
It mainly affects calves that are nursed artificially. Appears after a meal, with stomach pains, nauseas, milkish vomit, and is often followed by diarrheic enteritis (acute inflammation of the bowels).
See chapter 2.3 scours
lack of colostrum at birth, indigestion of milk and grains, overfeeding with ruminal instability.
DRAINSOL+ INTOXSOL morning and evening, 2 to 5 days until symptoms disappear.
It often appears after intoxication, for example from alfalfa. The paunch is bloated and gases are kept in; there is a loss of appetite, depression or painful bellowing, anxiety and respiratory problems.
Protocol:
Give INTOXSOL+DRAINSOL alternated with DRAINSOL+FLAMESOL one 10 ml dose every 10 minutes until improvement, then 2 or 3 administrations hourly. Then follow up with the Protocol for chronic bloating.
A tendency to emit gases, frequent swelling, which is a symptom for a bad intestinal metabolism.
Liver overload, insufficient draining, excess of fine digest fibres = rumen instability (metabolic type no 9).
INTOXSOL+DRAINSOL in the morning and FLAMESOL in the evening, 3 days, and then once a week until the problem has been corrected.
Fertility problems, foot problems, repeated mastitis, productivity drop, ups and downs in appetite.
Day1 INTOXSOL
Day 2-3-4 DRAINSOL
Followed by
Day 1 INTOXSOL
Day 2 DRAINSOL
Day 3 EDEMASOL (alternate day 3 with MINSOL)
Once a week until no more toxins in the food
→nervous form: excessive nervousness, abnormal excitement, it wants to climb, shakes it’s head, can undergo convulsions and even coma;
→digestive form: loss of appetite, or dietary perversions, loss of production, raised abdomen, absence of ruminal noise or movements, dehydrated stools, grinding of teeth, acidic odour of the breath and even the milk (sour apple or warm beer).
Often a deficiency in carbohydrates or slow sugars (metabolic Type no 4) accentuated by any form of ruminal instability (metabolic Type no 9) or liver overload (metabolic Type no 5). Usually, a close up ration too high in protein, or a ration too aggressive post calving. Over weight cows or cows dry too long are susceptible to this situation.
DRAINSOL + INTOXSOL, 2 to 3 times a day, feed only dry hay until the cows intake returns to normal, usually 1 to 3 or 4 days. Re-introduce concentrate and silages slowly on 15 or 21 days.
Preventive draining 3 weeks before calving. As soon as there is the slightest drop in feed intake DRAINSOL+INTOXSOL once a day for a few days, a lot of hay and lower proteins.
Labo Solidago has been offerering since 1990 solutions to dairy farmers whose cows, sheeps or goats suffer from different ailments like mastitis, acute mastitis or toxic mastitis or chronic mastitis, footrot, different infections, like vaginitis or metritis, pneumonia and bronchitis, arthritis, acidosis and acetonemia, retention of the placenta, with signs like high somatic cell counts (leucocytes), slow growth and diarrhea in calves and cows.
