Assalam o Alaikum
My name is Dr. Hafiz Aftab Ahmed and you are watching my channel ‘Aftab Veterinary Clinic’. Today we are going to discuss the case of ‘Hypothermia’. This is a typical case of hypothermia we come to see. We made its video for you. Now let’s see what we found. Her respiration is very slow. Eyes look sunken. Her ears are cold to touch. Ear base and also ear tip is very cold. Now we will note her body temperature. History of this animal is that she had eaten wheat grains and it lead to tympany. To get rid of tympany someone tells her owner to feed her grease (used in automobiles and machines for lubrication). Her owner says after feeding grease her tympany was removed but she used to lie down like this.
Her body temperature is 95.2 F. This is too much low. At this lowest temperature she is still alive.
To raise her body temperature we will administer her calcium drip (100 ml) and multivitamins. Like this is a preparation of B vitamins (50 ml) available in market, B12 (50 ml). Toldimfos sodium give very good results in hypothermia. We will give it in the drip iv. There is another preparation ‘Ami-vicom’ that is a blend of many vitamins and minerals. Purpose of this multivitamin therapy is when we give them iv, all body systems will work efficiently that will lead to raise in body temperature.
One thing to notice is we will first raise the temperature of drip to 102F and then inject iv, this procedure will give good results. 2 hours later we again noticed her body temperature and it is raised to 99.5 F. once her owner assumed that she will be no more but with good and timely treatment now she is recovering. She was lie down and now she is sitting on her own. 15-20 minutes she get up on her own. Actually the best recovery depends upon timely noting illness then proper diagnosis and at the end best treatment will give you best results. As in this case you might have noticed that she came out of the mouth of death. Her body temperature is still not up to mark because she is trying to defecate but not able. As soon her body temp raises to normal her all body systems will work normally. I hope she will be normal after more 8-10 hours. See how strange and difficult cases you have to deal with.
This was the today’s video. Will meet in next video.
Take Care
Allah Hafiz
