"Haisheng, can this human food be fed to the rabbits? Even if it is possible, how to calculate the dosage?"
Meng Guangzhu was a little worried. There was no way to know how much dosage to use for a palm-sized rabbit.
The stomachs of the rabbits were already very fragile. If the dosage was not right, not only would the disease not be cured, but the rabbits would probably die directly.
"Use one-quarter dosage."
Meng Haisheng was also completely estimating. If he hesitated and did nothing, the sick rabbits would probably not survive.
"Okay, then use one-quarter."
Meng Guangzhu did not nag Meng Haisheng. He took the small pills and divided them into four pieces, feeding them to the rabbits one by one.
This was a delicate job. Soon Qu Lan, Meng Yue, and Lin Mucheng came to help.
"Dad, go to the rabbit house again to see if there are any rabbits in a bad mental state."
Meng Haisheng directed everyone to feed the pills to the rabbits one by one.
He was even more worried about the rabbits in the rabbit house.
"Or we can just quarantine all the little rabbits."
Meng Guangzhu also felt that he couldn't wait any longer. The sooner they were quarantined, the less affected the other big rabbits would be.
"Okay, then quarantine all the little rabbits."
There are more than 500 little rabbits in the rabbit farm that are more than a month old. It is a big project to quarantine them all.
The whole Meng family mobilized, but they didn't have enough manpower, so they called their relatives to help.
"Brother, I just heard from other families in the village that some little rabbits in their homes died."
Meng Qianqian came back from the village clinic with a big bag of medicine, and brought back even worse news.
Meng Haisheng frowned when he heard this.
"Dad, go and mix some medicine for disinfecting the rabbit house, and disinfect our rabbit farm inside and out. We must not let this flu virus spread in our rabbit farm."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Since the day of raising rabbits, Meng Haisheng has been prepared for a large-scale infectious disease in the rabbit farm.
He prevented rabbit plague, but he was really helpless against influenza.
Rabbits, like humans, can catch colds, but the symptoms and mortality rates are different.
I hope the influenza virus is not too strong this time, giving him a chance to practice.
The village clinic does not have much influenza medicine in stock, so Meng Haisheng asked Meng Guangzhu to drive a tractor to the town to see if he could buy more medicine from the veterinary station and pharmacy.
When rabbits began to fall ill on a large scale, Meng Haisheng realized that he did not have much medicine prepared in his rabbit farm.
Usually, he only prepared a few boxes, which was just for emergency use. Once a large number of people fell ill, there was not enough to eat.
The whole family went to the battle, and the rabbit with the worst spirit was quickly fed with medicine.
Then Meng Haisheng fed medicine to the rabbits that were closer to the sick rabbit one by one.
Now they all look pretty energetic, but no one knows whether the virus has spread.
The noise at Meng Haisheng's rabbit farm was so loud that it soon attracted the attention of the villagers.
A rabbit costs 5 yuan. Meng Haisheng is rich and wealthy, so he is not afraid of losing a few rabbits, but the villagers can't bear it.
Some people's rabbits are sick, so they also look for cold medicines for treating influenza viruses at home to give to the rabbits.
For a while, the atmosphere in the whole village was a bit tense.
Meng Hailian came back with Meng Guangzhu.
Meng Hailian called the laboratory in the county to inquire, and the final result was similar to his guess. The influenza virus caused the death of the rabbit.
The laboratory told Meng Haisheng several veterinary drugs and several human drugs.
In many places, veterinary stations do not have a lot of drugs in stock. If they are not enough, they can use human drugs to make up for it, and the effect is also good.
"The veterinary station in our town is just a decoration. There is nothing. Fortunately, there are alternative drugs."
Meng Guangzhu came back in a hurry with a large net bag of medicine.
Meng Haisheng took the medicine and quickly distributed it to everyone. Everyone worked together to feed all the other rabbits.
Feeding medicine to all 500 rabbits is a big project.
It was already mid-afternoon when all the rabbits were fed medicine.
Everyone was so busy that they didn't even have lunch.
"Grandpa Shi, why didn't you have lunch?"
After Meng Haisheng finished his work, he found that Grandpa Shi was also busy, and even Zhang Xing was now skilled in feeding medicine to the rabbits.
"I'm old, so I don't get hungry that easily. Everyone is almost done, let's clean up quickly."
It was a hot day, and everyone was sweating.
Meng Haisheng's old man's shirt was soaked with sweat, and it looked like water could be wrung out.
"Dad, let's eat first and get busy later."
Meng Guangzhu responded. They had done everything they could. Whether the rabbits could be safe and sound depended on God's will.
The family washed up and ate a little food to make do with the meal.
Meng Haisheng didn't rest and immediately returned to the rabbit farm to check the rabbits.The situation of the rabbits.
The dozen rabbits picked out in the morning have not shown any signs of improvement.
But the other rabbits have not been sick.
For the time being, it seems that the flu virus has been controlled.
But Meng Haisheng did not dare to be careless. He borrowed Mr. Shi's car again, went to Quyang County, ran to several veterinary stations and pharmacies, and bought a lot of medicine.
He planned to contact a manufacturer of veterinary drugs after this incident to see if he could order some drugs in large quantities.
Veterinary drugs are not easy to deteriorate, so it is okay to buy more and keep them at home.
In order to avoid being caught off guard like this time.
When Meng Haisheng returned home again, it was already a little dark.
"Dad, how are the rabbits?"
Meng Haisheng took down a large cardboard box from the car, which was full of veterinary drugs.
"Two of the rabbits we picked out this morning died again, but the other rabbits are in good spirits and should be able to survive."
"You were not at home just now, so I sprinkled disinfectant inside and outside the rabbit house, and added some influenza powder to the rabbit food for the big rabbits in the afternoon."
"Let's take precautions first, it's better than treating them after they are all sick."
Meng Haisheng nodded slightly, and he agreed with Meng Guangzhu's approach.
Prevention is always more important than treatment.
As soon as Meng Haisheng came back, villagers came to ask about giving medicine to rabbits.
Those who had raised poultry at home knew that they should reduce the amount of medicine when feeding the rabbits.
Those who had never raised poultry directly fed the rabbits a whole piece.
As a result, the rabbits took the medicine, and the influenza virus did not kill them, but they were directly poisoned to death by overdose.
"Everyone, give the rabbits a quarter tablet, don't use more."
"And don't throw away the dead rabbits, take them to the orchard, or dig a hole in the woods and bury them."
"If there are sick rabbits at home, spray them with disinfectant to kill the virus, don't let the virus infect other rabbits."
Meng Haisheng's words made sense to everyone, and they didn't care about the dark, and they all hurried home, feeding medicine and dealing with dead rabbits.
