First of all, let me explain that I am from Tianjin. On June 6, because of the heavy rain in Tianjin, a nest of swallows nesting behind the unit light box was washed away. My colleagues and I tried to put the little swallow back near the original nest for the old swallow to claim, but found that the old swallow could not recognize it at all. After waiting for more than two hours, there is still no improvement. Besides, the temperature was low that day, and the swallows were wet. Afraid of freezing to death, I finally decided to take them away and raise them. I looked up some information on the Internet and found that swallows only eat insects. When it comes to keeping bugs for pets, I naturally think of bread bugs first. But because it was very late after work that day, I couldn't buy breadworms. So I temporarily use boiled eggs with a little purified water to make a paste and fill it with the smallest needle (if the needle is pulled out, I will pull out the needle when I use it later, so I won't repeat the explanation). Before this, the three Xiaoyan have completely recovered their vitality and have been actively begging for food. The other two, 65,438+0, have also improved, but they are still weak, while the other 65,438+0 is completely motionless. Although they didn't die, they didn't respond. At that time, I thought this one was enough. After preparing the yolk for them, the three of them rushed to eat it very actively when feeding. Although the wilted ones didn't take the initiative to grab them, they could actively cooperate when they were fed into their mouths, and the weakest ones could only be forced to fill them.
The next day, I found that four healthy swallows had completely recovered their vitality, and the weakest one finally died. Through the examination of the body, it was found that the food poured into his body was not swallowed at all, and many remained in his mouth. Afterwards, I also thought that it might be my forced eating that not only failed to save it, but accelerated its death. Therefore, I also suggest my friends that if swallows are found to be washed out of their nests by heavy rain and their spirits are poor, and they have no desire to eat or swallow at all, they should keep warm first, and then feed them after their spirits have eased and they have the desire to take the initiative to eat. However, if they still have no desire to eat after a long period of observation (about 12 hours), they are also advised to drink some glucose water instead of paste or solid food, which will lead to suffocation and death. After my observation and comparison, the four surviving swallows in the picture feel that it should be around 7- 10 days. Feathers and fluff are still scarce, so it is important to keep warm. So I took a glass bowl, put towels and toilet paper on it and made a nest for them. After recovering their vitality, they have a good appetite, because I can't feed them all the time like mother swallow, so I choose to feed them every 2-3 hours, a little more at a time. At this stage, they can eat 6-8 breadworms at a time. In fact, I think they can eat more, but because they are too small and lack self-control, they are afraid that they will not hold on, so they are only 8 (all) at most. Besides, the way I feed them is not to feed live breadworms (because breadworms are actually quite strong and swallows are small, and I am afraid that feeding them alive will hurt my stomach). Instead, the live breadworms are drowned with pure water, and then dipped in water to feed them, which can not only supplement nutrition, but also ensure water. Then clean the nest, because swallows eat more and defecate faster. Swallows defecate outside the nest, but because it is an artificial nest, it is relatively high. So they often excrete feces in their nests. At this time, they should be diligent in changing toilet paper for them. Every time I find feces in their nests, I will change their toilet paper to keep their nests clean and hygienic. Pictures pictures have been like this since they came to me this week. It should be about 2 weeks after birth. At this stage, their spirits are good, their appetite is strong, and they are becoming more and more lovely. The feeding method has not changed at this stage, but at this stage, they can eat 12- 15 bread worms at a time. But at this time, I found that 1 didn't seem to stand up among the four swallows. At first, I thought it was the kind that faded at first. It may be that I fell heavily when I fell out of the bird's nest before, and I didn't fully recover. But it turned out that this was actually a very dangerous sign. Picture Picture Picture Picture Picture After 1 many weeks of adoption, I found that the original situation that the swallow could not stand up seemed to be more serious, but I always thought it was a fall before and did not fully recover. But when I adopted them for nearly two weeks, two more swallows showed the same symptoms. I felt unstable at first, but my appetite and spirit were normal. Later, the situation became more and more serious, even unable to stand up at all, and the food intake dropped sharply to 1/4, which was already very dangerous. Later, after I found the reason myself, I basically determined that it was bird paralysis. The cause of the disease is the nutritional imbalance caused by long-term feeding of a food, especially the bread worm, a high-protein food. Excessive intake will cause serious calcium loss. Calcium deficiency will cause bad bones, and if the bones are bad, they will naturally not stand up. After determining the cause, I checked the information on the Internet and worked out the treatment method, which is to supplement their nutrition, so I bought calcium tablets (tablets), vitamin AD (capsules with oil inside), vitamin B group (tablets) and vitamin C (injection). The method of administration is to grind calcium tablets and vitamin B into powder, and then pour it into vitamin C injection and mix it evenly (it should be noted that since the injection bottle is glass, you must carefully check whether there is any residual broken glass after knocking it open). Then inhale with a needle of 1 ml, and give them 0.45 ml each. When feeding breadworms, vitamin AD can be applied to the surface of breadworms, each time 1 capsule. Start taking medicine
