VAGAL INDIGESTION -ATROPINE TEST

PAPPLE SHAPED ABDOMEN 

PROCEDURE

•  INJ.Atropine Sulphate  30 mg SC or 0.06mg/kg SC route    
• A rise in heart rate of more than 15 to 20 beats per minute is suggestive of  VAGAL INDIGESTION

• FOR EXAMPLE:  
•        A cow suspected of Vagal Indigestion is having Heart rate of about 45/minute means......After administration of Atropine in SC route in ten to 15 minutes we have to auscultate again..It will be around 60 to 65 beats per minute. 

NOTE: The Atropine test is not much useful in all cases of Vagal Indigestion. Because only few   
             cases will have Bradycardia.If there is complications of Peritonitis or advanced stages of
            vagal indigestion or dehydration or severe distension of rumen, the animal will have 
            Tachycardia.

¢In normal animals without vagal indigestion means if atropine is administered there will be steep increase in hear rate. Tachycardia will be observed
