Indigestion 



The term " Indigestion " is chiefly employed for 

 indicating a class of symptoms which arise through 

 perversion of the digestive functions, but, in 

 some cases it is but symptomatic of functional 

 disorder, and in others, organic disease of such 

 organs as the heart, liver, stomach, bowels, etc., 

 is the cause. Treatment accordingly. 



In cattle and in horses, likewise sheep and dogs, 

 an accumulation of food in the bowels sometimes 

 provokes dyspeptic symptoms ; in fact, colic in the 

 horse is, at times brought on through indigestion. 



Worms are a common cause of this affection in 

 dogs. 



The terms "stomach staggers," "mad staggers," 

 and "grass staggers" are frequently employed as 

 synonymous with indigestion, and in accordance 

 with the predominating features.
