206 THE VETERINARY SCIENCE. 



come full grown the liver becomes diseased, which stops the secre- 

 tion of the bile, and the animal soon falls off in condition, be- 

 comes very dull and weak, and has dropsical swellings under the 

 jaws, throat, chest and belly, and these symptoms are sooa 

 followed by death. 



Treatment. — There is nothing that can be be done but to 

 destroy the diseased animal to keep the disease from spreading, 

 and move the unaffected cattle to a higher and dryer pasture. 

 This disease does not affect horses, so horses can be turned on 

 the pasture the cattle are taken from. On examining the liver 

 after death you will find it diseased, and you will also find worms 

 which are from one-half to one inch long, and have round bodies. 

 In some cases you will find them in great numbers. 



WHITE SCOWERS IN CALVES. 



This is a form of diarrhoea in calves. 



Causes. — Is from an inflammation of the lining of the fourth 

 part, or true digestive stomach, and is generally caused from chang- 

 ing the calf's milk by taking the milk of another cow to feed it on, 

 or from giving it cold or skimmed milk when it is not used to it. 



Symptoms. — The manure it passes is very thin, and is of a 

 yellowish white color ; the calf is in pain, breathes heavy, and 

 groans in spells, keeps gritting its teeth and looking around at its 

 sides. 



Treatment. — Try and find out the cause of the trouble, and if 



caused from a change in the milk, or from giving it too cold, 



give good, warm milk to drink, and follow with the following: 



Raw Linseed Oil 2 ounces, or 8 tablespoonfuls. 



Lime Water 2 " 8 " 



Tincture of Laudanum 1 dram, or 1 teaspoonful. 



Mix and give as a drench, and if this does not give relief 



give the following : 



Tincture of Laudanum 1 dram or 1 teaspoonful. 



Lime Water 2 ounces, or 8 tablespoonfuls. 



Mix and give this three times a day in a little milk as a 

 drench. Keep this treatment up, and see that the animal is kept 

 dry and warm until it is better. 



BLOODY URINE (RED WATER) IN CATTLE. 

 Causes. — It is caused by the animal eating some weeds that 

 act on and irritate the kidneys, or it may be caused from stones 

 in the bladder or kidneys, or from a severe strain to the back.
