DISEASES AND TREATMENT OF CATTLE 353 



Causes. — These are similar to those of inflammation of 

 the lungs, and this disease is very often present with it. 



Symptoms. — These are similar to those of inflammation 

 of the lungs, except that in pleurisy there is more of a grating 

 sound heard when the ear is placed to the side. The animal's 

 sides seem to be sore and he flinches more under pressure 

 than with inflammation of the lungs. 



Treatment. — The treatment is the same as for inflam- 

 mation of the lungs. Here as well as in all other lung 

 troubles be very careful in drenching to avoid choking. Allow 

 plenty of fresh air without a draft and keep the patient a* 

 comfortable as possible.
