COWS, however, resist any attempts to help them, and will 

 struggle Tip if left alone ; drag the paralyzed limb, *•' knuckle

I may state, in conclusion, that parturient apoplexy is a recur- 

 ring disease, and that it is not sa^e to allow a cow to calve 

 after it has once been down ; and if the owner consults his 

 own interests, he will milk it as long as possible, and then 

 prepare it for the butcher. 



I have heard of several cases of post-parturient paralysis 

 in which dislocation of a hip-joint has been discovered post 

 mortem.
