DISEASES OF THE ^ERVOUS SYSTEM. 525 



PALSY. 



This is characterized by partial or comjilete loss of motion or 

 sensation in some part of the mnscnhir system, and is common 

 in the canine race. The k-ins and hind limbs suffer more fre- 

 (piently than other parts. 



Symptoms. — The animal may eat well and seem cheerfnl, but 

 his belly is tucked up, and there are two longitudinal cords 

 parallel to each other, which will scarcely yield to pressure. 

 Castor oil will remove the trouble, and should be given freely 

 until the proper effect is produced.
